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

Suspect in killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO may have suffered a back injury last year, NYPD chief says​

From CNN’s Steve Almasy
The suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson may have suffered a back injury on July 4, 2023, New York Police Chief of Detectives Joe Kenny told Fox News on Tuesday afternoon.

“Some of the writings that he had, he was discussing the difficulty of sustaining that injury,” Kenny said of evidence related to the suspect, Luigi Mangione. “So, we’re looking into whether or not the insurance industry either denied a claim from him or didn’t help him out to the fullest extent.”

Kenny said investigators have looked at a handwritten document that was found with the suspect when he was arrested Monday and his social media postings.

Mangione was aware UnitedHealthcare was holding an investors’ conference around the time Thompson was shot and killed — and the suspect mentions he will be going to the conference site, according to the document, the chief of detectives said.

Thompson normally had his own security with him when at home in Minnesota, but chose not to while in New York, Kenny said.

(((( Police received 200 tips about the shooting, but none named Mangione, Kenny added. ))))

And nothing at all will change
Good work dumbass.

It might. Evey normal person is going ‘yay, dude had a point’ and your current Gov is saying they need to fix health care.

If anything, I can absolutely see things changing. But that’s because the people that want to are already moving to do so.

If anything Luigi might have just been able to win if he’d just waited and done nothing.

 

[VargReallyDidNothingWrong]

Yeah I am sure you do, you raging homo nigger. Choke on gas with your marxist bullshit.

His daddy was a grain elevator worker therefore him being the CEO of the biggest health insurer in the US is irrelevant!!

Save your spittle for polishing the cocks of the rich

I mean he knew when and where the CEO was gonna be at and leave to the tee. That does take some social engineering, to some degree, to acquire that information.

• He waited outside the entire night. So it was hardly like he knew it "to the tee".
• I theorized earlier in the thread that he just called up the conference place to figure out whether they were hosting the conference
• Supposedly the hotel/conference place are across the street from each other (source: reddit thread that I read) - I am guessing he also socially engineered the hotel to figure out if Brian or any other CEO-tier UHG person was staying there.

"socially engineer" in all these cases in case people don't know can be as simple as pretending to be his personal assistant or someone from his parent company or just calling and saying you want to reconfirm a booking for firstname, lastname

But we can all agree the commercialisation of healthcare is a disaster for anyone who has to live under it.

I don't agree. Why is commercialization of healthcare bad, but not food or other essentials? It's not. If you made food free and abundant, people would gorge themselves until there was nothing left. Over-utilization of services is just one problem that plagues single-payer nations, resulting in long waits, ballooning budgets, and state sponsored euthanasia as a logical conclusion. So we need prices so that healthcare is accessed by people who actually need it and profit motive to ensure that everything is efficiently run.

Corporations have one prime directive, and that's profit. CEOs will do anything to mitigate risk and deliver a profit to shareholders in whatever situation they find themselves in, up to and including making everyone's lives hell. But that's their job, and this works when there is freedom of choice. The problem is in the circumstances that created this environment to begin with. Roosevelt freezing wages in the 40s incentivizing employers to offer benefits packages to remain competitive set a precedent for employer-sponsored healthcare. When they're spending their own money for someone else's benefit, they'll choose the cheapest viable option. That's how you end up with so many people depending on a shit corporation like UHC.

Decades of regulations later and attempted remedies from the government have created the worst of all worlds in the US. A system as broken as any socialist hellhole combined with the worst profiteering. The problem is with state-sponsored effective monopolies, and killing CEOs is not going to do a damn thing to fix it.

I feel bad for that mcdonald's employee since they'll be the one to suffer the most suffer the most.

I don't. Snitches deserve to suffer the most.

Mangione could be heard yelling, in part, “it’s completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people. It’s lived experience” as he was being escorted out of the car and into the building.

Well to be fair that was some pretty gay shit to say and extradition is a completely formal process and the only issue is was there a crime, is the authority requesting extradition an actual authority, and is this the actual person accused of that crime.

If he really wants to talk some shit he can always fire his lawyer and self-represent, and considering he's getting utterly ass-fucked no matter what he does, I hope he does and talks mad shit at the trial.

God I hate that faggot, he is so totally the example of journoscum who descend like locusts on disaster scenes to ask people shit like "so how do you feel now that your house burned down and your entire family died?" Yeah I feel fucking awesome you goddamn dick.

Raskolnikov had means and options, he really just wanted to put his ideals and intellect to the test.

But when pressed, he seemed to have trouble even explaining his ideals coherently.

I mean I think he's brought a CEO and Company to more attention both domestically and worldwide. I like that he dropped references to people who might have addressed the problem more extensively.
People might have hoped for a deeper work of manifesto but who's to say that wouldn't be harder to spread.

