Makes me so happy that this is turning out to be a vigilante and not a hit man. Last night I was kind of bummed that the media was saying it wasn't but now it's looking like it was. Good speed hero! :07:
IDK, it could still be a hitman. Like how you can buy a cake that says "Happy Birthday, SorosFoorSoldier"
Something tells me this is only the beginning. 
Oh god yes please, that would give me life and hope.
Especially if this hero gets away with it for any amount of time. If people see that these vampires aren't as untouchable as they'd like us to think we might get more 
Can someone explain the Adventure Time -> direct action meme to me?
im sorry but i have to learn at some point. how do i use these sticker things here. i want to auby too

Early start to four years of Republican-led chaos maybe?
Not to absolve the Democrats of upholding the status quo, but it tends to be less all-out chaotic. Edit: I guess the Trump shooting attempts were some chaos, but it's still directly tied to Trump.
God I hope so 🤞🍀🌠🧧
Its a book reference
These viral marketing campaigns by publishers as going pretty far
this would be huge for the cops if any of them knew how to read
When he gets shot the first time, the CEO ragdolls like the NPCs in GTA IV instead of just falling to the ground like a sack of potatoes. Pretty cool, real life proves GTA IV has awesome physics
And it is also very cool a CEO was shot and killed in the middle of Manhattan
After seeing the video, the fact that anyone doubted the targeting at first is crazy.
It looks straight out of a movie.
Dude made the two would-be Trump assassins look like a joke. Suppressor, subsonic rounds, engraved shell casings, calmly cycles the weapon between shots. Doesn't look like anyone around even noticed what was happening.
Very demure, very mindful.
Only the last like right next time noticed anything and not until the second shot atleast. Subtle and fast is the way it seems
Based what the fuck this is real? He wasn't just a professional hitman?
I mean it still could've been, making it seem like he was some kind of folk hero would be a pretty good cover, but doing so would also be incredibly poor optics considering you're just reinforcing everyone's hatred of healthcare providers. That's assuming it's a competitor.
IMO who knows, who cares? He's already a legend and I'll take it.
Allow me to play unqualified detective here: this seems too risky for a professional hit. Faking suicide seems a lot safer. Why risk doing it in public in front of witnesses and potentially in front of cops? NYC is crawling with cops on every corner, plus all the cameras everywhere. Why wouldn’t they Epstein him or you know…he accidentally “falls out a window?” Or even poison?
I think vigilante is most likely because the shooter did not have access to the victim the way a pro hitman probably would.
yeah true, if they just wanted the guy dead for business reasons they definitely wouldnt have wanted a huge news story
Right. I’m thinking of the Boeing whistleblowers. That was a big news story and clearly a professional hit job but there’s still plausible deniability. Whereas when you shoot someone on the street in Manhattan, there is no question of it being a homicide. That plus the bullet casings points to the shooter wanting it to be a huge story. And if you’re hiring a hitman, you don’t want a huge police investigation. Obviously with a “suicide” there will be a death investigation but the way the shooter carried this out pretty much guaranteed FBI involvement. I would think hitmen on a corporate payroll would want to avoid that.
Good work, Agent 47, it is time for extraction
Shout out to the hexbears who correctly guessed he was shot in the calf first and couldn't move
Shoot em in the legs 
Where is the full video? I can’t find one that doesn’t cut out before the shots are fired.
lol, insurance CEOs going to be looking over their shoulder moving forward
I hope they'll see a guillotine blade when they do.
"the motive remains unclear"
They lie, knowing the motive is to annihilate the ghouls that enforce this system of needless suffering on us all, and knowing that it won't be long until we come for them too
Buy the book.
Mail copies to health insurance execs.
Bullet flies through the sky, I've been Riddlerfied. Reading Rainbow!
Given how good the guy was at shooting an unarmed civilian I was kinda thinking it was a dirty cop which would indicate the hit theory.
However, with all this I am leaning more towards ex-military disgruntled type. I dunno. Cause you can get good at using a gun but getting good st shooting people feels like a diffrent skill to me.
I really think anyone who was big into firearms or a professional hitman probably would have tested their setup first and made sure the gun cycled with the ammo and suppressor
This seems like someone who read up on shit online and bought it but did not practice with it
One could also test their setup and understand that the gun needs to be cycled manually and be prepared to do that. Not a big deal if your target is unarmed.
The way he actioned the gun after the first shot seems very practiced, it's only between 2 and 3 he seems to have trouble. Even then he clears it quickly enough for the third shot.
I think he already knew the gun with silencer and subsonics wouldn't action automatically.
Probably is hard to find a range in NY to practice shooting a silenced gun. I still think the shooting a person and not freaking out after is hard work
there are plenty of wooded areas all over the state, wouldn't be too hard to find a secluded area to go shoot for a while
