The media covering this like it was the President who was shot. Americans would actually care if that were the case, but an evil, corrupt, CEO who sold stock knowing his company was about to be under DOJ investigation? No one has much sympathy and the public won’t be of much help to the police on finding the shooter. That’s the reality of the world we are in. People seem to have rallied around this, both from the left and the right.
It’s day three. There’s really no excuse now. The social media managers have seen the response.
Every single video posted has almost the entire comment section calling out both the ceo and the news.
Why aren’t you acknowledging how clearly evil the ceo was and how the public is glad he is gone?
Why aren’t you talking about why you are so focused on this one unaliving rather than any other?
That dude has a really nice 300.dollar camera bag and a postol/supressor definitely not a broke guy
He’s gone.
It was not a Welrod pistol. Welrods are operated with a twisting movement as you open the chamber, turn the gun over and drop out the spent shell and reload. THE POLICE ARE WRONG. Talk to Ian McCollum from the YouTube channel, Forgotten Weapons. He is an expert on guns who has traveled to Europe to demonstrate exotic weapons and has fired thousands of guns. He has fired both Welrods and their reproduction, the BT-5. He has already published a corrective short on YouTube explaining his opinion. He believes that the gun was a regular semi-automative badly assembled with a badly made silencer, perhaps. But whatever it was, those were jams that you see on the video that he had to clear between every shot. That is why they found at least one unfired round along with the spent cartridges. If the NYPD wants to continue looking for the wrong weapon, so be it. But undoubtedly, any recovered DNA was from the shell casings. And he exposed his face to the CCTV cameras in NYC.
