Though full disclosure they’re pushing back on an expensive treatment for my PKD*, but I should get by it on appeal and getting them some more data.

*Not polycystic kidney disease, but Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency. Yes, I collect obscure genetic enzyme deficiencies. Everybody needs a hobby.

Bicycling. Bicycling is good.

Depends on the prostate.

I found his address, he lives 4 blocks from me. Actually lives in a house 3 down from one we looked at when moving here. We go to the playground near his house. Crazy

Did he fire more than one? With no sound it’s hard to tell.

That Hilton was the one George Bush (II) always stayed in when he was in town.

Seems his company was famously a caricature of evil insurance companies. I guess this is activism/terrorism. I hope we find out.

Three shots, from what I read.

Perp looked unhurried and calmly professional in the video.

Indeed. He waited for the vic to walk by and shot him in what appears to be the leg, then more in the torso.

I have found almost no sympathy for this guy anywhere on social media. I think America is united in its hatred of our health insurance system.

Very. Looked like he had a suppressor too. Not random.

Yeah he had to “cock” the gun between each shot. Yes 3-4 shots. I have to run an errand later, will drive by his house. I wonder if there is a cop outside of it now.

He wasn't cocking the gun, he was clearing a jam. Looks like a pistol, maybe small caliber. (I don't see a lot of muzzle rise and I don't see the upward flash of a compensator. So if it's small caliber with a suppressor, there's definitely a paper trail. Especially on the suppressor.

He's not a pro. Bad location. Bad shooting. Too many cameras.

Also, unless I heard incorrectly, there were 3 live rounds at the scene in addition to the brass.

No cop. Just about 6 cars. I presume family and friends.

[George K]

I don't understand why he put a suppressor on the pistol. According to RUnkle (in the video), that might have been the cause of the gun misfiring.

I’ve seen too many jokes about whether he was waiting to get his treatment approved when he died. I’ve not seen the glee which I’m sure is there from haters. Because I’ve gone out of my way not to look.
