"The motive remains unclear" is one of those things that, as a journalist, you know you have to write because it is absolutely the truth, but you hate yourself for every letter of every word because you know how fucking stupid it sounds given the circumstances.

As of about a month ago there had been ~320 murders in NYC this year.

Yet this single one has captured the media's attention nationwide and cops seem to be heavily focused on this one.

Because modern society at pretty much every institutional level sees the wealthy and powerful as not just more important than us, but they dont even see us. Hell, compare this to school shootings that only make local news now.

Historically, societies like this end in an incredibly brutal fashion. And until the wealthy and powerful really can build terminator style robot armies...

The masses are always going to win.

It's kind of the natural consequences of hyper concentration of a finite and essential resource. People rarely sit around and starve voluntarily, and once the majority are starving, people start acting like a mob.

We see it day to day over minor stuff where people just refuse to follow societial norms. Everyday we're shown that rules don't really matter, and none of the people who matter are held accountable. If someone isn't physically stopped from doing something, they take that as permission. Hell, that was the defense of most 1/6ers.

The social contract was invalidated a long time ago, people are just now realizing it. And that's the only thing that really seperates us from animals.

Crashing out is gonna be the norm pretty fucking soon, I don't think we have 4 years or that trump will be able to hold society together.

There's a very high chance we're gonna live in some interesting times.

"We do not know why" haha, take a wild guess, please!

The case raises questions about executive security

Thankfully it doesn't raise any questions about the place of billionaire CEOs of companies making life and death decisions for the general populace for the sake of their overflowing pocket book. Boy would that be awkward.

I finally understand what certain people mean when they talk about "good guys with guns".

I sure hope nobody copies this behavior of retribution against the billionaire class which is responsible for almost all of the worlds suffering.

Thoughts and Prayering so hard right now.

Authorities suggest Thompson was targeted but remain unclear on the motive.

Friggin Sherlock Holmes' over here.

The case raises questions about executive security

"We won't be pressured into changing the system we'll just protect the rich exploiters better"

Despite a fairly obvious motive in general before this news broke, and now confirmation it was because of their policies, they are doing zero soul searching or reexamination of why their policies became a motive

Thompson’s killing quickly sent shockwaves through the corporate world, with corporate security heads gathering in a conference call to Wednesday.

“Many of my colleagues today are sitting down with their executive protection team leaders, their security leadership teams, and re-evaluating what they are doing and not doing,” Dave Komendat, president of Seattle-based Komendat Risk Management Services

Who had neo-Pinkertons on their 2020s bingo?

To those upset that this is headline news because he's rich, remember that exposure breeds copycats.

Its simple all you clueless colombos. Just start investigating all denied claims where the person died at a result. Shouldn't take more than a decade or so to go though that list.

Shootings must be rare in NYC given how much attention this one is getting.

Authorities suggest Thompson was targeted but remain unclear on the motive.

Aye, that sure is a mystery for the ages. Maybe he cut somebody up in traffic?

Thoughts and deductibles to his family.

what's the phrase -I've never wished death upon a person but I've read some obituaries with great satisfaction?

The case raises questions about executive security,

Of course this is the lesson. Not that everyone hates you, your company, the business, etc. It's not our actions. We just need security.

To those complaining this is news because this is a rich white CEO and shouldn't be. It's fascinating to me because it seems like vengeance. It seems like it was well planned. It seems like the killer may have had a personal beef with the insurance company. I don't usually follow things like this but I think insurance companies are genuinely evil. This one has my interest.

authorities remain unclear about the motive

the authorities are fucking idiots

Insurance companies hate this one trick.

But no honestly, why are they acting like CEOs are fucking important?

Just parasites is all they are.

LMAO. It's hilarious to me how basically nobody is mourning the death of this dude. Hopefully it is making other insurance leadership start to rethink their careers.

Boy I hope no future healthcare CEO assassins copy this calling card, and I especially hope their bullet shells aren’t covered with the names of people killed by the CEO’s company denying them healthcare.

Not only would that encourage more copy cats, but it would really capture people’s attention and get them thinking about the issue. If the public starts considering crazy propaganda like how seeking maximum profit at the expense of widespread human suffering might not be life’s most noble pursuit, just imagine what could happen!

Damn, he was really about sending a message 😬
