I think future assassins will need to move to long range. Nothing crazy but about 100 yards or so. The executive security I am familiar with is concerned with is out to around 30 yards.

Very few can control 100 yards out or so.

A common AR or AK, a cheap scope and a decent shooter can reach out to 300 yards. With some practice the 300-yard shot can be taken with irons, or a scope user can reach out many yards further. The only way to defend against this is to do what major heads of state do and control a mile-wide perimeter around the protectee. Your average executive, or even Jeff Bezos, can't do this. Cities wouldn't give them permits for it because it would force traffic to a standstill whenever they come to town. I guess there is an alternative: they could spend the rest of their lives living in a fortified bunker. Believe it or not, there is value in living in a society where people adhere to standards of civil behavior and aren't willing to exploit others just because there's no law against it.

Like someone earlier in the thread said, Conservatives are not ball-gargling corporatists anymore. Go suck down some Round-Up, take your Ozempic, and get the most expensive Blue Cross Blue Shield plan you can afford if you feel so bad a literal demon died. He'd see you gutted from head to toe if it meant he gets the company a 10% YoY profit increase in perpetuity

Violence to the wicked is mercy to the meek you retarded faggot

This is an interesting side effect of the woke terror campaign. Virtually no one on the right still believes that big corporations are job-creating champions of freedom. They've revealed that they're a shadow branch of the government that's happy to censor you, troon out your kids and force you to inject yourself with mystery science juice or be thrown out on the street. After the rise and fall of idpol, the end result is that everyone is united in hatred of the parasite class.

I had a thought.
If this happened a decade or two ago, we would have a mixed reacting to the killing. Conservatives would have felt the need to defend Brian. Corporations were 'their guy'. Corporations were mostly still beacons of meritocracy and the enemy were seen as the lazy commies. Nowadays we just assume corpos are towing the progress line. I just assumed they have a DEI section on their hiring board (they do). Corporations chased away their supporters to virtue signal to a group that will never like them. Now it possibly cost Brian h is life.

In other vaguely-related news, Elevance Health is scrubing their 'staff' page of the C-suite.
I wonder why...

Its amazing how people dont get that the employers are the ones picking the heathplans benefits ala carte its 100% in the employers hands.. insurance businesses know this but train their customer services folks to never tell the employees that.
Most people think when they sign up they just toss the plan book in the closet and just willy nilly do shit not even knowing wtf they signed up for and never once going to their employers and asking them why they chose not to cover certain things when they get an eob in the mail showing them where and what they chose isnt covered. Insurance offers everything under the sun but its up to the employers human resource depts and how good they wanna look by saving some money on the budget.
There are employers that if their beliefs dont allign with a certain benefit that they wont cover it i.e. abortions and sterilizations are a big one.
But yknow whatever is popular to say I guess!

Tons of crazy people in this thread cheering on the death of this guy for accounting for less than 1% of total medical costs. If you want to know who makes healthcare expensive, look at doctors.

No.

Had outpatient surgery in a hospital in August.

Doctor billed Medicare just under $3000.

Anesthesiologist billed Medicare about $2100.

Hospital billed Medicare over $42,000.

I was there less than seven hours total.

Not my first rodeo. Got another one coming in the spring.

So it seems leadership pages are being removed from multiple heath insurers websites, which is funny because it creates Streisand effect and their headshots, and their names, will be circulating everywhere now.

I also truly love how the entire internet is rooting for the hitman and he's becoming somewhat of an antihero. It's glorious.

That's not exactly what the problem is here. It's when you're supposed to have a coverage for something that's in your health plan, but the insurance company is flat out refusing to pay for some stupid reason. Or they are making you jump through administrative hoops hoping you'll give up.

Make no mistake - they will get him and probably within 3-5 days. He has taken out one of the ruling class and this is where they show their hand with the data they can pull and that they control the strings. Cities will turn over data, FB,Apple and Google will comply with all data requests promptly and they will nail him. If they can’t get a fair trial I’ll bet he is shot dead in a stand-off. He has assasinated an “elite” and they will show us regular people just how fast they can catch someone when they want to. He is a dead man already.

A person is entirely capable of holding in their mind, at the same time, the thought that this guy was willingly in charge of an organization that commits great evils, and also that murder is not usually constructive.

Do you expect us to feel sorry for this guy?

There are too many responses to choose from but I think yours is probably the most straightforward to respond to.

My post for context. It is not that I expect pity for this man, and I already stated I believe him to be a piece of shit. There is a difference in some people saying that they don't feel sorry for him, and people who are celebrating his murder. It's two very different things in my mind. What's more amusing is most people haven proven their ignorance in that they can't explain that the system is actually bad but that he's just a bad guy, and also fuck me cause im a eurofag, cool.

Your health system is rotten, and in the most American way you choose to think of it as one person who runs the system and that if they died then the problem will resolve. Americans don't like the idea that actual change is very painful, and requires effort, not just putting a bullet in someones skull. If you choose to think that is how you solve actual societal problems, then you are just as stupid as the people you ridicule.

This is coming from someone whos country hasn't had a solid government in years, but I would still choose the pain of making a system move correctly, instead of allowing assassinations to sway change. Knowing Americans, this will change nothing, your health system will still be terrible and you'll find a new boogieman to blame for your problems. Once you realize you are all the problem and that you allow it to happen, then maybe you can resolve it.

I don't care if people don't like my opinion. I am just more of the belief that once you say murder is okay for people you don't like, then it becomes murder is okay for everyone because of whatever their views are. I sometimes like to think KF users are better than the little bluesky transsexuals who cheered on the attempted murder of your future president but I see that two extremes are the same people. It's okay when the person I don't like it almost murdered/is murdered but not the other way around.

Also another thing , seeing how the hitman status is slowly rising to the one of Batman, I wonder how many basement dwelling autists, that also happen to be gun owners, are seeing this and thinking: 'this could be me'.

As someone earlier in the thread mentioned, maybe these retarded high school shooters will start going after the C-suite of evil companies.
