Quote from: MuggsyB on December 10, 2024, 08:54:30 AMYou can't just go out and murder people Tower without any repercussions.   There are definitely people that are pure evil  and must be erased but I think that's a separate topic. 

Assassins (and those who attempt assassinations) always think they are doing the right thing by trying to erase "pure evil." I'll stop there, lest this veer into politics.

I was amused that BCBS immediately retracted their plan to limit anesthesia during procedures the day after the murder.

I make distinctions within the scumbag/ pure evil categories.  Anyway, I think Luigi thought he wasn't going to get caught.

Bronson and Denzel did the right thing.

Painkiller on Netflix is also an excellent look into not just the Sackler family but the industry as a whole, especially the use of young, good-looking people as pharmaceutical reps. My dad was a physician and many of the males who were drug reps were former D1 college athletes.

Ivy Leaguers can be the dumbest smart kids. Why the guy wasn't in Nicaragua or Cuba by now I'll never now. His picture was out there and he stuck around the Northeast?

That's just sales positions in general. People buy from people they like. People like folks that are conventionally attractive or people they relate to (same age, social status, background, etc).

Why?  I think he clearly wanted to get caught.  The dude was eating in a public restaurant and had the gun, silencer, and fake ID he used at the hostel still on him.  He had plenty of time to flee across the boarder and board a plane from there, and certainly to ditch any evidence.  But he had it on him.

A guy who is smart enough to graduate from UPenn with a masters in computer science is smart enough to know there are cameras everywhere, especially in NYC.

Pro tip - if you're playing in a scramble, put your money on the team with the pharmaceutical sales reps. I've attended quite a few fund raisers for non-profit healthcare clients. The teams with the pharm reps always win.

Not to mention he had the smarts to plan and time the whole thing perfectly and flee.

Clearly didn't care about being caught down the line.

yeah, that's what they showed in Painkillers. I don't remember any of the reps my dad met with being females. A lot of former D1 football and men's basketball players always wearing their conference title or bowl rings (I remember him calling me to tell me one former D1 hoops player played at my HS after my family had moved away).

Suites for professional games (including playoffs), private shopping at a high end butcher shop, and a hunting trip to a private camp/game preserve were some of the more elaborate benefits I remember my dad telling me about. There was nothing like hearing a pitch for Xzghiidosre or whatever med the dude was selling during the first intermission of a Stanley Cup playoff game. LOL!

You have to be pretty dang smart to be able to get into the school.

And yes, it of course helps to have parents who went to an Ivy League school and who have money.  But you still need to do well in school.

Going to prison for a lengthy sentence doesn't seem too smart.  Although I suppose he could plead insanity.
