Summary
Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot in a premeditated attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown before speaking at an investor conference.
The gunman, still at large, fired multiple times, leaving shell casings marked with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.”
Authorities suggest Thompson was targeted but remain unclear on the motive. His wife confirmed prior threats against him.
Analysts speculate a possible vendetta tied to his company. The case raises questions about executive security, as Thompson lacked personal protection despite known risks.
Every single billionaire has working class people in their direct employ. Just saying.
Many household objects can be used as weapons. Just saying.
I finally understand what certain people mean when they talk about “good guys with guns”.
Thoughts and deductibles to his family.
Sorry, thoughts are not in network with your health care plan.
Was the CEO drinking? Might have brought it on himself.
Did you see what he was wearing? Was basically asking for it really.
Authorities suggest Thompson was targeted but remain unclear on the motive.
Friggin Sherlock Holmes’ over here.
The case raises questions about executive security
“We won’t be pressured into changing the system we’ll just protect the rich exploiters better”
To those upset that this is headline news because he’s rich, remember that exposure breeds copycats.
It would be a shame if the rich got eaten. I do not support eating the rich
I don’t want food poisoning
If you’re going to, use some sweet baby rays.
Or maybe a sauce that’s not owned by a decent sized corporation pulling in 10s of millions a year…?
Homemades the way to go for sure but idgaf what BBQ sauce someone decides to use. I didn’t say use fucking kc masterpiece.
I didn’t say you did. I was specifically commenting on the sweet baby Ray’s.
If you’re going to eat the rich, don’t give more money to the rich when you season them…
¾ cup yellow mustard
½ cup honey
¼ brown sugar
½ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon of ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder, or ½ tsp fresh finely minced garlic
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper powder
½ teaspoon salt
For extra spice ½ teaspoon or more of your favorite hot sauce.
Combine in a saucepan, and whisk together till smooth
Heat to a simmer, and low simmer for 10 minutes, stirring constantly
Store in the fridge overnight.
Surely you’d make an exception if the mass-market seasoning used on a CEO was sold by that CEO’s own company!
A better choice for ya:
Shop local, get it from a farmer’s market
Oh no, how terrible.
nice.
I don’t give two flying fucks about the investigation of this case. A dead shitty CEO of a company that has openly declined more coverage to those who’d need it most, is good news to me and all that I want to know.
Kudos to the gunman.
I’d say, the gunman is a world hero.
The case raises questions about executive security,
Of course this is the lesson. Not that everyone hates you, your company, the business, etc. It’s not our actions. We just need security.
Pretty soon they are going to need security droids like those in the movie Elysium. They are already working on that.
authorities remain unclear about the motive
the authorities are fucking idiots
Since the US is headed for 4 years of a made-for-tv style society, I guess this slots right in.
…but not the feel-good, happy ending kind, rather the soul-crushing dystopian oppressed kind.
This has vibes of something larger than someone unhappy with just UHC
Oh never mind - theory is that it’s referencing this book: https://delaydenydefend.com/
Make money ruining the well being of families, eventually retribution will be had.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
Its simple all you clueless colombos. Just start investigating all denied claims where the person died at a result. Shouldn’t take more than a decade or so to go though that list.
