Honestly, his family will be fine. Still will be rich. Whatever family the gunman has/had will undoubtedly have it much worse if/when this dude gets caught.
The family (who are millionaires btw) offered a $10,000 reward for finding him. . .that's. . .less than 0.1% of their net worth
ETC: I was wrong, the family haven't put a reward. . .it was 10k from the NYPD Crime stoppers and a further 50k from the FBI. . .so all taxpayer funded. . .
I wonder if she even liked him. It’s be nice for her to come out with “I’m glad he’s dead. He’s a murderer and a corporate terrorist who played with people’s lives like they were legos and deserved it.”

She married the guy, tacitly supported everything he did by remaining married to him.
She might not give a fuck that he's gone, but she drew as many benefits from his awful actions as he did.
It’s not that women are wonderful. It’s just that divorcing a very rich guy is a dangerous affair. I don’t know Thompson’s wife and what her situation is, but I do know enough women whose lives were completely ruined by their ex-husbands just because he had enough money to destroy her completely.
Not that I'm claiming him for my people, but as a gay man with an exceptionally accurate gaydar, her husband is gay as hell. I'm not surprised they've been living in separate mansions for the better part of a decade.
Mistresses? That man is gay. My gaydar pinged the first time I saw a picture of him. Finding out him and the missus have lived in separate mansions in the same neighborhood for the better part of a decade confirms this for me.
Unfortunately, statements made on public events like are directed by police and lawyers and if it's an event where the statement is this public, it will be determined by PR professionals.
You don't make public statements like this without people being coaxed through it and rehearsed and trained.
The reason is simple, but it's because you don't want to trigger conspiracies and you don't want to turn public opinion against you.
It's pretty common, and even happens with non-millionaires because of the power of public opinion.
But when you see public appeals form missing people etc. that garners national attention, it always seems forced and staged because they're told what to say and rehearsed over and over.
I don't care for Brian Thompson, but we've seen it over and over with press statements like this where families of victims look unloving and uncaring, because they're not allowed to blubber all over TV. It doesn't get the public on your side. You have to make a statement that draws attention, without triggering to much opinion on emotion.
She just had a 45 million dollar pay day. Probably had to put all her effort into suppressing her joy while making her statement. She likely rarely saw her socio/psychopath workaholic husband anyway.
Not far off, honestly. It's a mere two hours' pay for what he was making, assuming a 40 hour work week. $10k to him was the equivalent of fifteen bucks to a US federal minimum wage worker.
Right! $60k is a decent amount of money, but it’s not life changing. I would not sell someone down the river for it, especially someone who did a public service for the entire country.

A father?!
Each one of those dead Americans ARE fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, people with friends, lives, jobs, and a human heart that loves people.
