The End of Another CEO

The End of Another CEO

This Has Been the Inevitable Outcome

So the media’s calling it a CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) grievance. A football rant gone off the rails. “Shooter targets NFL offices,” they say, like that’s the story. But the NFL is on floors 5–8, so not even close to floor 33….This wasn’t random fandom rage; it was another instance of the beginning of class war.

Shane Devon Tamura drove across the country with an AR-15 and a bulletproof vest. He went exactly where he meant to go: to the 33rd floor of a Manhattan tower, to the office of Wesley LePatner, who was the Chief Executive Officer of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust (BREIT) and had been for the last 11 years, 10 years prior to that working for Goldman Sachs. The woman steering their Core+ investment scheme that’s been turning single-family homes into rental properties…

She wasn’t a bystander. She was the target.
