~~He shot a Blackstone CEO, yet when I search for him the media reports on his football career as a potential reason?~~

~~What the hell? America is not in a position where the assassination of CEOs needs to be explained. The question is how some of them can still show their faces in public.~~

Edit: See comments below. I'm dumb and/or jumping to conclusions too quickly.

You’d be right if he only shot a Blackstrone CEO. But apparently he shot 4 random people, one of them turned out to be a Blackstone CEO. That’s different.

At first I only read that it was a building housing finance institutions, so I figured he had probably just snapped and figured he'd attack the world of finance. So crazy, but driven by the state of everything rather than by some random sports career.

I didn't see that it also housed the NFL. Makes the Football story a lot more plausible. So the CEO might indeed just have been a random bystander like anyone else at the scene.

In either case it's obviously not a defendable of constructive thing to do, I just speculated that maybe there's bigger things in America to lose your mind over than football. Maybe I was wrong.

In either case it's a reflection of the mental health crisis.
