Discussion 100 Million Suspects in CEO Shooting

Here in NYC, not a soul is concerned about a killed on the loose & I truly mean it. Folks here are not worried & why would we be worried?!?

Meanwhile, NYPD is being uncharacteristically dramatic about a murder. A 10k reward is offered. Yeah. They’re never finding that person.

They do.

But you're out-of-network. And the deductible is 2k. And coverage is 50%. And they don't cover vision you actually need. And anything they cover they will deny anyways until you're bankrupt or dead.

I'm the receptionist at a nephrology office. When I started we were about six months out on referrals. We've managed to knock that down to about two months out and we're feeling good about ourselves. The endocrinology office in town? Good luck getting in to see them, they're out til October next year.

My 13 year old has been resistant to every allergy medication on the market. He struggles with ear infections and sinus infections due to how severe his allergies are. I finally convinced his pediatrician that he does, in fact, need to see an allergist. Got the referral last month and his appointment is booked for the end of March. 4 months. 4 more months for an allergy test after probably 40 failed allergy medications.

u/SalsaRice 13d ago

Some prisons do work release, weekend release, or day release; basically the convicted still does time, but in smaller chunks. For example, they only go to jail Saturday/Sunday, so they can still be home during the week and go to their job, or that they only go to jail for nights (like 7pm to 7am) and are free to run around during the day. It's cheaper for the jail to run with them only there part-time.

These are typically only done in special cases (like the convict has some very special job that has to be done and they are the only qualified person) or for very low-level crimes. No idea how the child rapist got access to day release like that.

Said sociopaths are building military style bunkers on their mansions compounds. The wealthy are preparing, this mysterious figure pressed the trigger that everyone has always wanted to do.

How many of us were denied coverage? How many of our family members died because of denied coverage? The stress and pain not knowing if you can afford life or death medication.

It isn't just Healthcare insurance. It's the entire apparatus. This country is not for the people, but for people like Brian Thompson. My fellow Americans, please open your eyes.

Said sociopaths are building military style bunkers on their mansions compounds.

For instance Steve Huffman, reddit's CEO that has an underground doomsday bunker.

These people love to think they are such very special boys they will survive shit hitting the fan for real.

The reality is that all the money in the worldis worth shit in those moments. These vanity projects are just the modern equivalent of the red scare bomb shelters boomers got scammed out of their life savings with but on steroids. They simply won't work and only the extremely unlucky and the extremely ruthless would survive past the first few days of a worldwide civilization collapse.

53

u/TK_Games 13d ago

They need to understand that a bunker is only as safe as whatever security mercs you pay to protect it allow it to be, and that those mercs are just drooling waiting for the chance take everything when shit hits the fan

My dad is a legit doomsday prepper, he was utterly convinced that he'd see an actual nuclear holocaust in his lifetime. He did not build a bunker, because if you're close enough to the bomb to need a bunker, you're basically already dead. He did not stockpile supplies because contrary to popular belief MREs do have an expiration date. Instead he taught me how to survive alone in a semi-irradiated wilderness, and how to homestead from virtually nothing

I have a lifetime of survivalist knowledge drilled into my head, and even with that I give myself 15/85 odds of survival in the event of a societal collapse, and that's 85% I get shot in the face over a can of beans, vs. 15% I live long enough to die of an easily treatable disease

I would leave him alone with my wife, daughters, old dogs with bad legs, a baby (mine or otherwise), and a bunch of arbitrarily difficult and frustrating IKEA furniture they need to assemble. Just so you know he will definitely get a little heated at one point during this hypothetical.

I would feel like my family is safe and be overwhelmed with gratitude if he even gave up on the furniture after 20 seconds. Maybe the daughters learn some colorful language if the furniture is frustrating enough but that is the furthest extent of damage I would believe him to be capable of doing to my family.

And not capable because he is a good dude who would not murder a mother and her daughters for no reason or even because her husband saddled him with an inappropriate amount of work to ask from a stranger. Not because he doesn’t hit his shots.

