Adrenaline is a hell of a drug. Putting evil people in the ground I'm sure feels satisfying too. Elation even.
 
Your starting point is incorrect and therefore the follow-on calculations are inaccurate.

Thanks - I also fucked up the population distribution - turns out it’s approximately flat till age 65. Which means our estimate might have been too low. Using a much lower unnecessary denial rate of 5%, but, since it’s averaged over the whole UHC member population we have 50M people.

We need to calculate how many of these people die. Let’s be generous to UHC and use the death rate for under 65s, which is 0.3% per year

This tells us that at least 150k UHC members die each year. Of these we can estimate how many are UHCs fault

The Harvard study says that not being coverd increases mortality by 40%. 5% of 40% puts the percent of those deaths that are UHC’s fault at 2%.

2% of 150k is 3000, which is actually greater than my previous estimate of 2800. That being said, the point of this analysis isn’t really to calculate an exact number of people who Bryan Thompson killed (only UHC has access to that data) it’s to figure out roughly what order of magnitude we’re talking about here

I’ve tried lots of different ways of calculating this number, and they all seem to end up somewhere between 1K and 10K

In the collective American psyche, this is similar to the scale of 9/11, where most people know someone who knows someone who was affected even if they themselves were not personally impacted. Which explains why people reacted to his death similarly to when Bin Laden was killed.

I just had to quote this from the article because it's so brain-dead. By retired FBI special agent Richard Frankel.

"You can be up in arms about the health care industry, but you can't threaten or actually hurt members of the health care industry."

Really shitty use of the metaphor there Mr. Frankel. Why would you be "up in arms" about something if you could never use them to hurt anyone. Fucking FBI.

Let's go back to the 1770's. "You can be up in arms about the the British taxation of the colonies, but you can't threaten or actually hurt representatives of the crown."
-Special envoy of the British crown, Richard Frankel.

It really is team sports to them. It's one thing to question the ethics of vigilante justice becoming normalized, but anyone actually upset that a greedy C-suite fuck caught lead has their head in the wrong space. His wife and children are set for life, as will be their children.

Most importantly, the people that govern us should be terrified of us. I hold no different standards to the people that wield power and influence to affect insurance policies or bribe congressmen. Just because CEOs are private sector doesn't mean they're immune from also screwing over the common man with the tools at their disposal.

They are so fixated on defending private healthcare at all cost because the alternative is socialized healthcare and Ronald Raygun would be rolling in his grave.

Yesterday I read up on a case of a guy who murdered his entire family in New Zealand, and was pronounced innocent after 13 years behind bars. Has a wife and a kid of his own now. Dude was caught with defense wounds given to him by one of his siblings. Had blood on his socks, washed his laundry before calling the police. Mentioned he wants to rape women and use his paper route as alibi (his paper route was an alibi for the murders), and so on.

I can only assume you're talking about the Bain family murders, and have picked up the cliff notes version of the case without any of the actual context or nuance. Good for you, it's about on par with most of the other half baked sentiments in this thread. Could you please do me the favour of pulling your hand out of your knickers before you post next time?

David Bain (aka William Davies) was released after a retrial and subsequent acquittal and not really because he was considered innocent. In fact during his compensation claim in 2015, it was concluded by the justice leading the comission that Bain was not innocent. The NZ government (as they tend to do) gave him just shy of a million NZD to fuck off and stop filing appeals. Hilariously he lives in Christchurch these days and when it was revealed he had a wife and kid, my friends and I took bets on when he'd do it again.

A lot of the retrial acquittal came down to technicality around evidence and reasonable doubt as you are technically right there was a fuck tonne of physical and circumstantial evidence pointing to his guilt. There is also however an amount of circumstantial evidence pointing to his father Robin Bain having committed a moider suicide as it was alleged he was engaged in an incestuous relationship with his daughter. A large chunk of the acquittal also came down to Joe Karam, pumping a lot of money into legal cases and media as he thought David Bain was innocent.

If you'd like an interesting post mortem; Black Hands by Martin Van Benyen is worth reading or listening too as he was present for a lot of the retrial and does a deep dive into the dysfunction around the family leading up to the murders.

The New Zealand example is just ANOTHER in the line retarded decisions of the New Zealand "justice system" sucking off killers and psychopaths for fun and coddling them. I was actually shocked they gave Brenton Tarrant a life sentence.

Please tell you're a completely ignorant jeet, without telling me you're an ignorant jeet.

There was no way in hell Brandon Tarrant was going to get anything other than PD as Brandon Tarrant is a White Australian who murdered a bunch of brown mostly foreign muslims. At the time our country was run by a coalition govt headed by a horse faced globalist named Jacinda Ardern. You may have heard of her. She used (still does) this incident to advocate for wider internet censorship (including of this very site) and to further restrict firearm ownership amongst law abiding citizens. I should know all of this as I remember having to explain to null and the other admins that this place was being blocked at a DNS level by local ISP's as our media is mostly trash, fairly biased in one political direction and used the experience to mostly engage in racism against whites (the people who were nice enough to allow any of these people in).


On the basis a lot of this countries media is a left biased (hell the last government threw money at them like it shit a wall), as are massive chunks of it's judiciary (most of it), police and public service - you can criticise on our justice system on plenty of things. Here are a couple I can think of off the top of my head:
* It's mostly racist in that for the last few years it has treated Maori as retarded children and allowed them a level of privileged not afforded to anyone else. The most recent example of this being the solicitor-general's prosecution guidelines.
* Judges picking fights with politicians in public. We currently have a coalition centre right government that has picked up the mess created by the centre left government and has managed to annoy the groups of people who benefited from the last government. Hence you see shit like this.
* Baby Ru - this is the latest in a long fucking line of kids in this country where nothing ends up happening and no one does anything.

As a final note, I don't really care about anyone involved in the original shooting as health insurance in the US is a scam and shooting an unarmed man in the back of the head is about as cowardly as they come. Although watching you lot try and twist this in one direction or another and compare this favourably to the Kenosha shootings does make you all look like a bunch of simps, retards and assholes.

Since Luigi's face dropped and turned every Gen Z woman's knickers into Niagara Falls, every autistic incel is coming out of the woodwork to get mad at women (and based men) doing what we do best; admiring heroic, bold, daring and handsome males.

"OMG HE SHOT THAT CEO IN THE BACK!!!" And? Would you prefer he challenged him to a samurai duel at the crack of dawn? Thompson was a filthy parasite and died as he lived: completely without dignity. I'm sure Brian is appreciative of your knob-slobbing as he burns in the fiery pits of hell.

To be fair, that's not exactly unheard of.
