I don’t.
I’ll just put this here:

Fair enough. But that doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with BlackRock.
Do I think the shooter was a lone wolf? No. I do think he was working for someone or an entity. He likely agreed with them and minimal coercion was required.
I look at it like this - if BR was actually involved and then put him on a commercial that will be captured forever that doesn’t seem bright if you’re covering your tracks. But, BR can just say it’s nothing but an unfortunate PR issue for them who would say otherwise? Maybe the commercial was the cover for making the shooter feel like all of this was organic.
Highlighting teachers is a heck of an idea to find opportunities with the kids/young adults. Teacher thinks they’re being celebrated, BR supports the type of causes that modern education does, and a student gets to participate - teacher is completely in the dark and thinking nothing nefarious.
It’s also conceivable BR, or very very few at BR, had any idea about this if they were even involved.
To your point about coincidences - no, I dont believe in them as a general rule.
I do have some exposure to branded advertising. There are many ways that this rando kid ended up in their commercial. That rando kid happened to go on to so some not great stuff.