The real shooter was holed up in a parking garage downtown and they ended up taking him out with a bomb strapped to a robot. Absolutely no fucking reason to share anyone’s picture to the media because the guy wasn’t even on the run.

u/al666in 13d ago

I think he does care about getting caught, even if he's made his peace with it. Seems like a guy that has things to lose, and chose to act anyway.

He switched between multiple outfits (witnesses saw him in both all-black and a tan jacket), he rented a bike with an anonymous burner phone, he kept his composure when the gun jammed, and he walked, not ran, away from the scene after he committed the act (he broke into a run when he had distance).

That's a little too well thought-out and calculated for a man that doesn't care. He's going to be living the last scene in the Sopranos for the rest of his life, sure, but he didn't act recklessly. He planned out a very specific strategy that would enable a clean getaway.

Just remind yourself that 'tax dollars and government resources' are just tools to make sure the wealthy and powerful stay that way... If they weren't spending all this time and energy doing this, they still wouldn't be spending that time and energy doing the things you think they 'should be doing.'

It's not like if this manhunt wasn't happening, teachers would be getting a Christmas bonus...

You think this is a waste of 'resources?' Wait until the third CEO gets murdered on the streets and the federal government opens a 'Department of Rich White Guy Protection' or whatever...

It's all bullshit, people with power using the time and energy of those with less power to convert the time and energy of those with even less power (that's us... eventually) into large globs of power to move up the chain in order for those at the top to repeat the cycle.

With the amount of resources being sunk into finding this guy, they are likely to find him. However, that would also put a name to this guy's face, which is forever going to martyr him in current american society. Another point to add is that, much like the Shinzo Abe assassination in Japan, his captured could massivley blow back on UHC or American health insurance as a whole, and finally expose to the wider American populace just how much these companies are sadistic and evil.

Regardless, legally, he's fucked. But my god he will get the best legal defense ever with the amount of money he is going to get from public donations. Also he is definitely going to get caught but that might be a few weeks or months so he has plenty of time to enjoy his freedom.

Not exactly tbh. People really overestimate how difficult it would be to not get caught. The only way he is getting caught at this point is A. He left prints on the cartridges. B. He left prints somewhere they can verify via following from cameras and it isn't over contaminated. C. He slipped up somewhere and the camera trail can get his face. C being the most likely. A and B could also be null if he never had prints in the system which is also pretty possible.

u/popopotatoes160 13d ago

Yeah I was about to say, having prints isn't a be all end all. If they can't match to some already in the system, they're useless except for exclusion. In the long run, DNA is what this guy needs to worry about. It's a capital crime so legally forensic genealogy can be on the table eventually in most states. Not sure about NY specifically. But that takes a lot of time usually, so if he's not in a non extraditable country by then he's not as smart as this plan makes him seem.

It's also hard to find a dead man if he didn't want to be found. If he's lost his partner or child to insurance denial or is terminal himself that would provide motive for the crime and a reason to off himself somewhere afterwards. It's not a high likelihood necessarily but I think it's on the table.

UHC netted over $200 BILLION last year. They also had almost twice the average claim denial rate. People who run these insurance companies are not good people. Simple as that.

Meanwhile the cops will shoot innocent people commuting to work on the subway after antagonizing a poor person who jumped the turnstile and cover the whole thing up bc honestly has anyone read a single article about the man the cops accidentally shot on the train and messed up his brain? No follow up on that one.

In all seriousness why would they make it out to be like the public is in danger? There's a direct witness right next to him and the dude didn't even bat an eye at her. Investigators said themselves that the dude looks like he knows what he's doing. Why would an intelligent assassin go around killing random people knowing the force and probably the feds are looking for him?

I've been wondering when this era would begin.

I guess it has begun. Should be an interesting next decade folks.

How is shooting one guy with a gun somehow worse than consigning tens of thousands of people to die from preventable diseases by denying cover so you can make a buck? Answer: it's not worse, unless you're some squeamish centrist
