Good for him. Hope they never catch him.
Even avoiding airports, he could be on the other end of the country by now.
Isn't there's something where if the police don't find a suspect in the first few days, they probably won't? May not apply when the case has this much attention and the police are motivated.
"The first 48 (hours)" is misleading.
First, it is mostly a function of how much the cops care. If they care about finding someone they will get off their asses. If they don't, they will just procrastinate and ignore it. This is why you have stories of families frantically trying to get any help at all to find their loved one that was written off as "a junkie" or "a slut".
Second, it matters more when you are dependent on grocery store security cameras and the like that might only have 24 hours of capacity anyway. Less so when you are relying on train stations and bus stations that got all that 9-11 money.
Third? The cops likely already have all they need to identify him. He was allegedly tracked to having got on a bus in Atlanta. They have a few photos of his face. And basically everyone is in the DMV databases. That gives a general tri-state area (possibly an outright car if they check long term parking for the period he was away) and they can narrow that down by employment status (taking a few weeks off to go off grid is not something a Starbucks barista is allowed to do) and even UHC records to see who was denied a claim in the past few years (fortunately THAT doesn't narrow shit down at all).
So they can eventually find him. It is inevitable.
That said: This is the cops. The first white guy who looks vaguely like the shooter and who has no alibi will be heroically killed by the cops when they went to ask him questions and he opened fire while screaming "I am the guy who killed the UHC CEO and I feel really really bad about it and only did it because I am woke and hate my life and please forgive me officer but I will never be taken alive. Also I am pro illegal immigrants and am spraying fentanyl around in case any cops piss hot after this.". Also he had a dime bag of weed on him for some reason. Sorry, half a dime bag.
US is a mad place.
lmaooooo 😭
I had to turn off ne2s when they were saying it's now a multi state manhunt and it's important to keep this in the public eye.
I was like good point, let me stop watching.
It would be good for him if they never catch him, but if they do, and he is sentenced to death as would be expected, his last words could greatly magnify the historical impact of his act, as with the anarchist/labor martyrs of the early 20th century.
That is, unless the media deliberately suppress what he actually said and report his last words as “skibidi toilet” or a declaration of undying love for some Jodie Foster analogue or something, thus proving that the shooter was nuts, as anyone who had a grudge against America’s healthcare providers would have to be.
I know this is indirect speech how they'd spin it, not your own words, but I fucking hate the way these vampires are spun as "providers" - they don't provice jack shit except the rare case of "I provide the wealth to shoulder large financial burdens at once" (but we all know the fine print on that).
The actual providers, on the other hand, have to watch a mother's entire world collapse when she's told her child is gonna die because the treatment isn't affordable and the insurance that made her come all this way to find an in-network doctor in the first place decided the kid should try Yoga or whatever bullshit.
I’m sure the propaganda ghouls in the US are currently talking with one voice about how Brian Thompson was one of the carers, who gave his life to helping the sick, and how his killer is bound for the lowest circle of Hell alongside Hitler, Oswald and the Rosenbergs.
Bitch, my boss is doing more for my healthcare.
Spontaneous Home Office because I caught a cold? If you mark it on your time sheet, I might have to reprimand you, so just don't.
Doctor's appointment with awkward scheduling? If it interferes with important meetings, we'll have to see if we can make it work, otherwise just mark it in your calendar so I know when you're unavailable, catch up the hours whenever.
Granted, it's an office job and I'm doing good work, so he has little reason to object, but that puts him above Thompson already.
So you're saying there's a difference between healthcare providers (doctors/surgeons/nurses/PAs/etc) and wealthcare providers (insurance companies)?
What I've seen the media do is that they will under-report the story and highly focus on a meaningless attention-grabbing event to distract from it. Whenever I see lots of news reporting on something meaningless but engaging, I think they're covering an important story that they don't want us to see.
I would really like to see a site that aggregates independent media so that we could see news headlines by media that isn't handicapped by political connections.
There's plenty of sites that'll give you whatever AI written garbage that'll conform to your personal political beliefs.
The real problem is revenue is drying up for media that confirms their sources and reports the facts without having a political slant to it.
People only viewing media that conforms to their personal biases is what got Trump elected.
New York has no death penalty afaik.
They'll throw him in prison where he'll be treated like royalty.
They can easily prosecute this as a federal crime in a federal court. Crossing state lines might be enough to do it, and they can probably add some additional charges like terrorism. Federal murder can be eligible for death penalty.
Biden should do something cool, since he's thinking about preemptive pardons...
And if they do I hope the courthouse has mobs of protesters larger than has ever been seen.
