He's walking through New York City, glancing from side to side, making sure that nobody is staring at him strangely because the last thing that he needs right now in this moment is to be stopped, questioned, or even have any sort of longstanding interaction with any New Yorker. Probably the worst case scenario would be an interaction with the NYPD. But he's not even trying to think about that.

Because is that woman over there staring at him right now? It's fine. It's fine. The man is on a mission. He needs to get to the destination and everything else can be figured out once he gets there. He walks straight into the park in broad daylight. There's a group of girls in matching outfits wearing these plaid skirts. dancing to the K-pop group TWICE's song, Heart Shaker.

Really good song, by the way. They're filming a K-pop cover. A man walking through the park stares at him. He says, bro, I don't know if you should be doing this, but your life choice, I guess. What is that supposed to mean? Another citizen stops and points, he's the one, he's the one. And with that, the man in the green jacket, he starts smiling because that means he just won $50.

There is a literal CCTV video of somebody shooting and killing the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, but most Americans are questioning, who really is the real victim here? Is it the one that was shot and killed? Or is it the shooter himself?
