That doesn't mean much, it takes two seconds to teach a person how to fix most gun jams.
We can only guess. Glad the election season is over. Otherwise we would see a lot of angry people jumping up and down on Fox News yelling all sorts of anti immigration slurs.
Wouldn't it be nice if the Oligarchs, when deciding to screw over the little guy again and again in the chase for ever more wealth, feared for their safety and the safety of theirs?
For years, the 2A freaks have talked about the government needing to be afraid of them while never seeming to notice that it's been the Oligarchs, like the wizard behind the curtain, pulling all of the levers screwing them.
It's not the government, it's not the wholly owned politicians, IT'S THE OLIGARCHS who are destroying the country and the world, but they're very good at misdirection and pitting us against each other.
They should rightfully fear the populations whose lives they ruin.
Correct, the servants-turned-oligarchs in D.C. should fear for their safety. They give people no ability to "opt out" and kill or imprison dissenters.
Contrast that with private businesses, who, by virtue of their existence, are a social good in ALL cases. As opposed to the government (force people against their will to do xyz), a private business is by necessity heroic (people freely choose to engage with them).
Insurance is no different, though the industry has been captured by Obamacare and other govt strangleholds. And even with those government programs leading to poverty and death, the CEOs of such companies STILL are a huge net benefactor of society
You wrote all that and didn't even watched the video. It's pretty clear this guy is not a pro.
The guy is totally calm and collected the entire time. He hits Thompson in the back and then starts walking slowly towards Thompson to finish him off. You can see that the gun jams, but this guy calmly clears the jam and is able to continue firing. You have to have either police or military training and experience to be able to hold it together while shooting someone in public like that.
This. It would be an EXTREMELY rare 'regular' person who could calmly commit premeditated murder, in public, recover from a gun jam, continue firing, all without betraying any observable sign of panic or distress, and then execute a (so far) very clean getaway, again, after having just committed a public murder of a Fortune 500 CEO.
I'd bet everything I own this was not the shooter's first rodeo.

We're not talking about fixing a gun jam at a shooting range in a safe environment, we're talking about the pressure of doing it while committing an assassination-style killing in a busy city in broad daylight. Not remotely the same scenario.
Yes yes, you got me, attaboy champ! "In public", not "broad daylight", feel better now? And I am a gun owner, and I know how to clean a jam. The point, which you've (not shockingly) missed utterly, is there is a big difference between clearing a jam in a safe stress free environment, and doing it while betraying no visible stress or panic WHILE COMMITTING A F***ING EXECUTION, IN PUBLIC. F*cking dunce.
My guess is someone with Tier 1 history and knows how to get stuff done. Likely was screwed by the company and it affected a loved one.
True professionals know which ammunition in which firearm with which silencer performs best. Or was there a temperature variant affecting the firearm as it was stashed someplace before.
What is clear is that there was a well thought out and well executed plan. It takes discipline to do this.
Tragic for the CEO and his family. He did not deserve to die like that, but Insurance companies are the devil. They are evil entities that screw patients, physicians and entire health populations for pure profit. They do not care, they take, take and take.
1. As assassin which was hired because of his insider trading. In other words, someone hired an assassin to take him out because he was about to squeal on them. This guy makes 10 million/year, why is he doing insider trading?
2. His wife hired an assassin to take him out.
3. Someone shot him b/c he was denied healthcare (or his family member was).
4. Someone shot him as a political statement, like he views the CEO as the symbol of what's wrong with the system.
5. Lastly - and this is a little far-fetched, but this has happened before - the United CEO hired a hitman himself. The reason he would do this - he's facing lawsuits, and possibly would get convicted for insider trading - so he wants to end it all and make it look like a homicide. That way his family still gets the insurance money.
The weirdest part is that the hitman only waited 5 mins. Like, how did he know that he was going to be walking across just then?
10 million a year is really not that much. It’s enough to not worry about basic things like cars, boats, 1st Class, house, vacation house. But you can get overextended very quickly if trying to keep up with the CEO joneses.
Ok. I know it’s a lot, but it’s about perspective.
Did he exercise at one of these clubs and was angry that his free or discounted membership was coming to an end ?
"Starting Jan. 1, 2025, Orangetheory Fitness, The Exercise Coach and Xponential Fitness brands including Club Pilates, CycleBar, StretchLab, Rumble, Pure Barre and YogaSix will no longer be in the Renew Active fitness network."
I find it disturbing that there is all this attention to this murder, yet there are about 45 homocides by guns every day in the US. And those get no attention.
Is this guys life worth more than that of a child's? Or a father or mother of 3? Or of your neighbor's? Or anyone's?
Not to detract from the tragedy of this homocide, but he is no different than these other tragedies, which don't get even a passing nod.
We should be doing something about this, for everyone. And we know what that would be.
United Heathcare rejects something like 32% of filed claims, far more than almost all of the other major insurers, which as an industry averages a 16% rejection rate.
So yeah, it's a leading edge company that specializes in making money by seeking ways to not cover patients' medical needs. One could call it blood money.
This is the way of the Oligarchy. If the Oligarchy hasn't hurt you, it just hasn't hurt you yet.
Yea I’m sure this wasn’t a hit by a disgruntled patient, but it feels good to pretend it was

Shouldn't there be a sixth? Husband / ex-partner of a lover. The CEO was living in a separate house from his wife - like a few homes down. What was going on in his sex life?
