Or the Orthodontist. I detect an overbite in that smiling face.

The suspect in the Wednesday morning killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO in Manhattan reportedly arrived in New York City last month on a Greyhound bus from Atlanta, Georgia, law enforcement sources told FOX News.
The shooter boarded a bus in Atlanta the day before Thanksgiving, sources within the New York Police Department said.
The trip appears to suggest that the killer knew the conference was coming—he reportedly arrived at the Big Apple’s Port Authority bus terminal on Nov. 24 to prepare. According to Google maps, the ride takes around 17 hours. The suspect used a fake ID to check into a local hostel,
Law enforcement officials told CNN that the suspect checked out of the hostel on Nov. 29, then checked back in on Nov. 30. The suspect paid cash for his hostel stay and also allegedly paid cash for Starbucks the morning of the shooting.

The person of interest nabbed in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is an anti-capitalist Ivy League grad who liked online quotes from “Unabomber’’ Ted Kaczynski — and apparently hated the medical community because of how it treated his sick relative, law-enforcement sources told The Post on Monday.
Tech whiz Luigi Mangione, 26, of Towson, Md., has not been charged but was taken into custody Monday morning at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., after an intense manhunt following the coldblooded execution of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last week, sources said.
The former prep-school valedictorian was caught with a gun, silencer, four fake IDs with names used during the killer’s stint in New York City — and a manifesto, sources said.
The manifesto railed against the US healthcare industry, including over its enormous profits and alleged shady motives, sources said.
The weapon?

Police are looking into the possibility that the shooter used a veterinary pistol, New York Police Department Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters on Friday.
Such guns are used on farms to euthanize animals quietly, though Kenny said the use of a veterinary pistol hasn't been confirmed.
The gunman immediately fled the scene of the crime and is believed to have already left New York City on a bus. A weapon hasn't been recovered, but sources told the New York Post on Saturday that police divers are looking for the gun in the lake near the Central Park Boathouse.
On Friday, police searching Central Park found a distinctive backpack that may have belonged to the suspected killer. Sourced told the Post that the bag contained a jacket and "high-end" apparel.
Security video shows the gunman firing shots at Thompson using a gun that appeared to be equipped with a silencer.
"It's a very unique weapon. The length of the barrel in that video right there tells us it most probably is a veterinary pistol," he added.
The need to manually reload the weapon contrasts with most handguns, which automatically put a fresh round in the chamber after a shot is fired without having to rack it back by hand.

When communication fails you have to fight ‘to survive’. No, more like ‘when I can’t convince people of my vision I need to kill them to get my way’.
Not quite as noble sounding.

Just as a statement of practical effect, I think his act will move the conversation and concentrate the public's attention, in ways he wanted.

Maybe in the short term. Does anybody remember what Timothy McVeigh's agenda was at this point, or discuss it if they do?

The American health care system is an elephant in the room for everybody, and whatever McVeigh's concerns were (I recall something about the Waco siege), pale in comparison for their relatability.

I'm not convinced that murdering people helps in a rational discussion of any cause. I'd honestly have been a lot more sympathetic to Irish nationalists in the north if the Provisional IRA hadn't killed quite so many people. For decades, the debate was all about the violence, and not the very real problems the Catholic minority were facing.

Specifically targeted violence is very different from random terrorist violence.

This reminds me of this scene, starting around the 2:00 mark. Hey, even sounds like you, DOC! (Scottish, close enough?)

The IRA killed plenty of specific targets - Airey Neave, Louis Mountbatten, Ross McWhirter, numerous politicians nobody over here has heard of.
You think blowing up the Conservative party conference hotel is untargeted?
