UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot outside Hilton hotel in Midtown in targeted attack: cops - Just Part and Parcel of visiting a Big City

Why do people think this was a professional anyway? It was obviously pretty meticulous but I don't think hitmen even allow the possibility of their guns jamming twice during the hit. He got the job done, sure, but if he was a 'professional professional' wouldn't he have had some kind of super badass custom worked piece done for him that was reliable but still easy to throw away? It's plausible he got scammed or something in that scenario, but I dunno, he really looks like a lucky goober to me in the video.

In any case, God Bless America and this goober.

I lost a close member of my family last week. She had cancer. A few months ago, she was in the hospital for chemotherapy when her health insurance suddenly refused to pay anything more. She was literally evicted from the hospital on the orders of the insurance company because some tin-badge-having motherfucker decided that she was going to die anyway and further intervention was a waste of money. It was especially devastating because they had initially approved the chemo only to play taksie-backsies once it had already begun. The blow to her morale was significant.

She died horribly, thanks for asking.

I can 100% believe a grieving husband or father would take out a hit on the man he considers responsible for the death of his wife or child.

“There had been some threats,” she said, according to NBC. “Basically, I don’t know, a lack of coverage? I don’t know details. I just know that he said there were some people that had been threatening him.”

Just FYI, they recovered three expended 9mm shell casings, and three live 9mm rounds at the scene.

So the weapon is not a Ruger Mark IV, or anything chambered in .22 LR. I dunno where that came from.

Peoples assumption because of the size of the suppressor. Those Ruger .22s can have built in suppressors that look like that.

My guess is it's one of those maglite based homemade jobs just bases on its physical size. Would also explain the lack of a booster causing it not to cycle.

Nonsense. The people who are that close to this sort of business aren't capable of emotion.

False, Sociopath's and narcissists do express emotion when the negative event directly impacts them. I'm sure the attendee's crying were a mix of staff members hoping all the sucking up they've done to the CEO would pay off, and the other half being the secretary's who hoped all the literal sucking off they were doing would eventually pay off as well.

Yeah I mean a lot of people are calling it a professional hit, but I can definitely see that if someone lost someone special to them as a result of this company then they could be cold/meticulous enough to do it and also not get caught.

I don't think it was "professional hit." I think it was a hit by somebody we could term "competent enough." Not a pro. Not a complete idiot.

Yes, he cleared the jams well enough, but that shouldn't have even happened if he was a actual pro. He used the wrong ammo, or no booster, or something like that.

For some reason it brings up memories of that one dude who shot the guy who molested his daughter or some shit in broad daylight.

I mentioned Gary Plauché in the thread earlier. In that case it was his son that was molested though. There have been probably similar incidents though. It's just the most well known one.

Alright. So his pistol was jamming the fuck up from the silencer. Explains a lot tbh.

Hey now leave our alcohol and tobacco friends alone. They deliver on what they are selling and are upfront that that stuff is bad for you (but at least makes you feel good. You engage with them willingly. This guy was running a theft operation that led to people dying. People that had little choice but to buy this shitty product.

Also, I’d like to remind everyone that the entire Arab Spring started because some dune coon set himself on fire because of unfair treatment by those in power. Could get interesting?

It's more professional in the sense that it's not your typical hoodling having a nigga moment on the sidewalk. This perpetrator at least got an escape plan going after the hit and hit the target despite his pistol jamming on every shot because it wasn't adjusted properly for silencer use.
Edit: Also, I would laugh if the goober didn't file off the serial numbers on the gun if he discarded it.
