  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Everyone's assuming that this was a patient who was denied coverage or family member of a patient who was denied coverage, the thing is this sort of person will have made enemies in the corporate world as well.

For all we know this was a professional hit.

Unlikely. Dude literally went to a Starbucks before the shooting and wrote a message in the bullets. That doesn't scream "professional" too me

Detectives investigating the shooting reportedly found shell casings with the words 'depose', 'deny' and 'defend' inscribed on them.

I just wanted to say it gave me a chuckle how it sounded like you meant he wrote on the bullets at Starbucks. Like it was just a thought that occurred to him and he needed a place to sit down and write on them with a sharpie he borrowed from the baristas.

He could have for all we know! He seems like the kind of guy who would put some real thought into writing his Christmas cards :>
