While there is a justifiably gleeful response to the murder of Brian Thompson, one must remember he is only a hired gun, he will be quickly replaced by another like thinking and acting by the Board of Directors.

I hesitate to rush to judgement, that this was an act by a customers disgruntled relative.

James Feinman wrote a book Delay, Deny, Defend. the hitman left cartridge casings with Delay, Defend, Depose, and foolishly left behind a water bottle. he had a silencer, was an expert marksman with a pistol, and cleared a jam as he moved between shots. He was a pro. Then sped away on a bicycle to Central Park, exited the park without his back pack, the cops say that they have found it, and got lost in a bus station, which the authorities say he was taking a bus to Atlanta.

He had a fake NJ ID (probably a drivers license)

If he were on the bus, they could have stopped the bus at any time and apprehended him, or waited until the bus arrived in Atlanta. so far crickets.

Crickets on the backpack, crickets ath the bus station, crickets in Atlanta.

If he was a relative of a person killed by United Health care, he was very cool, calm, collected and gone through considerable effort to plan the hit, including knowledge of Brians travel plans at the time and date of the hit.

He was laying in wait for him, knowing that he would walk by. Too much planning, too much info, including a fake NJ ID, and a silencer for it to be a relative of a UH customer.

But let us wait and see how it plays out. I very well could be wrong in my skepticism.

You seem pretty sure he was a pro hired by a relative, so the relative could remain unsuspected. If they catch the pro, I wonder if they can make him identify the relative. And the other things you mention seem to imply the cops don't really want to catch the guy whether he was hired or not, probably because they have no empathy for the victim.

I never said he was a pro hired by a relative, He could have been a pro hired by the company itself,, or even AHIP (Association of Health Insurance Providers) maybe he was about to do damage at to the association or the company at the meeting he was walking to attend 2024 DRI Insurance Coverage and Practice Symposium

I do not thing that the love one of a person who was murdered by UH has the resources to hire a hitman, not do I think that a husband or son of a person killed by UH has the resources and connections to do it himself, knowing Brians intinerary, his route of travel, obtaining a fake NJ ID acquiring a silencer, and then cooly, calmly stepping out shooting him at a distance, and clearing a jam while walking.

I am aware that everyone wants to believe that it was karmic justice, payback but there is too much that suggests it was professional and an inside job, especially knowledge of his schedule and itinerary.
