4. Focused and cold blooded

Wonder if he said anything to Thompson when he walks up after that first shot.

2. Classic rub out. Looks like something from "The Godfather."

3. So he knew about the DOJ investigation

And dumped stock before regular investors and the public knew.
Yeah...that would piss me off.
But who could ever have thought the CEO of a company that makes it's profit off of denying care to desperate people would be capable of such scumbaggery?

11. Seems the insider trading

was settled out of court.

Maybe he was ‘cooperating’ to avoid charges.

Dumped cell phone indicates to me there was a spotter on the inside.

14. Well, to my layman's eye

I get the impression a very capable person hired another very capable person to do something. And it got done, as it were.
Seems like an aggrieved customer would have paused to say a few words over the body, but this customer slid away smoothly.

5. Looks like there were at least 2 witnesses. Hope they catch this fucker.

7. One was a guy just drinking his coffee

What a way to start the day.

6. The assassin is a very cool customer

He very calmly moved through the hit. Never rushing even when the gun malfunctioned. Also, what's not concerned about an eyewitnes just an arms length away.

I could be wrong but I don't think this was the gunman's first time.

8. Gun malfunction might indicate he's an amateur. Edit below...

Scrolling Xitter, the gun humpers seem to think the use of a suppressor (silencer) and low velocity rounds requires the next round to be manually cycled.

Might be that this was a pro hit.

[sarisataka]

12. That would make sense

He appeared to be manually cycling the gun after each shot

9. Maybe it's the same person that planted the bomb in DC before 1/6/2021

eom

10. Looked like there was a silencer on the gun.

13. What would be the point of a silencer for a gun used in public?

15. Decreasing the sound profile can increase confusion among eyewitnesses and save seconds on a getaway.

18. Ah, thank you.

17. We have been for years.
