It put the fear of God in them.
Think about it. This sniper could have done this any time but he chose that time and place when there were cameras everywhere. He wanted the world to see that happen. Very few seem to care that Thompson is dead and in fact are celebrating. I’d be willing to be they are helping that sniper escape if they did see him.
I also predict that there will be a copycat one in the next several months.
At the very least, other “healthcare” CEOs must be noticing that rejoicing and mocking is rampant.
To me, this guy was no better than a thug who holds up a person or carjacks; got what’s coming to him and to everyone with decision making authority in that company for every single time a legitimate claim is denied or delayed.
“I also predict that there will be a copycat one in the next several months.”
Even more creepy. How are they sure THIS guy is finished? Does he have other targets. He doesn’t seem pro. Seems like he’s on a mission with the message on the casings.
Maybe his mission isn’t finished yet....
What makes you think this guy is through? He might just be out there shopping for a better functioning gun before he goes for target #2.
