‘Person of interest’ in custody over UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting: NYPD

He can still go free - he can still be found not guilty! (even if they keep him behind bars for a long time)

By a worker? I thought for sure this would be some self-righteous customer 😑 fucking class traitor
- Apperently it was an "elderly patron":

I smell parallel construction. You expect me to believe a McDonald's employee called in the shooter just off the shitty photos? The chances of that are astronomically low.
Sounds like that is definitely the guy :/ Im surprised they didnt suicide him right away.
- Especially since he apparently had a weapon on him. Of course, he is a white Ivy League student. They probably were afraid he was a rich.
  
  I believe I read his parents do have money. The suspect...not the shooter. They may still be two different people.

- First they have to find a jury of people that doesn't have views on the health insurance industry that would cloud their judgement 🙄
Following the death of their CEO, lots of anecdotal evidence of healthcare suddenly improving across the country. If true, it could be that Luigi did a tremendous amount of good for everyone. A jury would be wise to remember the big picture.
Several doctors and US residents have taken to social media in recent days, simultaneously condemning the killing while reciting incidents in which they felt insurers had unfairly denied treatment claims.
They're gonna try like hell to make us forget that last part.
Meanwhile, his Twitter account conveniently reveals him to be a far-right incel. Which may be true, though if you were Musk and wanted to secure a conviction, making him look like a creepy extremist would do the trick.
- We've seen the dude's pretty eyes and smile. If he's celebate, it's voluntary
