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.
Boy I hope no future healthcare CEO assassins copy this calling card, and I especially hope their bullet shells aren’t covered with the names of people killed by the CEO’s company denying them healthcare.
Not only would that encourage more copy cats, but it would really capture people’s attention and get them thinking about the issue. If the public starts considering crazy propaganda like how seeking maximum profit at the expense of widespread human suffering might not be life’s most noble pursuit, just imagine what could happen!
You think this is going to get people to think about the issue of our garbage health are system?

Killing CEOs won’t accomplish anything. They do what they do because the govenrment loosened regulations. You want better healthcare, you’ll get more accomplished voting for a Democrat than killing CEOs. Americans don’t really give a shit about anything other than the price of gas and eggs so here we are.
Ah yes, voting for a Democrat in 4 more years, surely that will work this time. Oh what’s that elections are canceled? Trust me bro just one more election cycle, just vote really hard next time. PFFFTLOLOLOLOL
No, no, elections aren’t cancelled. Republican states’ governments just only count votes for candidates they like.
Another 96% win, because the people just love the dear leader that much.
