    Sure, but the police are saying it was targeted. And it’s being reported all over. https://abc7news.com/shooting-man-shot-midtown-manhattan/15622426/

      Ah yes, the police. Impartial and unbiased I’m sure.

        Okay but not everything is a conspiracy either. It’s a developing story and it’s entirely plausible it was targeted.

            Or is that what they want you to believe about them wanting you to believe?

          Maybe it’s just me, but I would consider the theory that this was a targeted assassination to be conspiratorial thinking.

          Which is of course still plausible.

            He was a high level CEO of a company that alot of people have beef with. They used a silencer and Midtown is pretty wealthy and muggers don’t steal in those neighborhoods because they are very likely to be apprehended.

            It seems plausible that one of the people who has been fucked over by UnitedHealthcare got pissed enough to do something about it.

              And there’s enough of them that the odds of this not being targeted are, frankly, lower than the alternative.

        Stop being so angry, have a Snickers and run this through Google translate:

        https://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/amerikansk-topp-vd-skjuten-till-dods-pa-oppen-gata

        This is a Swedish national TV network news article about the murder.

        They also mention it being potentially targeted.
