I wonder if there is a sad story behind this about his wife or child dying because the insurance company f-ed him over?
Early days of course so who knows and I am obviously not saying that he was in the right even if it is true. But I kind of feel like this sort of thing was coming eventually.

Rest in piss. I wonder if this will make other CEOs think more carefully about their actions? Probably not, but it's nice to dream.

It's gonna be hard to find the shooter when millions of people have motive.

I honestly wonder if this is going to be a "ghost of Christmas future" moment for other CEOs. They won't actually reform of course, but seeing the public at large celebrating this has got to be a wake-up call.

Seems unlikely to me that anything good will come out of this.
Problem with that take is these people have way too much money, and way too little morals already. We're just going to see them with even more serious security, the kind of security that will strongly react to even perceived threats on little to know provocation leading to innocent people getting hurt or killed.
I see it as far more likey that some poor sap will end up getting gunned down for reaching into a coat pocket for their phone from this than CEO's will suddenly decide to buy us all the biggest turkey in the shop window.

I hesitate to assume this is some sort of corporate Punisher or even personal vengeance. It could easily be a lunatic who thinks the CEO was a Democrat vampire.

Apparent a lot less claims were deny today for some reason, what a mystery.

Fascinating. The shooter etched a message onto the bullet shell casings relating to coverage denial. Democratic vampire seems less likely of a motive.
