So many resources spent for one dead white guy. I dont imagine every murder gets this much attention and expensive work done on it.
The continued existence of police forces in the US depends on their role as protector of the wealthy. They know they must perform their duty or risk losing the protection of their patrons.
If he had killed any of us, the cops wouldn’t give a shit.
Remember that.
Yeremi Colino was murdered the same day. No massive manhunt, no big cash reward for his murderers’ capture. AFAIK, they’re still at large.
But I guess that’s the difference in how our society values the lives of a migrant teenager and a CEO of a massive insurance conglomerate.
He wouldn’t have killed any of us.
Remember that.
But any CEO of any health insurance corporation absolutely would.
I dunno, I’m the CEO of my own single-member LLC.
How many deaths is your company responsible for?
Just my own, every day.
Then you’re fine and have nothing to fear from The Adjuster.
All the brain cells from doing bureaucracy
These insurance providers kills thousands and the cops don’t give a shit.
And if you were in a bad situation, cops on the scene have a higher chance of killing you.
If I’d done what that CEO fuck probably did to this guys family, he would a been justified in killing me too
I hope you haven’t…
Nah, they just finger their cat.
Murder clearance rate in Manhattan is over 80%.
Too bad they can’t just pick up a rando with mental health issues and lie, torture, and starve him in a room until he “confesses”
Those goalposts heavy?
Statistically, there were likely 4 more murders in NYC since this one, I’m sure they’re investigating those just as thoroughly.
DUN-DUN!
Cue BD Wong talking about how the assassin was abused as a child by UHC
Or JK Simmons nonchalantly implying that maybe the CEO deserved it, and that makes the killer the most sane of anyone.
He did deserve it though. We also shouldn’t stop at Health Insurance CEOs, we need to make oil company execs fear for their lives for the damage they are doing to the environment.
To put that in perspective:
All numbers from 2023
NYC:
- 8.25 million inhabitants
- 386 murders
Austria:
- 9.13 million inhabitants
- 72 murders
Big cities have more murders than rural countries, more news at 11.
Jury nullification.
He’s not getting a jury. They’re going to cut him down and say he shot himself so his legacy will be that he was a coward . At least that will be the attempt but it seems like everyone will know better
This exactly my thought. They will do everything to make him crazy or suicidal.The good thing is that someone leak what he wrote on the casing. This makes it clear he is socially motivated. Hopefully, if they ever close in, he will have an online stream up.
He should walk naked into a major TV studio carrying nothing, ask them to call the cops. Force them to accept a surrender.
Hangs self in cell when camera is broken.
I still don’t think the smiling picture is him. Unless he ditched the backpack and jacket, got different ones and then ditched the backpack again.
“He was in the middle of sexually assaulting the news crew.”
Americans really need to google these words if they haven’t already.
Most Americans didn’t see any crime…
You are assuming that this saint protector of the working people could be presumably guilty of a crime
Oh no, I’m not talking about this case. Just in general, it’d be good of Americans to inform themselves on that.
In a private browsing window because if they know you know about it you will never serve on a jury.
Good luck going though the search history of every single person up for jury selection.
Also, a “private window” won’t lean jack shit, just means your local personal files won’t save what you do. Cookies and Google and whatnot still do.
If you want to be anon, use TOR with VPN or at least a VPN.
I don’t think its helpful to combine a Tor and VPNs in most situations. Tor itself should be fine
Vpn with tor can hide the fact that you’re using tor from your isp
It pretty much is the VPN as far as I’ve understood it.
That’s not what people mean when they say do not use a VPN with tor

