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

[Manimal House]

After so many shootings in America at schools/churches/public events, seeing one like this is dramatically different because 1) it makes sense, 2) many are celebrating it.

The only thing that is catching me off guard is how people NOT celebrating are being very non-chalant about it. I wonder if the shooter himself is reflecting on how easy it was to get away with it.

In good faith I said let's look at other social media. I know sometimes I can get caught up in a more.... let's say free speech tolerated sector of the internet. Where people share a lot of the same beliefs I do.

Let's see what reddit is saying. And the trannies.



Made me laugh. Yep. This bullshit is so beyond "left and right"

Even fucking reddit is up voting and buying rewards for each other who can give the best verbal sassy piss on this dude.

Redneck and Trannies both hate a fucking CEOs killing off their loved ones I guess.

Beautiful

You know it’s so funny there are almost no calls for gun control after this happened. Not that those calls ever led to much change, but I think all politicians know using this as a reason for gun control would get them booed out or worse.

The owner class wants this event to leave the public consciousness. If they push for gun control, they'll be starting a battle with one of the most passionate constituencies in US politics who never forget a slight. It would keep the idea at the forefront of people's minds for a long time while also reminding them that guns can be used to strike down the rich and powerful.

We may see a push for gun control later, for reasons that seem unrelated to this. Look for news shows to give tons more airtime to random shootings that would have been overlooked in the past.

They haven't decided who they're going to shoot and blame it on yet.

The CEOs are probably making it clear they won't settle for the hobo special.

My condolences, it’s always a little raw hearing about others who suffered with something I hafta carry.

While most MS cases aren’t considered fatal it is a disease that can disable you.

It hit her especially hard. She caught it in the 90s and there wasn't much out there that could help her degradation. I don't even have any memories of her walking around, just years of seeing her degrade from staying with my grandmother, then in-house care with nurses, and finally a decade of wilting away in God's Waiting Room.

I wouldn't want to be waiting weeks to see my doctor like in those evil socialist commie countries with public funded healthcare.

62 days for non emergency surgery? That’s fiddled somehow. Try a year plus. 62 weeks maybe.

Good thing I live an active lifestyle and exercise 5-6 days a week, never need to go to the doctor and aren't a drain on a healthcare system whether it be public or private which is probably way more than you can say for your weak sounding, geriatric ass.

The thing is, one day you too will be old, and even very active people get sick.

Yeah seems to really not be working out for Japan, Netherlands, UK, Finland, etc., all of whom have a far better system than the US and people don't need to go into 3 generations of debt to get cancer treatment

The uk system isn’t perfect by a long way. No you will not get into massive debt for cancer treatment and that is very good indeed. On the flip side, care is rationed. You may take a long time to get diagnosed and die because if it - there’s supposed to be a two week referral for suspected cancers but that’s not always adhered to. When being treated you will get the basic SOC, you will get nothing extra or fancy, and unless NICE has approved the treatment you won’t get it. So what you gain in one thing you lose in another. UK cancer survival rates are not great, even compared to ‘poorer’ countries like ex eastern bloc.
In Sweden you’re supposed to have a guaranteed 90 day max referral to a specialist, so that’s 90 days from GP to see the specialist, but that’s often breached as well. The fast, cheap, good triangle cannot be beaten unless you pay exorbitant amounts of money. Healthcare is expensive, so the fewer parasitic middlemen the better IMo. Government is also not a great administrator- the places I’ve lived that have the public/private mix seem to do it best.

I hope they never catch the little asshole

 

[Something Awful]

Isn't it weird how there are thousands of murders each year, but this one seems to be getting special attention from the police. It's almost as if the CEO class gets special treatment, funded by the taxpayers for some reason.

I love my Australian healthcare, I don't know if it's the best that's ever existed or if it's just the best in the world right now, all I know is that I sure do love it and I wouldn't want to see anyone shot like a dog in the streets for providing it.

Also, we're full.

 

[Smashed & Slamed]

I already know what the typical response to my post was. Failing to see the big picture about normalizing leftoid violence because you have crap health and crap health insurance is sort of the point of why I said it.

