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.

        Well, there was that guy who took a pot shot at Trump, so if you count that, we’re already at two…

          You make it sound like he didn’t successfully shoot him. Honestly if trump wasn’t so goddamn fidgety on stage I think he would be dead right now.

            successful

            Even your second sentence implies that he wasn’t. Not in his goal anyway.

      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.