thanks
Second link seems to be down.
Yep, it’s gotten me out of jury duty twice
If people with intelligence and empathy skip out on jury duty, that leaves idiots and sociopaths to judge the accused.
Well unfortunately I have a job and a mortgage. If the trial goes longer than the few days that my employer is forced to pay me, and I’m stuck with the $50 a day the state pays, I’m fucked. I don’t consider living on the street a civic duty.
That’s fair and I’ve had to bail on jury duty for the same reason, although I was able to participate once.
You have to say it six times in a row in front of a mirror with the lights off.
In addition to looking for the killer, police are still searching for a motive as to why someone would kill Thompson.
This is definitely where they need to focus their resources first.
Honestly? Yea probably. It’d be fucking amazing if the police ended up releasing a report on just how much UHC fucked this guy or his family/friends over.
It’s clear they haven’t even given it a first look. The guy put the title of the book on the bullet casings
Too bad they can’t read!
Somebody looking to hide their motive would that too tho
Yes. It is extremely bizarre how something like this could happen.
Especially since the president elect already said he could do the same thing one block over, four years ago
I’m convinced. This is a South Park episode.
I mean for all we know it has nothing to do with healthcare premiums. The guy could be a fellow board member who got boned out of a bonus or something.
The message on the bullets would suggest otherwise. To me that seems like an attempt to preempt speculation that the motive had nothing to do with insurance company fuckery.
Could just as easily be a red herring.
I mean, most likely it isn’t internal insurance drama, but it could be.
Besides, how amazing would it be for the cops to say “yeah so we researched this and it was definitely a retaliation execution for all the lives he murdered in his quest for money and power”. Talk about putting the billionaire class on alert haha
Tbf, that’s the largest pool of potential suspects, so it makes sense that they’d want to call police attention in that direction regardless of the actual motive. I do think it’s genuine, but it’s a smart move either way
Is the NYPD not aware of the internet?
I love how they’re using the full force of their resources to catch this guy, but a random murder they put two detectives on for a few months, shrug and close the case.
shrug and close the case
And every politician, every cop on the street Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite
Thaaaat is how the world works! 🎶
This needs more attention. We should all be collectively outraged at the police response. They should saddle 2 detectives with the case and direct all these resources back to where they were before. The rest of the CEOs can sleep with one eye open.
“we’re going to get this guy”
Twist: that’s not the guy that shot him…
That’s 6 words, 7 if you removed the contraction. I think it was the k-9 unit with the lead pipe in the kitchen.
Are they sure someone got hurt? I hope the gangbang worked out for Trisha… If really someone actually did get hurt.
police are still searching for a motive as to why someone would kill Thompson.
Someone assassinates a legal serial killer, and cops are looking for a motive?
Wow, those hiring requirements that disqualify applicants if they have too high of an IQ is really working out well for the police force.
they are so annoyed that they actually have to do any work because the subject was rich.
All this time and energy for this good guy, what a waste, fuck cops.
200 pics are big boy words.
That’s at least 10 seconds of video footage at 20 FPS.
Oh shit, a crime the cops actually have to solve, haha, can’t just frame some poor sap this time gotta do some actual detective work. I hope they never catch him and the PD gets defunded. I know its NYC and they need cops but I think they could use a haircut at least
They can’t even blame a brown or black person, this is SSS rank detective work and they are a one-legged Kickboxer in this match.
Ya, this white guy must have them stumped.
I’m entirely unconvinced that anyone needs the thugs with badges. Multiple studies have shown that every single time that the NYPD pulls a “blue flu,” the crime rate drops, significantly. As far as I can tell, the thugs with badges cause a significant amount of the crime in this country.
I mean, yeah, “crime” will be down because they aren’t looking around for people to arrest over minor bullshit.
I agree, but if one day we abolished all cops, people in NYC especially would freak out. Hell some cops would probably do a bunch of crime to prove a point. Its not a demand that people like very much, . I think the police as a force that absolutely only exists to protect private property of the owning class, and I don’t know if you wanna hear my “nuanced” opinions and I don’t know if they’re worth very much. But I think that the police as a reactive force needs to be handled tactically in order to protect people who are protesting and force through demands. By and large I agree with Farrell Dobbs analysis in teamster rebellion was, during a political rebellion such as the 1934 Minneapolis teamster strike, the state of a police department changes daily and must be evaluated daily based on primarily their numbers. It would be great for left wing mass movements to make demands on the ruling class if that number was zero, but that’s unrealistic and most people know it.
We all watched them sit around for an hour knowing small children were dying inside a school. We know exactly what they’re made of
They are wasting a lot of time and money and energy on this investigation
They obviously value some lives more than others. No surprise, of course.
What lives would those be??
It’s a mystery!

They’re likely just going to execute him when they find him so as to not allow that. Say he was brandishing or something.
It would only make sense for him to turn himself in while accompanied by his lawyer after releasing a statement that he will be doing so. Even so, eventually he’s going to be alone in police custody and I’d be surprised if he survives that for long.
Police realize 1 video is made of 200 pictures

If he shows up at my door, I’ll gladly house him. You should too.
And you don’t have to ask him why he is running. It’s perfectly legal to help a stranger in need without asking them if they broke the law. In fact, it used to be seen as the most Christian thing to do by not judging.
I said exactly this to my friend on the phone today.
Aiding and abetting murder can result in the same charges and penalties as the principal offender, which could include life in prison without parole
Your statement could be true, but the way you’re presenting it sounds like you’re just letting the oppressors win.
Getting locked up by an oppressor. Whoever heard of that?
Got a loaded shotgun waiting for any pig that thinks I’m going in quietly for doing the right thing
We all should
Big talker aren’t ya
If you’re dumb enough to go into jail when fascism is in charge that’s on you
Its called having a plan and knowing what your government thinks of people like you
That’s the thing about big talkers. They always talk big.
This isn’t true. Harboring someone from the police after they commit a crime makes you an accessory, not a primary.
Edit: to be more concrete and actually cite what I’m saying (my bad), we’ll use federal law since they clearly crossed state lines multiple times in the stages of committing this
act of heroismcrime:An accessory after-the-fact is someone who, knowing a crime was committed, receives, relieves, comforts, or assists the offender or in any manner aids them to escape arrest or punishment. See: U.S. v. Triplett, 92 F.2d 1174 (5th Cir. 1991). The aid provided by the defendant to the principal must be given after the principal completes the crime.
The basic elements the government must demonstrate to prove that a defendant was an accessory after-the-fact are: (1) the commission of an underlying crime against the United States; (2) the defendant’s knowledge of that offense; and (3) assistance by the defendant in order to prevent the apprehension, trial, or punishment of the offender. See: U.S. v. White, 135 S. Ct. 1573, 191 L. Ed. 2d 656 (2015); Ellis v. U.S., 806 F. Supp. 2d 538 (E.D. N.Y. 2011).
If enough people are accessories, no one is an accessory
I’m sorry I don’t watch the news, so I have no idea who this person on my couch is, he just looked like a good guy who does good things.
Don’t let them find your Lemmy account.
What is this “Lemmy” you speak of? Never heard of it…
I do not care
username checks out
No it doesn’t. If it did, the comment would say “Shark does not care”.
Wink.
I will take a jury trial ;)
Good luck
it hurts you that people support this guy hehe
good
Doesn’t hurt me. I don’t support murderers
Then you must be in quite a conundrum with who was killed here; if you want justice for the CEO by finding the killer of the CEO, you’re supporting a murderer; if you support the killer of the CEO, you’re supporting a killer.
Tough moral quandary.
Yes, all the death can be laid at the feet of one guy. What a simplistic place to live.
your tone says other wise, my neo lib acolyte
Me to the judge: He said he was my cousin Paddy!
Me to the shooter: You lied to me! *wangs him with a skillet*
problem solved.
sudo !!
