Summary

The NYPD released unmasked photos of the suspect in the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown on Dec. 4.

Surveillance footage traced the suspect’s movements before and after the crime, including his escape on an e-bike.

Investigators uncovered cryptic words on shell casings at the scene and recovered items possibly containing DNA evidence.

Authorities are using facial recognition and offering a $10,000 reward for tips. NYC Mayor Eric Adams confirmed the attack was premeditated and involved a silencer. Motive remains unknown.

Hey, white dudes: I know we got beef and that ain’t gonna go away any time soon. But you have one job and one job only.

Go buy a black turtleneck and a jacket with a green hood and wear that for the next week or two.

You just know that calls have been placed to the NYPD commissioner to pressure them into making sure they don’t take him alive, just so billionaire-owned media can keep saying “motive remains unknown”.

Every god damned person that’s seen the headline knows exactly what the motive was, but sure, it’s biiiiiig mystery.

I kinda get that vibe from the police too. Just $10,000? Don’t try too hard there, now.

I was denied emergency life saving medication by my insurance (not united iir) and ended up in the hospital the next day for a week. Billed an average $15,000 a day each day.

After the bills came in, it was apparent someone/algorithm put me in the hospital to bill the most money for profit. It was a nasty trick.

Anyways, $10,000 seems like chump change to them. More of a “well, we tried” bounty.

Cops don’t give a fuck.

It is the easiest go to these days (don’t worry, we’ll have even worse sooner than later) but look at Uvalde. Cops actively prevented parents from rescuing their children. Cops physically restrained a different cop who was trying to rescue his wife (she was murdered and he later resigned). They don’t even operate in their own self interest.

So you can bet that the cop who Failure Drills the restrained suspect because “he’s a professional hitman who won’t be taken alive” will have denied claims and be desperate for any way to get life saving procedures done.

I know someone who lost their dad to medical issues. Their dad’s insurance is asking them for $200k

When my eye condition was rapidly degenerating, insurance denied me the only procedure that could slow it down. Now my eyesight is absolute trash and the only reason I can even see is because I use $1000/lens glass lenses the size of a nickel

The deductible for my sympathy hasn’t been met

If they unfortunately find him, jury selection is gonna be super interesting. I would let that guy go with a handshake and a good job.

like with the rittenhouse case; they’re going to find a judge & jury sympathetic enough to the rich to make a conviction happen.

they did it with obamacare and they can do it with an assassin.

Seriously. Imagine the state prosecutor trying to weed out that jury pool.

Even if a potential juror doesn’t mouth off online, there is a massive list of names that UHC has fucked over directly, let alone people with ill feelings toward health insurance in general.

It’s the NYPD, they don’t care who actually did it, they just want to pin it on someone. Corrupt bastards, even by pig standards.

In the article: “It is not clear whether the photographs shared on X on the suspect are the same as those mentioned in CNN’s report.”. They’re literally making shit up.
