If he had killed any of us, the cops wouldn’t give a shit.
Remember that.
He wouldn’t have killed any of us.
Remember that.
But any CEO of any health insurance corporation absolutely would.
I dunno, I’m the CEO of my own single-member LLC.
How many deaths is your company responsible for?
Just my own, every day.
Then you’re fine and have nothing to fear from The Adjuster.
All the brain cells from doing bureaucracy
And if you were in a bad situation, cops on the scene have a higher chance of killing you.
These insurance providers kills thousands and the cops don’t give a shit.
Murder clearance rate in Manhattan is over 80%.
Too bad they can’t just pick up a rando with mental health issues and lie, torture, and starve him in a room until he “confesses”
Those goalposts heavy?
If I’d done what that CEO fuck probably did to this guys family, he would a been justified in killing me too
I hope you haven’t…
Nah, they just finger their cat.
Imagine what happens if they fail, and they can’t even produce a fall guy?
The thing is, Americans know their police force is lazy and useless. We’re all joking about all the murders that will go unsolved that have occurred since the CEO’s death. Now, there’s a real chance that their incompetence will be on full display. Is it really out of the question to think that they have become so impotent that someone could carefully plan and execute an assassination?
I expect they’ll find a fall guy if they can’t find the real killer. Can’t look incompetent when the nation’s watching!
“we’re going to get this guy”
Twist: that’s not the guy that shot him…
That’s 6 words, 7 if you removed the contraction. I think it was the k-9 unit with the lead pipe in the kitchen.
Are they sure someone got hurt? I hope the gangbang worked out for Trisha… If really someone actually did get hurt.
I’m wondering if they’re holding back on sharing extra pictures of him, because by now they must be aware that the likelihood of people helping him hide is super high
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if people broke out of any detention facility of he is ever to be caught just to drive the point home to the parasite class…
He didn’t commit any crime. Get fucked
Jury nullification.
He’s not getting a jury. They’re going to cut him down and say he shot himself so his legacy will be that he was a coward . At least that will be the attempt but it seems like everyone will know better
This exactly my thought. They will do everything to make him crazy or suicidal.The good thing is that someone leak what he wrote on the casing. This makes it clear he is socially motivated. Hopefully, if they ever close in, he will have an online stream up.
He should walk naked into a major TV studio carrying nothing, ask them to call the cops. Force them to accept a surrender.
I still don’t think the smiling picture is him. Unless he ditched the backpack and jacket, got different ones and then ditched the backpack again.
“He was in the middle of sexually assaulting the news crew.”
Hangs self in cell when camera is broken.
Americans really need to google these words if they haven’t already.
Most Americans didn’t see any crime…
You are assuming that this saint protector of the working people could be presumably guilty of a crime
Oh no, I’m not talking about this case. Just in general, it’d be good of Americans to inform themselves on that.
In a private browsing window because if they know you know about it you will never serve on a jury.
Good luck going though the search history of every single person up for jury selection.
Also, a “private window” won’t lean jack shit, just means your local personal files won’t save what you do. Cookies and Google and whatnot still do.
If you want to be anon, use TOR with VPN or at least a VPN.
I don’t think its helpful to combine a Tor and VPNs in most situations. Tor itself should be fine
Vpn with tor can hide the fact that you’re using tor from your isp
It pretty much is the VPN as far as I’ve understood it.
That’s not what people mean when they say do not use a VPN with tor

thanks
Second link seems to be down.
Yep, it’s gotten me out of jury duty twice
If people with intelligence and empathy skip out on jury duty, that leaves idiots and sociopaths to judge the accused.
You have to say it six times in a row in front of a mirror with the lights off.
I love how they’re using the full force of their resources to catch this guy, but a random murder they put two detectives on for a few months, shrug and close the case.
shrug and close the case
This needs more attention. We should all be collectively outraged at the police response. They should saddle 2 detectives with the case and direct all these resources back to where they were before. The rest of the CEOs can sleep with one eye open.
And every politician, every cop on the street Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite
Thaaaat is how the world works! 🎶
Black, brown or cream jacket. So hard to tell them apart!
In addition to looking for the killer, police are still searching for a motive as to why someone would kill Thompson.
This is definitely where they need to focus their resources first.
Honestly? Yea probably. It’d be fucking amazing if the police ended up releasing a report on just how much UHC fucked this guy or his family/friends over.
It’s clear they haven’t even given it a first look. The guy put the title of the book on the bullet casings
Too bad they can’t read!
I’m convinced. This is a South Park episode.
Yes. It is extremely bizarre how something like this could happen.
Especially since the president elect already said he could do the same thing one block over, four years ago
I mean for all we know it has nothing to do with healthcare premiums. The guy could be a fellow board member who got boned out of a bonus or something.
The message on the bullets would suggest otherwise. To me that seems like an attempt to preempt speculation that the motive had nothing to do with insurance company fuckery.
Could just as easily be a red herring.
I mean, most likely it isn’t internal insurance drama, but it could be.
Besides, how amazing would it be for the cops to say “yeah so we researched this and it was definitely a retaliation execution for all the lives he murdered in his quest for money and power”. Talk about putting the billionaire class on alert haha
Tbf, that’s the largest pool of potential suspects, so it makes sense that they’d want to call police attention in that direction regardless of the actual motive. I do think it’s genuine, but it’s a smart move either way
ah shit. Run, bro.
