    I’ll take the W but I was thinking the same thing too that this is probably an organized crime hit. Sad to say your average american is less likely to take matters into their own hands because they want to “work hard” and become the boss themselves doing the oppressing.

      I’m going with just some guy whose family got denied coverage for cancer or something and they ended up dying. Not exactly politically motivated but ends in the same place so fine by me.

      the detail that the shooter used a suppressed pistol supports this, harder to see an angry guy out for revenge taking the time and effort to use a suppressor because they’re thinking about escaping the scene and want to draw less attention. certainly possible though

        i think people are reading too much into the suppressor. it’s definitely interesting, but lots of people have them, he could have just bought it a while ago because he thought it was cool.
