Episode 407: United Healthcare CEO Shot In Public, But Nation Wants Killer Freed: EVERYTHING We Know So Far
The man in the olive green jacket is ready. Today is the day. He’s nervously walking through the crowd of New Yorkers to get to his destination.
The last thing he needs is to get stopped by anyone - especially the NYPD.
Wait… is that woman staring at him?
As he makes his way into the busy park - he takes notice of the girls in matching plaid skirts dancing to K-Pop group Twice. They’re filming a cover of their song HeartShaker.
Another man passes by him muttering -
“Bro, idk if you should be doing this but your life choice I guess?”
Another citizen points and squeals -
“He’s the one! He’s the one!”
With that.. the man in the jacket smiles. He is contestant number 6 in the lookalike contest for the shooter that killed Brian Thompson. The CEO of United Health Care.
This man just won $50.
How is it that a man is shot and killed in the middle of Manhattan in broad daylight, his body hasn’t even been laid to rest yet, and the shooter is still on the run… and yet.
There is a lookalike contest for the killer?
What could you have done so horribly in life, that in death, people are holding lookalike contests for your killer?
Most Americans have been asking themselves this past week - who really is the true victim here?
Is it the one that was shot and killed?
Or is it the shooter himself?
Or is it all of us?
