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

[Uber driver reviewer]

It's very possible. I haven't watched this video so I don't know if he goes over it; I'm fairly certain the shooter knows the pistol jams or is used to clearing jams. He doesn't act surprised when it jams. What strikes me is the way he uses the pistol and clears the jam is very firing range. He's almost certainly test fired this gun and he either taught himself or some boomer taught him the rear pinch and that tilted wrist up to look at that ejection port area. In the military, we don't teach or see very many people clear jams or shoot in this style.
Not saying he isn't military, he may be, but the pistol was certainly not apart of his military training.

These are the things that stuck out to me in the video.

He also shot the exec in the pelvis.

IMO he did that because if the exec was wearing soft Kevlar fabric armor (expected for a suitmonkey receiving threats) would stop 9mm, or take enough energy out of them to reduce lethality.

Shooting someone in the pelvic girdle = no body armor there.

They teach this in law enforcement for bodyguard type roles such as secret service or just general executive protection detail. Also, similarly this is practiced in close quarters where someone is barricaded and likely armored up. Shooting someone in the dick always takes the fight out of them and they will likely die with major arteries and spine there.


There were three shots fired imo. The first was aimed at the pelvic girdle and missed and hit the thigh because Brian moved. The second hit the pelvic fields as expected, taking him down. The third was the anchor shot to end him. Then he dropped the spaghetti out of his pockets with 3 engraved unfired rounds comprising his eloquent manifesto.

I also agree with gunhavers posting here. The guy handled the gun with a lot of nuance you only get with A LOT of range time. He anticipates failures and adapts without having any hesitation, knows what is beyond his target, and has the stance and distance down exactly where he would need it. His grip and stance are ace. To be clear ther don’t teach this in the military (handguns are not really their thing). This guy is very familiar with using handguns.

I would have activated VATS, target head and use a sick throwing dagger for ultimate stealth. Your study is flawed.

BREAKING NEWS / general update

They fell for the BT9 meme no fucking way. They are about to harass some nigga who literally has nothing to do with it.

The BT9 cycles with a bolt mechanism, and the footage clearly shows the shooter cycling the gun by putting his hand on top of it to rack the slide. It literally CANNOT be a BT9. What a fucking joke of a investigation.

It's very possible. I haven't watched this video so I don't know if he goes over it; I'm fairly certain the shooter knows the pistol jams or is used to clearing jams. He doesn't act surprised when it jams.

Adding a silencer to most pistols means they will fail to cycle as it makes the barrel too heavy for the springs or bolts or whatever mechanism they use. Legal supressors would normally also some with a extra spring to boost the power and ensure cycling, but if this is a home job then he wouldn't have that. Shooter was obviously smart so he knew this, test fired a bunch of times and knew that failures to cycle were guaranteed so he just took that into account and did it himself.

Only amongst terminally online people. Normies think that murder is bad no matter what.

50k plus fagbook boomers would beg to differ.

Has he been ID'd?

Police now suspect the Atlanta connection is a feint and the man is actually from Boston.

He also shot the exec in the pelvis.

IMO he did that because if the exec was wearing soft Kevlar fabric armor (expected for a suitmonkey receiving threats) would stop 9mm, or take enough energy out of them to reduce lethality.

Shooting someone in the pelvic girdle = no body armor there.

Shooting someone on the pelvis/thighs is also ridiculously dangerous. It's why only nogunz and complete retards think that aiming for the legs is somehow "less lethal" shooting. Hit someone on the femoral artery in the thigh and they will bleed to death faster than if you had shot them on the chest.

Only people who think this is a good thing are brainwashed leftists.

I'm hesitant to cheer on a literal assassination. How everyone responded to Trump's assassination set a precedent of how we're supposed to emotionally respond to events like this -- "what the fuck? why are you cheering this on? what the hell is wrong with you?"

However, looking at how UnitedHealthcare runs its operations, I'm backpedaling a bit. This guy had a hand in fucking up countless lives and shafting people at their most vulnerable for profit and to keep investors happy. The people running this company were so cushioned against the impact of their decisions that they forgot that their business decisions had material impacts of people's lives, and someone reminded them that they're not invincible. Someone reminded them that someone can reach out and touch them.

I hate to say it, but this guy had it coming. He was a sacrificial lamb for the message, "you're not untouchable."

 

[Space Faring Marsupial]

You know. Jokes aside. Healthcare is so fucked in America. People are cheering and making art and selling t-shirts of this man. And not niche internet communities. Like actual fucking normies. Everybody has had themselves or known somebody that was fucked by the disgusting insurance companies in America. It's so fucking bad. I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner.

I just look to China and accept that people put up with a lot of shit. Not sure what kind of glowing storm will come of this. I wouldn't be surprised if the powers that be got every last one of them.

"Normies" are, if anything, celebrating even more than people online. I'm sure my other medfags can validate that colleagues are universally and particularly jubilant - some joking about throwing parties and one delivering the news when it happened with "Want to hear something awesome?" Patients are happily and voluntarily bringing it up in clinical encounters, too.

