Imagine ruining your life and your family's life just to kill a CEO. That's really sticking it to the man. Only for the company to put a new CEO in its place, who might just be worse than the previous CEO.

Now you are in jail for murder and the CEOs wife can now sue your family for damages. Not that CEOs wife will ever see any money? The fact that your family's life is now ruined

Hope those three day old sandwiches, you'll be eating while sitting in jail was worth it.

---

Scenario:

I pay my premium for myself and my 6yo son. I never miss a payment and go to in network providers, etc, etc. My son gets diagnosed with something normally covered and, because reasons, he gets denied care and dies.

Those 3 day old sandwiches will taste just fine while I reminisce about how the scum sucking CEO is 6 fee under.

---

Or a second scenario:

You pay your premiums and you never miss a payment, go to in network providers, etc. You're diagnosed with a terminal illness and there is a new treatment that is showing promise that is curing and/or extending the life of those with the treatment, but because of reasons, your insurance provider denies it and you just had your last Thanksgiving.

Those 3 day old sandwiches will taste just fine for the months you have left while you laugh about that scum sucking CEO beating you to the dirt.

A man with a grudge who knows his life is ending soon and has nothing to lose is very dangerous. I'm honestly shocked it hasn't happened before.

---

Scenario is still immoral response to a questionably immoral situation. The CEO does not have %100 knowledge and understanding of every single denial or insurance dispute.

I was rejected for a treatment for my severe illness by Aetna. I did not ever think of murder. Not even once.

---

Obviously nothing justifies this...would just find the shooting less sprurising if something like that turned out to be the case.

---

There are definitely things that justify this, even if they don't make it legal. Not saying those things exist in this scenario, but they do exist.

---

can you really blame people for not having sympathy for these clowns. They deny people insurance all the time but sure as **** won't refund premiums

---

I feel about as I would had the boss of a large crime family been gunned down, honestly.

They are pretty damn close to the same thing, but are way more powerful with the lobby on K street.

---

They are way more dangerous than an Italian mafia family.

These people really have no idea what's coming. They've tried to placate the masses with pornography, TikTok's and other nonsense. People can barely make it. I do relatively well as a professional but every day is a struggle. I can't imagine what struggle others have. But meanwhile the elites have money to send to Ukraine: The clock is ticking.

Such a wild deal. Intrigued to see what the motive was if they find the shooter.

Insane. How many bullets were actually fired? Did all rounds have text

That's what IMO doesn't make this a pro. A pro would've likely taken her out as well. This was an amateur who was either hired or he was pissed off

---

Disagree. The guy knows he is on camera. He also knew she wasnt a threat. What information is that woman going to give law enforcement that the video wouldn't?

Also it isn't like some rando is going to know the CEOs schedule.

---

Weird case. Dude was cool and had the 'look' of someone that has done this before, especially given how he causally walked away.

But...

Then struggles with his weapon leaving 3 live 9mm rounds and some brass. You would think a pro would know his ammo and weapon and quickly police the brass. Yet the dude was coldly ruthless.

Like I said odd.

---

Tells me that pistol is at the bottom of the river or melted down. Non concerns of spent rounds being traced back to the pistol.

---

Uh, I don't think even the best assassin in the world is going to recover his spent rounds on the sidewalk in Manhattan

---

Some of y'all are missing my main point. My question is, why are there unspent rounds on the ground? You'd think a pro would know the tools of his trade like the back of his hand. So a pro goes on a hit with a jacked up gun or bad ammo ?

Odd

I think this is why we are seeing so many of the wealthy support leftist positions that are seemingly against their interests. When the mobs arrive they can say "but I was on your side!" They also likely think they can keep tossing scraps to the poor to keep them quiet and placate them with pop filth, salacious trials and scandals.

Dont get me wrong. I am 100% capitalist and people should be able to make whatever they can make. However, this isn't capitalism. This is crony capitalism hybridized with consumerism at best.

Wife was in house counsel for a small regional medical provider. United Healthcare was the worst. Owed them over a half million+. They would simply not pay and just ignore for months letters from the legal team. They knew they had extreme leverage because the provider didn't want to be cut off from them.

So not only does United directly screw patients, they do so as well to providers.

They suck. Not surprised someone went after their CEO.

This is the largest evidence that this guy is not a professional hitman. A suppressor works by using baffles to slow down and cool the expanding gases produced by the gunpowder, which reduces sound. He had to manually cycle the pistol because he probably used incorrect ammunition, such as subsonic, in combination with the suppressor causing insufficient gas pressure to fully propel the slide rearward. He did seem prepared for it, however, as he did not appear surprised and quickly cleared any jam and cycled the pistol. My take is that he was concerned about noise so used a suppressor with subsonic ammunition that provided insufficient gas pressure to cycle the semi-automatic pistol.
