    Only non-witches get due process.

          I'd disagree that it's Feinman, but considering he wrote a 2nd book "how to stalk and shoot someone with a silencer", I'd say he's certainly one of the suspects.

            @Aqua-Letifer

            To me the suspicion is he had some knowledge of his schedule. Beyond the mere fact of his meeting in NY and the location. But more detail than that.

            I'd be willing to chalk that up to dumb luck. This sounds and appears both planned and a little stupid.

            But this is speculation on the zaniest of levels, I obviously have no idea. Gonna be interesting, whatever they find out.

            Please love yourself.

              Did you see his Atlantic piece about how to rent a citibike without using a credit card?

                  A call for violence?

                  https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-wapo-reporter-says-we-want-executives-dead-after-murder-health-insurance-ceo?intcmp=tw_fnc

                  Former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz wrote several social media posts appearing to celebrate UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder while suggesting other executives should also be targeted.

                  Thompson was shot and killed at close range in midtown Manhattan Wednesday morning, outside the Hilton Hotel. The suspect remains at large.

                  "And people wonder why we want these executives dead," Lorenz wrote hours later, referencing Thompson’s death in a Bluesky post with a report about Blue Cross Blue Shield no longer covering anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries.

                  Lorenz also posted an image of Blue Cross Blue Shield CEO Kim Keck with a similar article on both Bluesky and X.

                  She reposted another user who wrote, "[H}ypothetically, would it be considered an actionable threat to start emailing other insurance CEOs a simple ‘you're next’? Completely unrelated to current events btw."

                  She later seemed to defend the harsh posts, claiming there’s "very justified hatred" against CEOs for the "amount of death and suffering" for which they allegedly bear responsibility.

                  "People have very justified hatred toward insurance company CEOs because these executives are responsible for an unfathomable amount of death and suffering. As someone against death and suffering, I think it’s good to call out this broken system and the ppl in power who enable it," Lorenz wrote.

                      Indeed.

                      That being said, from my sampleing of reddit and other comments, about 80% of them were "laughing at it saying, well... I'm surprised this doesn't happens more, this company screwed folks over"

                            Any attempt anywhere on the internet to question whether this should be cause for celebration, is sneered at on Reddit. Granted, this is the "leftist" sub, so they're never in a good mood.

                                      I think I have cracked the code using google maps.

                                      Brian leaves valet parking (red circle), then walks to where he is shot.

                                      image.png

                                      d5d18fa3-1f9c-4186-a4c1-b6b99d85bfa9-image.png

                                      Alternatively, since he probably isn't driving himself and getting parking, he stayed at the luxury hotel across the street. He leaves this hotel, crosses the road (where the suspect sees him, and then gets in position), then as he walks by....BOOM.

                                      BUT! There is a twist. Look at these incriminating photos. Is this BRIAN!?!?!?1/1questionmark!? WITH THE SHOOTERS WIFE? AND WHATS IN THE GREEN DRINK!???!

                                      These are in order of (google streetcar passing) sequence.

                                      BTW... no shortage of cameras.

                                      The yellow camera is what we see footage from:

                                      Here is where the suspect crossed over to:

                                      If anyone is keeping score, it turns out this is what actually happened, according to the news.

                                          Didn't run like a girl.

                                          Education is extremely important.
