    I mean, you can grab headlines by firing into a crowd too, but no one should do that either

    Targeting museums and people trying to get to work or home is absolutely the stupidest strategy possible. These groups myst be funded by big oil, they’re just too on-the-nose wrong to be organic.

    And “there’s no such thing as bad press” hasn’t been true since Tiger Wood’s sexting scandal.
