Crazy how he somehow managed to end up shooting the CEO of one of the largest private investment firms in the world. Definitely not Luigi 2.0.
What was their name?
Her name was Wesley LePatne. She was the CEO of the housing branch of Blackstone.
I see the blue maga conspiracy machine is up and running.
While he never played professionally, so directly blaming them is a little tortured, we should absolutely be open to the idea that this was his genuine surface-level motive, and also that there might be something to it. Almost alone among sports, American football is a very popular activity that relies on constant subconcussive hits to the head in practice and games, starting as early as 8 years old. Repeated subconcussive brain injuries over an extended period of time is exactly what causes CTE. The NFL has been very adept at turning the conversation away from CTE by offering up concussion protocols and treatments, as this "feels" the same to the public and is not without value, but can be addressed without fundamentally changing how the game must be played and practiced, and how the pipeline of young players -- which the NFL gets for free because High School and especially high-level college football are financially self-sustaining -- would develop.
The sufferers can't be properly diagnosed without autopsy, so a former football player might be tempted to blame any issues he has on it, but symptoms include depression, paranoia, early cognitive decline, and drastic personality changes. Several prominent players, including a couple of legends in the NFL world, have committed suicide by writing a note asking for an autopsy and then shooting themselves in the chest. The infamous Chris Benoit case may have involved CTE as well.
The target was the Blackstone CEO and the NFL is the headline they're using to cover up this fact; you've been mislead by your news sources and need to find other sources
What's the source on her being the target?
You've been watching too many movies.
The NFL reports came out right after the shooting.
He shot himself in the chest because he wanted his brain studied.
No way could anyone put together a conspiracy like this that quickly.
Moreover, being targeted by a conspiracy would be a Godsend for private military contractors. Trump and the GOP would fall all over themselves allowing them special rights and privileges, and they'd be investigating everyone who'd ever complained about income inequality
"No way could anyone put together a conspiracy like this that quickly."
The CIA did when Kennedy got shot by his own security guards by mistake. So yeah, totally possible.
Never heard of chatgpt?
Gonna have to back that up with some evidence.
"Study my brain. I'm sorry," Tisch quoted Tamura as having written in the note. The commissioner noted that Tamura had fatally shot himself in the chest.
Didn't shoot himself in the head to preserve the brain. Reminds me of the "Texas Tower Shooter" Charles Whitman.
In his note, Whitman went on to request an autopsy be performed on his remains after he was dead to determine if there had been a biological cause for his actions and for his continuing and increasingly intense headaches.
During the autopsy, Dr. Chenar reported that he discovered a pecan-sized brain tumor, above the red nucleus, in the white matter below the gray center thalamus, which he identified as an astrocytoma with slight necrosis.
I've heard a neuroscientist talk about this and conclude that this tumor could very well have been the cause for his behavior.
Whitman’s is such a sad story. I wonder if this will turn out to be similarly awful.
Honestly I'm not condoning this, but I'm surprised it took so long to happen. The football industry damages so many brains, many of which are severely damaged without even making it to the NFL purely in the hopes of making it big.
Tackle football is also grossly unethical to be facilitated by educational institutions with modern knowledge of its effects.
It is not a "disease". It is a damage. Like a broken leg, which nobody would call a "disease".
