Oh no. What if they never find him? What if this poor, sweet, humble, *checks notes* absolute monster of a healthcare CEO never gets justice.
Narrator: but he already got justice.

If he planned this much and they don't know his names homie is long gone by now
Those discarded items might not even have his DNA on them. Everyone knows about DNA evidence nowadays, if he's really on the ball it'd be easy enough to pick up some random decoys.

You know the rich are shitting their pants over this. It's gotta be like a David and Goliath thing for them. It'd be a great time to start a private security company.
It'll fade. Unless...
It happens every three months or so. With escalating difficulty. All they way to being found dead alone in their office. Then slow down to every 18 to 36 months. That's when they'd be scared enough to actually change corporate policies.

As much as I would totally hate to see the average board room turned into a kindergarten classroom: Not gonna happen. Just expect to see more stories about security guards "roughing people up" and more cops told to bring a spare piece and a dime bag to the site of a self defense shooting when one of the roid fiends unloads on someone for looking at them funny.
I'm sure Academie (or whatever they're calling Blackwater these days) and the Pinkertons are about to see a lot of new business.

Good for him. Hope they never catch him.
It would be good for him if they never catch him, but if they do, and he is sentenced to death as would be expected, his last words could greatly magnify the historical impact of his act, as with the anarchist/labor martyrs of the early 20th century.
That is, unless the media deliberately suppress what he actually said and report his last words as “skibidi toilet” or a declaration of undying love for some Jodie Foster analogue or something, thus proving that the shooter was nuts, as anyone who had a grudge against America’s healthcare providers would have to be.

Even avoiding airports, he could be on the other end of the country by now.
Isn't there's something where if the police don't find a suspect in the first few days, they probably won't? May not apply when the case has this much attention and the police are motivated.
"The first 48 (hours)" is misleading.
First, it is mostly a function of how much the cops care. If they care about finding someone they will get off their asses. If they don't, they will just procrastinate and ignore it. This is why you have stories of families frantically trying to get any help at all to find their loved one that was written off as "a junkie" or "a slut".
Second, it matters more when you are dependent on grocery store security cameras and the like that might only have 24 hours of capacity anyway. Less so when you are relying on train stations and bus stations that got all that 9-11 money.
Third? The cops likely already have all they need to identify him. He was allegedly tracked to having got on a bus in Atlanta. They have a few photos of his face. And basically everyone is in the DMV databases. That gives a general tri-state area (possibly an outright car if they check long term parking for the period he was away) and they can narrow that down by employment status (taking a few weeks off to go off grid is not something a Starbucks barista is allowed to do) and even UHC records to see who was denied a claim in the past few years (fortunately THAT doesn't narrow shit down at all).
So they can eventually find him. It is inevitable.
That said: This is the cops. The first white guy who looks vaguely like the shooter and who has no alibi will be heroically killed by the cops when they went to ask him questions and he opened fire while screaming "I am the guy who killed the UHC CEO and I feel really really bad about it and only did it because I am woke and hate my life and please forgive me officer but I will never be taken alive. Also I am pro illegal immigrants and am spraying fentanyl around in case any cops piss hot after this.". Also he had a dime bag of weed on him for some reason. Sorry, half a dime bag.

I had to turn off ne2s when they were saying it's now a multi state manhunt and it's important to keep this in the public eye.
I was like good point, let me stop watching.

Probably pan-fried fish - I always put out an extra placemat in case I have a visitor I'll be unable to recall any details about in the morning though.
Awhhh that sounds awesome. I should have thawed the salmon. Probably just some box potstickers and rice, maybe some edamame if I feel like getting the steamer out.
Is it time to update the phrase to "If you see someone gun down a CEO, no you didn't!"?
What’s better than a dead CEO?
Two.
What do you call one dead CEO?
A good start.
