    Again, just sayin' People didn't even bother with the usual protocols, just went straight for the "quiet part out loud."

    I do too. It's just that there is usually a sizable cadre who will at least "pretend". Not this time. No. . . . given.

    It could still be personal. Hit men have families, too.

    I worked for a subsidiary of UHC for a while. It's a shit company. When I was there the former CEO was facing a class action law suit for stock options fraud. They ultimately had to pay more than $900 million in the settlement.

    Insurance companies SUCK. He'd get more sympathy with a different occupation. That said the perp needs to be brought to justice. Has anyone blamed Hillary yet?

    Seems not a pro to me.

    Evidence shows the gunman “approaches the victim from behind and shoots him in the back.”

    “The shooter then walks toward the victim and continues to shoot. It appears the gun malfunctions as he clears the jam and begins to fire again,” Kenny said.

    He said the shooter then fled into an alleyway from West 54th Street to West 55th Street.

    “Once at West 55th Street, the shooter continues to walk westbound on Avenue of the Americas, where he gets onto an electric e-Citi bike and rides northbound on Avenue of the Americas toward Central Park, where at 6:48 a.m., we have the shooter riding this bike into Central Park at Center Drive,” Kenny said. “At the scene, we recover three live 9mm rounds and three discharged 9mm shell casings.”

    Gun jammed. Left on foot. Got on an e-bike which you need an app for. Most security video dense place in the country/world. At some point he has to take off his mask. I suspect a relative of a dead customer.

    I mean, he knew how to clear a gun jam and didn't panic and run. Who knows.

    Maybe. But a middle aged male military vet, divorced, with mental health problems could clear a gun too.

    Insurance companies should be non-profit.

    While I don't want to make light of a tragedy it would be ironic if the shooter had purchased or who was a relative of a holder of a Medicare Advantage policy from United Healthcare and experienced a denial of coverage.

    Depends if we want a healthcare system or a health profit system like we have now.

    Health insurance companies shouldn't exist in the first place. Medicare for all would be much better.

    Yeah but a real pro uses a revolver, not a pistol.

    I mean, technically the NFL was a non-profit until like 10 years ago lol. I dont think that's the solution as many non-profits are just tax-exempt businesses.
