Just to be clear and without taking sides: Wesley LePatner appears to have been the CEO of the real estate portfolio of rental units. Literally the person most responsible for Blackstone buying up US housing at an alarming rate.

LePatner, 43 years old, was the $1.2 trillion firm's global head of Core+ real estate and CEO of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, the company's juggernaut real estate fund for individual investors.

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me if the guy got evicted by them or something like that.

He literally had the wrong floor. Complete coincidence that his random act of violence happened to kill someone doing something evil, no one should be praising this guy.

Do you have any sources on that? I haven't seen anything that talks about a potential motive yet.

Shane Tamura, a Las Vegas casino security worker, was carrying a handwritten note in his wallet that claimed he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, known at CTE, investigators said. He accused the league [NFL] of hiding the dangers of brain injuries linked to contact sports.

Thanks, I guess if that's a note in his wallet it's clear enough. You could've gone on any floor in that building and killed someone that deserved it, apparently.

The NFL was on another floor, he just fucked up and got the wrong target.

How many of the most vile corporations are in that building? Do Nestlé, Monsanto, and Raytheon have floors?
