Well, I'll be damned! The republicans were right!
All it takes is a good-guy with a gun!
It takes a bit more than that to get away with it though. The police even seem impressed.
If failing to close a murder file impressed the police they'd be in a constant state of amazement. About half of homicides are solved and I'm sure premeditated murder outside of family is much much lower than that. 5 to 10 percent for organized crime/gangs for example.
Yeah, but this is one they want to solve. They don't care if a random person gets shot in the Bronx.
Anyways, what are y'all having for dinner tonight?
Eat the rich?
There is no such thing as ethical consumption under capital ... I stand corrected.

Crab Rangoon
Probably pan-fried fish - I always put out an extra placemat in case I have a visitor I'll be unable to recall any details about in the morning though.

Went out for lunch and ordered WAY too much (I ordered the lunch special which I thought came with one entree, but instead got a lunch special AND an entree) so I'm skipping dinner today.
But lunch was a full serving of goat korma, plus small portions of dal, rice, tandoori chicken, some curry I don't remember, a samosa, rice, and naan. Ate till I was full and took home lots of leftovers.
Coincidentally, that will also be tomorrow's lunch ben😅

Good for him. Hope they never catch him.
Even avoiding airports, he could be on the other end of the country by now.
Isn't there's something where if the police don't find a suspect in the first few days, they probably won't? May not apply when the case has this much attention and the police are motivated.
"The first 48 (hours)" is misleading.
First, it is mostly a function of how much the cops care. If they care about finding someone they will get off their asses. If they don't, they will just procrastinate and ignore it. This is why you have stories of families frantically trying to get any help at all to find their loved one that was written off as "a junkie" or "a slut".
Second, it matters more when you are dependent on grocery store security cameras and the like that might only have 24 hours of capacity anyway. Less so when you are relying on train stations and bus stations that got all that 9-11 money.
Third? The cops likely already have all they need to identify him. He was allegedly tracked to having got on a bus in Atlanta. They have a few photos of his face. And basically everyone is in the DMV databases. That gives a general tri-state area (possibly an outright car if they check long term parking for the period he was away) and they can narrow that down by employment status (taking a few weeks off to go off grid is not something a Starbucks barista is allowed to do) and even UHC records to see who was denied a claim in the past few years (fortunately THAT doesn't narrow shit down at all).
So they can eventually find him. It is inevitable.
That said: This is the cops. The first white guy who looks vaguely like the shooter and who has no alibi will be heroically killed by the cops when they went to ask him questions and he opened fire while screaming "I am the guy who killed the UHC CEO and I feel really really bad about it and only did it because I am woke and hate my life and please forgive me officer but I will never be taken alive. Also I am pro illegal immigrants and am spraying fentanyl around in case any cops piss hot after this.". Also he had a dime bag of weed on him for some reason. Sorry, half a dime bag.
taking a few weeks off to go off grid is not something a Starbucks barista is allowed to do
US is a mad place.

I had to turn off ne2s when they were saying it's now a multi state manhunt and it's important to keep this in the public eye.
I was like good point, let me stop watching.
It would be good for him if they never catch him, but if they do, and he is sentenced to death as would be expected, his last words could greatly magnify the historical impact of his act, as with the anarchist/labor martyrs of the early 20th century.
That is, unless the media deliberately suppress what he actually said and report his last words as “skibidi toilet” or a declaration of undying love for some Jodie Foster analogue or something, thus proving that the shooter was nuts, as anyone who had a grudge against America’s healthcare providers would have to be.
healthcare providers
I know this is indirect speech how they'd spin it, not your own words, but I fucking hate the way these vampires are spun as "providers" - they don't provice jack shit except the rare case of "I provide the wealth to shoulder large financial burdens at once" (but we all know the fine print on that).
The actual providers, on the other hand, have to watch a mother's entire world collapse when she's told her child is gonna die because the treatment isn't affordable and the insurance that made her come all this way to find an in-network doctor in the first place decided the kid should try Yoga or whatever bullshit.

And if they do I hope the courthouse has mobs of protesters larger than has ever been seen.
You know the rich are shitting their pants over this. It's gotta be like a David and Goliath thing for them. It'd be a great time to start a private security company.
I'm sure Academie (or whatever they're calling Blackwater these days) and the Pinkertons are about to see a lot of new business.

It'll fade. Unless...
It happens every three months or so. With escalating difficulty. All they way to being found dead alone in their office. Then slow down to every 18 to 36 months. That's when they'd be scared enough to actually change corporate policies.

It’s gotta be like a David and Goliath thing for them.
This is the bad timeline though. I'm just waiting to hear that this guy was a pro hired by a C-suite rival. Not some hero of the commons.
Good being done for bad reasons is still good
As much as I would totally hate to see the average board room turned into a kindergarten classroom: Not gonna happen. Just expect to see more stories about security guards "roughing people up" and more cops told to bring a spare piece and a dime bag to the site of a self defense shooting when one of the roid fiends unloads on someone for looking at them funny.

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?

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.

"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.
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.
I'll just leave this here.
https://www.nyc.gov/site/nypd/stats/reports-analysis/homicide.page
Statistically, there should have been at least one more murder in the city since then. Looking at victim demographics in that chart and it's pretty obvious why this is getting so much attention...it's very uncommon for a white, non-hispanic person to get murdered in the city.
If you look at this jacket in this picture closely and compare it to the one at the scene of the crime, they don’t match. This is the wrong guy.
CNN and others released the photo and included a disclaimer that these photos weren't official. They literally made it up

They don't care... They just need a person to kill and make this go away..
Meticulous planning, and/or broad public sympathy
It'd be the cherry on top if he left evidence that linked other health insurance CEOs.
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?

I'm glad all those true crime podcasts have finally been put to good use!
Good on him.
Ok. Anyways what do you think of the upcoming football match?
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".
