Well, how in the heck do you think I found out?
I was just trying to save other people the trouble.
I apologize if that offended you for some reason.

America's top internet sleuths have refused to help law enforcement officials track down the assassin of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The 50-year-old father-of-two was gunned down earlier this week, with the footage of his assassination circulating on social media amidst an ongoing manhunt for his killer.
Typically this type of high-profile violent crime sets platforms including TikTok and X alight with buzz, with amateur internet sleuths hunting to root out the perpetrator.
But many armchair detectives have decided to keep schtum, even as eerie details filtered out earlier this week including a hidden message being left on shell casings at the scene.
One of those who opted to stand aside is Savannah Sparks, who has 1.3 million followers on TikTok.
Sparks tracks down the identities of racists who are caught in viral videos, and according to NBC has been tapped by law enforcement to help train officers on finding suspects online.
When asked by the outlet if she was working to find the suspect in Thompson's murder, she said: 'Absolutely the f*** not.'
Fellow TikTok sleuth, thatdaneshguy, who boasts 2 million followers on his platform posted a video of him being critical of the health care industry.

No Problem.
The FIB has their “Best Men” on the case...

What does schtum mean in British slang?
...to not say anything about something...
The Alt Left clown posse really is without any ethics or morality. Now you know how the Nazis got people to run the Eisengruppens and staff the death camps.
Not very sporting to use your post as a teaser so your victims still have to click on the link to find the answer to the question posed by your headline.
Are you completely incapable of looking up something on the internet? It took me all of five seconds to find out what it meant.
And from Google:
AI Overview
“Schtum” is a slang term that means to be silent or dumb, especially in the phrase “keep schtum”. It can also be used as a noun in the idiom “keep/stay schtum”. For example, “The actress is keeping schtum about who she’s dating”.
The word “schtum” comes from Yiddish and is derived from the German word stumm, which means “silent”. The earliest known use of “schtum” was in the 1950s.
“this guy is probably antifa...”
Naw, he’s too nice looking for antifa. My bet is that he loves/loved someone who was denied health coverage.

To not say anything about something.
That, however, is a close approximation.
to be silent or dumb
Bringing in a murderer suspect to face the legal system is not helping the Deep State.
so the cambridge dictionary wasn’t very Schtum about the word lol
“The FIB”
Yep that is what it is...the FIB
I hope that “Karen” never comes forward because he/she will not be popular on social media.
Re “… Typically this type of high-profile violent crime …”
Why is this man’s death any more “ high-profile” than an “ordinary” citizens death, which happens every day in a hundred places? Because of his job?
People - anyone - being murdered diminishes us all.
” My bet is that he loves/loved someone who was denied health coverage.”
That is what my feelings are. He did this like he had nothing to lose. Like maybe he had already lost whatever he loved?
Some here think the wife had something to do with it but I agree with you.
