UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson assassinated
- Thread starter EviLore
- Start date
Huh, wonder how this guy was able to locate and pinpoint the CEO if he's just "a dude". Maybe my tinfoil hat is a little crooked but this all feels veeeeery fishy.
If this had been a target of opportunity with a non-specialized weapon then I'd chalk it up to chance. But is it possible to have found the CEO just based on public information and surveillance? Wonder if there is gonna end up being an inside source somewhere this guy was using off discord or whatever.

Like other crazy people, now you know why some governments around the world ban or censor books or literature. When you got free access to anything in a country like the US, you'll get your share of crazies amped up reading this stuff and then go copycatting.
Do I get free money from the state if I like your post? Just asking 'cause I'm broke.

I'm totally for banning some books or TV content (or whatever the media format is).
Why would anyone want to read about terrorist stuff, child porn, snuff videos and other heinous stuff? You might like it, but some stuff is in bad taste for people. Just because it happens in the world doesn't mean people should all have access to it.

love ya, but I'm taking back the brain I gave ya. I did that before you edited in the part about banning books and now you're doubling down on that. I can't be associated with such takes.Absolutely insane times we're living in.

There's a difference between clearly illegal stuff and things you don't like, theories and studies into other political/social areas. If you're FOR banning books on things like Socialism, etc, then it's just a slippery slope, how far would you take it? For example I know YOU would probably go and ban books about Unions and Workers Rights

Bruh.. didn't he hold him in a 6 minute chokehold? That's murder, not justice...

All it takes is something lucky and coincidence like he knows someone who works at United and he told him the CEO is staying in NY at a conference.
Can happen all the time really. My peers and I who all now work for different companies know about each other's offsite annual company meetings because we tell each other where were staying (city and hotel). Its just fun chit chat stuff to know where the spot is this year.

When did I say ban social/political stuff? I even stated some extreme examples as the kind if stuff I think should be banned. As for the stuff he like such as Unibomber stuff, who knows. Maybe his writings have content in there about building bombs and how to evade police for decades. That's the kind of weird shit I wouldnt like in public.There's a difference between clearly illegal stuff and things you don't like, theories and studies into other political/social areas.

As for unions, no need for a ban. The members are all nappng at work anyway.

Yea man, and if he held him in a chokehold for 1 min and accidently killed him, there would be no controversy. I didn't follow the case ,but if it's true he held him in chokehold for 6 min, that's an execution no?

Caught at a McDonalds
Manifesto, fake ID AND the weapon on him...
These people always get caught doing the absolute dumbest shit. They get lazy, overly confident, whatever. Whether its McVeigh signing his real name at the motel where he stayed at, Peterson not being able to get his story straight and acting too distant, or the Son of Sam getting too many parking tickets they always, always fuck up

You unfortunately just have to accept that things like this always have the possibility of happening unless you want to live in a complete authoritarian police state.

The guy meticulously planned this murder. Enough to potentially 3D print a guy, conceal his face, take a bike to avoid car identification, use a fake ID, use a silencer, etc.
Yet he decided to stop at a McDonald's to hang out with his face broadcasted on every news site and channel in the country.
Most criminals are not the brightest, even the ones on the higher end of intelligence.

I think in this case, he wasnt that serious about being on the run forever. Run enough, get caught and then brag on TV with a smiling mugshot when hes arrested.Caught at a McDonalds

He'll probably do some smirking Shkreli pics.

Bro got caught with fake ID at McDonalds with the murder weapon on him, WHAT ?!
Also why would one need an ID at McDonalds
Like, shave your head and eyebrows and just sleep under a bridge for a few weeks

Yeah the amount of support this guy is going to receive will be pretty fucking disgusting
He'll cruise through his prison term no doubt about it with endless gifts, letters and props. You think inmates will give a fuck about a young dude who capped a healthcare CEO? Negative.
Too bad there's no death penalty in NY.

Another channel said it makes sense its a ghost gun as it seemed to jam. So these homemade guns arent perfect, but seem to do the job good enough.

I knew it was some lone wolf crap from the start (reminded me of Shinzo Abe assassination). The 3d printed gun seems so obvious in hindsight with the crappy cycling of the gun.
Lucky for him that he did this is New York considering the retarded fanclub that seems to be building around assassinations he has a realistic chance at a hung jury.

Interesting stuff. Good that they caught him. I’m disturbed how the other site is all “snitch” this and “rat” that. Wtf is wrong with these people. Yes the US health system needs fixing, but not with vigilantes shooting people in the streets like dogs. Bunch of psychos.

Yes, but nowhere did it say where he was staying and at what time he will be coming down for the meeting.

And? Guy could have tried to find him a couple of times and failed.
It’s really not that hard to find a major CEO with a modicum of effort. They are public figures.
The guy was shot walking towards the hotel where the conference was…. In the morning, when everyone would be showing up.

People are really onto this… I won‘t post here for obvious reasons but I‘ve seen this guy cropped into an Assassins Creed cover. The pic broke me.
