Chapter 1: Who was Brian Thompson and why was he targeted?
Because is that woman over there staring at him right now? It's fine. It's fine. The man is on a mission. He needs to get to the destination and everything else can be figured out once he gets there. He walks straight into the park in broad daylight. There's a group of girls in matching outfits wearing these plaid skirts. dancing to the K-pop group TWICE's song, Heart Shaker.
Really good song, by the way. They're filming a K-pop cover. A man walking through the park stares at him. He says, bro, I don't know if you should be doing this, but your life choice, I guess. What is that supposed to mean? Another citizen stops and points, he's the one, he's the one. And with that, the man in the green jacket, he starts smiling because that means he just won $50.
He is contestant number six in the lookalike contest for the shooter that killed Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. The man in the hood, the winner, he says, you know, it's so funny, I got no looks.
while i was coming from home to the park no looks until i got over here and now everybody wants a picture with me what does that mean no looks nobody looked at him strangely even though he matches the exact profile of a killer that's quote unquote on the run oh how is it that a man is shot and killed in the middle of manhattan in broad daylight he hasn't even been laid to rest yet the
shooter has yet to be caught technically a killer is on the loose and yet there is a look-alike contest for the killer i mean what could you have done so horribly in life that in death people are holding look-alike contests for the killer while the killer is still on the loose
There is a literal CCTV video of somebody shooting and killing the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, but most Americans are questioning, who really is the real victim here? Is it the one that was shot and killed? Or is it the shooter himself?

Chapter 2: What led to the lookalike contest for the shooter?
Not only that, they're sending NYPD officers to Atlanta, New Jersey, Connecticut. It's turning into a full-blown national manhunt. Officers stopped an entire train. They stopped a train dead in its tracks, searched it from top to bottom. Nothing of interest was found. I mean, they searched the entire thing. They had to rule out all of the train rats.
One NYPD spokesperson said, we are getting tips. It's helping. We are following up on every tip that's come in. which of course is what should happen in every single murder case, but it never happens unless that same someone is worth $50 million. So it goes without saying, New Yorkers feel like there's enough people looking for the suspect.
It probably felt like the entire force of the NYPD officers is out there, so why should New Yorkers help? They don't get paid enough for this. In fact, New Yorkers are out there purchasing the same jacket and the same backpack to the point where both are sold out.
netizens write it's a shame my healthcare doesn't cover vision because I didn't see shit another reads LMAO so they want us to play cop for free yeah no even when the FBI puts up a reward for $50,000 leading to the arrest and conviction of the backpack shooter and the NYPD is offering up to another $10,000 nobody wants to help instead social media comments read do we the people have to pay those FBI reward dollars why
Besides, can they not just narrow down the suspect? I mean, the police know that the suspect knew that United Health Group was holding an investor conference at the hotel that day. They knew what route Brian Thompson was going to take, which means this could be one of the many disgruntled employees that were laid off for profits, or it could be a customer of United Healthcare.
So that suspect list would include almost the entirety of the U.S. population, millions upon millions of people. But the NYPD want your help. And they say that backpack is going to be a treasure trove of evidence. That backpack, I mean, it could have the murder weapon in the backpack. It could have any other identifying information in the backpack.
This is going to be the big break in the case that they so desperately need. And they find the backpack in Central Park. They find it. The NYPD unzipped the backpack. They pull out the first item of interest, a Tommy Hilfiger jacket. They're like, what is that?
The backpack was just.
Sitting there, Central Park.
