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

[Rei is Shit.]

I remember Occupy wall street. basically a bunch of people wanted to hold the bankers that caused the 2008 economic crash accountable, and wanted regulations to ensure something like that never happened again. that was something i thought was a reasonable ask, but then a bunch of other dumbfucks saw the movement and hitched their shitty fringe causes to it, and ultimately suffocated the movement to the point it became an incoherent commiefest that wanted to fight climate change, push feminism, stop racism, and whatever incoherent unemployed rambling of any nobody with a megaphone wanted to spew out.
Well, as we already know now, a lot of bigwigs actually fund some activism, so its easy to put two-and-two together that those fringe protesters were likely paid to essentially sabotage it and destroy the core message of it. the ones they don't, well they put their paid stooges in with a swastika flags or hitch one of their causes onto it just to discredit it.

It was gayoped into oblivion.

There is a book by some guy who worked for an Obama adjacent NGO that went after the teaparty movement. What they did is paid crazies to show up and cause problems for the actual protesters. This guy quit his cushy NGO job when they were tasked with doing the same to Occupy.

Yes he's absolutely wrong, leftist twitter would be dropping more hard R's than we do if the CEO was black.

I don't think we're talking about the same people if you say that. At best I can see part of them calling hypothetical black CEO a house nigger but you'd have to be delusional to think the racism angle wouldn't be played by a sizable amount of people. The only question is how many, 20%? 50%? We'll never know, but the discourse just wouldn't be the same.

Can some do us a favor and give this faggot the united Healthcare treatment already?

 

[Symbol of the Chud]

I know Walsh is a bootlicking corporate simp but is the reply guy retarded, or thinks readers are. Yes, healthcare companies get paid monthly premiums “subscriptions” and magically they get to keep a lot more of that money if they don’t have to pay it out on pesky medical care. It’s laughable to hear people pretend they don’t increase profits by denying coverages. Health insurance companies have no skin in whether they pay for expensive medical care or deny it. LMAO.

I hope that’s the genius PR strategy of the insurance industry, “why golly no we don’t make money off denying medical care, jee whiz we get it from the premiums you pay! There’s no correlation between two things whatsoever!”

Everyone is cheering a murder because so many have personally dealt with being denied coverage for shit or gone into medical debt because insurance refused to pay for care.

It devolves it into identity politics for no fucking reason though. It also opens up the argument "well he's getting about 10000x the budget for his investigation than Deshawnius III did when he got blasted by some gangbangers."

Just enjoy the fleeting sense of unity and enjoy the fact that humanity as a whole still despises those who exploit the sick and dying.

The only people crying about racism would be the same corporate shills crying about his wife and kids now. There's no DEI protections on the left for people who work for the likes of Lockheed Martin or United Healthcare.

 

[neger psykolog]

The bullet engraving is ‘deny defend depose’ and the book is ‘delay deny defend ‘ which implies the meaning is depose deny defend in that order. Does this hint it’s as much about the DoJ investigation as someone smoking him for killing a relative

I mean if this really was a hit to stop him from being put through a deposition then this is going to be filed under the same category as "Epstein didn't kill himself" for the next 1000 years.
If that were the motivation/angle here I imagine the healthcare industry cabal was worried as a whole that what he might say would cause regulations to fuck up their golden goose.

 

[Ted's Cabin]

Are these niggers fucking retarded, that fee is deducted from the employees paycheck.

People are kind of retarded about taxes in general because they're all deducted automatically. That's one reason Americans hate taxes so much, since we have a complicated system of pulleys and levers to estimate how much money we owe, compared to Europoors who just have their money taken with no trouble. Then you've got payroll taxes (taxes for daring to hire an employee), unemployment insurance, FUTO fees if you live in a shitlike like california or new york, federal income tax, state income tax, state sales tax, and then retards assume all of this is free because they aren't directly paying for it. If people got a lump bill for half their income every year like small businesses do, they'd riot in the streets, but since everything is skimmed off every transaction it's fine.

