United Healthcare CEO shot and killed

[nrsair]

Shooter’s backpack had Monopoly money in it. Incredible.

I think his death is a net positive for the world. Unfortunately, our current system of justice never does anything to executives who cause unnecessary death and pain the way United Healthcare does.

[MOD EDIT - PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SITE TO PROMOTE VIOLENCE]

I know it's a slipperly slope but I don't think there is any true injustice in this particular death at all. [MOD EDIT VIGILANTISM]

And as for the dumbass argument that anyone here would do what he did for $10 million, that's flat out bullshit. Many of us would take the job, but not do it the way he did it. There is no amount of money in the world that could make me feel good about actively promoting policies that cause pain, suffering and death. None.

No said everyone would take it. The very large majority of Americans would not turn down tens of millions a year. You are living in a holier than thou fantasy land if you have convinced yourself of this.

Well, all Trumpers would take it at a minimum so you may be right. But the fact that a majority of Americans would do something doesn't make what he did any less despicable. See, for example, slavery and segregation. The bottom line is the guy deserved to die regardless of whether he did something a bunch of deplorables would also do.

Reddit has nicknamed the shooter "The Adjuster"

New photos dropped. How many coats did this guy bring to NYC?

Sources say he was spotted on the bus in Washington DC on his way to NYC. The bus he got on leaving NYC made "6 or 7 stops" outside of the city in multiple states.

Someone will recognize him just from his eyebrows.

Where's your sunglasses dude? Hospital mask (check); Hoodie or hooded jacket (check); Sunglasses (??)
Those eyes and those eyebrows will be dead easy to find and recognize. Why be seen in the daylight like that?
Nobody is going to question the look... Not with the sun shining, the chilly air, and loads of others walking around with standard COVID gear on.

I guess the adjuster has issued or otherwise finalized a "claim" or perhaps "settled" a claim.

So you are celebrating the murder of a husband and father because you want to piss off some stranger from the internet that you'll never meet? Maybe talk that one through with a therapist.

My insurance company won't cover that...

There are two embedded TikToks in the linked story - check those out as well.

I see you are new here.

JCD is Jump Circle Defense. It came about after a win at HIS, where the crazies circled the wagons around the jump circle for protection, I believe.

And now you have to explain what HIS is….

The person that posted that originally wrote 99.9%.

Which is believe is high.

I'll agree a majority think they would love a job that pays that much, but that's because most don't understand the job.

I wouldn't want that job, but for $24M I'd take it and hope i could last 6 months, then I'd have plenty for retirement.

I don't agree that with Los that i wouldn't want a job where my cost cutting decisions directly impacted families.

My insurance company won't cover that...

Especially if you have United Healthcare.

Has Sacha Baron Cohen been able to provide an alibi?

Apparently they have his name. They aren’t releasing it yet however.

They don't have it or they would've already been broadcasting it 24/7

Looking at the reddit, twitter comments ("eat the rich", etc.), it certainly would be a way to further divide American society.

Some of the responses I've seen/heard are concerning. Some are kind of humorous. Something along the lines of "Sending thoughts and deductibles. Sorry, prayers are out-of-network."

Yeah that’s kinda my thought too but they basically said they weren’t releasing it to not compromise the hunt.

The way out is to stop for profit insurance

Zero else

I posted a thread on this. Care to contribute and bring these thoughts over there so as to not derail this one? I disagree with you about for profit insurance, btw.

to control premium prices.

This is a bad thing? I would think we would all want premiums as low as possible. That doesn't mean "deny every second claim so that people are paying not very much money for insurance that is worth even less" but it's odd to see this described as a negative.

The high cost of health care in the USA compared to Canada and Western European countries is the result of relying on for profit insurers to cover Americans under the age of 65yo
