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

[Super-Chevy454]

Coolest thing an American did with his right to bear arms since Gary Plauché.

And don't forget Bernard Goetz who taked care of some subway trouble makers.

 

[Nameless One]

I think the best thing of this is not finding the guy and then this happens again and again

Whoa now, cool it with the blinding optimism. Best thing is if others also sacrifice themselves mysteriously so it happens weekly, to daily.

If you're the CEO of a company that makes its fortunes fucking over people, you should be afraid. We need more of this.

And I'll tell you something else. I've been reading commentary on this from both the left and the right today, and both sides are generally in agreement on this matter.

Which, when you think about it, is why society is so distracted with retarded topics like fag rights, correct pronouns, Christian fascism, project 2025, hunter biden's cock, donald trump's everything, illegals, nazi's, and boogeymen like China-russia-iran-north korea-hamas etc).

I'm not saying those things dont matter (well, a few of them probably dont), but that they are being used in a way to sew divisive rhetoric amongst average joe's, with no SOLUTION in sight.

As much as some people would call me a faggot, I dream of the day left and right middle class/poors can agree to disagree on a few retarded topics and collectively stick their middle finger towards the corpo class (that is silently pulling the society's strings). That would be the fucking day.

All the while, we fight amongst ourselves, while the corpo faggots continue to rig the system, and chip away at every foundational/monetary right we've held for granted. Before social media, it could be. Not now, when you can literally shape entire swaths of opinion by using a few thousand bots, and payed off shill influencers.

I've gone through the last 900-odd images by mostly skipping to highlights, so maybe I've missed it, but:

has anyone put forth any idea about how the gunman knew where to find this guy? Was the CEO a fan of walking in his suit at 6:40AM at this part of NY regularly or something? I thought I read he was coming out of a hotel; if so, that's very interesting that someone knew where to find him!

From various sources, my understanding is he was on his way to a conference he was doing a lot of preparatory work at, so it was somewhat known where he was going and when. How he knew what hotel he was at, I'm not sure.

 

[Justa Grata Honoria]

Whoa now, cool it with the blinding optimism.

He was smart enough to preplann it i bet true and honest tag that the retards in NYC will try to use phone following and various other bs and they won't find him. I can bet he knows not carry a phone and where are the blind spots in surveillance system which is only for show in NYC anyway.

Though him clipping another one will be less likely.

 

[FuckedOffToff]

I hope he doesn't get caught.
If he was a known entity, and we could see his internet history and how he voted, his job or educational history, the unity would be lost.
Currently he serves as a cipher for everyone to hang their issues on, which promotes unity, while his political history would have everyone retiring to their own sides again, to scream at each other across the barricades.

Son you do realize that throughout history there has and will always be an elite class or individual who will manage to become a natural leader on any side, right? And many who will eventually take up their own sides. The decay began when war became a battle for what ideology is correct instead of PERSONAL disputes of ownership and such. The French Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for politik.

 

[Ed Special]

BBC Pidgin has weighed in on the case: Police dey find suspect wey shoot and kill oga of ogbonge US insurance company for New York. Answering important questions like “who be di suspect?” and “wetin be UnitedHealthcare?” Bix nood indeed.

The news is a lot more fun when you read it in broken afro/abbo English.

Britbong Kiwis, this is what your taxes and TV loicense fees pay for.

 

[Mark Goldbridge]

Americans know their system is evil but just assume it's the lesser evil. It's not. I've experienced the healthcare of three other countries. If every American knew how bad you have it, there would be one of these killings every day.

That's what I'm saying, there are third world shithole countries like Alb*nia with cheaper compared to wages and more accessible healthcare than Amerimutt land

 

[For The Lulz]

I'd rather a wall street crash scenario where these fuckers are just jumping out of 30+ story windows but this will suffice for now.

