Summary
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot in a targeted attack outside a New York Hilton hotel, with investigators describing the killing as meticulously planned.
The gunman fled on foot, then by rental bike, and possibly left the city via bus. Shell casings at the scene had words like “deny” and “defend” inscribed, hinting at a motive linked to Thompson’s work.
Experts suggest the shooter may have military or weapons experience but left key clues, including surveillance footage and discarded items.
Police are analyzing evidence, including DNA, to identify the suspect.
Well, I’ll be damned! The republicans were right!
All it takes is a good-guy with a gun!
How about these fucking class traitors use their resources to catch the murderers of decent everyday people instead
There are three kinds of people in this world. Those who benefit from the system, those who are exploited by the system, and those who deluded themselves into thinking the system benefits them.
What about the people who delude themselves that they are not beneficiaries of the system?
Why don’t you call the tip line and ask them yourselves? Your son could be shot in the face in broad daylight and they were just move on the next day. They would never look for your son’s murderer.
Why are they protecting the ultra wealthy more than they are protecting the working class??
Maybe the police are not here to protect us after all?
Ok like the police suck but they would absolutely look for a murderer in that instance. No reason to exaggerate when they’re bad enough
I played a cop in a video game once and know that they investigate murders of poor/homeless people.
So happy for you
Oh no. What if they never find him? What if this poor, sweet, humble, *checks notes* absolute monster of a healthcare CEO never gets justice.
Narrator: but he already got justice.
Narrator: but he already got justice.
“We are not incredibly incompetent. The shooter was very smart” - overfunded police ranking as a top military force
They’re just anxious to get back to the real problem, domesticated squirrels.
Further proof that if you’re smart enough you can usually get away with it, and a reminder that cops are only effective because must criminals are fucking stupid.
Well yeah. The real criminal is dead. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If he planned this much and they don’t know his names homie is long gone by now
Let’s see here. It’s currently the 7th. I wonder what other things happened in NY that need attention. Everyday is indeed a busy day.
It’d be the cherry on top if he left evidence that linked other health insurance CEOs.
Okay, honestly? Hear me out because as an European one thing stood out to me.
Why didn’t NYPD catch him? Because he fled using… public
communicationtransportation. It’s too out of this world for them to be able to track him down. No protocols. No nothing. Because nobody, ever, uses public communication in USA.Edit: And it seems I am the bigger joke for writing public communication when half-asleep. ._.
Did he use public transit? I thought the first thing I heard is people thought he used a rental bike but it turned out it wasn’t one of those. But yeah even if he did I think basically what he did was ride from the scene of the crime into Central Park which has less CCTV and is a lot harder to track people in so it probably took longer for the police to find his trail from there.
I wonder who was next in line to be CEO at that outfit? Seems like a great setup to use a hired, trained hit man along with some inscribed bullets to make it seem like a political asassination. In other words, if maybe this wasn’t revenge: who all would benefit from this CEO’s demise?
It is wild that he was there minutes before CEO walked by, considering the meeting was later and CEO went early. Makes it sound like a more sophisticated operation.
Good.
it sure would be funny if someone photoshopped out his face in the I.D. photos and started publishing them as though it were his real face. It could make for great satire.
And here I was, thinking it was sheer coincidence and good luck. I guess that’s why I’m not “an expert”.
Ok. Anyways what do you think of the upcoming football match?
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Just ask his sister Maggie where he bought his bunker with his Donnie Darko money… Nobody? Not one fucking mention he looks exactly like him??
I mean, it certainly was the first thing that popped to mind. But no, I didn’t mention it.
Omg ty!
