    The fact this guy is still free and has a chance to see these memes must warm his heart

      He assassinated an immoral asshole who has profited on the needless pain, suffering, and death of millions.

      The reaction can’t be too surprising.

        I’m curious about his reasoning. I hope he gets away, just curious if he was denied claims, or if a loved one was, or just sending a message. or if he’s just looking for the other half of his Boondocks Saints duo.

          That’s the beauty of it. Millions of people have worse lives because of this asshole, so by having an anonymous killer take him out, we all get to feel a little justice.

              The prior-authorization denial rate of United tripled under his leadership.

              I don’t like vigilante justice, but when “legitimate” paths to justice are denied, this is the inevitable result.

              A hungry crowd is an angry mob. Ignore the danger too long, and they’ll eventually feast on the flesh of those who oppress them.

    “All murder is wrong! You’re all sick!”

    Oh, cool, so we agree, let’s decommission and dismantle our for profit military industrial complex, demilitarize the police, ban the death penalty, and remove all guns from civilian society immediately!

      The logically and ethically correct response, as usual, is the one drawn from leftist theory.

      Killing in self defense has been a cornerstone of human legal systems since human society has existed.

      Violence comes in many forms. This time it was a bullet. It could be a denied healthcare claim. It could be excessive copays and deductibles. It could be wage theft. It could be abuse of workplace power dynamics.

      Employers shouldn’t have started the violence if they didn’t want people to start defending themselves.

        Exactly. An important point to make is this was, is, and will be a murderous rampage by him and whoever they appoint to sit in the chair. That’s the job. To fuck over the customers who trusted them with their very lives and prepared for disease by paying them ahead of time in the name of private profit.

        This literally happened at a meeting about how to deny their claims more, and this event didn’t change that. They want to kill their customers when they become inconvenient. All for profit insurers do.

        And they’re allowed, LEGALLY, to casually discuss at a conference how they’re going to KILL these customers and those customers on this buried technicality and that legal loophole and that’s fine, but in most circles the people who’ve experienced their sociopathic, ice cold, emotionless rampage for private greed, will be silenced for so much as expressing approval of what happened a few days ago.

        Profit belongs in making widgets, not in sectors people need to survive. I’ve been screaming that for years, and they called me madman.

        Im so defeated that I’m literally telling myself not to trust any hope.

    It’s been 3 days now and Robin Hood is still at large. It makes me wonder what medical insurance plan the NYPD offers. Wouldn’t it be a tragedy if the investigating officers were on UHC plans? Just tragic…

    Also, ACAB. Just in case someone takes this as supporting police.

        It was a good enough movie! I watched it on my projector and it was awesome-like. My favorite part was when the truck is falling into the river and the bad guy is still wondering what’s going to happen.
