Oh and there is a Lot more going on with this healthcare company and it’s CEO .

Yep. Lots

 

[Robin]

If this guy was evil, the CEO guy, I have no issue with how one is taken down.

I think we need more of this.... Kind of like the Death wish movies. Maybe they will pay closer attention to what they do with the power they wield

Pretty big 'if'. I don't hold with gutless back shooters. This isn't the heat of battle, just plain old cold blooded murder. There is an arena to deal with the issues you seem to assume. By your standards, anyone with a beef is entitled to carry out the final solution any time it meets their convenience.

I would love yo see more people step up and take care of business. Yes.

I think like would be better in these united states with more of this justice.

 

[Robin]

Oh, so your for anarchy. I've been in the fight to restore our republic for fifty plus years and for the time I see the possibility of doing just that within the Constitution as a reality. I have faced the leader of the lynch mod and did not find myself wanting so if I ever piss you off to that degree, at least give me the courtesy of looking me in the eye when you pull the trigger.

[Defilade]

Yeah I'll say the Healthcare industry needs to serious reform. Insurance also. Liability protection needs to be stripped! (I mean seriously, Who the fuck do you think you are?) Not to mention a Co-Workers daughter who is a Nurse Practitioner just received a $20,000 bonus on her first year on the job. And people wonder why "Healthcare" is so expensive or doesn't cover shit.

 

[dwa12479]

Or, maybe he is so professional... He did these things on purpose??

Could all be intentional red herrings leading to dead ends.... OR.... maybe lead to a scapegoat who's being framed. The easiest way to avoid being on the run is to have the search called off when the cops think they have their guy.

Robin... noteven sure what this all means.
Anarchy? People taking control of what happens in their life is Anarchy?

Fighting the system... not exactly sure what that means. If you remain in the boundaries of tge system, you are fighting nothing.

But this action wasn’t somebody taking control of anything. This was calculated, cold blooded murder.

Repercussions for actions. I think companies should be free to make profits but when I hear $300+ billion in profit, someone is getting fucked and being the health industry its especially evil. Like forcing elderly to die alone in nursing homes. Especially when the gov forces people to have it.

 

[GOPerfect]

We do not know this. We do not know the history of the shooter.

We are all speculating.

Maybe he list a loved one due to the unethical practices of this insurance company.

If he was wronged and he took matters inti his own hand, I do not see an issue.

You think people randomly settling their sore by murdering their fellow citizens isn't anarchy? You need a readjustment in some form or another.
" If you remain in the boundaries of tge system, you are fighting nothing." I have no idea what this means , in any context relating to this subject or my opinion on this subject. Sounds like another non sequitur word salad.
I'm out!

The gov has proven that we don't matter and will not execute a unbiased investigation.

Anarchy is a form of society without rulers.... I do not advocate for this at all.

We need leadership and "rulers"/

I am saying that the way people sit back and allow injustices to effect them is mind blowing.

When evil hits, sometimes one needs to hit back.

Again, we do not know the motivation behind this shooting. Maybe someday we will.

I do know, if more people stepped up for their families, maybe crime and injustices in the US would decrease.

If this was a man taking revenge? It's a symptom of the issues plauging this country and we will see more if trust is not restored in the justice system.

Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.

Not saying this shooting was right or wrong, we obviously don't have all the facts and details etc. Time will tell.

Actions need to have consequences. And if they don't come naturally, someone will push.

May not be the best analogy, but Think about a hockey team. One of the things that keeps players in line is self-policing. Theres 2 minute penalties for this and that etc. But you run my Goalkeeper or take a cheap shot at the team captain, the goon squad is gonna be the next line on the ice with you, and you're gonna get your ass kicked. The 2 minute penalty is gonna be the least of your worries. So players think long and hard about how much of a dick they wanna be on the ice.

 

[Cavalry]

Ok ok. Firstly, the gun was NOT a welrod or anything like that lol. You can clearly see it's a semi auto with a can on it by the profile. Also, where are we getting this info about sub sonic rounds and making the gun malfunction? Cans work perfectly well with subs. That's kind of the whole point. I'm thinking the "malfunctioning" may have not been malfunctioning at all and possibly purposeful. To get make a tilting lock pistol a single shot you would simply attach a can with no Neilsen device on the barrel. The reason for doing this would be to eliminate port pop resulting in even greater suppression. Hell, you could even simply hold the slide forward with your thumb. This will work for both super and sub sonic ammo. I own several cans so this is from experience and ACTUAL use of them. If they somehow determined he used water or some other fluid medium in the silencer then that will confirm for me that he really knew what he was doing.

ETA: a couple of other give aways that it's a semi auto is the gas coming out of the ejection port from it opening slightly. Also, he is ejecting and chambering in one fluent motion. A welrod say, would have 0 gas coming from the ejection port and needs to be twisted to be locked.

Spot on! The only thing I could possibly add is the manual of arms for a welrod/B&T is different, its not a straight pull but a twist and pull like a bolt action. This is a much different movement and certainly not as fast as some of the shots he was able to easily make.

[tirwin1]

Supposedly the police claim he took a bus out of town but didn't say where the bus was headed. Strange.

 

[JunkBoxFull]

I thought silencer/suppressor was already illegal in NY. How much more illegal can they make it?

They ARE, already illegal in NY. I call it "feeding the dumb".
It makes it look like they are "doing something" so that their "dumb" followers feel better, regardless of them being ALREADY banned in NY.

The only way to fix, "the dumb", you get rid of what`s "feeding the dumb".

I don't need rulers, I need constitutionally elected governors and presidents.
So you don't consider people randomly murdering people, as per your previous statement, a form of anarchy? interesting, how do you justify this, without a lot of if and buts?
The rest is just a lot of banal backpedaling.

[Deplorable Me]

To be fair it’s not surprising the ceo died. His lead injection was a preexisting condition and thus not covered by his plan. Additionally he was also out of network and thus not able to see any doctors in nyc.

 

[Jsmegs77]

The thing that gets me, and apparently resonates with a lot of people, is the massively disproportionate response by law enforcement when it’s discovered who the victim was.

If I were shot in the same location, say by a hit man hired by my ex wife, there would’ve been no response other than the ride to the morgue, and Sanitation with a mop and bucket.

Yes. The elites that run the surveillance state spare no expense when one of their own is a victim.

 

[Robin]

Based on everything I'm reading I think they know who this guy is already. Believing that, ten years ago i would have surmised that they got a bead on him and don't want to scare him into hiding or a plan B he might have, but sadly, these days, again believing they already know who he is, I wonder if he isn't one of their protected stooges and need to quietly, take him out, you know, the self inflicted kind.
Well, thats all the speculation I can stand. I sure hope they get all this corrupt alphabet agency shit cleaned up, along with the justice department, I hate feeling this way.

I see your point, but the outcome is still murder. How could it be anything else? Shooter laid in wait and then fired multiple rounds into the back of the victim. The vic may have been a despicable piece of shit, but it's still murder and illegal.

Of course this is murder.

Sometimes in life, I am willing to see past the crime, and look away.

At some point it's no longer murder, it's self defense to prevent the next person from being killed by the bottom line.

You are saying that this was a random shooting? One guy woke up and decided to randomly shoot a guy in the city and it just happened to be a wealthy CEO of a large insurance company? Well shit, what are the odds?

 

[tirwin1]

I'd be awfully careful about that point of view. What prevents anyone on the far left (antifa/blm) from using that justification to start shooting whoever they deem to be enemies of the people?