If the government allowed it, I wonder how many people would take a $1500/month pay raise over
their health insurance? That's about how much my employer pays. Most of that would go to taxes anyway, so who knows.

Who fuckin cares if this guy gets got? He's a goddamn hero to everyone. Not a single person is saying anything good about the CEO. The silence is deafening.

If he's convicted, and imprisoned he'll be treated like royalty. If he's suicided by cop he's done the historic.

If he is caught which he probably will the shills on the left will frame him as a white supremacist anti-Semite while the shills on the right will try to frame him as an antifa member or a pedo.

 

[Paul Lives!]

Is he wrong though? Surely you'd still have a lot of people still rejoicing, sticking to the healthcare perspective, but I'm pretty sure the narrative would be quite different and you'd see a lot less praise for the shooter. The racism angle would definitely be played into, that's not even up for debate.

He is technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Seriously, it's just his shtick. He's locked in an eternal struggle with an amorphous group that is paradoxically extremely dangerous and also so retarded that they are hypothetically unable to disentangle race and sex from being the CEO of the insurance arm of the world's largest healthcare company. Mass media has guardrails to avoid ever drifting remotely off message into "murber might be okay in some cases" territory, so they don't matter. It might be fun for a minute to look at a few ill-begotten, always online weirdos publicly struggle with their own internal contradictions, but it's not nearly as noteworthy as the shrug-heard-round-the-world that appears to be the median American's response to this. Matt playing this angle really only speaks to his own limited reach and appeal.

and? let them chatter. everyone knows he did what needed to be done, does it really matter if he was jackin it to furry porn 24/7 with a hitler body pillow at his side?

There is a very good reason UnitedHealth was targeted and not one of the other half a dozen insurers in the USA. They have the highest denial rate in the country, literally double the industry average and the worst of all the big insurers.

The problem isn't that UH was and is making money. It's that they are running a scam on people by offering a service and never delivering it. This is why most people on the right are laughing about it because fucker had it coming.

 

[Cedric_Eff]

Insurance companies are scum.

But in all seriousness tho, with all the CCTV around — how did they pull it off??

Walsh is derailing the gravedancing by making up hypotheticals. His dumb boomer audience will now start defending Thompson thanks to him arguing with a strawman over a debate nobody was having.

Keep in mind, he works for Ben Shapiro.

So it's more that this isn't the meaningful takeaway from this situation and nobody cares (leftists have already made calls to violence in much less justifiable situations anyway) than him being incorrect. I agree.

This is similar incident I think you guys might love reading. goodnight

[Smashed & Slamed]

That's how little they know about him. There was the unabomber and the Zodiac killer - they know fuck all about this guy besides this:
"Deny, Defend, Depose"

Triple D. A sequel to Triple K.

 

[PointOfNoReturnPoint]

I do not promote political assassination at all. However, I have no sympathy for this guy, or any other CEOs of health insurance companies. They disgust me more than CEOs for alcohol, or tobacco, or defense companies. At least you know what those people sell - it says it on the tin. Healthcare companies in the US suck people dry and do next to nothing for them.

I was talking about this to one of my irl friends. Most of the time I don't agree with people who go "DeAtH To C.E.O's" or whatever rhetoric that they spew but, this time this guy is directly related to denying health claims for rather important surgeries and other treatments. Kinda hard to not see their point this one time. I know giving them any sort of validation is a bad thing but I see what they are yelping about in earnest this time.

 

[Super-Chevy454]

Someone might already mentioned in this thread the possibility then it could be a insidejob. There's an ex-NYPD officer who think of this possibility.

Btw, playing the devil's advocate, how Taylor Lorenz would have reacted if Brian Thompson was the head of an union like the UAW like Shawn Fain or head of the Teamsters instead of being a CEO of a big insurance company?

 

[D. Dimmadome]

I hope more comes from this. Direct Action shot the CEO of Renault in the 80's(?) after he laid off a lot of people and that has been totally forgotten.
