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

[.iota.]

Did this ceo do something particularly heinous [ ... ] ?

yes.

But his company also had a history of controversially rejecting claims and faced a Department of Justice antitrust investigation.

He had been the subject of a Department of Justice antitrust probe, the Wall Street Journal first reported in February.

Prominent pension funds in California later filed a federal lawsuit against Thompson and other UnitedHealthcare executives, accusing them of offloading $117 million in company stock before the DOJ probe became public.

Thompson had reaped $15.1 million by dumping the stock, the lawsuit contends.

And UnitedHealthcare has developed a reputation for rejecting claims, a practice at least in part because it used an AI model with a 90% error rate to deny health coverage, Ars Technica first reported.

I kind of like the idea that these types of "people" have to start hiring security all the time. It'll cost them a lot of money, create new jobs (while possibly taking jobs away from mega-yacht manufacturers), and I dunno, it just sounds great to me that they should be unable to enjoy the normal things that make people's days brighter. Everything they do should have to be planned out in advance, no spontaneity, nothing unapproved.

If billionaires felt like they could at any time become an assassination target while people cheered in the streets and talked about how ugly their (ex) wife is, I bet we'd see more Carnegie Libraries and Rockefeller Centers coming out of these new robber barons.

Would everyone please stop speculating on the fucking gun with shit like “Oh it might be an internally suppressed spy gun!!!!”.

It was a 9 mm handgun with a suppressor. The most you can say it was a typical semi-automatic by the look on the shitty camera, I don’t know where the fuck the Ruger Mk. IV shit came from. The gun couldn’t cycle properly with the suppressor on. If the suppressor was bought legally, is a aliexpress purchase, or a DIY job is the bigger question.

@quaawaa i misread you comment under the picture. I thought you read it as he returned to the Homeless/ Migrant Shelter. I was the retard.

I do actually think the shelter/ hostel is interesting. NYC has a lot of charities that give e-bike passes out and has programs for reduced fair even via pre-payed debit cards. Guy could’ve bought a pass off a homeless guy/ migrant Super Citizen in cash or booze and went on his way to ice the CEO.

no, there was a guy, like WW2-ish, snipered the FWAUK out of a bunch of Russians and when asked later by press about it his response was like "I wouldn't know anything about killing people. I've only ever shot communists"

What if it was "Camp for Teenagers who are all furries, sex offenders, juvenile violent offenders and troons." - Like, uh, Rainfurrest, I guess, except with younger kids saying no cap every two seconds. Also, you know, outside and with trees.

To be fair, I think every 13 year old says that they are communist for a day and then realizes it's really stupid and gay.

 

[I've Seen Some More Shit]

The American systems of health insurance are an insidious and incestuous affair of usury, exploitation, and at times outright calumny. It is a system where nepotistic and neurotic corporately-empowered Jews and their favorite shabbos goys work day and night to run rackets on both their insured and the healthcare workers who are paid to take care of the insured. They will spend hours at a rate of $7800/hr arguing that thumbs aren't fingers purely to make sure doctors have to take out loans from these insurance companies that are then piece-meal passed on to the patients so that the insurance companies and their banker friends can sit on the appreciating value of medical debts that they sell around as a form of passive income.

And that's not even getting into organ donation. If you are an American, and you are on the donor list, insurance companies significantly incentivize hospitals to "fail" to resuscitate you to harvest your organs to people on their donor lists in return for lofty sums. Brittany O'Connor, Caroline Burns, Trenton McKinley, Zack Dunlap, and TJ Hoover are some of the more popular cases on a very long list of victims.

Anyone who defends an American insurance company, especially any members of their C-Suite, quite simply does not realize the oligarchs they are defending do not even see them as human but instead as financially-enabling chattel, or even worse given they quite literally use your meat - cattle.

Arguably, they see you and everyone else as even lower than chattel. A rancher fears his cow getting angry and trampling him. When's the last time before now that a CEO has truly felt fear?

The Beanie has been on too tight for a decade now.

That or in some cases, it's simply silver spoon faggots who've never had to deal with reality outside of their close-knit silver spoon faggot community. I recognized at least one posting in this here thread.

Some people just have a hard time realizing that the cost of a medical emergency does not come down to "oh golly we will have to cut down to just three Europe vacation trips this year" for the vast majority of the population.

The shooter was most likely using a Chinese made suppressor kit bought on places like wish & Ali Express as an "oil filter".

And most of these kits don't come with a Neilsen Device / Booster. Unless using a fixed barrel, you need a booster to allow the barrel to tilt during operation on most semi-auto handguns.

Thats probably why his gun didn't cycle...

The money spent on security? Meaningless, not a object.

The constant fear and paranoia of knowing you are hated and your death could come at any moment? Priceless.

Every time that happens now just rate them late and post the Forgotten Weapons video.

If you look at the list of firearms used in assassinations, 99 times out of 100 it's common off-the-shelf stuff. Recent exception being that homemade job Abe's assassin used (because of Japan's gun laws).

I dunno why some people feel the need for it to be some exotic thing, but I agree it's fucking annoying.

 

[Sayer of the N-Word]

Imagine being the one that snitches on him.

I’m hoping this becomes a Ken McElroy situation.

I think of that book In Broad Daylight whenever I read another "he was a human being with a family!" post. The McElroys all went into hiding and some fled Missouri within a day of Ken dying. No one gave a fuck about their fear and suffering, not after they stood by or even helped Ken for decades while he preyed on their communities.

 

[Gondolindrim]

It's interesting to me how people like Jack Poso and Whitehouse Staffer, two Twitter accounts on opposing sides of the spectrum are both really interested in identifying this guy.

It's almost as if the people paying both their wages feel threatened

 

[Lurker]

the shooter in the footage has a light-colored backpack

this dude's backpack is black

i don't think handsome jacket dude is the guy, but they can focus on him for a few weeks while the real guy gets away, which is the ideal scenario

edit:

magical color-changing backpack!
