An unknown man walked up behind Brian Thompson, a CEO of the largest health care company in the US, and shot at him 5 times. Withing seconds, a fine man is dead on the ground.
That is pretty much what we know. Much of the rest is guesswork. We do know one or two other things, but in truth the police can only guess that it is all directly related. The man on the electric bike might not be the killer, though if not, might be a planned decoy. To a degree, he does seem to have too conveniently spotted.
I know, here I go with the conspiracy theories again. However, there is one more fact that cannot be overlooked. The gunman has, at least temporarily escaped. This is in spite of all the cameras in NY, NY.
They are guessing at how the shooter arrived and how he left. The point is, by this time, the man might be in almost any part of the world. No one knows who he is. Know one even has a good description.
On the other hand, he might be just a few miles away, hiding in the sea of humanity. NY, NY is a good place to hide considering there are over 8 million people there, he might could hide there for decades.
I don’t like the idea that a man can and has done this. However, the fact of the matter is, it has happened. We like to think we will find him. However, unfortunately, we may never know. The murder was apparently well planned and followed. They might have his DNA…good. However, they might not have anything to compare it to. Moreover, it is all academic if he is in Timbuktu.
It does remind me of another murder. Apparently the killer was Oswald. Apparently, he didn’t plan his killing nearly as well. They captured him in, what, an hour or two. At the time, they had no cameras as NY, NY does today.
To be sure, there were many who witnessed it. To be sure, there were, who knows how many, law enforcement officers in the area. Yet, when you come right down to it, it is easy to see that Oswald had no escape plan. Clearly, if there was a plan, it was to just run like crazy.
It is the primary reason that I think Oswald was not acting alone. That is, of course, assuming he was the one who shot Kennedy in the first place. There is another reason I have my questions. The evidence has been locked up in a vault and no one is allowed to see it for over half a century. People usually don’t hide stuff when they have nothing to hide.
Going back to, Brian Thompson. I hope they find and convict the killer. However, the longer it takes, the more I am likely to believe, his only justice will be God’s. That justice is more certain than that of man’s.
