7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

It's already been two and a half days. The longer they go without catching him the less likely it will be that they do.
The fact that they are issuing a wider manhunt seems to back that up.
Given the publicity, I'm sure that they'll catch a guy, but I'm skeptical that they'll catch that guy.
Hate to burst the bubble but this guy threatened the illusion that the billionaire class is untouchable. The ultra-rich are going to be leaning heavily on all the politicians and officials they helped put into position to ensure this guy gets caught no matter the cost, and ensure he's made an example of.
It might not be the NYPD or any other civil police department, but you can bet NSA & FBI leadership is getting multiple phone calls demanding they get involved and go over every piece of information related to the shooting they can get till they identify the killer. The ultra-rich won't let this one slide as one of their own was publicly murdered, so they won't stop at anything to ensure the killer's character is publicly murdered so that anyone who tries to copycat or get ideas can equally be ostracized as an outcast.
Even if they don't the guy, they'll still find a guy. The illusion of control must be maintained.
Do you think they’ll let him get in front of a jury or will they kill him before they bring him in?
They'll kill him and make it look like he went crazy and turned a gun on them or something and it was their only option.
Or he'll get Epstein'd.
Or he'll mysteriously fall from a high balcony.
"I want him dead or guilty!'
The dude that got shot wasn't a billionaire, not even close. With a net worth of $54 million he's just as much of a peasant to them as we are.
He wasn't a billionaire, but he was filthy sticking rich, and made his money by causing untold stress and harm on other people.
I mean his company was already notoriously evil when he was just a high-ranking executive. But he took the helm, and wanted more money by being crueler than that.
Fine, he was a bad dude, but a millionaire getting shot doesn't "shatter the illusion that billionaires are untouchable" any more than you or me getting shot would
I think you might be wrong there. How much conversation was happening a week ago about actually killing rich folks? I saw it occasionally here on lemmy in the form of 'eat the rich.' Out in my meatspace conversations though? Never. There might have been a grumble once a year, or they might agree with a statement about the elite political and financial class not caring about harm done to anyone else. In the last few days, even my normiest of normal friends has been talking about it, even if not directly. Most of the comments aren't putting the rich in a positive light either.
This event has sparked a great deal of thought about death and taxes.
Even if they catch him and hang him, it doesn’t mean that he didn’t accomplish his goal.
If you’re trying to show your untouchable, revenge won’t prove that.
Taking out another CEO would, tho.
