They’re focusing heavily on her work mentoring women in a very similar way to how articles focused on the Brian Thompson’s humble roots. That narrative attempts to frame her as the “pro woman” side. The implications exist in the rhetorical negative space, that there was a murder and if the victim was so pro woman, what does that say about the killer? And the actual answer is nothing, we don’t know enough about the murderer to be certain of their motivations but it sure doesn’t look to be about that.
Gotta be honest I don’t give a single fuck about a Blackstone executive that was in charge of real estate specifically.
Blackstone is evil in general, but its real estate division is even higher up the scumbag charts.
They’re literally part of the ever-worsening homelessness crisis.
Some of the deaths here are a damned shame though, and the whole story of it is basically a top to bottom American tragedy.
Edit: Only slightly relatedly, Ashli Babbit’s story is similarly top to bottom an American tragedy viewed from a different angle. The lady spent most of her life falling for scams and getting fleeced and then got killed (justifiably though it was) because she fell for one of the country’s biggest scams.
I didn’t read anything about a Blackstone CEO being shot…
This is disinformation and is glorifying a murderer. I don’t care who the intended target was. You don’t kill other innocent people over it.

Wow they’re really trying to imply misogyny there.
They’re just throwing anything out there.
I read the article you responded to. Not sure which bit implied misogyny. Did skim it so maybe I missed it?

Ok, I can see it now, just. Feels like a stretch TBH. Two men, two women killed, none planned ahead as deliberate targets. I mean maybe, but…
