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.

Genuinely, what is your source that he had 'the wrong floor'?

To have 'the wrong floor' implies there was a 'correct floor', which implies either a premeditated set person or set of persons as a target, or a known location associated with some kind of organization or something.

If it was a random 'just hurt people' type of mass shooting, there cannot really be a 'wrong floor', beyond maybe a comparison between overall target rich snd target sparse environments...

Or perhaps it was 'the wrong floor' in the sense of 'the correct floor' being one that worked with some kind of egress, escape plan?

Seriously, what do you mean by 'the wrong floor?'

He was gunning for the NFL not Blackstone. Thus wrong target/floor.

And what is your source on that?

I am again, genuienly asking for a source.

This is a recent event, I am not up to speed on the reporting on this, can you please provide a source that his target was the NFL?

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The source is the suicide note. The various articles covering this story almost all mention it just read some of them. Hes not perfectly explicit in the note but it seems pretty clear that was his intended target based on what's contained in it.

Ok then, that is an actual source, or, at least a mention of one, thank you!

Hey thanks for an actual link!

I am on mobile, have both bad vision and a fucked up wrist, scrolling through a huge thread is physically difficult for me.
