A grainy image of his face drew comparisons to Hollywood heartthrobs. A jacket similar to the one he’s wearing on wanted posters is reportedly flying off the shelves. And the words written on the bullets he used to kill a man in cold blood on a sidewalk on Wednesday have become, for some people, a rallying cry.
Four days after a gunman assassinated a top health insurance executive in Midtown Manhattan and vanished, the unidentified suspect has, in some quarters, been venerated as something approaching a folk hero.
Is it a twist if nobody is surprised?
Perhaps this should actually read “in grim reality, most see suspect in C.E.O. Killing as Hero or Heartthrob”.
The number one react on the UHC Facebook announcement about it is the crying laughing emoji. The people have spoken.
Honestly, hero or hearthrob is putting it lighty. If I talked about how I actually felt about this guy, I’m pretty damn sure that would put me on some kind of list.
And I only feel comfortable saying that, because I know we’re all thinking it.
