    I have a feeling the shooter gets away with this one. Sure, some mistakes were made, leaving evidence, but unless they find DNA or better, more conclusive surveillance footage, I don't think prosecutors get a win. If they even find someone to charge. It's easy to match motive to many other people the company fucked over. Unless there's evidence out there I haven't heard about. No face, no case.

    Nah, it’s still a case of you only matter if you have money and power. Right now the powerful people are getting a sense of an uprising and want to try and send a message.

    I think the next few years are going to be quite interesting, as I think the greed and corruption in government at the expense of the working class is going to become more and more prevalent and egregious with the incoming administration.

    I mean that will get you to the event. Moving in and waiting what 30 minutes? Timing seems too good, just doesnt seem coincidental. That and he was seen on the phone within the 30 minutes within his arrival.

    These meetings are public knowledge and the speaker list is usually known months in advance. The fact that evidence suggests the shooter spent hours hanging out in the area also supports the theory that he knew the CEO would be there, but not when he would arrive.

    Oh look, they have no choice but to report the actual fucking news now.

    It really is pathetic they chose to drag this out this long. The message could halve been sent out a lot sooner to idiots who actually thought that the public cared about this dead piece of of shit.

    And let’s just make it concrete that no sympathy is needed for any murdered health care executives:

    That has got to be one of the worst-written "articles" I've ever read. The whole thing could be summed up in less that one paragraph.

    That's 99% of "news" these days.

    If the title isn't clickbait, then it's 90% of the story itself.

    Every day, as I wake up and get ready to sweat my ass off working on heavy equipment, I'm so glad that I never finished my English degree and pursued a career in journalism.

    Interesting that he targeted healthcare, and not big oil, given the more "big picture" perspective he seems to have taken in most of his writing and thinking.

    I'm willing to trust the jury on this one, but I'm still deeply weirded out by a good number of his "supporters" who think it should be legal to hunt the homeless for sport.

    Does anyone think that this guy is just a patsy? How convenient that he gets caught in a McDonalds, carrying his ghost gun, fake IDs, and manifesto.

    It is definitely weird. He made it a couple hundred miles from the crime scene, kept every last piece of evidence that will make a tidy case to convict him, then gets recognized by a McDonald's employee when there were only crappy cctv photos never showing his entire face. And, he's supposed to be a smart guy, valedictorian of his school and shit. It's severely weird.

    Theories are that this is either a fall guy to cover up NYPD's monumental fuck-up of this whole investigation, or he intentional let himself get caught to serve as a martyr.

    Its been fun seeing Reddit and Twitter waffle on their love for him since he's more of a man-o-sphere bro than the Robin Hood they wanted.