They’re bluffing. Trying to get him to make a mistake
yea I was wondering about that. But I’m not so sure, it seems plausible that they would have been able to amass footage of him throughout the city
They don’t have that kind of network set up to my knowledge. Maybe in London but not New York.
They also found “his” back with monopoly money in it…
Seems plausible that NYPD are stupid haha
Someone else said they might be counting each frame of a 24fps security camera as a photo, so like less than eight seconds right?
That’s actually 6 words.
Unfortunately, I’ve worked with a lot of republicans in my lifetime. Hating overpaid CEOs and thinking insurance is a scam are 2 of the only things I’ve seen republicans and democrats agree on. Good fucking luck convicting him.
Oh shit, a crime the cops actually have to solve, haha, can’t just frame some poor sap this time gotta do some actual detective work. I hope they never catch him and the PD gets defunded. I know its NYC and they need cops but I think they could use a haircut at least
They can’t even blame a brown or black person, this is SSS rank detective work and they are a one-legged Kickboxer in this match.
Ya, this white guy must have them stumped.
I’m entirely unconvinced that anyone needs the thugs with badges. Multiple studies have shown that every single time that the NYPD pulls a “blue flu,” the crime rate drops, significantly. As far as I can tell, the thugs with badges cause a significant amount of the crime in this country.
I agree, but if one day we abolished all cops, people in NYC especially would freak out. Hell some cops would probably do a bunch of crime to prove a point. Its not a demand that people like very much, . I think the police as a force that absolutely only exists to protect private property of the owning class, and I don’t know if you wanna hear my “nuanced” opinions and I don’t know if they’re worth very much. But I think that the police as a reactive force needs to be handled tactically in order to protect people who are protesting and force through demands. By and large I agree with Farrell Dobbs analysis in teamster rebellion was, during a political rebellion such as the 1934 Minneapolis teamster strike, the state of a police department changes daily and must be evaluated daily based on primarily their numbers. It would be great for left wing mass movements to make demands on the ruling class if that number was zero, but that’s unrealistic and most people know it.
We all watched them sit around for an hour knowing small children were dying inside a school. We know exactly what they’re made of
It’s already been two and a half days. The longer they go without catching him the less likely it will be that they do.
The fact that they are issuing a wider manhunt seems to back that up.
Given the publicity, I’m sure that they’ll catch a guy, but I’m skeptical that they’ll catch that guy.
Hate to burst the bubble but this guy threatened the illusion that the billionaire class is untouchable. The ultra-rich are going to be leaning heavily on all the politicians and officials they helped put into position to ensure this guy gets caught no matter the cost, and ensure he’s made an example of.
It might not be the NYPD or any other civil police department, but you can bet NSA & FBI leadership is getting multiple phone calls demanding they get involved and go over every piece of information related to the shooting they can get till they identify the killer. The ultra-rich won’t let this one slide as one of their own was publicly murdered, so they won’t stop at anything to ensure the killer’s character is publicly murdered so that anyone who tries to copycat or get ideas can equally be ostracized as an outcast.
Even if they don’t the guy, they’ll still find a guy. The illusion of control must be maintained.
Do you think they’ll let him get in front of a jury or will they kill him before they bring him in?
"I want him dead or guilty!’
They’ll kill him and make it look like he went crazy and turned a gun on them or something and it was their only option.
Or he’ll get Epstein’d.
Or he’ll mysteriously fall from a high balcony.
Even if they catch him and hang him, it doesn’t mean that he didn’t accomplish his goal.
If you’re trying to show your untouchable, revenge won’t prove that.
Taking out another CEO would, tho.
The dude that got shot wasn’t a billionaire, not even close. With a net worth of $54 million he’s just as much of a peasant to them as we are.
He wasn’t a billionaire, but he was filthy sticking rich, and made his money by causing untold stress and harm on other people.
I mean his company was already notoriously evil when he was just a high-ranking executive. But he took the helm, and wanted more money by being crueler than that.
Fine, he was a bad dude, but a millionaire getting shot doesn’t “shatter the illusion that billionaires are untouchable” any more than you or me getting shot would
I think you might be wrong there. How much conversation was happening a week ago about actually killing rich folks? I saw it occasionally here on lemmy in the form of ‘eat the rich.’ Out in my meatspace conversations though? Never. There might have been a grumble once a year, or they might agree with a statement about the elite political and financial class not caring about harm done to anyone else. In the last few days, even my normiest of normal friends has been talking about it, even if not directly. Most of the comments aren’t putting the rich in a positive light either.
This event has sparked a great deal of thought about death and taxes.
Just need to keep calling in with bogus tips. Say we saw him across the country.
I seent him in Bogota! I swears it!
That guy is Spartacus!
Statistically, there were likely 4 more murders in NYC since this one, I’m sure they’re investigating those just as thoroughly.
DUN-DUN!
Cue BD Wong talking about how the assassin was abused as a child by UHC
Or JK Simmons nonchalantly implying that maybe the CEO deserved it, and that makes the killer the most sane of anyone.
He did deserve it though. We also shouldn’t stop at Health Insurance CEOs, we need to make oil company execs fear for their lives for the damage they are doing to the environment.
