Yes, this. And as others have said, vigilantism isn't a welcome direction for our society to take. Having said that...Quote:

I wonder how many people have died prematurely due to UHC being scumbags?
I had to threaten to sue them a few years ago over a knee replacement.
They actually clawed back $30k that they had already paid out, months prior. With no communication.
Turns out that they had multiple phone conversations where they pre-approved everything, but it took a call to an aquaintance at the Colorado Insurance Fraud Department to get an almost immediate reversal.
But it still took a year, and many, many, many stressful hours of bullshit.
E Bikers are next
Are the Murdochs, Musk, Harlan Crow, Adelsons, Sacklers, etc next?
There’s no way that e-bike has that kind of range.Quote:

Calm. Collected. Deliberate. Silencer.
Then again it looks like he had bare hands. If you dress in black with a black mask why not wear black nitrile gloves in case you have to ditch the weapon.
The backpack clearly has change of clothes to blend in.
Thinking pissed off ex military. A pro would wear gloves.
Sad. Fuck healthcare. But this was a human being b
Nothing to worry about. Based on recent elections, the general opinion on extreme wealth disparity remains the same or slightly more favorable. The beatings will continue until morale improves. Maybe we can have guillotines once the Overton Window shifts such that Bernie is an ultra rightwinger. Meantime I'm enjoying a few laughs.Quote:

Disturbing and I think we’re going to see a lot more people revolting like this in the coming years. Everyone’s fucking had it.
Used to work right there in midtown. Crazy to think about that happening in broad daylight there. Not far north from the Rock Center Xmas tree lighting going on right now.
The guy shot the CEO, biked a few blocks north to Central Park to evade surveillance, ditched the bike and changed clothes in a hiding spot and waltzed out. Not sure how the fuck you find someone after that.

I’d watch it.
I guess someone got justice against UHC. Pretty wild that they got away.
I doubt anything changes except that Fortune 500 companies will more widely andopt executive protection policies.
The next CEO of UHC will have armed private security everywhere they go.
Gotham. Like a Batman movie.
We need a hot-as shit, smart, sassy redhead nurse, who falls in love with a hapless patient, to be the love interest. She will get him back on his feet, and give him a new life, and sense of purpose.Quote:

These execs are all being investigated for selling off millions of dollars in stocks, then he gets executed. Criminal greed at the expense of humanity.
Where the usual suspects brush aside health insurance industry profiteering? Unpopular opinion all the sudden?Quote:

I watched a movie last winter on the trainer that was exactly this: retired military guy's wife gets cancer, insurance denied the claim, he goes to kill the CEO in revenge, accompanied by his martial-arts-trained daughter. Can't remember what it was called though. I'd say life imitates art, but I'm not sure this movie qualified as artQuote:
