Good thing it’s totally impossible for any subsequent Adjusters to get a job as a security guard and inside job that shit. That’d be a really big security hole, wouldn’t it? 😉

I can imagine a movie like

form security company
become successful , hired for many rich people
everyone thinks you sold out
execute a bunch of rich assholes all at once in a coordinated manner

Yeah one guy could easily take out two people, I recommend every CEO and CFO surround themselves with 6 minimum wage workers with guns.

I'm starting to think he'd make a great President.
