Re: My Sony Mea Culpa as we revisit a thread from 4 years ago - 25 days ago

pc- i can easily see a scenario where after a few bad quarters, nikon starts to look like olympus and finds a way to re-brand through chapter 11. i think the idea of nikon going under has helped moved me from my nikon dslr to a sony mirrorless body. i just rather invest in sony glass than nikon glass (even if i like/love many features of using a nikon system!) thumbs up. rob

in no way was i (or i believe the article) suggested committing criminal acts was okay. i do think the situation needs to have some recognition of this vet's mental health. imho, the issue should not be criminalized. i also wonder (believe), how socio-economic/race plays into this. i'm guessing, but if this vet was white and college educated with dual income parents, this guy would be
