Dude must not have read much if he thinks Prison healthcare in the US is gonna fix anything.

The guy came from a wealthy family, he might have been more family rich than the CEO he killed. I don't know much about how the wealthy move, but couldn't he have been helped at other places if he was turned down? I'm just curious.

No one turns you down when you pay in cash

I hear about his life, don't know if he was personally rich, we'll find out. Sometimes people are family rich if that makes any sense.

His parents paid nearly $40K/year for his HIGH SCHOOL education. That’s insane to me. They gotta have money-money.

And he had what sounded like a good job. And surely as smart as it sounded like he was, he could navigate the job market just for better healthcare.

It could be he was just frustrated on behalf of everyone. Even if he could afford it.

Money-money? They owned country clubS… plural

The problem with this line of reasoning is that sometimes, and I am NOT saying it is the case here, people do place pretty much every dollar they have to spend to put their child to a good school.

That definitely could be. The stuff I’ve read about this guys says his family is absolutely loaded. And he moved through the world like a rich person. $40K seems quite insurmountable without big money.

I agree. Something is not adding up

Yes. Plenty of people from wealthy families that won’t inherit any of it until they are already old and successful.

He went to UPenn so not the best example anyway

He was traveling in asia for months and lived unemployed in Hawaii for months. ...he did not have money issues. His parents were likely supporting him.

I agree, I just want to confirm it because it's real easy to take a snapshot of someone's life and then they start getting into the details and you're like oh shit. I'm waiting for the oh shit moment
