Statistically, there were likely 4 more murders in NYC since this one, I'm sure they're investigating those just as thoroughly.

If he had killed any of us, the cops wouldn't give a shit.
Remember that.
And if you were in a bad situation, cops on the scene have a higher chance of killing you.

I love how they're using the full force of their resources to catch this guy, but a random murder they put two detectives on for a few months, shrug and close the case.
shrug and close the case
And every politician, every cop on the street Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite

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

They are wasting a lot of time and money and energy on this investigation
They obviously value some lives more than others. No surprise, of course.
What lives would those be??
It's a mystery!
Oh shit, a crime the cops actually have to solve, haha, can't just frame some poor sap this time gotta do some actual detective work. I hope they never catch him and the PD gets defunded. I know its NYC and they need cops but I think they could use a haircut at least
They can't even blame a brown or black person, this is SSS rank detective work and they are a one-legged Kickboxer in this match.

It's already been two and a half days. The longer they go without catching him the less likely it will be that they do.
The fact that they are issuing a wider manhunt seems to back that up.
Given the publicity, I'm sure that they'll catch a guy, but I'm skeptical that they'll catch that guy.
Hate to burst the bubble but this guy threatened the illusion that the billionaire class is untouchable. The ultra-rich are going to be leaning heavily on all the politicians and officials they helped put into position to ensure this guy gets caught no matter the cost, and ensure he's made an example of.
It might not be the NYPD or any other civil police department, but you can bet NSA & FBI leadership is getting multiple phone calls demanding they get involved and go over every piece of information related to the shooting they can get till they identify the killer. The ultra-rich won't let this one slide as one of their own was publicly murdered, so they won't stop at anything to ensure the killer's character is publicly murdered so that anyone who tries to copycat or get ideas can equally be ostracized as an outcast.
Even if they don't the guy, they'll still find a guy. The illusion of control must be maintained.

Jury nullification.
He's not getting a jury. They're going to cut him down and say he shot himself so his legacy will be that he was a coward . At least that will be the attempt but it seems like everyone will know better

By all means do. I can't wait to hear this man's story.
And good luck getting a conviction. Jury Nullification go brrrrr
Wouldn't that be something? If the people collectively decided, "Nah this is fine. This was reasonable."
I doubt it but that would be beautiful.

That moment when the Healthcare CEOs realize that no jury will convict their murderers in a country with more guns than people.

200 pics are big boy words.
That's at least 10 seconds of video footage at 20 FPS.
If they do find him, the prosecutors are going to have a hell of a time trying to weed out anyone interested in jury nullification.
Incorrect. You're in a social media bubble.
The average person who gets chosen for jury duty somehow won't know who this guy is despite reports on every media outlet. It blows my mind how oblivious those people can be.

If I asked every single person I’m on a first name basis with what jury nullification was I bet a large sum of money that none of them would have an answer.

Imagine what happens if they fail, and they can't even produce a fall guy?
The thing is, Americans know their police force is lazy and useless. We're all joking about all the murders that will go unsolved that have occurred since the CEO's death. Now, there's a real chance that their incompetence will be on full display. Is it really out of the question to think that they have become so impotent that someone could carefully plan and execute an assassination?

i bet this will become the first public example of the state surveillance being used to protect our oligarchy from us and; given the democrat's obstinacy when it came to constructive criticism during the election; americans will treat it as another nothing-burger like they did with the genocide and it'll become yet another nail in the coffin of the american empire's decline; besides the election, ukraine's defeat, afghanistan withdrawal, iraqi wmd's, etc.

Unfortunately, I've worked with a lot of republicans in my lifetime. Hating overpaid CEOs and thinking insurance is a scam are 2 of the only things I've seen republicans and democrats agree on. Good fucking luck convicting him.
So many resources spent for one dead white guy. I dont imagine every murder gets this much attention and expensive work done on it.

If the FBI and the NYPD don't have the footage they need within 1 week, their ability to catch the right guy will diminish, as CCTV feeds from across the country get overwritten. If the suspect can grow and keep facial hair it would probably be difficult to match against these images. They could request some from the bus centers in Atlanta, New York and every stop in between but there's only so much footage they'll be able to get their hands on, this person seems to know what they were doing and staying less identifiable in public.

I'm wondering if they're holding back on sharing extra pictures of him, because by now they must be aware that the likelihood of people helping him hide is super high