Clinicians want to deliver the care their patients need. They don't appreciate (read: fucking despise) when c-suite leeches prevent or delay that care so they can deliver profits to other leeches. Fuck this guy, and may the other leeches in equivalent positions be spending their holiday season in pants-shitting fear.

a majority of the bitcoins in circulation are in the hands of exchanges and in the hands of investment banks like blackrock. the fact that its not worth it based on fees to even buy $1 of it means a lot fewer people are able or willing to buy it, and most non-bitcoin crypto is some flavor of scam, where groups use it to basically steal money from ignorant normies like we saw with Boogie.

the people becoming billionaires off crypto aren't some autistic dudes from 2011 but some scam artist running a con while spamming their coin all over social media and 4chan.

the main reason bitcoin was even seen as a good option was because of it being "dark money" but thats slowly starting to not be true either

It's too difficult to know who the largest functional holders of Bitcoin are. Exchanges would be one of the major ones though but it is like 15 years old now, so many have been lost, many have never moved and many have been stolen and moved so much that its impossible to tell. It is also computationally trivial to create thousands of addresses in seconds and for unknown parties to actually have control of significant amounts of BTC that are impossible to identify or correlate.

I'm not going to get into economics and the value of owning a dollars worth because this really isn't the place - there were huge debates/wars over blocksize and scaling that happened. That isn't why it exists or what problem it solves.

I do agree with you that its full of scammers and the majority of people getting rich are scammers, but there are a lot of normal people who are starting to hold it via exchanges as a form of investment/hedging their bets.

But the bigger point is that it isn't controlled by bankers or the government - of course blackrock and bankers are trying to get hip to it and wedge their greedy little hands into it, but they are not only late but the space is so wide and continuously changing that its impossible for any single party at this point to have any major control over it (there is of course significant coordination in some areas though).

We are still very much in the infancy of what cryptocurrency will bring to the world (for better or worse). Experiments are only just starting now with AI agents and some other things.

More importantly and pertinent to this particular thread/event: if you understand the origins and context of cryptocurrency (and also AI) you will be aware that things are a bit bigger than "autistic dudes and scam artists": https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.805/articles/crypto/cypherpunks/may-crypto-manifesto.html

It's been 3 days now. Much like radioactive material, these sorts of things have a half-life which halves their strenght. All they have on this dude is a few grainy stills which might not even be from the killer and nothing else.

His chances to get away with it are looking very good. He is likely back home way outside of NYC and chilling.

The moment he got to Central Park sealed the deal to be honest. They're not going to find him or it's going to be months before they even know who it is. Would not be surprised if the NYPD tags it on some random.

 

[pot of sneed]

I just look to China and accept that people put up with a lot of shit. Not sure what kind of glowing storm will come of this. I wouldn't be surprised if the powers that be got every last one of them.

The majority of chinese are bugmen who underwent some incredibly hellish circumstances not all that long ago in the grand scheme of things. Mao's 'Great Leap Forward' caused unfathomable damage to China's history, culture and even gender demographics due to the 'one child policy' that only recently got abolished. There are millions of surplus men who will never find a wife because so many baby girls got aborted or killed off at birth whereas the lucky ones were adopted overseas. America never went through anything even 1/10th as bad as what China has gone through and the people demand to be treated as such - people with things called human rights, and history has shown that White people in particular get very, very fucking angry when they're treated as less than for too long.

 

[National Tragedy]

As much as I would love for this dude to get away, I think the chances of that are very slim. Unless they completely bungled the evidence collection, they no doubt have some sort of trace DNA from the guy. Once they run that against known databases all it takes is someone in his distant family to have done genealogical testing at some point or even a distant relative with a felony that required DNA submission. Apparently anything closer than a 4th cousin is a slam dunk.

I hope I am wrong though.

 

[Lady Adjani]

I know fuckall about guns, but I just don't imagine someone so highly trained to the point where he takes into account the possibility of the target wearing body armor and intentionally aiming around it, to fuck up his silencer setup, requiring him to manually rack every single shot.

 

[JaneThough]

I hope he's next.

So does his dad

I don't want to power level too much. I have buddies in law enforcement. I work a lot with the prison system. Blah blah. Not relevant. But let me tell you. I believe you. Even the fucking cops in my bumfuck nowhere town that I'm friends with are even bragging on this dude and pretty much clapping. I can't think of one person I know that is sane who isn't saying he had it coming.

Mind you there might be a lot of "well.. I don't condone murder" but it's always followed up with a BUT (lol) "I don't condone murder but that fucker had it coming" is pretty much the sum of it from even my most hard-core cop or cop supporting friends lmao I can't even imagine how doctors and medical staff are celebrating

That could've been intentional to make the shots even quieter.

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

At this point they might as well just go after every white dude in NYC and hope for a match. My problem is that there's no way in hell this guy gets convicted. its like Bernie Goetz, at best he'll be fucked on the gun charge but he'll be a hero. This is a literal Joker moment. a guy killed a man who "got what he fucking deserved" and outside of the other rich no one is shitting on him. it would be impossible to convict the guy

Would not be surprised if the NYPD tags it on some random.

thats what i would do if i was the NYPD, might as well. of course, the cops probably aren't looking too hard for this guy. if i were a precinct captain i'd pick the laziest, stupidest, most understanding of what this means style detectives to track it down. the types of guys that the police would chose to handle mafia crimes. "oh you have the name and address of the guy who killed him, sure we'll be right over on November 31st"

You guys can only afford your socialist healthcare because we pay for NATO. Once that ends -- and it will end, thanks to China and various Marxist shitheads from Europe eating away at us -- I hope you're ready for the end of history ending and half your continent exploding into treats. And warfare.

Pro-tip: All the pet feral brown people you've imported (cause Israel threatened to call you bad names if you refused) will become warlords the second you stop paying them to not be feral and brown.

Don't be antisemitic lol.

Our healthcare has nothing to do with nato. We pay it ourselves.
It's just cheaper, because we don't have whatever you have.
