Wow no compassion for this man
1:43 I don't think anyone thought it was anything else?
Light skin ? Looks white too me .
This was definitely a planned murder….
This ain’t the one to be asking for help
On
I doubt the public is going to help much. Make it 10 million.
Idk people are saying what i initially thought thought which was that someone was angry bc they were denied coverage or a close family member passed bc they were denied BUT its just really odd that they would know the CEO was in NY and at that hotel. That's not something that just anyone would know so who knows it could've been someone close to him, wanted his position or even his wife that ordered a hit for insurance money never know.
I guess we can assume that every murder in New York City is handled with this many resources.
They started the meeting ON TIME! even the shareholders didn't care about him!
$10,000 don’t even cover my hospital bills
John Wick style. Excommunicado. Americans are fed up with high level corruption, ahem, Democrats. Day of reckoning is upon you…
That's city is a ghetto, right now is worst than when Al Capone was in the scene… Don't go there…
Now the NYPD cares about murder
If the guy is smart, then he disappeared from NYC hours ago. But then again, someone who drops a candy bar wrapper and a cell phone when doing something like this, is probably not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Free kay flock
my job offered me that insurance, I refused it.. too expensive for PPo. and now i see this. these insurance companies only want money and does not have clear policies of how much they will cover you
And Adams says New York shitty is safe??? He's so full of it.
Wait i thought New york is a "Gun Free zone"? why did that criminal not follow the rules?
UHC denies more insurance claims than any other company. Isnt this how the French Revolution started…..
On a personal level, may he rest in peace and I do feel the same sorrow every father, son, daughter, wife or husband feels when loosing a loved one.
On a business level and possible motive, I wonder how many claims that company has declined since he became a CEO? Someone should know, right?
PARA UNA INVESTIGACION SE COMIENSA DE RAIS….DESDE EL ESTADO DEL PAIS DONDE EL VIVIO ANTES DE LLEGAR A LA CIUDAD DE NEW YORK.
Y SE COMIENSA CON LA FAMILIA ..LOS VECINOS…Y SUS EMPLEADOS DONDE EL TRABAJABA.

Could this gun man be a hit man? He knew where he was staying, had a Burner phone left for cops, city bike for get away, grey backpack for gun. Did the investors raise the money for the victim? sounds like a planned hit so go see the tree lighting because police know it was a hitman not a gun man…
All Im gonna say is that wealth inequality is worse now than before the French Revolution. I truly dont know what these rich assholes that condemn people so sickness, disability, and death expected.
Light skin ppl aren’t white watch he get away dummies
NYPD, "We're looking for Paul Kersey."
Hey ABC, why don't you report on people like me who died or almost died from an illness because health insurance was denied?
They described him as "light skinned". The shooter was clearly of Caucasian persuasion. Stop the 🐂💩. That description will have every light skinned Black person and Hispanic person harassed and questioned by overzealous pigs. WTF!
Love the quake in the ABC host's voice at the intro. Hmmm….wonder why she's nervous?
Ain’t nobody helping
That Geico lizard layin' low right now, son. 🦎
As a UHC member I can honestly say that when I heard the news my first thought was "Someone finally had enough". I'm inclined to think most UHC members had the same reaction.
Light skin male 😂😂😂😂 where! That man is white
“We are asking the public for your help”
Why should the public help? the public are the ones getting bent over by these insurance companies. These companies are ruthless with NO mercy at all
It Trump we’re in office, they’d find a way to blame him for this. Guaranteed