Is this just b8 or are you retarded?

didn't they lock you niggers in modern day concentration camps if you refused to take the MRNA genetic manipulation injection?

No, of course they didn't. That's something alt-righters in America made up completely and retards apparently still believe it, because I guess all you need to do to make an Amerimutt sit down and pay his premiums like a good boy is tell him "Actually in those evil socialist countries they have deathsquads that shoot anyone they see limping".

Have we reached folk hero yet? We got some artist hitting viral songs now about the situation.



I don't want to shill his channel but he's hitting over 600k likes and growing. Tiktok keeps deleting the songs and shit. But yeah. Now we have fucking music artist making songs about it?

Wow

you're talking to a socialist

I saw videos, however, where did they come from? all those people seemed super aus to me

 

[CEO of Gay]

If they don't catch him, I expect a generic corpse to be found in a park with a gunshot wound, or a floating body 'matching the suspects description', to be found in a nearby lake.

If they can't find him, they'll lie, cover it up and hope he doesn't strike again.

Can you imagine the amount of egg on their faces if he did strike again after supposedly getting killed in a shootout or been found as a suicide?

I don't think he'll strike again, though. This feels like a one and done.

Either you're looking at the emergency camps for homeless people and indigenous communities, or you're looking at the border quarantine for people trying to cross state borders during the pandemic. We look after our poor people and vigilantly police our borders 'round these parts.

How do you know what you're getting?

I'm being serious here. Healthcare isn't a good we readily consume so how and even when we do it's not something we usually try in other countries. On the off chance that we do, it's even harder to control for temporal, economic, and other factors.

As an example, we have two students that grow up lower middle class. Both are talented but one decides after studying aboard that he likes Australia and compares his experience with lower middle class / working class healthcare with the Australian state system.

The other student grows up and graduated from an Ivy league University in tech. They are hired to work for Google or Apple and enroll in the companies PPO (Higher tier private insurance). Such, he compares his upper level private insurance with the lower level state plan.

I ask because I have met people from Australia on my travels and many of the wealthier ones all have private insurance indicating that the Australian system just wasn't up to their liking.

 

[clipartfan92]

This is what should have happened to the tyrants who imposed COVID restrictions on the population.

 

[Dyn]

How do you know what you're getting?

I have no idea what I'm getting or how it compares to other countries, all I know is that people here complain about having to pay $200 out of pocket for an emergency service because they didn't bother going through insurance and people in America complain about being bankrupted and their life savings demolished. It's a big difference.

I ask because I have met people from Australia on my travels and many of the wealthier ones all have private insurance indicating that the Australian system just wasn't up to their liking.

Yes, having private options is part of the Australian system. The main reason all the wealthy Australians you met had private coverage isn't necessarily because they're unhappy with our poor people medicare, it's because we stack on an extra tax for high-income earners who use public healthcare.

As Dyn said, there's a tax for high-income earners if they use the public system.
The private system is only useful if you want your own room while you're in hospital, or if you're in a rush for non-life saving surgery (i.e cosmetics). Also, most surgeons will work in both public and private systems, so you have access to the same practitioners.

If you think the guy wouldn't get convicted at trial if he's caught and it went to a jury with good evidence proving he was the one that done did it, you're confusing the internet with the real world too much. On the internet it's fun to be edgy and get asspats celebrating an assassination of an ebil CEO and saying fuck yeah I'd vote to acquit the guy who gunned down an ebil CEO in the street. In normieworld the arguments that the victim had a fambly, ambushing someone and gunning them down in cold blood on the street is unacceptable, blah blah blah, carry real weight. Political murders have a bad track record of getting acquittals in the US and even in Europe where this kind of violence is historically more common and accepted

The ~3% of the population that is terminally online and eternally cutthroat in their online political sperging is not representative of the general population. It's been funny to watch people who previously enjoyed citing the demographic data showing people who talk politics a lot online are a very unrepresentative sliver of the population now enjoy talking about how that same sliver really hates muh CEOs, totally cool that this guy caught some bullets, like it's representative of public opinion. It's not