 

[Uber driver reviewer]

that's just retarded, having some economic positions that are considered by normalfags to be left-leaning does not equal communism, that's just Boomer brained as shit, I oppose cultural marxism, but the fact of the matter is any Just Government would pass regulations and strengthen social programs to ensure no one dies of a disease because they cant afford treatment, nothing culture warish about that.

Bro….thats how we got to this stage of failure,….


Remember Alex jones and Sarah paling talking about “death panels” ahead of the ACA passing under Obama? They were right, except it wouldn’t be beurocrats. Instead the death panels ended up being corporations….

 

[Miles Gloriosus]

I heard the hospital refused treatment to Brian Thompson because his UnitedHealthcare policy said gunshot wounds are classed as a pre-existing condition. Maybe Luigi can get off with an assault charge.

 

[Sekirodiealot]

I don't. Snitches deserve to suffer the most.

Not really. Ain't like they were in league with the CEO. Than again, they probably did it for the reward money. If it exists that is.

He probably just stalked the guy on LinkedIn and when the conference came up, saw his chance.

If he was going to the lengths of social engineering the hotel, he’d also be a professional assassin who would have got his room number and done the hit there with basically no risk.

 

[Helvetia]

He probably just looked it up on LinkedIn.

it was an investors conference, if you look at Brian's LinkedIn, or UHG's website, you can see where it was going to be held and what time things were going to start. It doesn't take a genius to work it out from there. Although Luigi is a genius, and very handsome.

 

[neger psykolog]

He probably just stalked the guy on LinkedIn and when the conference came up, saw his chance.

• CEO fag hadn't used his LinkedIn in more than a year (I archived it earlier in the thread). He didn't make posts in any case that were shit like "I'm attending NigCon 1998 next week! hit me up for a free fentanyl voucher!".
• Luigi arrived in NYC 2 days before the conference was publicly announced
• Therefore, absent any other theory: Luigi 100% sat and called hotels + conference centers + probably UHG itself and figured out where and when shit was happening.
• I think Luigi may not have even been targeting Brian Thompson specifically at this point, its more likely he was looking for any CEO-level person in the wider UH group.

If he was going to the lengths of social engineering the hotel, he’d also be a professional assassin who would have got his room number and done the hit there with basically no risk.

Nigger, going into an actual hotel which is plastered with CCTV that is in a well lit area and having the risk of hotel staff question you while you try and get access to a specific floor (likely only possible with an actual hotel room yourself because most hotel elevators do not let random people visit any floor) is a thousand times more riskier. Then you get into all the messy details of knocking on the door, gunshot noises in a hotel, possible physical altercation/struggle, people screaming, bitches running around, security and all sorts of shit.

You can get away with covering your face and wearing a hoodie on the street - that shit will not fly in a hotel.

Doing it on the street while Brian was walking from his hotel to the conference venue was the far less riskier option.

We call this adverse selection.

”We”

In yet another demonstration of what they really think of any commoner dumb enough to unironically shill for & support them, TPTB is now trying to get out of paying the reward money to the snitch. (Archive)

Lol this just furthers my suspicion that there is no McWagie informant, the authorities are trying to launder their methods. “The McDonald’s worker said they saw Mangione around 9:15am ‘acting suspiciously‘ in the restaurant, adding that he appeared to have fraudulent documents” in what situation have you ever been in where had to show any documents or ID to Wackdonalds employees being paid 2 Big Wacs an hour.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

He mentions inequality once

You know why it triggers the conservitards? Because its true. When the average plebe, who got a garbage public school education, finally figures out who's really fucking them over they're all at risk at having their heads on a pike. The average American has been lied to, cheated out of wages and benefits while the rich and political elites fuck around in the Middle East/Africa and (now) Eastern Yurop while wages stagnate due to unrestrained illegal immigration, infrastructure is falling apart killing your 10 year old car and no one can afford to buy a starter home while they convince our children they need trans affirming care, well, the average plebe now has nothing left to lose.

And its keeping them up at night.

Justice is its own good end, whether it sparks more justice or not.

If there's anything to learn out of this whole ordeal, is that Null should stay the fuck away from ayahuasca and 3D printers, lest he wakes up one day from a stupor, inside a whataburger, getting arrested after going into an international rampage of justice dealing murder around the globe.

I second this. My main guess as to how they found him is that they made a facial recreation from all the people he interacted in the hostel. Probably the girl who he took his mask off from. They computerized the recreation and then they ran it through a node of videofeeds that picks up probable hits through AI; McDonald's probably being connected to the node. If it was a boomer he would have already blabbered his mouth to the media about how smart he is for the ego boost.
