He was a terrorist, and he got what he deserved.

The anti hero does not negotiate with the terrorist.

He Obama'd this Osama.

According to NY legal code, it is not murder if:

The defendant acted under the influence of extreme emotional disturbance for which there was a reasonable explanation or excuse, the reasonableness of which is to be determined from the viewpoint of a person in the defendant's situation under the circumstances as the defendant believed them to be.

this is where jury nullification comes in.

This was easily more popular than either candidate in the last election. They should make it a national holiday.

It sounds to me like a professional hit. The guy used a silencer and when his gun jammed he cleared the jam and got off a couple more shots. I'd be willing to bet $1 that this is a rich investor on rich CEO hit because the guy sold his stocks without disclosing to investors that the company was under investigation for massive fraud causing the investors to lose massive amounts of money when the story broke in the press.

Serious tinfoil but this theory is about as valid as the current narrative.

We just don't know why this happened, we just know that it it did.

What we are getting from media is dead exec and bullets with words... everything else is just online discourse making up theories or cheering dead exec.

No that i can't about either (i don't cry over bad things happening tot bad people when country is full of decent people getting fucked over) but story is developing. People can hate this PoS and he could have been killed by some oligarch.

Except that after the drop when the investigation was made public, it's doing better than it was just prior to the announcement.

So unless an investor decided to sell at its lowest point, which is unlikely, they've actually made money since that news came out

Maybe that's the play.

Law enforcement officials told NBC News they found the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose,” written on the shell casings found at the shooting scene. Those words seem to echo the title of a 2010 book, “Delay Deny Defend,” whose subtitle is, “Why insurance companies don’t pay claims and what you can do about it.”

Sounds personal.

And what kind of a pro assassin goes to Starbucks before doing the hit and then rides off into the sunset on an ebike?

"Compassion withheld until documentation can be produced that determines the bullet holes were not a preexisting condition,” one user responded.

I love the "alarming experts" part.
