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

If you guys want some good news, given the amount of positive attention he’s getting any guy who was planning to Minecraft his school will now be looking up addresses of CEOs in his area instead. The copycats will be hilarious.

Some of his specific anecdotes about Japan are distorted or blown out of proportion (maid cafes aren't causing low birthrates) but he clearly sees that the overall problem is a stifling, disconnected culture that offers people nothing to believe in. There's no reason for people to work to uphold a society where the only goal is to show off by buying expensive consumer goods.

I can't find the source for this - But afew years ago I remember hearing that a majority of men who use Onlyfans are married. He misprescribes symptoms as the root problem - People who use porn would generally rather have sex with someone who loves them. People who use Maid cafes would rather just have a loving wife who cares for them and is sweet to them.

IMO it's just a crisis of lacking real human connection or comradeship, everything needing a level of oversight and regulation. alot of people aren't incapable of getting into relationships and marriages and having children, they simply don't love someone strong enough to feel secure doing that. Which is pretty much what the Unabomber believed, too. We've been taken out of a natural environment and domesticated.

Access to food isn't tied to some shitty employer-sponsored plan.

Nor does healthcare have to be. I just outlined why it is, and why that doesn't work. Individual and family private healthcare insurance is a rapidly growing industry in Scandinavian countries that people consider the gold standard for healthcare.

I do not think he did it. I think this is a set up.

A man who loves Uncle Ted, starts off his manifesto with that? That he loves the feds and he acted alone?

This fucking STINKS.

Edit: AND he plead not guilty. Bros it's a setup.

I agree, there are too many fishy things about this case. The fact that he and his mother have no reason to have any problem with insurance from United because the family is wealthy, even if they had UHC policies and the company dicked them around they could have paid the difference out of pocket. The way he was caught perfectly red-handed with the help of a snitch whose identity no one can figure out.

Then there's the "printed ghost gun" claim. Who printed it for him? Or did he print it? Did he have prior experience with 3D printing? Serious printing takes a lot of equipment and skill, you don't just order a printer and start cranking out pistol frames. It involves joining the metal pressure-bearing parts with the printed frame with tight tolerances, it's a task for a dedicated hobbyist with years of skill not a guy coming off a drug bender who can't move without extreme pain.

I wonder if the divide between fiction and reality in this case is the surveillance video from the hostel. In the actual shooting video we never get a glimpse of the shooter's face and the jacket/backpack combo aren't necessarily the same as the hostel guy, both videos are grainy. It could be that Luigi went nuts on ayahuasca, started bumming around the country on some kind of vision quest and happened to be in NYC and look enough like the shooter to use as a patsy.

Some things I'd like to know are: how was Luigi carrying his gun and laptop when he got caught? Another backpack? Where did he get the black coat? Did he show up on any cameras wearing it between NYC and PA? Is there any clue as to how he changed clothes and equipment between the shooting and his capture?

The man in reason a McDonald’s worker would care to report someone like this is they expect a payday. They’re not having moral dilemmas over whether to report as it’d be mostly about the money for them.

Even Judas got his 30 pieces of silver.

I’ve been saying this for years but everyone called me crazy for it, glad to finally see some validation.

Is that why he was targeted? Because everybody loved him so much? I don't know if you're like, a third worlder or what, but here in first world countries we teach our children this concept known as "cause and effect". I recommend looking into it, quite interesting stuff if you apply the theory widely enough.

It is pretty unique to have actual execs targeted rather than just some lower level employees. Usually you imagine this kind of violence happening because of some random idiot with poor impulse control rather than someone relatively intelligent that wanted to target someone at the top of the system that he viewed as responsible for situations like his.

Usually we expect those higher ups in these companies to be fairly shielded from anyone that their work may have affected so that it would hardly matter what fucked up things they did, no one would think of touching them.

Which makes me have to wonder the logic of those acting outraged. Do they genuinely think those insurance execs should be treated as untouchable no matter what effect their companies have on the healthcare industry?

Interesting that Mangione and Brian Thompson were both class valedictorians, and ironic that Mangione, who came from an extremely wealthy influential family goes on to be viewed-by many people anyway- at as a hero to the struggling classes while Thompson who was emerged from a humble working class background-his mom was a beautician, his father was a grain elevator worker- is looked at by many as a villain who's enrichment came from the misery of the very same class of folks that he and his parents once were.

