UnitedHealthcare CEO fatally shot outside of Hilton hotel in Midtown in possible targeted attack: sources
The CEO of UnitedHealth was fatally shot in the chest Wednesday morning outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown in what police say was a targeted attack.
You're viewing a single thread.
NY Post is a right wing shitrag. I literally have it blocked at a network level it's such a fucking bad source.
The likelihood of this being a targeted attack is near zero and this is NY Post trying to get the wealth class scared that people are going to target them so they can justify a pretext for more law enforcement "protection" of "special" people like this guy.
They know they deserve to be targeted so they're working on massaging the media to promote the idea that they need protection before real targeting happens.
The first two outlets to report on this and say it was targeted were NY Post and fucking Bloomberg. Both right wing shitrags with vested interest in protecting the wealth class.
Here is a follow up from Reuters without claims of a targeted attack.

Says the shooter had a suppressor. I don't think random muggers do.
shooter had a suppressor
Well that's really polite in terms of noise. Maybe it was a Canadian hitman. Manners, you know.
Your assumptions show your biases against random muggers. You should be more open-minded.
^Does this need an /s? I’m gonna put an /s, just in case^
Sure, but the police are saying it was targeted. And it's being reported all over. https://abc7news.com/shooting-man-shot-midtown-manhattan/15622426/
So post a worthwhile fucking source.
Stop being so angry, have a Snickers and run this through Google translate:

This is a Swedish national TV network news article about the murder.
They also mention it being potentially targeted.
They broke the story as far as I can tell.
Ah yes, the police. Impartial and unbiased I'm sure.
Okay but not everything is a conspiracy either. It's a developing story and it's entirely plausible it was targeted.

That's what they want you to believe
Or is that what they want you to believe about them wanting you to believe?
Oh shit! *adds another layer to my tinfoil helmet*
Maybe it's just me, but I would consider the theory that this was a targeted assassination to be conspiratorial thinking.
Which is of course still plausible.
It seems plausible that one of the people who has been fucked over by UnitedHealthcare got pissed enough to do something about it.
And there's enough of them that the odds of this not being targeted are, frankly, lower than the alternative.
He was a high level CEO of a company that alot of people have beef with. They used a silencer and Midtown is pretty wealthy and muggers don't steal in those neighborhoods because they are very likely to be apprehended.
They may have added the "targeted" info afterwards. From that Reuters article you linked:
New York Times reported that police view the attack as targeted.
