We really need to be paying attention re: the UnitedHealth CEO being gunned down...

Does anyone know the rationale as to why the FBI is getting involved with a local murder in New York City?

I don't believe they do that routinely.

The shooter apparently crossed state lines to commit the crime???

🤔

I believe it was reported that the shooter took a bus from another state to New York State, and then took another bus out of New York State after the shooting.

I also suspect that the high national profile of the victim led to the FBI becoming involved.

🤔

Being dropped off at a bus station is prima facie evidence that an interstate crime has been committed? (I'm not saying the shooter did or did not do that btw).

I think it was probably because it was a high profile murder case.

I wouldn’t say it’s evidence that a crime has been committed, but if the FBI has evidence that the shooter is from another state and traveled to New York State, then the crime is “interstate”, which opens the door for the FBI to get involved, no???

Money talks.....can't have the rich being gunned down in the streets. It sets a terribly bad example. The workers must be kept in line!
 
The biggest change in the Republican Party was made by Nixon who changed it from a left-leaning position to a firmly right-wing party.
How? With domestic policy, Nixon as Republican president was certainly to the left of the Republican presidencies of Coolidge and Hoover. Coolidge's economics were like Reagan's. It was under Nixon's presidency that America's workers last had a real terms pay rise.

Institutions like the FBI are ultimately the stooges of the super rich capitalists. They don't see denying people medical cover as mass murder, but if a very rich health insurance CEO is killed then they pool all resources, since it sends a "bad message" if that murder goes unpunished. They are scared of working class people fighting back and uniting against the rich.

Absolutely. It's fine for the big companies and monopolies to kill off people en masses - toxic wastes, chemicals, derailments of trainloads of toxic chemicals or waste, poison in food, drugs that kill you - maybe they get fined, but that's just a cost of doing business. What SHOULD happen is every senior executive should be on trial for mass murder and executed.

Shouldn't be up to one person to take it upon themselves to carry out an extra-judicial killing on behalf of all of us.
 
How are you defining left and right here??? LOL

The GOP was NEVER left leaning, you couldn't be more full of shit if you tried.
You really need to look at the history of the Republican Party. Karl Marx himself was a pen pal of Abraham Lincoln, and was urging Lincoln to go further on the slavery issue, i.e. to not only oppose slavery's expansion westwards, but to abolish slavery altogether. The Republican Party in Lincoln's era, especially the Radical wing, believed in the abolition of slavery. The Radicals believed in the immediate abolition of slavery, and full suffrage and civil rights for the freed slaves. This in the 1850s-1870s, not the 1960s.

Factory workers in Manchester, England, famously refused to handle Confederate cotton, at great financial hardship to themselves, with Lincoln praising those workers. Lincoln often made speeches praising labor over capital, and Lincoln was from the Republican Party's moderate wing, who clashed with the Radical wing on several issues, as the Radicals felt Lincoln didn't go far enough. The Radicals wanted the Confederates suppressed totally after the civil war. Had that been done, Reconstruction would have been a success and no Jim Crow.

Several decades later, Theodore Roosevelt had a reputation for trust busting, and he was later Richard Nixon's political idol, i.e. the strongman standing above society, and mediating between government, big business and the masses. In the 1920s, the Republican Party took a massive turn to the right economically, especially with Coolidge and Hoover as president. In the latter years of Hoover's presidency, the US public were very angry as the Great Depression destroyed their living standards, and big business and capitalism was blamed. Democrat president Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal was aimed at saving capitalism from itself.

Let me guess — you actually only want brown-skinned executives executed.

The mainstream media and the ruling class don't see the denial of healthcare cover, causing hardship and death, all in the name of shareholder profit, as mass murder. They see the shooting of Brian Thompson as murder though, despite he being one of the people profiting off of the denial of healthcare, causing death and financial misery to Americans.

When President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Nixon campaign advisor Kevin Phillips and RNC Chairman Lee Atwater admitted appealing to white resentment to civil rights and white racism. They did so not only by criticizing federal civil rights legislation and impugning federal desegregation orders, but by railing against busing, government dependency, and welfare, or by espousing such seemingly race-neutral ideas as “states rights” and “local control” as signals to preserve Jim Crow from federal intrusion.

That was when Trump was a Democrat, he also followed the dog whistle to the GOP.

Yes I'm aware of this unironic comedy.

The Republican Party in Lincoln's era, especially the Radical wing, believed in the abolition of slavery.

Yes......hopefully they get back to that and restore private property and individual labor rights.

Shittenhouse got away Scott free, why not this guy?
 
I hope that by "individual labor rights," you do not mean anything along the lines of "right-to-work"

Those are just a small facet of it. But yes an individual right to your own labor. The individual owns their own labor, not the state, not the union, not society...the individual, REAL CAPITALISM. :D (y) (y) let the commie skid marks STARVE TO DEATH.
