UnitedHealthcare CEO shot to death in Manhattan

[Alma.Innovadora]

the same crowd that posted videos complaining at how Trump's would be assassins missed their shot. Another part of me understands why someone would, perhaps not celebrate, but at least hold not that much empathy, or any.

Like those who celebrate the death penalty in China and want it to be applied in their countries too as a feasible means to end corruption in their countries without taking into account that it could be used to clean up according to the psychopath on duty.

What does this mean? that Elon Musk can also receive an attempt on his life?... it is practically the parallel business profile as an objective.

An interesting objective, it seems that it is important to show the level of objective to be able to attack and not the person himself or his work, is the position of the person and his impact on public opinion that in this case, they support and shout "thumbs down" by networks and leaving aside the total respect for life without giving space to any clarification of anything.

And lovers of psychopaths are never left behind... like when in my country there were women wishing to have children as Marines in case of invading the country:

“I don't see enough discussion about how sexy the killer is and that's the real crime in this whole thing,” one X user wrote.

Another user indicated: "UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter copycat contest in my room at 8pm tonight” and another cheekily added: "Babe, wake up, the alleged CEO shooter is discreet and sexy."

According to the Daily Beast, “In a 2018 interview with Cosmopolitan, a professor of forensic psychology at DeSales University described a type of attraction that occurs when a person “becomes sexually aroused because another person commits an offensive or violent act.” The public's recent fascination with the Menendez brothers, Ted Bundy and other disreputable men over the years seems to back this up."

“Are those photos really of the shooter? Please, I hope so. America needs a sexy killer" one X user wrote.

No evidence to back up your bolded statement, nor does it take into account the possibility that the killer was programmed and just went off. Why did he go sit in a McDonald's after murdering someone in broad daylight on a New York city street? Why did he start screaming at the media when he was being taken into the holding facility? Seems like you're assuming motive when it's not clear.

I think California just had an experiment with that recently when they basically decriminalized retail theft, turning portions of the state into a free for all. Yes, we're talking about street crime vs white collar crime which isn't exactly the same thing, but it's similar enough to make my point: once accountability was removed crime skyrocketed. Is there really that much difference between robbing a store at gunpoint and presiding over an elaborate scam which steals millions of dollars? The second instance is far more serious, I would think. If there were more fear of retribution it would send a message that the sheep will not allow themselves to be so compliantly fleeced, and give the elites more cause to consider keeping their corruption within certain bounds lest something happen to them. Now let me stop right here and say I much prefer rule of law to vigilante justice, but when rule of law no longer works, well...

This goes beyond insurance companies treating people badly and implicates the fraudulent nature of the entire US medical system. I've seen some estimates that almost 20% of GDP is tied up in the medical system in some way when it used to be like 4% in the early 70s, and medical care didn't get 5x better. Also, hospitals don't have posted prices for procedures and seem to make it up as they go along depending on whether or not you have insurance and which insurance you have, subject to all kinds of back-room chicanery to settle on whatever the final price is. Furthermore, the price of the exact same prescription drug in the US is multiples of what it would be in Canada or Europe. The uninsured price is so high you are almost back to 1800s level of care without insurance. All of this is like a subtle form of extortion and violates price fixing laws and the Sherman antitrust act I believe, but has been normalized in the US over a period of decades because the medical industry is well-connected with the federal government pouring huge amounts of money into it. Like the dalliances of Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden, it doesn't matter if what they do is illegal or not. The fact that Mr. Thompson seemed to profiting from this so handsomely gives me no sympathy whatsoever for how his story ended, and seemed to be a case of what goes around comes around.

It's entirely possible that the shooter in this instance was some kind of agent provocateur, but even so, I think he still represents a lot of legitimate anger people have with the medical system. The slippery slope aspect comes into play regarding how far down the roster of employees you assign such a degree of culpability, to which I don't have a precise answer and perhaps the PTB are hoping that everyone will lose their head and start shooting at everyone else, but the leader is definitely responsible for what the organization does or making strong efforts to fix it. Mr. Thompson seems very much complicit.

As for those arguing along the line that murder is never justified, I think such people who truly believe that live in a very barren moral universe, as most of the great heroes of history and mythology, Putin, Caesar, Charles de Gaulle, George Washington, Odysseus, and so forth were murderers of some persuasion. In my opinion, there is a lot of pearl-clutching in an effort to appear educated or morally superior regarding the sanctity of life, which I'm not sure applies in this case.
