i suspect that the intense response from the authorities proves how much of a priority this is for our gov't and i hope that this becomes a trend on the rich.

This isn't just a murder, it's potentially a statement about how the people who seem to be untouchable in the current social order are very very touchable. If that statement stands, it endangers the social order itself.

Propaganda of the deed (or propaganda by the deed, from the French propagande par le fait) is specific political direct action meant to be exemplary to others and serve as a catalyst for revolution.

It is primarily associated with acts of violence perpetrated by proponents of insurrectionary anarchism in the late 19th and early 20th century, including bombings and assassinations aimed at the state, the ruling class in a spirit of anti-capitalism, and church arsons targeting religious groups, even though propaganda of the deed also had non-violent applications. These acts of terrorism were intended to ignite a "spirit of revolt" by demonstrating the state, the middle and upper classes, and religious organizations were not omnipotent as well as to provoke the State to become escalatingly repressive in its response.

Yeah I feel like this is another thing that is fully normalized - the cops are there to protect wealth. Just like how the health care industry's practices have been normalized.

I kinda get that vibe from the police too. Just $10,000? Don't try too hard there, now.

I was denied emergency life saving medication by my insurance (not united iir) and ended up in the hospital the next day for a week. Billed an average $15,000 a day each day.

After the bills came in, it was apparent someone/algorithm put me in the hospital to bill the most money for profit. It was a nasty trick.

Anyways, $10,000 seems like chump change to them. More of a "well, we tried" bounty.

If they unfortunately find him, jury selection is gonna be super interesting. I would let that guy go with a handshake and a good job.

what guy? all i saw was a woman with pink hair and a nose ring.

This was on Sixth, though. Totally different.

Every god damned person that's seen the headline knows exactly what the motive was, but sure, it's biiiiiig mystery.

This is the exact opposite of the Reddit Boston Bomber fiasco. What man? I only see a picture of an empty sidewalk

Exactly, the one on the right isn't even the shooter. It's jake gyllenhaal trying to get photographs of the scene

And since you'll have to fight to get those stitches covered by insurance ...

I'm calling bullshit that the pictures they've released so far are even the same man. The builds are different, the noses are different, the skin tone is different, the jacket is different, the backpack is different, nothing in this is the same other than its a 5'10"-6' tall man with a fucking jacket. The NYPD are dropping the ball because someone at the department hates Healthcare CEO's too.
