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

[The Nothingness]

No I know but like what about this guy in particular? I mean what does he even believe in?

He supposedly had Mein Kampf on his Goodreads account or something.

Yeah, but everyone should read that, whether they come to Hitler's conclusions or not. It's important historical literature.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

This whole thing still makes no sense.

I'm not buying any of it.

 

[Éamonn Ceannt]

So...do we have a specific motive or...

There is nothing for Mein Kampf on it but there is this.



He also had The Lorax, something written by Elon Musk, Brave New World, How To Change Your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics, and a AI book in his list of favorites so make of that what you will.

I’m begging you to try reading the thread or use the search function instead of asking us to repeat the same bullshit we’ve been discussing every page since his identity was revealed. Back pain, psychedelics, bad insurance interactions, belief in violence for extreme injustices.

What’s really fucked yo though, is that the private system where I live is way cheaper than in America

Thats how it works in most of state healthcare for all . State healthcare if you cannot afford waiting for months to get looked at with lower quality of care that they will patch you up . Its there to give choice to people as lowering the upper costs for necessary services if you want to skip line and enjoy while you get care, you pay extra but not by a much. Other things they do is make medical school cheap and available to the best and have same amount of residence placements that students graduated without bankrupting families and indebting graduates.


You want cheap healthcare, make medical school cheap/ debts massively forgiven if you work for few years in state healthcare and have residency placements for all that graduate.

Yeah but like are there even enough men out there who want to be doctors for healthcare to ever be cheap?

 

[Dr J]

I mean, literally all shooters get scrubbed. Things like reddit and twitter leave an active trace, I'm saying despite there were no traces/remnants.
No manifesto nothing, no hint of anything. Being unable to load a deleted profile is different from not knowing any of his online handles

Because the Feds, who were in charge of the investigation, got to all of that before his name was ever released to the public. We know more about this guy because his name was released before the Feds ever got to it

With sufficient " motivating" there will be .

Hmm...and what about the other jobs that men also need to fill?

 

[Adam Lanza]

Yeah, but everyone should read that, whether they come to Hitler's conclusions or not. It's important historical literature.

This literally doesn’t matter. PewDiePie was called a Nazi for having a white family and posting pictures of it, so of course reading Mein Kampf is enough to get you labeled as one. The shooter seems to have been a smart enough guy, so he probably just wanted to read it because it’s an important book that gives a different perspective on the world than mainstream slop. I SERIOUSLY doubt he did it because he’s a Nazi, that’s not backed up by anything else, but acccusations of Nazism are inevitable for mass shooters if they so much as make one edgy racial joke on their Twitter account when they were 14.

AHh yes, that's what I want in my surgeon. Gimme the one that was picked because the government Sorting Hat said so.

Yes. Sometimes dominoes.

@Oxyjen
The injury he got would have been from a "low impact" part of surfing:

https://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/surfers-spine-causes-prevention-and-treatment-of-back-pain

He had a pre-existing condition (spondylolithises).

I also think the guy had a narcisisstic streak. Lots of shirtless pictures and tons of time at the gym.

I think people will keep cheering though. Even if he was wealthy, most of the poor schlobs bitten by denials would have done the same thing if they had the cognitive/financial resources to pull it off. Vigilantism might be rare, but vengence certainly isn't.

PSA:
Personal life lesson to everyyone. If you're laying in bed in so much pain you can barely move, go to the ER. I used to think the ER was only if you were dying or had an obvious stroke, but not going until I had neurological defecits was a mistake. Since then I've gone twice and prevented much more serious complications because of it.

I gotta respect a manifesto that's short and sweet at least.

 

[Justa Grata Honoria]

We have to get @Vingle on the jury.

We need to deport his degen ass from Norway.

so what you guys are saying is that i need to move to new york so i can acquit Mr Luigi? no sweat.