People disregard the impact of violence and large swaths have been pussified into nothing more than nigger cattle. Look at jan 6th, you had a bunch of people 'storm' the capitol, staying within the velvet ropes without a single shot fired (by the people who were said to be overthrowing the ruling elite at least) and the govt lost their shit over it. I would rather they all be scared of what could be lurking around the corner, it goes a long way to keeping them honest.



A lot of shit we are dealing with in 'le current year' could have been nipped in the bud with a few choice deployments of the guillotine.

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

It is sort of heartwarming how everyone seems united about this. In general post election everyone seems happier. Like a kidney stone passed or they got a fresh pair of glasses.

Political disputes and differences are always a mere aspect to modern politik rather than a truly representative image or collective belief. Sucks that war has turned some people into heathens and literal Jap bugmen willing to die for bloated, disgusting pedophilic elites and troglodytes in power for the sake of whichever government they prefer. At least the last true Japs genuinely believed in their cause.

It is likely a mix of depressing shit. I've seen back-to-back tragedies happen to people as a result of Amerikan healthcare myself included.

 

[Dr. Ricearoni]

It is actually insane to see Americans defending their broken third-world system because Ben Shapiro or somebody told them that socialist countries just feed you to the dogs if you ever get sick and they accept that uncritically.

Genuinely it's been a deeply held belief of mine that Capitalism has no place in healthcare for ages, and I'm vehemently anti commie/anti socialist.

When the incentive is profit, the then the system will maximize profit. How do you maximize profits when your job is to eliminate your consumer base (the sick and infirm)? You don't cure them. You just keep them healthy enough to keep working and not die, so they can keep coming back and keep paying you.

Just because capitalism is the lesser evil doesn't mean everything needs to have capitalism in it, sometimes you just don't have to pick evil.

 

[MadStan]

He was essentially homegrown. His profile is in an article linked in the OP. U of Iowa valedictorian, PWC for a couple of years, accountant. UnitedHealthcare for 20 years, starting as a (not the, which is incorrect in the link story) director at parent co in corporate development (M&A). Moved into the business then up to CEO. So, you know, blame the cornfields.

You're totally right. Behind my keyboard I also wear primrose glasses and I like to believe I have a moral fiber that would prevent me from executing such a position as his, when in reality for the money I'd do it too like everyone else (perhaps), not that I've ever worked as hard as he ever did to earn his position.

I did actually work in the field and I was very good - I was better paid back then then I am now, and I refused to go back into the field because of the requirement to be, at times, inhuman in order to function. Colleagues would "blame the game, not the payer" soap box all the time, so I opted not to be in the stadium. Call me a pussy.

I don't know the circumstance behind his assassination and I don't sanction his death, but on the laws of probability of the CEOs and Managers I had to work with, I'm going to still go with the probability that he was a cunt, and while I can live with cunts, someone that day decided they didn't have to.

 

[Dr. Ricearoni]

I had to get a tooth removed in an evil socialist country. I got both a dentist and a dental surgeon scheduled the same day and paid €50 out of pocket. They even warned me the price would be very expensive because I don't have insurance.

Fuck man, I had to pay $1000 out of pocket to get my wisdom teeth out, and that was WITH insurance. American healthcare is fucked up.

 

[Plarp]

With the way these greedy, middleman private healthcare insurance companies hurt regular people every day, I'm surprised it took this long for something like this to happen.

Imagine if all of the people who are planning on shooting up a school or otherwise going after innocents, instead turned their fire towards corporate boardrooms, what a nicer world that would be

 

[F40PH]

It's nice to know he survived the first shot so this piece of shit could feel that moment of terror, knowing he was about to die like an animal on the streets of NYC before Bikechad switched his lights off for good. I don't even care why the shooter did it, I just hope they never catch him.

Feds as well, would also be generous considering government workers within democracy are no different from welfare leeches that only damage the country and are a root within the absurd state of taxation. Problem is these shooters are pretty much groomed or created and are too mentally retarded to contain themselves and decide to go for easy targets. They're all fucking pussies.
