    Not a lot of people are willing to put themselves between a CEO and a mass riot for $14/hr.

      Lol where have you been? People doing monumentally stupid, dangerous and violent things for insultingly small sums of money for rich assholes is kind of our thing. If you offer silver for violence there will always be takers.

        Disagree. People do things for profit to a point. As a veteran who’s done security work, soldiers and veterans start because of a faith in doing the right thing. Security work doesn’t have that ideology. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather go home to my family over fighting off 500 people angry about their lives. It’s an entirely different motivation, with entirely different standards to be covered. Money doesn’t buy values or standards. And when you buy security, that security can be bought. Nobody is untouchable.
