a portrait of elegance emerges from the CNN article:

Brian Thompson was walking toward the New York Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, dressed in a suit and tie, to attend UnitedHealthcare’s annual investor conference being held in the ballroom"

A gunman, who investigators tell CNN was masked in the sub-freezing temperatures, waited for about 10 minutes before Thompson’s arrival, before opening fire from 20 feet away shooting multiple times, striking Thompson."

The gunman fled, cutting through an alleyway and hopping on to a bicycle, the official told CNN."

hope he died in complete terror. only wish I could have been there to piss in his face.

Shooter was wearing a mask and had buns of steel.

20 feet away? Damn, finally an adventurist who spent time at the range.

I feel like targeting billionaires and CEOs isn't adventurism, shit's popular.

Think of all the life-saving procedures that have been denied that could have been paid for with the catering budget for this investor conference.

Perfect. Only would've been better if it had been at the podium in front of the investors but I'll take it

unless somebody betrays somebody, I bet they do. cops are a fucking joke against even the most obvious idiots. somebody clever with a simple plan and a normal amount of luck is basically Moriarty.

getting on a bike and powering off asap while wearing fairly unidentifiable clothing is gonna make it borderline impossible i think. i doubt itll be just cops working on this though, billionaires will hire a lot of goons to figure this one out

I really hope it wasn't a business thing or a mugging

I hope it was a normal disgruntled person and I hope the fucker was made to beg
