10. Humanity should not be thrown away. Additionally, some say the shooter appeared to be a professional

Which opens up other possibilities. Less likely — the motives may have been more complicated.

The casings say ‘deny’ ‘defend’ and ‘depose’. At first thought, would this mean deny and defend actions, and ’deposed’ like a king is deposed or toppled. But maybe it is like a deposition, which is to give evidence.

But if there is a 2nd CEO assassinated in plain sight, a different plot may exist. I am curious, did Putin have CEO’s killed when he built his oligarchy? Does killing one warn a thousand? If he is a professional, yet dropped a water bottle and energy bar wrapper and shell casings (intentionally, i bet, since they were labeled that way), then fingerprints could tie someone to the crime that is a useful fake villain.

No matter what, i feel deeply sorry for his family and friends, for any lives cut short. His children are probably at a terrible age for losing a father.

Most industries have a dark side, some have a very dark side, but i don’t judge anybody for working in them. Most people have a dark side, and mostly we humans don’t know what we are capable of or not capable of, for good or bad, until being tested. Could this man have stood up against the machine in which he built his career? I think people overestimate the freedom of CEOs, and i was told once, if you remove your finger from a cup of water, it just fills in as if you were never there.
