“All murder is wrong! You’re all sick!”
Oh, cool, so we agree, let’s decommission and dismantle our for profit military industrial complex, demilitarize the police, ban the death penalty, and remove all guns from civilian society immediately!
The logically and ethically correct response, as usual, is the one drawn from leftist theory.
Killing in self defense has been a cornerstone of human legal systems since human society has existed.
Violence comes in many forms. This time it was a bullet. It could be a denied healthcare claim. It could be excessive copays and deductibles. It could be wage theft. It could be abuse of workplace power dynamics.
Employers shouldn’t have started the violence if they didn’t want people to start defending themselves.
Exactly. An important point to make is this was, is, and will be a murderous rampage by him and whoever they appoint to sit in the chair. That’s the job. To fuck over the customers who trusted them with their very lives and prepared for disease by paying them ahead of time in the name of private profit.
This literally happened at a meeting about how to deny their claims more, and this event didn’t change that. They want to kill their customers when they become inconvenient. All for profit insurers do.
And they’re allowed, LEGALLY, to casually discuss at a conference how they’re going to KILL these customers and those customers on this buried technicality and that legal loophole and that’s fine, but in most circles the people who’ve experienced their sociopathic, ice cold, emotionless rampage for private greed, will be silenced for so much as expressing approval of what happened a few days ago.
Profit belongs in making widgets, not in sectors people need to survive. I’ve been screaming that for years, and they called me madman.
Im so defeated that I’m literally telling myself not to trust any hope.
The fact this guy is still free and has a chance to see these memes must warm his heart
He assassinated an immoral asshole who has profited on the needless pain, suffering, and death of millions.
The reaction can’t be too surprising.
I’m curious about his reasoning. I hope he gets away, just curious if he was denied claims, or if a loved one was, or just sending a message. or if he’s just looking for the other half of his Boondocks Saints duo.
The reasoning or motive are almost suspiciously clear: Thompson is was the CEO of a widely despised health insurance company under scrutiny for a lot of shady shit. The shooting happened just before 7 in the morning on a busy street in the biggest and most active city in the nation. Edit to add: In front of the hotel in which the company’s investor meeting was to take place. Left behind at the scene are bullet casings with the words “Delay” “Deny” and “Dispose” written on them which seem to allude to the company’s habit of denying medical care.
It’s so damn obvious that I’m starting to doubt it.
The thing that really gets me is, I can think of several other grievance killings like this; Timothy McVeigh, The Unabomber, a bunch of their ilk, folks who hurt or killed people over sociopolitical grievances. They tended to be terroristical and only managed to swat vaguely in the direction of their enemy; Timothy McVeigh for example bombed a government building killing or injuring hundreds of non-policy making government employees from a number of different agencies, and 19 children in the building’s daycare center. Kaczynski was kind of mad that the modern world had happened and mailed bombs to universities.
Then we have this latest guy, who apparently had a beef with UnitedHealthCare, and dealt with it by assassinating the CEO with a silenced pistol. One rich asshole down, one terse yet loud and clear message delivered to the rest of his ilk, no innocent bystanders hurt.
When’s the last time that happened in the English-speaking world?
That’s the beauty of it. Millions of people have worse lives because of this asshole, so by having an anonymous killer take him out, we all get to feel a little justice.
It’s been 3 days now and Robin Hood is still at large. It makes me wonder what medical insurance plan the NYPD offers. Wouldn’t it be a tragedy if the investigating officers were on UHC plans? Just tragic…
Also, ACAB. Just in case someone takes this as supporting police.
After all, a raider in a suit is still a raider.
