Summary
The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the gunman who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The gunman, who arrived in New York City on November 24th, shot Thompson on December 4th outside a hotel hosting an investor conference.
Investigators believe the gunman, who concealed his identity with a mask, fled the city on a bus, leaving behind a backpack in Central Park.
If I had information about the gunman, which I don’t, I’d be genuinely nervous about calling it in because then I’d become enemy #1 in America.
$50k isn’t going to keep me safe from the mob that wants to turn on whoever rats this guy out.
Also, I have a suspicion that a jury will be more sympathetic to the gunman than the CEO, so why risk my safety?
I’m a broke bitch. And I had uhc insurance for around a year. They would deny almost any new prescription I would get for severe insomnia. They wanted to to pay like 400 bucks/month for belsomra. Even though i paid like 450/ month for said uhc coverage. I’ve had bcbs, bcbs of Oklahoma, kaiser and united and united was the worst by far. Bcbs is somewhat ok
If i saw or had info about the shooter, then no I didn’t. What guy? What gun? Nah fam my man’s tripped and fell on those bullets
some mcdonalds nigga in PA snitched lmao
oh good. little bitch just earned a fucking pizza party

So still less than a year’s salary for COL in most states that is barely enough for a down payment on most houses.
Nope. No one should grovel and sell each other out for pennies even if I know people will do it for less if desperate.
So they went from .02% to .14% of his yearly take 🤣. They must not care very much about finding this guy
Another way to look at it is them trying to pit everyone against each other. “How much money will it take to get the 99% to turn on one of their own?”
lol my first instinct with police is that even IF you snitched and they caught the guy, they probably wouldn’t pay you and weasel out with some fine print.
Or worse yet, it’ll be some shit like “Hm, how did you know it was him? What are you hiding citizen? Bend over for the cavity search!”
How much do they usually offer for a normal person’s murder I wonder.
Thoughts and prayers
Not much
Some things money cant buy.
The McDonald’s employee who reported him says otherwise.
Ong!
you could use that $50k to pay for one night at the hospital that your insurance won’t cover!
Or a few months of the medication that works for you but insurance will only cover the shittier alternatives.
Here’s some info about the gunman: He’s cute.
Now where’s my $50000?Friendly reminder for the future that Trump’s FBI won’t pay you. Only promise to.
a $50,000 reward
So the cost of an asprin, a bandaid, and 3 jellybeans in a US hospital?
Doesn’t even include ambulance ride. City EMS is out of network for UHC
We had to pay a $2500 fee for the ambulance because my spouse got hit-and-run by a car outside of the county that we live in.
Only if your not denied (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Hey, nobody ever claimed the FBI was good at doing its job.
Woah, the FBI is amazing at causing controversies, such as violating civil rights, unnecessary shoot outs, politicized investigations, and more!
Can someone give context, is this the same reward that’s given for the other about 800 murders that happen each year in New York or is that guy getting special rich guy privileges beyond his death?
I just checked the NYPD’s most wanted list:
- Of the 33 posted photos, 31 of them are black men, 1 is a white man, 1 is a car.
- The maximum payout on all of them is $3,500
… Please feel free to draw your own conclusions about this CEO manhunt.
What… did the car… do?
Human Trafficing.
The $3,500 is for the car, right?
The payout for every tip they have listed is $3,500, so at least they’re not singling the car out.
What do you think?
Very first thought I had.
I watched videos of the FBI and their technology, but apparently all it takes to avoid them is to leave your phone behind, cycle with monopoly money and wear common inconspicuous clothing that covers you up? The fuck happened
It turns out most if not all of the advanced policing technology that gets touted is, you know, lies. They just want you to believe you can’t get away with it. Just look at how many godawful propaganda CSI shows there are - how often do they rely on magic databases containing the location of every flower shop cross referenced by geolocation and joined to the magic database of endangered beetle habitat? That’s a real example btw, bones is a terrible show.
Having worked with the police, the #1 way to get away with a crime is to just not tell anyone you did it. That’s it, that’s the whole secret.
CSI:
“Enhance image! Enhance image! Enhance image! Enhance image! Enhance image! There! Whaddya know? That image looks just like that guy we already have in holding for being homeless”.And what people don’t understand is that if police choose NOT to use said technology because the case isn’t “worth” the money or they just don’t care.

Open Street Map has entered the chat
I wish it was that good. Hopefully someday.
Leaving your phone behind is a real killer for them
Would recommend not having a normal phone at all, graphene OS at minimum (sim or not is up to you)
Still leave it behind!
Duly noted, will not say anything incriminating here that the jandarma could catch but…
What’s this about monopoly money?
They supposedly found his backpack and it had a bunch of monopoly money in it lmao
This wont even pay for most surgeries that UHC denies regularly.
Maybe someone will talk when they offer better insurance coverage.
Also, many times reward money isn’t paid due to ‘reasons’, like “yeah you gave legid info which led to the arrest, but we got the same information through other channels too”. You get your reward money rejected like it’s your insurance claim.
Yeah people don’t realize they reject paying out reward money the same way insurance rejects paying to keep people alive.
You only get it if you directly lead to the correct arrest and that they feel they absolutely couldn’t have gotten the arrest any other way and they will always pretend they could have done it without you. It’s liberals after all.
Cops are liberals now?
“Hey guys, what if instead of a class war we just kept saying derogatory things about each other while the 1% laugh at us?”
How about liberals stop moaning when other members of the working class try to respond and get stuff done and they just complain that people didn’t elect a person to stop all the bad things from happening for them?
Who’s doing that? I’m not seeing that. All I’m seeing is you trying to shift the conversation from “billionaires bad” to “liberals bad” for no apparent reason which is exactly what the 1% want.
I’ve apparently pushed a button so I’m gonna assume you associate with the title.
Yeah I’m not gonna bother but the liberals are the people that didn’t let the US run a candidate that said anything bad about billionaires and sided with the economy, and have since after blamed people of minorities, and wine loudly when people point out their hypocrisy and lack of action.
The petite bourgeoisie won’t let us get even close to the real ones while they state we have to do things their way.
I’m fine with saying fuck billionaires and will be happy to keep working towards their end, I’m just not gonna hold my tongue about who isn’t on our side.
Yeah I’m not gonna bother but…
Procedes to bother for 3 paragraphs
I’m not black either, but if somebody randomly decided to blame black people for the system being bullshit I’d call that out too and tell them “you’re directing your anger towards the wrong people.”
Groups asking other people to put in the work to make them money or do their job faster? I mean the insurance companies that pretend to be helping people sure are and honestly how cops operate lately yes. Almost like they have unequal treatment of others based on how useful they think they are to society and it’s ability to generate more wealth?
Leaving it up for someone else to solve is very liberal if nothing else.
Could cops and billionaires be the problem?
No, the liberals are to blame.
