Is it normal practice for massive companies to announce two days before Thanksgiving that there will be shareholder meeting a week later? Was the Midtown Hilton really available for booking on such short notice during the holiday season?
It’s normal for the public announcement to be late but internally people knew about this for a while, but maybe not all the exact details. Hotel blocks would be arranged at least a month out.
It's definitely possible. There are plenty of unsolved crimes involving murder and stuff like that, but I don't think there's ever been something so brazen like this so its difficult to really make comparisons.
I mean you could easily call up all the hotels and socially engineer to find out where its at. There's literally no way it wasn't booked well in advance - this is a company with like $3-400 billion annual revenue and they do this conference every year, they have high-level investors turning up and its serious fucking money, they're not going to book this late. Maybe they use the same hotel every year or there might've been emails sent out that the press/police aren't aware of.
I can't believe Washington Post actually said "the slaying of one elite by a dirty peasant is as bad as a 9/11." These animals think they are literal gods and I'm glad they're being brought down a peg -- hopefully more than just one. Thompson was a serial killer no different than the criminal filth poisoning the blood of humanity with fentanyl and laced street-pills and I'm glad he's dead.
There's a thread about Special Forces in community watch. Those guys can't even get away with cheating on their wives lmao, no way it's one of them imo.
Are you telling me the guys from the special forces are all exceptional individuals?
Yeah I mean I'll be the first to admit here that I'm not a military/gun/armaments/spec-ops nut and my experience is Splinter Cell and other stealth action games. But having said that, I have followed this story extremely closely all of the way and it is a bizarre story - perhaps it wasn't exactly unexpected that a CEO would get shot like this, but everything surrounding it is very bizarre.
You could be right, but this could literally just be a dude with a 120+ IQ who is motivated and simply good at planning. Years ago I had someone smarter than me break down sequential operations planning for me something like this:
You are overthinking it imo. I guess because not a lot of people have the balls to actually go through with it. If you are methodical, motivated and think ahead, you don't need government tradecraft to pull something like that off. Some research, some planning and the balls to actually go through with it is the key.
Simple as.
Coincidentally, the last time I saw something this crazy was during the North Hollywood shootout back in 1997, or possibly the Necklace Bomb death of Brian Wells in 2003. Both of those started with bank robberies gone wrong, though, and both of them involved the death or eventual capture of everyone involved.
Real talk, if they can't find him soon, they'll pick a random druggie that looks vaguely like him and have a shootout with him. Tragically dies before being captured. There's no way in hell they allow this guy to become some sort of legendary folk hero, a martyr isn't great but it's better than that.
Isn't depose also what they do when you answer a lawyer's / congress's questions? Deposition and all that? Which he was about to do in a few days over some fuckery his company was behind (using an AI to auto-deny/delay insurance requests with a 90% error rate).
It's always funny when there's an underclass of retards who considers themselves part of the elite despite not remotely having the money to qualify. Bezos literally told them to go pound sand on the Kamala endorsement with a single keystroke and they seethed and coped into tomorrow but somehow they're still desperately clinging to the idea of having any societal power.
So what happens if he resurfaces and pulls of another killing? That random druggie you strung up makes you look not only evil but fucking dumb at the same time.
I disagree with this. Wannabe heros don't shoot someone, or at least shoot twice. This dude had an axe to grind, and vengeance drove him instead of justice. The rest might be correct though.
Most OC hits are a few shots in the back then another 3-4 in the head or heart while they're down, it's really rare anyone just gets popped with a single headshot unless they're sat down in the middle of having a sandwich and a chat with the killer.
Oh we're past "nobody cares" and have reached "Ewoks celebrating the destruction of the second death star" level. There's a reason they've triggered every influencer and media outlet to try and social engineer guilt and shame over feeling that way: There's 20 million hunting licenses out there, to say nothing about just handguns and the like. If it becomes culturally acceptable to go open season on CEOs -- or media critters, or gender studies professors, or politicians -- there's jack and shit they can do about it. And it's universal support for this, not just one side going "yeah fuck the rich." Left, right, center, everyone's smiling a bit when they hear this, even if they're not openly cheering it on.
The other possibility is he only matches some of these but was ideologically motivated - i.e. he found the role of health insurance companies in society to be egregious. To me that would explain how he was able to act so rational through the whole thing (some people here disagree with me on that though).
This is what makes our man and this event a little different from similar events in the past.
It is quite clear that he is was motivated by an ideal. I think people get hung up on the hero status, thinking it to mean he wants to be internet famous and start a podcast and do some rug pulls after going viral.
