So the CEO of one of BlackRock's real estate subsidiaries, Wesley LePatner, was gunned down in a workplace shooting.
LePatner was in charge of a $56B fund that has been reported to be a part of BlackRock's strategic mass purchasing of homes.
The press & cops seem to be working double time to make sure this isn't seen by the average Joe as some sort of Luigi moment.
The cops claim the assailant was lost and killed the wrong CEO.

Shouting "he killed the wrong CEO... see" isn't the strong defense of late stage capitalism the press seems to be reaching for.
Imo it's a ringing indictment of US capitalism that a gunman hoping to hurt a CEO whose covering up their industries harms to players brains, in the process kills the CEO jacking up single family homeprices nationwide by accident.

in reply to nullagent • • •I think half of the reason this story isn't getting a ton of media coverage is that fact that most people don't know what BlackRock is and how they affect their daily lives.
But had a high ranking NFL exec died all Americans would understand that and especially given the alleged reasons.
So the establishment is running their "look this guy was cRaZy, this isn't a class war its just a lunatic" story and trying desperately for people who can't afford rent to feel bad about a BlackRock exec.
