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

I'm pretty sick of the "I don't condone violence, but..." bullshit.

I wouldn't do it myself, but I do condone it. I applaud this particular instance of violence. Thompson was a man at the head of a company that has bought the legislature in order to profit off the illness of Americans. He deserved worse than he got. There are a million jobs where you aren't objectively making the world a worse place. Hell, he even had the express opportunity and ability to make it better.

A polite society doesn't have place for violence, but Brian Thompson wasn't particularly polite when he took people's money and then failed to honor his end of the deal.

United and other insurers bet on the fact that lower income people will not have the resources to take them to court. The nature of HIPAA and the fact that each denied claim is sort of its own novel case make class action suits equally difficult. No matter which angle you look at it from this was probably the only effective way to affect a sliver of change in the industry.

You know you're living in interesting times when you switch tabs from Reddit talking about this to KF and both discussions look fucking identical.

Redditors are trying to unmask him for a “we did it Reddit” flex.
What useless brain dead niggers.

What if the shooter was a tranny who was mad that UH took away troon medication or something along those lines?

It would be peak hilarity and peak clown world if the shooter was a tranny in 'normalface' before going home and putting on his wig and lipstick.

I don't get why society dances around the most obvious terminology here. He was a con artist. His company is a confidence trick - a scam. Its sole product is fraud.

My prediction is that he will be caught and then it comes out that he's no agent 47/db cooper david copperfield ghost assassin, and only did anything to not be caught before he can get home, have a nice drink, and sit in his armchair as his doors get kicked in the same day, and it's just colossal incompetence of the law enforcement that made things different. By now he went through all the expensive bottles he got for his last supper and the whole thing feels very surreal to him.

We should unmask them. It's not doxing it's accountability.

I remember when I learned about pet health insurance. All I could think is there are so many parasites in this world. There is so much evil in this world.

"I don't condone violence, but..." lmao as if you had the balls to go out and punch someone in public, much less kill. The worst are the fags who keep defending this piece of shit because "killing is wrong" as if this CEO would extend the same courtesy to them if it was their ass.

Oh we're past "nobody cares" and have reached "Ewoks celebrating the destruction of the second death star" level. There's a reason they've triggered every influencer and media outlet to try and social engineer guilt and shame over feeling that way: There's 20 million hunting licenses out there, to say nothing about just handguns and the like. If it becomes culturally acceptable to go open season on CEOs -- or media critters, or gender studies professors, or politicians -- there's jack and shit they can do about it.

There's a reason the journoscum are desperate to push this messaging. It's because they're next. And while they dangle from the nuts of the real elites they aren't of them. They're a lot easier to get to, too.

I like the idea of jury nullification, but that's the least likely outcome. He'd probably be shot while "resisting arrest" or else "commit suicide" while in custody. The Ancien Régime don't want people getting any ideas.

I hope they never find him. But they'll never stop looking.

Yeah, and people might use other things than guns, like knives, hammers, baseball sticks with rusted nails or a "car of peace" if they can't get a "truck of peace".

Perhaps we should have a way to separate the surgeons who are good from the surgeons who are sociopaths before letting them operate freely on the public?

Problem is the surgeons who are good ARE the surgeons who are sociopaths.

Find someone who thinks chopping and slicing people up is how they want to make their living and has no sociopathic traits. Go find that guy.

Wow that's literally me.

You're a pathologist?

That would be the most delicious irony.

I would put a trans flag and pronouns in my bio tbh.

Maybe this was a trans false-flag all along.

Nah it was viral marketing by a company selling overpriced hipster backpacks.

I wonder what sort of resources are being poured into this investigation vs. the average unsolved NYC murder?

Looks like you have an "ARREST CLEARANCE RATE" (their term) of around 50% right off the bat for murder, in the current quarter, but the numbers seem rather ... anemic after that. I'm guessing the longer it goes on, the less likely to get solved it becomes.



98 murders/47 arrests in Q3 2024; 30 arrests for ALL quarters prior to Q3. Sounds to me like if he makes it three months he's pretty much in the clear under normal circumstances, though I guess the dogs will never get called off and the money well to hunt for him will never run dry.

However, seems to me he only gets caught if he does something retarded like write and publish a Unabomber-type manifesto or maybe develops a taste for this kind of thing and goes back to the well multiple times. But if he just goes back to Dayton or Kansas City or Atlanta or wherever the fuck and quietly lives his life? I doubt he's ever caught.
