Who?

Whatever, when healthcare company CEOs drive insured people by their employees into so much desperation it's totally understandable that hatred evolves. He probably got what he deserved.

I'm, not in the US but actually, a private healthcare company in my native country ruined my life.

couldn't give less of a shit

And nothing of value was lost.

The US healthcare system ruined my life. United Healthcare denied an MRI I needed, and now I have to have a cane to walk. I used to be able to surf.

It's all very eery. The location and the time, just out in the open like that. Wonder if this is the calm before the storm... "Deny, defend, depose" on the shell casings; someone start the murderpedia. We saw his eyes and nose pretty clearly; doesn't seem like a very smooth hit if it was a paid job. Seems clumsy. Eery either way.

Rip bozo! i'm not even american but i know how much it sucks over there so im cheering on yalls behalf

Apparently that is the 9th most profitable company in the world, so it's definitely evil. I'm assuming the person was just as bad if they were profiting so much in the catastrophic health industry. They don't care about suicidal people, so they won't be cared about when they die too.

Another rich guy down!

 

[EvisceratedJester]

RIP Evil Health Insurance Rich Man.
You will be remembered, but probably not missed.

In honour of your legacy, I shall close this post by serenading you with a song. I encourage everyone here to listen to it and to think of this man whenever you hear your local soccer mom blasting this beautiful tune from her minivan.

If americans shot more healthcare ceos and fewer classmates I'd join the NRA

 

[kitkat9234]

I wish someone would just kill me like that.

 

[yellowsouled]

I don't feel bad. Have had a lot of relatives and coworkers denied 100% necessary medical procedures because of insurance companies (including this one in particular, which is especially bad if you look at stats) — and lots of people in the US have stories like this. The shell casings just prove it's related.

I hope it's that start of a class war but he was probably just a hitman cause nothing ever happens

uh-merican here. glad to have you in our corner!

It's interesting to see how many people support this assassination. It shows people's frustration and nervousness a bit.
I'm also curious how many people will want to be inspired by this man and will also try to kill some influential people.

It's worth adding that many people from different political divisions support this assassination. In a way, it shows conscious/subconscious class unity.

 

[noname223]

They have the killer. I am curious to learn about his story. He is looking quite attractive.

Nah I don't buy that this is the killer. Everything about how they caught him makes no sense and all of the details about him are seeming WAY too convenient like they all align with how you'd expect a person like this to be but a little too perfectly. IMO this guy they caught is doing it for attention or to allow law enforcement to be thrown off from finding the real killer.

It makes sense for someone who wanted to get caught. Have you seen/read the information coming out on this guy from his socials?

I have and that's why I think it's a little too convenient. If the actual guy was like this he probably would have been caught much sooner and far more easily. I think this guy might just happen to resemble the iconic picture and is capitalizing on the clout of someone else.

I really don't think prison is going to be good for this guy. Looks a top candidate for mass rape. He must have known that when he did it too. Strange call.

Maybe he doesn't intend on being around very much longer. Seems like he's already been through a lot at 26.

No way, not unless the shooter found his doppelganger ahead of time and dude agreed to go down for the crime lol

It's also possible that the police/investigators are actually the ones who scoured the internet to try to find the most plausible fall guy and since this is an ongoing investigation it's also possible that this guy could be willingly taking the fall for the attention/credit/ability to allow the real guy to go unpunished.

Lol I wish. I was hoping this case would be dragged out and stall towards an impasse or else end up with some drama that wasn't cringe. Am afraid it's the latter though. Knew this murder was clumsy but didn't think it'd be that clumsy in that it would turn out to be a callow babyface! Think it's just harder to digest that this dude is actually that gauche than to believe it's a guy riding fame from arrogating a crime for unknown reason lol.
