UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson shot dead in Midtown Manhattan, masked gunman at large

a reply to: CriticalStinker

I wouldn't rule out a mob hit just yet either.

Lots and lots of money circulating between the organized crime world and the insurance world.

Just sayin'.

Walking up to a guy and cappin' him dead on a busy street is a classic mob signature.

"Leave the gun, and take the Cannoli!"

His wife has stated that he had been receiving death threats.

She didn’t happen to mention she was the one sending them?

Might be a possibility.

Some are saying the video looks like he’s using a suppressor, which may be the case since reports are he had a round jam. (Using subsonic if he had a suppressor) which would make sense given the underpowered rounds might have struggled to cycle the receiver.

I haven’t seen any news sources pick up on this, but they’re incredibly gun illiterate anyways.

One article suggested he might be a professional since he was able to clear a jam 😂

I could clear gun jams at 12, most of the time by just manually playing with the action or worse case scenario pulling out my pocket knife.

Well this isn't exactly an unthought of thing. Every convention I work has security and cops and bomb dogs and all that. The level of this goes up the bigger/richer the company is as well as the type of industry. Pharma is one of the most secure and typically the executive folks also have bodyguards on top of everything else...and they don't walk anywhere...they are delivered to the door back stage by their driver. Seems odd a man in his position would be walking around without security with him just walking around alone and not being driven seems off to me.

There is an arctic blast in the NE, so maybe no one thought anything of the mask.

No one thought anything of the Mask because it's NYC and people are still virtue signaling COVID in that place.

COVID gives anyone anywhere at anytime an excuse to where a mask .

As for the shooting that was a premeditated Hit end of story . The Question is what door was that CEO knocking on that got him hit ......

I watched the video. This guy was a pro, no doubt about it.

He steps out from behind a car, raises a clearly suppressed firearm and calmly fires. Then he fires again, and starts walking toward the victim, attempts to fire a 3rd time and gets a jam (common with sub-sonic ammo). Without even looking at the pistol, he cycles three round through the chamber and fires a 3rd time from point blank range nearly standing over the victim. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Then the guy takes off and darts into an alley.

The fact he had an escape route planned, and then got on an e-bike; it was all very carefully planned out. He then went down the shortest path to Central Park where there's the least amount of camera coverage.

Prior to the shooting he casually walks into a Starbucks and buys a water and two power bars, so he didn't care about being ID'd by CCTV cameras. The only reason he escaped to Central Park was to conceal his exit. He was probably in disguise in the Starbucks, and likely changed clothes in the park after ditching the bike and probably the firearm (in pieces at various points).

This was a straight-up hit, and it was done by a pro. No amateur pulls off something like that.

I'm going to go with a disgruntled employee.


The shooter was most likely known by the victim.

I agree...100% a professional.
His features look Russian...Im putting my money on Russian Mafia.

Well, one think is certain; Hunnter has been forgotten by the MSM and with Biden out of the country they have to have something to occupy us peasants.

Funny how that always seens to happen whenever you get to close to political misdeeds. We have a new shiny object!

I don't think this guy is a heavy enough hitter to create a diversion like that.

Found a RAW video link of the Shooting ....Seems like this guy Knew what he had to do

don't know if it's virtue signaling or just plain out idjetness, but that is happening here in the panhandle of fl.
old folks or people with comorbidities i can understand, but some of them you can tell there's not a damn thing wrong with them

Agreed he cleared that malfunction immediately .

Though it is interesting one of his shots was so far off he hit him in the back of the leg . If I'm not mistaken Id say it was the first shot that hit the leg, but none the less yes this was a Professional hit .

That's all I've seen today's news focus on. Hubby watches Fox with that loud lady and that's the only place that mentioned Hunter, so it looked like MSM has already moved on and replaced the pardon as top story; it didn't even get homorable mention.

P.S. It always amazes me how no-nothing stories always seem to replace any stories on political corruption- unless it deals with Trump. Then they talk it to death for a week or three.

I'm surprised this type of thing doesn't happen more often.
Insurance companies..
Doctors..
Judges..
Lawyers..

All of them have destroyed people's lives and there's nothing more dangerous than someone with nothing to lose.

Insurance company won't cover medical bills..
Judge doesn't let man see his kids..

Bang

If you could see the empty chairs at dinner tables across America due to Biden/Harris intentionally letting criminals come into this country illegally, you'd have some specific names to add to that list.

Those at the top of this administration (incl Biden/Harris) will have to legally pay for the beautiful lives and families destroyed.

I bet the Mainstream Media has this tame-looking execution blurred in certain spots, and disclaimers spackled over it.

Well versed with a gun, but possibly not really a trained hitman, but then again, I’m not an expert on these matters myself. His shooting stance and not following through quicker on his target is a bit of a clue he’s not a professional IMO.

Mexican cartel?

It seems that more information is coming out, the CEO had some dirt, plus the insurance company is been investigated by the DOJ, for federal violations.

Experts believe the killer was not a professional but an amateur.

I guess I go with a very unhappy citizens that the insurance screwed up.

Gonna be hard to work this case when everyone who has ever had the misfortune of being a customer of United Health is a suspect.

My sympathy is non-existent this dude deliberately ruined lives and let people die all to line his own pockets and those of the parasite shareholders.

If anything it was a merciful fate.
