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

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 don't care. I keep hearing he had two kids and was a loving father. Oh well, dude shouldn't have been running a company that f u c k s around with people's health for profit.

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