Buddha was a prince who had everything. Jesus was a working class man who came from nothing. Both achieved great things. It’s what you choose to do with the life you were born into that matters

Authorities do all kinds of retarded shit that the people should be outraged over but things never happen to them. They force people arrested for drugs to become CIs and risk their lives trying to catch big time criminals or they’ll be ruined. They use the courts to get shit like qualified immunity and protect cops who fuck up. And let‘s not even go into Civil Asset Forfeiture. So yeah the idea that the police would offer a reward but stack the ability to claim that reward against tipsters is believable to me. They are relying on the Idea that the media won’t cover such stories and that people as a whole are still willing to buy into the idea that the system works and participating in it will be more beneficial than not. So I dunno maybe they pay out maybe they don’t but it’ll probably be years before anyone sees anything and whether they check off the 50 different requirements to claim it. Or even who gets it between the old man who noticed the guy or the employee who actually made the call and lol even if they called the right number because if they didn’t call the tipline apparently they are fucked from what I read.

Apparently you get a unique reference number from Crimestoppers that you need to remember. So you only get the money if you say, two years from now when he’s been convicted, remember the 12 digit code they gave you when you called in the tip.

TLDR: It’s like the insurance companies that want your premiums but doesn’t want to pay up.
They want you to snitch, but try making it as unlikely as possible to hold up their end of the deal.

At least the Romans didn’t try to be niggardly when Judas wanted to get paid.

Saw someone compare Luigi here to Kyle Rittenhouse on Twitter garnering around 200k likes, saying that if Kyle could go free then so should this guy.

Ignoring that I honestly don't think he's the actual assassin, comparing these two situations and then framing Rittenhouse as worse seems so strange to me. Like I get Twitter communists gonna Twitter communist but in what universe is murdering a corrupt CEO, shooting him in the back on the sidewalk because his company fucked you over like a year prior, even remotely similar to shooting two retards that are physically attacking you, one of whom has a gun pointed at you?

Don't be fooled, they are all attacking you. Just cos one wears a suit and eats lobsters and shits on a golden toilet doesn't mean he's not actively doing things to ruin your life. Stop worshipping money holy shit

 

[Homegrown Homophobia]

Seeing Ben Shapiro and especially Matt Walsh getting mad that their paypigs aren't marching in step in much with their tunes is pretty damn funny. Matt is taking it even worse and personal than Ben is it seems, and on his FB page it seems like he's made at least 3 or 4 posts chastising his audience about it today. I wouldn't be surprised if Matt has a huge inferiority complex to Ben being his second banana and for not having a university degree like Little Ben does. Just for once I want to see both of those faggots be forced to debate and argue economic issues instead of more stupid and divisive culture war crap.

I'm so sick of the moralizing and culture war bullshit from right wing talking heads. We live in a country that's just elected a felon who's smashed tons of puss for president (And I'm proud to say I voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and this year) and was birthed in anger and violence because we didn't want to pay unjust taxes with nothing in return for God's sake. It's also disgusting in the the boomercon and right wing grifter spheres how they just can't comprehend that people are freethinking, and can learn about ideas on their own accord and aren't not just stupid automatons following team A or team B dogmatically. It's also especially angering to see the no true scotsman fallacy in action being used against Luigi's many right wing supporters by retards on Facebook. God forbid we find common ground with others instead of becoming more angry and divisive with each other.

Also seeing Luigi's physique makes me never want to skip lifting weights or running ever again.

Those in the minority with their "Oh nOoOo think of the poor CEO!!11" takes fail to realize is that while they see these parasites as "people," the average CEO or corporate type sees actual real people as nothing more than cattle. People with their own lives and struggles being reduced to marks to make buck off of by these actual fucking demons. What Luigi did when he righteously smoked that insect wearing human skin cannot be rightly called murder, but rather an exorcism. America is a country full of these demons, nothing more than fetid ticks who feed on the life force of good people who are just trying to get by without getting assfucked by either a corporation or the state.
Demons who feed off the suffering of the sick and incapacitated with chronic illnesses
Demons who feed off endless wars wherein hundreds of thousands needlessly die, our own boys coming back fucked up beyond repair jumping at shadows
Demons who trick and corrupt young children into mutilating themselves irreversibly while making a profit off of them until the day they kill themselves
I could really go on, but the point is that since Demons are not people, what Luigi did technically did not constitute murder.
It's no more murder than crushing a mosquito to death
Food for thought!

>criticises people for dehumanising others to justify their exploitation
>dehumanises people in order to justify their murder

If you want to engage in rank hypocrisy, I can't stop you. Dehumanise away. But it's my duty to at least comment on what you are doing, because one day you'll have to justify it before God.

And based on the responses so far, you'll fail. You can't even justify it before me.

The infighting between the old lolbertarian right and the new communist right has been funny to watch.

Anyways I'm having a really hard time believing in the Mcsnitch story, if only because it should be impossible to identify someone's face from only what the police have released.
Alternate theories:
- Parallel reconstruction
- The guy intentionally got himself caught, which would make sense why he's carrying all that stuff and a manifesto on him
- He's not even the right guy
