UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot outside Hilton hotel in Midtown in targeted attack: cops - Just Part and Parcel of visiting a Big City

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
How do we know these items aren't just garbage left behind from all the people in NYC
Because the guy made a stop off at starbucks for a frappucino or whatever before the actual shooting happened. I mean yeah it could be random trash, but it seems more and more likely this guy wasn't a pro and didn't really care to be caught immediately. He did disappear but the story isn't over yet.
 
Also, I find this thread hilarious because the fact NYC is over-ran with shootings, brothels on every street corner, robberies and homeless people is a bit lost on people.
People get shot all the time in NYC because its filled with migrants and niggers. It's not that deep.
and somehow Canada now has more crime than the United states in every catogory except murder. We have plenty of migrants, but many of the...well you know.

A lot of healthcare demand is inflated because people go to the hospital even if they're not really sick, but waste resources getting a check up when they could use home remedies.
You sound like an american.
You can go to a doctor in europe just for a sniffle. They are literally paid to advise you and you pay them via health coverage.
Somehow you think that having health aid isn't a right, but an option.

All of it ultimately inflates costs, and clog up the system.
No it does not. Healthcare is healthcare, even for small issues.

edit: I'm also reading he may have left a candy wrapper. There's not much sourcing on these reports so take them as they are.
Observe cops actually trying to find "a murderer" when they do fuckall in all other shootings
 
The source on the bullet inscription claims is apparently "NY1".
I have checked their tweeter and their website and can find no reference to it.

However: they are a 24/7 broadcast news station, so it is possible they mentioned it on the TV but just didn't tweet about it or publish it online.

The majority of accounts that keep mentioning the bullet/shell message/inscription seem to be conspiracy theory type accounts or maybe a bot army.

Their article on the shooting: https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2024/12/04/man-shot-and-killed-outside-hotel?cid=app_share

There's some possibility that people hadn't heard of the company fully before or weren't aware of its absolute dominance and how it rejects the most claims out of any other competitor - that may explain why the price has slightly risen.
As they say: "there's no such thing as bad publicity"
Even then, when big shitshows affect massive companies, the stock usually drops, the best example of this is Crowdstrike during their server outage oopsie, despite the instant recovery, the outage nuked their financial outlook for the remainder of FY2024. And most people outside of cybersecurity and (if you're vaguely interested in cars) Motorsports (as they sponsored a ton of racing-related events), the average person didn't know who the fuck Crowdstrike were before the outage oopsie. Here, the United Healthcare incident is unique in how a premature death in the executive branch HELPED their falling share prices.
There are people who abuse their insurance, don't pay, and so those costs get pushed on to other people. A lot of healthcare demand is inflated because people go to the hospital even if they're not really sick, but waste resources getting a check up when they could use home remedies.
And this, by the way, is why a lot of people oppose Universal Healthcare. Because it makes the problem of people seeking care when it isn't needed/gaining the system to satiate a drug addiction worse by several multiples.
If this dude bought anything without cash he's cooked.
If he was one of the 500IQ Geniuses who made at least one of those calls to Thompson's address if what Brian's widow is alleging is proven to be credible, then he was already fucked six ways from Sunday. But like the "Freedom to Britain, Death to Traitors" guy and the mad lad who ganked Abe with a Pipe Gun, I don't think he gives a shit about how Randy Stair-tier retarded he is and may have wanted to get caught eventually (unlike the lolcow who tried to hide in the forests of Kentucky with no prior survival experience).

DNA testing is also a thing, so there's that to consider.

LOL NOPE, Healthcare is an Industry and a Service (NOT a "human right") for a reason, those fancy machines and high-tech facilities, University Courses and experimental testing locations which exist to keep us from collapsing in a heap outside, 1347-style don't come for free you know.

In US yes. The entire developed world figured out it can't be that way.

This isn't technically a shitshow. If you want to be cynical about it then this is free advertising that this health insurance company is so cutthroat compared to any other that an angry person killed "the CEO" (and again this isn't the actual CEO, he is the CEO of a division or some shit).

There are tons of charts all over tweeter showing that this particular company rejects the most claims by a significant margin compared to any other company - so from an investor perspective, this is exactly the kind of company you would want to invest in. From a human perspective: they're pieces of shit.
 
Somehow you think that having health aid isn't a right, but an option.
Yes, Healthcare is not a right. Absolutely. It's a service. Rights are typically reciprocal agreements societies make between themselves and governments to follow a specific set of ethics and morals to prevent anarchy. Calling healthcare a "right" doesn't make any sense because it's not something you can make a "right' because of how much it has to vary in quality, amount and care. Also, healthcare in Europe varies country to country. You can't really make ample comparisons like that. Finland and UK have totally different healthcare systems, and they're not problem free either. A lot of people who criticize the American system want to pretend there's an easy solution when there really isn't.
No it does not. Healthcare is healthcare, even for small issues.
It does in the US. Often doctors over prescribe medication that make people sicker, or they waste time on patients who aren't really sick. In the US, because there is a cap on the amount of doctors, you often have to rely too much on nurses. It really does distort the quality of care people receive. It also doesn't help that affirmation action from medical universities are filling hospitals with immigrants who don't know what they're doing. The COVID hysteria is a good example of this too.

The difference with Europe and America's healthcare system can be pretty well summarized with 1)how many more people there are 2)how fat and unhealthy many Americans are 3)how many of these people kill each other.

Universal healthcare or whatever isn't so sustainable plus with whatever wave of migrant/niggers come for muh opportuns.

IF you consider suicide pods being pushed for everything because the rest is too expensive.

Or waiting 8 months because you're not sure what's wrong with you to finally get approved to wait another 6 months to get to a specialist to look at what's wrong with you only to find out now its too late to do anything about it, 'Figuring it out' sure.

