    In addition to looking for the killer, police are still searching for a motive as to why someone would kill Thompson.

    This is definitely where they need to focus their resources first.

      Honestly? Yea probably. It’d be fucking amazing if the police ended up releasing a report on just how much UHC fucked this guy or his family/friends over.

      It’s clear they haven’t even given it a first look. The guy put the title of the book on the bullet casings

      Yes. It is extremely bizarre how something like this could happen.

      Especially since the president elect already said he could do the same thing one block over, four years ago

      I mean for all we know it has nothing to do with healthcare premiums. The guy could be a fellow board member who got boned out of a bonus or something.

        The message on the bullets would suggest otherwise. To me that seems like an attempt to preempt speculation that the motive had nothing to do with insurance company fuckery.

          Could just as easily be a red herring.

          I mean, most likely it isn’t internal insurance drama, but it could be.

          Besides, how amazing would it be for the cops to say “yeah so we researched this and it was definitely a retaliation execution for all the lives he murdered in his quest for money and power”. Talk about putting the billionaire class on alert haha

          Tbf, that’s the largest pool of potential suspects, so it makes sense that they’d want to call police attention in that direction regardless of the actual motive. I do think it’s genuine, but it’s a smart move either way
