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

[ToEnsureVerification]

If I had to bet It was probably wrestling that did him in with the back. That sport is a spine wrecker. And he probably did it quite intensely, that's why he's so fit.

 

[RodgerDodger]

Americans have a very warped idea of what a Commie is.

He seems to be an ultra conservative if anything.

Well except for the whole rabid anti-capitalist streak.

Can we accept that much like Kaszynski this dude is a hyperinteligent well read autist, who is assembling bits and pieces of political, philosophical and moral views together in some weird non standard frankensteinian way. Like the Zuni bomber he does not fit typical ideological molds.

 

[Berrakh]

Well I’ll be damned.
Apparently he’s a fan of Peter Thiel, remained a fan of Elon Musk, is into Ted K, follows AI, has positive replies to hereditarians, and is very concerned about DEI and the Woke Mind Virus.

Pretty much the best outcome. Reddit and commiefags can’t claim him now. All of these things are securely culturally right wing. Or at least kookily centrist. So they’re demoralized by this news and that makes my apprehension incorrect.

So I’ll take the L as far as that all goes.

But it does also mean all the populist motivations given in this thread are likely wrong too. It is said he hurt his back on a hike, back surgeries are a notorious minefield that insurance companies genuinely do make worse by forcing you to save them money on the surgery, and he started self-medicating with psychedelics to ease the pain.

Given his bespoke, sometimes contradictort, and semi-elitist politics (or just assuming the story about personal injury is true) he’s like if John Wilkes Booth was on uppers when he shot Lincoln (not an insult btw). An avatar of inebriated aristocratic vengeance. Not like a mob of townsfolk ousting the local bankster.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

People here claiming that he “disappeared” for a few months beforehand, are you getting that from one Twitter account asking him where he is? Because I haven’t seen anything saying his family or even an employer or people he may have worked with said he “disappeared.” One person tagging him on his Twitter account because he isn’t posting does not mean he disappeared.

It was several tweets from different accounts in July, October, and November including ones saying his family were looking for him. And that he ghosted a dude on wedding obligations.

[Apteryx Retardi]

I don't buy that a McDonald's employee just happened to recognize him. That smells like parallel construction to me.

About half of lolcow farms were flicking their beans over him (as well as wishing he'd to Trump or Musk next). Entirely believable.

As with Ted Kaczynski, the focus is being shifted from his message to his person, beliefs and details about how he got caught.

He acted. He rebelled and bit the hand of the system. I think his actions were useless in themselves (except probably for his own satisfaction), but in a time of videos, pictures and political porn, acting is in itself a powerful message.

What are you going to do? Will you keep watching porn (that is, the actions of others) and expressing your conformity and passivity through voting? (and that "you" is directed to myself too, I'm not better than anyone here)

I don't think shooting some other subhuman CEO or similar scum will help. But do get in touch with other people that see the hell on earth we are headed to. Talk to each other to clarify your ideas, identify your blind spot and biases. Help the people around you shift their focus from the kabuki theater of democracy to what actually matters to them. Let's do away with the hope that someone or something will save us. No one will but ourselves. And that can only be through action.

and he started self-medicated with psychedelics to ease the pain.

He wouldn't be the first to fry his brain on that stuff and then do something totally stupid. Use is actually consistent with his generally good planning combined with dumb mistakes.

 

[The Lawgiver]

This is the cosmic success jingle that played after he shot the guy 100%

Either that or the credits theme.

I haven't fact checked everything myself but I think people should be very wary of saying "fan" if he just followed an account or retweeted something or like a book written by someone at some stage.

I didn't read all 200 pages so apologies if it's been mentioned already but has anyone seen Saw VI? It's about a head of an health insurance company who's forced to choose which of his employees get to live or die. Near the end he has to face a family he recently fucked over by denying the dad's claim. Movie came out nearly 15 years ago and while the franchise went off the rails, it hits pretty hard knowing that this has been a problem for a long time and nothing has changed.

 

[Bindo]

If it is him, I hope the dude has videos uploading elsewhere other than YT. I assume it's a scheduled video release thing, but imho the people in power would see about getting the channel down before anything hits the public.

Spoiler: Rambling

So, dude goes full schizo for months and kills a CEO.... He had a degree could probably make decent money. It might have done more for the world putting that to use than on just a few bullets and getting himself jailed indefinitely.

A few pages back there was discussion of indications that he was working on automating his Twitter account...

 

[Prokhor Zakharov]

When he gets tried someone needs to stand outside the courthouse where the trial takes place with a large, clear sign that says "Jury Nullification!"

From his Google Drive: he suffers from L5 Spondylolisthesis. Grabbed from his notes from his review of Bigger Leaner Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Male Body

 

[CharlesBarkley]

Ah, this explains everything. Multi-level lumbrosacral fusion. This guy is likely living with pain (possibly severe), radiculopathy, and possibly lower body muscle weakness, paresthesia and dysesthesia. I can almost guarantee there are therapies and treatment that could provide him with relief that he was denied by his health insurance as "unproven or experimental", his condition isn't "severe" enough, or it just plain isn't covered. I'd shoot a CEO over that as well.

Pfff.. they should have told him to search Ringdinger on YouTube. This all could have been prevented. The trick to fix every back problem is a towel and some dude trying to yank your skull off.

Didn't that stupid little puppet nigga on the tiny bike kill someone because he liked to smoke cigarettes with his wife? And, like another time, he killed a woman because she farted on a baby? I wouldn't assume that SAW films have a good morality lessons or a scale to judge.

It's even deeper than that my friend. Videos and images have now been given the superpower of the internet and can be distributed and become famous in mere moments - this guy is literally porn. Women and gay guys have been fantasizing over his massive eyebrows and smile for the past few days and are no doubt recharging their Hitachi wands to have another goon session while scrolling through pictures of his muscular Italian body.

It's not unusual that folk heroes are usually richer than the classes that adore them

 

[ZazietheBeast]

Its awfully convenient that there's a manifesto, a gun and the fact he was caught in McDonald's with everything required to make an example of him. Reminds me of this scene in V for Vendetta when they couldn't catch V.

Its peculiar since this supposed 'dude' pulled off a hit and escaped in the most camera laden, security crawling section that makes Klaus and Fink's balls tingle. While the possibility of him being a midwit is there, I also don't buy this convenient catch.

It doesn’t surprise me in the least that TPTB have found a name and a set of opinions to prop up as the culprit here. The Adjuster as myth is dynasty-ending, Peasants’ Revolt level of dangerous for them. I plan on never learning his name, out of pure spite. They pulled this shit with OWS: divide and conquer. Don’t get lured out into the weeds where they want you.

That's the thing. Its a little TOO convenient. Which begs the question. What are they gonna do once other high ranking people gets whacked? Start making up more patsies?

One thing is for certain though. They are scared. And they understand perfectly that they're unworthy of the crown sitting on their head.

Oh they're retarded movies, absolutely, but it was obviously inspired by the healthcare debate at the time.
