Summary
The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the gunman who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Investigators believe the gunman, who concealed his identity with a mask, fled the city on a bus, leaving behind a backpack in Central Park.

Or they’ll make sure they don’t get him alive, like they did with Michael Reinoehl.

It’ll send a message to the masses that you won’t get your day in court for crimes against the ruling class, but you will still get a sentence… a bullet.
