Guys, this United Healthcare CEO assassin story is getting out of hand.

You cannot make up this content. It’s writing itself. I can’t help but giggle.

To recap: it seems the NYPD is either clueless or not really interested in pursuing the shooter as they’ve posted several pictures of him that are objectively not the same person in the video where Brian Thompson is killed.

Social media has been having an absolute heyday sharing class-conscious sentiments around our healthcare system.

New developments:

  • NYPD found that the shell casings had “defend, deny, depose” written on them

  • The shooter’s backpack was found containing monopoly money

  • Macy’s included the jacket the gunman was wearing in their current sale and it almost immediately sold out using discount code FRIEND

  • Women and men alike are posting all over socials about how attractive this unidentified man is and wishing him a safe getaway

Silliness aside though, a man lost his life and that’s quite sad for his loved ones. RIP. 🙏
