Just seems a little too flashy and theatrical like its from a movie or TV Show. Especially given how careful the perpetrator seems to be in planning this and escaping. Why give the authorities a clue to your motive or more evidence against you when you spend all this time using cash only and fake IDs to cover your tracks?
To me it seems perfectly logical in terms of this murder (assuming it was a vigilante sending a message to the health industry/corporations) .
If were a sane person with nothing to lose, and decided to murder someone to send a message and make it an act of revenge, I'd have to consider being caught and imprisoned. But it doesn't mean that I wouldn't do everything in my power not to get caught. I read about people planning and committing crimes and most of the time they are planned out and executed carelessly, that's why perpetrators get caught. Him seemingly doing both makes perfect sense to me.
The investor meeting was happening at that hotel at the time and the shooter may have just decided to hit the first obvious VIP he saw coming out of a limo and walking to the venue. Maybe there were valets carrying umbrellas with the United logo or something to give added confirmation of who was there for the UHC event.
See people are saying things like that not realizing that's not how it goes.
First of all, most of these people, including CEOs are not arriving in limos. This is NYC, many of them will grab a cab, or walk from a nearby hotel. There are no vallets in NYC hotels, and definitely no hotel employees will be standing out with the umbrellas. There are hundreds of conferences taking place any given day in NYC hotels and none of them is anything close to the Oscar gala people here seem to think.
Furthermore, the talk about security - executives don't have security. Maybe if you're Elon Musk , but the average C suite of a corporation is just a regular looking dude that drives his own car, or takes a train if it's faster. Sure they make a lot of money but they're not gonna spend it on limos and securities, these things are for celebrities or politicians and are crazy expensive.
The reason the evil C suites are shitting their pants now is because they always had comfort of being rich, evil and anonymous without having to worry about anyone targeting them. They had no fans and they had no enemies. And suddenly that shell has cracked.
