They were trying to take off in the middle of a thunderstorm. If they had waited fifteen minutes, the storm would have been past them

Is it the artists that sign contracts with Ticketbastards, or the venues, the record companies, or some combination?

No one (no sane person, anyway) wants to kill Electrical Linemen for the sole reason that they are Electrical Linemen. That was the point I was trying to make: plenty of people want cops dead because they are cops. Not many other occupations carry that specific risk. Maybe divorce attorneys, etc.

>Police officers have a safer job than many other professions, they are not even close to the on-the-job mortality rates of Electrical Linemen, Logging workers, Oil/Gas workers, and etc.
But I would guess that in the list of professions in which getting murdered on the job just because of the job is a serious concern, law enforcement has to be near the top
