I've never heard of Brian Thompson before and I don't intend to learn anything new about him although I'm sure that we will soon be informed about what a wonderful fellow he was, and how evil his assassin was.
It's also not unlikely that his assassin was a nut, driven by the insurance companies decision not to pay for him to receive a fourth penis.
And on top of that, when the accepted worldwide morality and law is for healthcare companies to delay treatment (until hopefully the suffering die, ideally by their own hands) before eventually denying it, who can say that the late Thompson was any worse than any other person would be in his role.
In America especially, making a killing, is Commandments I - X, and hardly a soul refrains from doing so but for lack of ability or luck.
That said, The System is so anti-human that this killing, while likely not likely to be ameliorative, is the only sign of life to have emerged on Manhattan Island in decades — a point the media stormtroopers have managed not to mention.
Let us hope indeed, that the killer was aroused by his denial of a Klingon cunt. Humanity deserves to hear a few words spoken in his favor and that's their most likely avenue of relief.
I say it was his divorcing-wife who paid for it. The bullet casings indicating a moral motive are there to throw off the scent. Toss the bitch in the brig.
Oh, it wasn't her? Oh well.
I offered the world a peaceful humanitarian way to bring us all back to our holy human nature. My offer unaccepted, let the jungle mammals take care of themselves.
