Thompson was in Manhattan for UnitedHealthcare’s 2024 investor conference

LOL

He sure as fuck wasn't there for the "help people access affordable, reliable, high quality healthcare conference".

Hopefully it wasn’t just a mugging

The cops said he waited in the freezing cold in one spot for ten minutes before taking the shot and fleeing down an alley to a bike he had waiting. This was 100% premeditated.

In unrelated news, I have an erection that will probably last longer than 4 hours.
