How would Blackrock know to search for any instances of the alleged shooter in their video ads? Is that standard practice for companies to review their advertisements after an incident such as this? And how far back do you look, 2, 4, 10 years? Just very odd.

Something smells funny here. If only they could figure out how to unlock that phone! Lol

Did AT&T just get hacked, revealing all calls and texts.. I’m sure those hackers could help

Can’t remember specifics, unfortunately, but I do know there have been times in the past where they had no trouble and if they did they would tell the wireless provider to cough up the phone records. Just another example of coverup.

It happened with the pulse night club shooter in Florida. The FBI needed the backdoor to his Apple phone and they denied them access. It went to court.

I discovered how easy it is to hack someone's computer when mine refused to respond and Apple walked me through a few simple steps to bypass the password. I have to believe the phone is the same. So much for privacy! (That last sentence may need a /sarc)

Maybe they should try using John Podesta's password.

That's extra funny to those of us who watch True Crime stuff on a regular basis. The first thing they do is bust into the phones. Not only that, obviously, even if a person tries to delete what's in there, it's no good. ALL of it can be tracked.

Because the ad was spotlighting a teacher at Bethel Park High School which the shooter attended. Included an image of the front of the high school.

In the ad, the teacher was extolling the benefits of Blackrock investments, blah, blah, blah.

That is important context. Otherwise, it's a real WTH moment.

Laura Loomer posted that video on Twitter. Don’t know if she was the first to have it or not, but the video was out there, so Blackrock didn’t have any choice.

They scrub soooo much from the internet.

There was a video of Jill first husband that disappeared around 2018.. still can’t find it. Didn’t save it on hard drive

Immediately thought this. Does big business do this as standard practice when something awful is in the news? Is this a part of PR departments?

Laura Loomer reported on it either late Saturday or Sunday. I'm not sure how she found out so quickly as the kid was just an extra in the commercial and not mentioned by name.

Laura Loomer found it, I believe. Maybe internet image search for his face?

Unless they saw their connection to the shooter might receive unwanted attention.
