UnitedHealth CEO shot

What everybody seems to be missing is that it's a national story when a rich, white guy gets murdered in New York City.

People get murdered there every day. Just not rich ones.

Why do we care more when a rich one dies?

How many murders occur right in front of some major NYC hotel wide out there in the open as a general rule? Instead of let’s say in front of nobody or in some dark, back alley where the murderer’s ID is hard to notice? Or a drug deal gone bad or some gang-related murder?


I’ll also re-state another sad, yet all true element of how law enforcement works in most countries, not just the USA, when it comes to prostitutes, drug addicts, teenage runaways, pimps, pedophiles, sex offenders people living at the fringe, high-risk areas of society or crime-ridden areas, most homicide detectives aren’t going to exhaust major supplies to quickly solve a prostitute’s death because they or society views it as a very dangerous, potentially violent profession and there’s always a decent risk they’ll meet a freaky, dangerous, violent customer. I hate to say that but that’s the mentality a lot of law enforcement agencies have and it’s not just U.S. law enforcement, either.
