    You raise some interesting questions. I haven't seen any sort of timeline published or the steps the killer took that morning, but it's possible that:

    1) The killer had an accomplice. Perhaps from the victim's family even. Or maybe he's attended these conferences before or got his hands on a schedule somehow.

    2) He could've simply called each hotel and asked to be connected to the victim's room. Or he could've had eyes on the killer the previous night(s).

    3) Hmm, good question. There appears to have been a lot of planning. Then again, the killer could've been targeting any number of high ranking execs and maybe this one was just unlucky. Or maybe someone within the company set him up??? Or maybe the victim was hacked???

    Lots of avenues to pursue...

    The Hilton Midtown is a pretty mediocre hotel. There are several 5 star hotels just a stone's throw away. I wouldn't have stayed in the Hilton either, I think.

    The person the killer was talking to on the phone, minutes before the shooting, was the one telling him where to be and when.

    Ah that's interesting. Also if Harris wasn't a black woman, she would've won the popular vote and perhaps the electoral college vote.

    Dang.
    So, this dude potentially got laid and then whacked a CEO. He had a busy week.
    I do not think next week will go so well for him.

    All joking aside.
    This was a horrible act, but no more horrible than the 1,000's of people that get killed on a daily basis.
    Too bad no one hears their stories accept on the local news.

    That's fair. Possibly he was walking over from the Peninsula or Plaza. Have they released what hotel Thompson was staying at?

    Shitty situation, but people are angry with the healthcare system.

    Aetna recently made me switch targetted therapy medications because of the price, and I'm currently dealing with horrible side effects while I figure out what dose my body can handle of this new med.

    The last med got me into remission. I have been cancer-free for two years, with minimal side effects once I learned the proper dosage through weeks of trial and error - which involved me going to the ER twice.

    You say Celebrated his death . . . no one did
    but
    Most people are like:
    “I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure,” - The Public

    To an extent people viewed his death like John Gotti's death . . . or Charles Manson
    No one can say they know that either of them actually pulled a trigger
    but they are seen as responsible for alot of death

    To some folx .. . . .this guy fits that description . . . .and saying "It's just business" is not an acceptable excuse

    Just give us a NATIONAL HEALTHCARE program - it is cheaper than what we are paying now.

    Proving once again you just don't get it. This had nothing to do with envying a rich guy.

    I'm no Columbo but,
    I'm thinking this is a dude who's family got effected by a declination or
    Someone on the board knew he was going to upset the apple cart before his scheduled legal testimony.
    I'm of the opinion there had to be someone close to the victim who knew exactly when he was headed outside so he threw a text to get the gunman to get ready. The dude seemed to know exactly when he was going to be there.

    Just my thoughts.

    The people in here who have expressed disgust at people not "feeling sad" about the death are the only ones who treat the people they vote for as a sports team they cheer for.

    There is like one actual poster who acts as a legitimate "fan" of Biden in the sense of cheering for him like a sports team and that's @astros123


    All the people who attach their identity to to the political party they vote for are the ones who can't find it in their heart to say a mean thing about Trump outside of trivial things

    The odds of a health insurance CEO donating to the Democrat party is high because the Democrat party and the Republican party are effective protectors of the current private health insurance scam. So ya health insurance CEO appreciates both parties. Hell I'm sure health insurance CEOs loved the ACA health insurance mandate. "You mean to tell me you guys passed a law that makes citizen have to pay tax penalties if they don't buy one of our scam health insurance products? Hell ya brother. Thanks Obama"


    If you want to know why Harris lost or why Trump won its because of this dynamic where both parties are protectors of the status quo shareholder/executive class extracting wealth at the expense of a healthy society where everyone knows it deep down but one side says "stay the course, everything will be fine. Protect the institutions" and the other side acknowledges the distrust of said institutions, hatred of the status quo but says that your struggles with our current economic system is the fault of migrants, urban minorities, trans people, Muslims etc. So one side is giving them groups of people to blame which means they are at least acknowledging there is suffering and built up resentment and hatred happening.

    the poster complaining the most about how "the left" is celebrating the murder is the same poster who made fun of paul pelosi when he was almost murdered in his own home and also accused him of being gay.