The US's biggest problem is that hospitals abuse the fuck out of insurance and jack up the prices on everything because they're afraid of lawsuits for malpractice and probably generally greedy too.
 
it was RFK Jr and he will not stop till healthcare is cleaned up
That explains the new audio recording just released. At first I thought the file was corrupted but you can clearly hear the assassin say "H-h-e-e-eee-ey y-y-yyou pp--u-unk, pp-p-prepar-re-e t-t-to d-ii-i-ie-e!!!", turns out it was just RFK Jr. speaking normally. Case closed!

Who's on for supper!?

I have learned two things during following this story

  1. I always thought the reputation of A&N was dramatized. Everyone said this place is a shit hole. I now understand them. There are a fair few posters here who are pretty reasonable but there are a lot of people who seem like they're frothing at the mouth while discussing this shit.
  2. No matter how bad some users here may be, tweeter is infinitely worse and is full of the dumbest fucking mouthbreathers I have ever seen:
1733373263259.png

They literally just invent shit and tweet it and retweet it and ask the most braindead questions. You can't even follow things chronologically and its just a shitshow of people flinging wild ass claims around. Not only that they continuously late post shit - there are people still posting shit like this like 8 hours after it happened:

Tweeter sucks dick.
 
That's because he didn't:

Source (Archive)
Yeah, didn't think so. There is a crazy amount of disinfo about this case.

The first reports from the police said he (the shooter) was hanging around for about 10 minutes prior to the shooting. Fox news has an interview with some dude that claims the shooter was hanging around the entire night: https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1864483413266256163

This possibly indicates he didn't have any inside intel or as grand of a strategy as some people think and probably just knew there was a conference and had pictures of some "key people" and went after the first one that he recognized.

I doubt that a contract killer wouldn't be hanging around for hours like that, neither would someone with heavy experience in this kind of thing. Premeditated for sure, and they for sure had an escape strategy planned ahead of time, but I don't think this was a contract killing.
Looking at the video, it's clear that the shooter only got two-three rounds off as his gun wouldn't stop malfunctioning. I don't care that the general New England region has strict prohibitions on guns etc, you still find a way to ensure your weapon is gonna function correctly at least most of the time, especially if you are doing this for someone else. Combined with the fact that they might have been out there the whole night waiting, definitely seems like an independent venture.

Judging by the fact that he didn't have time to test his weapon configuration, I'd wager he had a time constraint for getting this done, even though he was there the entire night. Maybe local friends or family would've noticed his disappearance, he lived out of state and needed to catch a flight back, wouldn't have had a suitable alibi, etc. Either way, he might have had a limited time window, just recently received the suppressor, and wouldn't have been able to do this on another date. TLDR he likely isn't some uncle ted type dude in the woods somewhere with unlimited time.

Lastly, looking at how he handled himself, it's clear to me that this dude is either a former law enforcement, military, or any similar profession. A lot of people underestimate the type of mental ability it takes to walk up to someone and shoot them, be able to clear multiple malfunctions and continue shooting them, and then calmly walk away without looking back, panicking, and navigating the most camera/police-filled city in the USA, and the police losing your trail, he definitely knows the city well, probably practiced the route prior. The average person would be traumatized as hell after just one shot and would've made a mistake somewhere immediately after or during the shooting, and forgotten the entire plan.
 
It's not unheard of for something like this to go unsolved. Look at the case of federal prosecutor Thomas Wales.

Guy gets killed in his kitchen in 2001 and after 17 years the FBI has no suspects but says it may have been a professional hit.
Where I live, about, oh, 30 years ago there was a guy who was a bit too friendly with the local children. He was warned in strong terms to stay away from them but didn't heed the advice. When he was found deceased in his house, police did not look very hard for a culprit.
 
His wife and children loved him, and he loved them.
That's an assumption. You don't become the CEO of UnitedHealthCare without being a full-blooded psychopath. Full-blooded psychopaths do not make for good husbands or fathers, to put it extremely mildly. I'd say there's a better chance than not that his family is relieved more than anything.
 
The US's biggest problem is that hospitals abuse the fuck out of insurance and jack up the prices on everything because they're afraid of lawsuits for malpractice and probably generally greedy too.
College is expensive for the same reason. Doctors can just game Medicare and Medicaid, much like colleges do with student aid, to jack up prices because it's not a competitive market.
 
Is there an industry that’s even more evil than the healthcare industry in America?
  • Social Media Influencers, brand deals and all of that shit - they have totally and utterly destroyed the internet
  • Tech companies (Facebook in particular) have markedly harmed society
  • Advertising companies
Those 3 are basically all the same thing though.

and perhaps the porn industry - but the porn industry isn't as centralized as social media influencers

UNH is #4 on the Fortune 500. Their basic materials say over 100k employees but articles etc will show you it's over 400k. Anyone in the market who "hadn't heard of the company fully before" is a liar or too stupid to feed themselves.

Perhaps the shareholders feel that a new CEO would serve the company better.
Investors know that succession planning is a thing, that UNH has a deep bench, and that the loss of the CEO of UHC will not change any in-flight plans.

When the law system fails people go vigilante.
What "law system" for CEOs carrying out their duties failed? If there were formal legal violations, those would be against the company first. If there weren't known legal violations, then it's just substituting a personal or political beef for a "law system." Takes a lot to get a CEO charged for official capacity actions. Unless (and those were SEC sanctions, not a criminal prosecution).

Here, the United Healthcare incident is unique in how a premature death in the executive branch HELPED their falling share prices.
I'm getting the sense that a lot of people do not understand how the market works.

That's an assumption.
It is not an assumption.
