While it’s very unlikely that someone has a definitive answer, this question popped into my head after the assassination of the UHC CEO and it’s been bothering me that I can’t shake off this feeling that more is likely to happen (maybe not in higher frequency but potential).

Usually I could provide counter-arguments to myself in a realism/(should I buy apples or oranges comparison) kind-of sense but this one I feel more unsure about.

I wish I had more diverse exp in systems analysis as these kinds of questions that linger in my head really irritates my OCD brain as I just want to know what’s the most likely answer.

    Feels too good to be true. It’s only one shooting.

    Now if some second evil CEO were unfortunately victimized, I might be tempted to call it a trend…

      two is just a mere coincidence; but three would be the start a pattern or trend.

      But is it? This same year a kid was an inch or two away from making a bullet enter Trumps brain.

      He’s not the CEO of a healthcare company, but he’s certainly at the helm of many companies, and will soon be president of the states.

      I feel like victimized is the wrong word for someone reaching the find out part of fucking around.
