people resort to street justice.

I am not stating whether I agree with it or not.

It is just human reality.

Ad hominem attacks are a sign of a weak argument.
A better argument is to stick to facts.

Not lying about people and trying to insult them.

People can certainly make correct observations about the human condition
in an objective way.

It is called science.

Could have been a hit from a fellow CEO. Could have been killed of a love affair. We don't know yet.

We're just assuming it was a disgrubtled client who got stiffed on medical bills.

I for one think this guy may have been ready to testify against someone else and spill secrets.
Someone with enough money to hire a hit man.

But in general we may start seeing more street justice.
The American people have found out the hard way there is no rule of law for the wealthy.

Shot in the head from the back and then more shots on approach. This wasn’t an amateur.

If it was someone in an emotional rage about being denied benefits, for example, it could qualify as manslaughter as opposed to murder.

Too soon to tell at this moment, though. Clearly some sort of homicide, however.
