What's cool about America is that the NYPD are going to put like 10000x the effort into catching this Health Insurance CEO shooter than if he had just gunned down a random poor person, because the rich and powerful are inherently more important, and everyone understands that perfectly well.

They are offering a measly 10k reward for the shooter, which leads me to believe that the Attorney General really doesn’t want this case. It would be unpopular, and getting a conviction is incredibly unlikely since statistically building a jury that won’t be hung will be improbable.

So. Real. I lived in Colorado during the Jon Benet Ramsey murder. The same day, a 20-something hispanic woman was killed in the basement at the building where she was a super. Her father was offering rewards in the paper for information and begging police to investigate, paying reporters to cover...

I would disagree. If this turns out to be "politically motivated", if that's the correct term, it needs to be shutdown NOW. We can't afford vigilantes for real or imagined causes. We have ways to more effectively deal with our problems.

You're as bad as those you're against. It's no solution. Change the laws and demand politics to adhere to a human agenda and not a billionaire agenda. I think William Gibson once said that billionaires no longer think in human terms.

From what I was reading earlier it sounds like a well thought out and executed assassination! If-only we'd had such professionalism earlier this year... With all the gun-nutz we have in this country you'd think at least some of them would have some kind of serious professionalism...

Not that i'm advocating actual consequences to people-in-powers actions, heaven's-no we don't want any of that now!, how's that quote go "People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people." and yes these corporate-fascist oligarchs count as "government"
