If this started happening to lots of CEOs, you’d suddenly see gun control laws have Republican support, just like magic.
Chappelle joked once that if black people want to see serious gun control in the US all they need to do is buy a gun themselves.
It’s not really a joke, the pro gun Black Panthers are why the Northeast and California have stricter gun laws.
And that legislation was brought by none other than Ronald Reagan.
I’m starting to think that this Reagan guy might actually have been a bit of a jerk
Behind the Bastards epidode. Their bit on Nancy is WILD if remotely true. https://youtu.be/RrY2V07sB78?si=rB3UjFsJI_5ZK1mP
Robert tends to do pretty great research and the stuff about Nancy wasn’t exactly a closely guarded secret. Those two really were two shits in a bowl
If they were shooting up board rooms instead of classrooms we’d have gun control yesterday.
maybe it’s the “oligarch fell from 10th floor window” USA version?
Oooooo he got Epsteined so to speak.
United Health, under the leadership of this genius, is responsible for thousands of deaths, a massive data breach, and all around predatory business practices
They also used “AI” to deny a bunch of claims. Fuck this guy and whoever replaces him. Insurance companies should be dismantled. They’re a scourge on society.
What the shooter did = straight up murder.
What the victim did = sorta, kinda, mass murder, but also legal because the US is a broken country.
Thousands and one deaths
There’s got to be like what, 100million suspects?
It might be easier to ask ‘who didn’t want this guy dead?’.
Maybe his family. All I know is he crossed someone enough to shoot him, so we can’t exactly rule out his family. Where was Maggie?
Probably just a good old fashioned mugging honestly.
Someone waited for him, them shot from 20 feet away, my money is on targeted attack.

Probably bled out waiting for approval to expense the gauze
Mask, disappeared on a bicycle in the early morning hours? The likelihood of this remaining an unsolved murder is incredibly high unless the guy decides to announce why he did it
This guy knew what he was doing. Probably didn’t carry a cell phone and I wouldn’t be surprised if the silencer turns out to be homemade. Reminds me of the movie “Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai”. Where the hitman did a bunch of practical things to keep from being traced.
You’ll probably start seeing CEOs with heavy security details from here on out.

Who are you to decide what justice is? I know you probably hate insurance companies, but is the system being not the fault of politics not reforming it. Violence LARPing seems really prevalent here, idk man

oh no we’re unhinged lunatics for being glad that a mass murderer got taken out
There was another story about a wealthy CEO being gunned down in a posh area of New York City. Everyone said it was an example of street crime being out of control but it turned out to be one of his wealthy business partners. Could be the same case here.

I think the bullets were a preexisting medical condition.
NY Post is a right wing shitrag. I literally have it blocked at a network level it’s such a fucking bad source.
The likelihood of this being a targeted attack is near zero and this is NY Post trying to get the wealth class scared that people are going to target them so they can justify a pretext for more law enforcement “protection” of “special” people like this guy.
They know they deserve to be targeted so they’re working on massaging the media to promote the idea that they need protection before real targeting happens.
The first two outlets to report on this and say it was targeted were NY Post and fucking Bloomberg. Both right wing shitrags with vested interest in protecting the wealth class.
Here is a follow up from Reuters without claims of a targeted attack.

Says the shooter had a suppressor. I don’t think random muggers do.
shooter had a suppressor
Well that’s really polite in terms of noise. Maybe it was a Canadian hitman. Manners, you know.
Your assumptions show your biases against random muggers. You should be more open-minded.
^Does this need an /s? I’m gonna put an /s, just in case^
Sure, but the police are saying it was targeted. And it’s being reported all over. https://abc7news.com/shooting-man-shot-midtown-manhattan/15622426/
So post a worthwhile fucking source.
Stop being so angry, have a Snickers and run this through Google translate:

This is a Swedish national TV network news article about the murder.
They also mention it being potentially targeted.
They broke the story as far as I can tell.
Ah yes, the police. Impartial and unbiased I’m sure.
Okay but not everything is a conspiracy either. It’s a developing story and it’s entirely plausible it was targeted.
Okay but not everything is a conspiracy either
That’s what they want you to believe
Or is that what they want you to believe about them wanting you to believe?
Oh shit! *adds another layer to my tinfoil helmet*
Maybe it’s just me, but I would consider the theory that this was a targeted assassination to be conspiratorial thinking.
Which is of course still plausible.
It seems plausible that one of the people who has been fucked over by UnitedHealthcare got pissed enough to do something about it.
And there’s enough of them that the odds of this not being targeted are, frankly, lower than the alternative.
He was a high level CEO of a company that alot of people have beef with. They used a silencer and Midtown is pretty wealthy and muggers don’t steal in those neighborhoods because they are very likely to be apprehended.
They may have added the “targeted” info afterwards. From that Reuters article you linked:
New York Times reported that police view the attack as targeted.

sucks for them but if my dad/spouse got rich off exploiting and killing people like me then I don’t think I’d be sad that someone retaliated against them
