United Healthcare CEO shot and killed

[duluoz]

Well he wasn’t committed enough to hop on a plane to someplace they couldn’t touch him. And as most people here had observed for several days, he definitely didn’t seem to be a pro once some significant mistakes were coming to light.

But it also doesn’t mean he wasn’t relatively well funded and this wasn’t relatively well planned. This guy was incredibly dedicated and did a ton of legwork to pull off the murder and the escape to the extent that he did.

I’ll be interested to hear more about the motive of course, but also the timeline and whether he had any accomplices. The phone call and the timing of when he and the CEO got to the exact location seem too precise to have not had help.

Funny that the anti-capitalist was supporting McDonald’s.

A fair number of mass casualty events have seen the perpetrator talking about plans prior to the event. Not always clearly but sometimes hints are a bit more obvious than not.

Your suggestion that the FBI (and the other letter agencies) should not be monitoring message boards is surprising. If someone on this board were to make a credible and detailed threat against either Biden, Trump or their VP's, there is a decent chance they would get a once over from the FBI/SS and maybe even a visit.

You do realize how many messages are posted on opinion boards in any period of time....zillions. If something really credible was posted here I'm sure someone(s) would alert FBI, etc. Now once AI is up and running nothing will be private and we'd best be careful of our jest. Then, our Dear Leader may have abolished the FBI by then... for personal reasons. ;-)

All he had to do was wax his eyebrows and move to Idaho.

I'm just glad it wasn't Luke Maye.

So it was a ghost gun he made or had made. No serial numbers.

Our jests and more. I got a text from my step-daughter this morning that was a picture of a CD case with the sister of a B-list celebrity on the cover (this CD was released ~20 years ago), I replied "That looks kinda like Janet (sister of the step-daughter who sent the text and not her real name, although of course I used my other step-daughter's real name when I replied) when she was in high school," about 3 minutes later my step-daughter who sent the original text texted "Apple AI just said 'CD cover resembles Janet (but of course used her real name) in high school.'" I don't even know what that means, but it seems kinda... something. I guess it's not that big of a deal, anybody with a Facebook page or Instagram or any other social media has plastered pictures of themselves online for years, AI has plenty of opportunity to associate a face with a name, but I still thought it was creepy that it harvested this "info" from our texts...

I have some mental health disabilities in a couple family members and based on my limited research the late 20's is often when it becomes first noticeable. Is this an accurate info. This kid was in that age group.

I posted earlier on the thread, but there is a very loud anti-capitalism contingent on reddit and presumably other social media sites that have violent undertones. "eat the rich" and "bring out the guillotines" will often have hundreds of upvotes. I've always assumed a portion of the comments are Russian bots trying to propagate social unrest, but this seems to show there are real people out there with the belief system. I wouldn't be surprised if you see more violence aimed at the wealthy.

This kid probably does not have any mental health issues. He might, but not everyone who kills out of ideology does. Che didn't, for instance.

Is it possible this guy and/or members of his family had United Health Care policies and were given the runaround and ultimately had their claims denied (unjustly ?)which led to financial ruin.

If so, then in the words of Chris Rock, I'm not saying he should have killed him...but I understand

I think a few young ladies and some gay men became a bit more sympathetic to this fella's justifications for his crime.

 

[Healing]

Sad truth of society is his appearance does indeed improve his chance of acquittal or hung jury, before even considering the tens, if not hundreds, of millions who share his disdain for what the victim represented.

Assuming that this is the right guy, I have no idea why he'd still have the gun and fake ID in his possession at this point.

That's incredible to me this far from the day of the crime.

His Twitter is still up if anyone wants to scroll through it. Looks like a book smart young guy getting out of school into the real world and trying to figure it all out. Lots of posts on AI. A mention or two of Asperger's. I saw a post about psychedelics in there. There were a couple of posts about women and how they casually dismiss men.

ETA: Annnnnd it's down. I feel like reading it before they nuked it is some kind of accomplishment but when I tried to determine what that accomplishment is, I realize it's not.
