I would find it hilarious is the assassin remained at large because people refused to snitch.

Also remember, things are newsworthy because they're novel. US sees like 2 gun deaths per day and thousands due to insurance company malpractice, but this one death dominates newscycles.
As one user wrote on Bluesky, “The reward out for the person who shot United Healthcare’s CEO isn’t even enough to cover 1/9 of the bill we got for 28 days of radiation.”
If I knew who he was, I wouldn't tell a god damn soul.
i'd ask for lessons.
You just need the balls. It’s not a technically difficult feat if you plan well.
Most Americans are used to guns and many have served and be trained. I think I could do something like this and get away and I’ve never been around guns. If I was at a point where I wanted to do something like this then I would just plan meticulously. Anger can be a great motivator.
Dude would be like Spider-Man when Toby is unconscious, carried by the train passengers, and reunited with his mask. No one said a damn thing to anyone, just carried him to safety and let him go on his way!
Feels like it's that time of year where being neighborly means baking someone a pie.
Maybe one knows who "he" is, but maybe one also knows other people looking somewhat similar. tipping the police to the other person makes one someone "spent" they wouldnt look into one further, because they must assume one to have "their" best interest at heart.
Shucksh that they're watchibg this convo tho.
His company is offering one free appeal of a claim denial for information leading to his arrest!
This is an I'm spartacus moment. Everybody in america should be doing their utmost to ensure the authorities have an overwhelming amount of information and leads to follow to ensure that the investigation eventually concludes with the result most in the interests of the people.
Don't get prison time by giving false information to the police. That's a crime.
Just gotta dress like the dude. Any passerby might make the connection and report it, it will be a dead end. That, and city cameras will have a hard time picking out anything from the myriad of false positives.
It ain't false information for a passerby to report something they think is suspicious that isn't. It ain't false information to dress how you like.
The only real issue here is gait identification.
This hero brought a mass murderer to justice.
There is no way I snitch if this guy's kid or mom were killed by this company's CEO greed and decisions, and no court or system would bring him justice. let them fix the system which kills people lives first
If I serve on his jury, I’ll for sure push for nullification.
Sure he broke a law, we can all acknowledge that.
But was he wrong? (Based on the overall reaction I’d argue society doesn’t think so, and that’s where laws come from) Or are the laws, allowing things to get to a place where this is understandable behavior, wrong?
I love when the largest police force in the world has to [normal part of police work].
Dont snitch btw, mans a hero.
Snitches get stitches - unless you are denied coverage.
Me when a CEO gets his head blown off right in front of me:
Why are all the pictures they release of the guy just black blocks?
You're getting blocks? I just see an empty room.
Westworld said it best:
I hope that backpack becomes a bestseller and a symbol.
I have it, great backpack.

Who are you insured with? Asking for a friend
I didn't know that it was even possible to love peak design more 😍
What if this assassination is all a viral marketing campaign? 🤔
"Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who critique capital end up reinforcing it instead..."
You inevitably have to live inside of a broken system as you work to bring it down... but ride that high horse.
Call every tipline and report the person responsible for this death and many others - That person's name was Brian Thompson.
Snitches get stitches...
And even have to pay for them because their claim is denied
To be fair, being a snitch is a predisposed condition
curious the man didn't use a better disguise. Just shading eyebrows, changing skin tone, a cheap prosthetic nose, maybe some gauze inside the mouth to change face shape. Sometimes the old spy tricks are the best.
Reminder: Snitches get stitches, and those stitches may not be covered by your insurance.
US sees like 2 gun deaths per day
Are you sure about that? NYC alone has around 1 murder per day, and I'd assume that most are gun related.
I am not sure at all. I might have been thinking of mass shootings instead :D
Depends on what you call a mass shooting. When we think "mass shooting", we're thinking of the Mother Jones sort in this pic.
There are about 50,000 gun deaths in the US every year, same as vehicular deaths. About half the gun deaths are suicides. About none of the vehicle deaths are.
2 per day? Crazy....
In 2023, the average number of people who died from gun violence in the United States each day was 118. This is based on the 43,163 people who died from gun-related injuries in 2023.
2 per day, what are they smoking.
Anyone thought about inundating the tip lines with useless tips to help our hero?
Idk man, I'm pretty sure it looks like Hunter Biden. Guess he's been pardoned
We should cover all the deaths from denied health coverage instead.
Setting aside how we feel about the deceased as well as the police, it's not much of a dunk to be like "I can't believe they're asking the public for information!" Assuming good cops and immoral criminals this is what we'd want the police to be doing.
It's the face of an angel.
but this one death dominates newscycles.
Step 1: be white
Step 2: be rich, or a young, attractive female
Step 3: dominate
attractive female
Really? Right in front of my salad?
They can't all go looking, they've got homeless people to harass.
Someone drop the crowdfund link to build a monument for this hero.
Here's one that wasn't shown in the post
HAS ANYONE SEEN JERMA RECENTLY??
K, is it just me, or is he pretty hot? Easy on the eyes AND a social justice crusader? How YOU doin'?!
No, its not just you. they can bunk in my hostel anytime.
This isn't even the same coat as the other photos, what makes them think this is the same person?
Seems to be a white male, age 20 - 48, 150 - 220 lbs, somewhere between 5"4' and 6'2. Best I can do.
Really? I was sure it was an Asian woman, last I've heard
"no I don't think I will."
Feel like for 15 years cops approach to solving crimes has been surf Facebook.
Cops don't even really solve crimes all that much
Last I checked, the average rate of solved cases across the US was 50%. I wish I could only do my job half the time and get a huge salary, while remaining a safer job than a cab driver.
The origin story of the watchmen
That's my cousin Pedro! Oh no wait nope, not him. He lost an arm before being denied.
No idea ...
Cool backpack.
The first of many.
Uh... Good luck finding this person when you post supposed photos of them and there isn't actually a person in the photo?
Doesn’t look like anything to me
I can say for certain I didn't see nothing. From six states away.
That's often why criminals remains at large. Somebody knows what happened in this case, but telling would probably implicate themselves, not to mention risk the guy's revenge.
The police are already wanting to give him a medal. Great job.
Holy shit it’s vanilla ice
I live in NYC. You see 'Wanted' posters all the time. Most often it's a missing person. Occasionally it's for the criminal.
"That's Cricket right there!"
In the other pictures with his face he was wearing a jacket with two prominent chest pockets. If I were going to change jackets I would definitely change the color.
excelent
The antidote to crowdsourcing identification is mass surveillance. Nobody wants that.
I personally love when the world's largest police force has to crowdsource their job
Bitch you mean appeal for witnesses.
