United Healthcare CEO shot to death in front of NYC investor meeting

[bennymac]

Dude, open a doctors bill, look at what they are charging, those fucks wouldn’t give you an aspirin without insurance.

Dude you work in health care insurance and you think the doctor gets the money charged for that overpriced aspirin??

[J. Barron DeJong]

This is just awesome.

The flip side of that story is that the insurance company is going to use the same billable hour rates for procedures that Medicare does, to prevent unscrupulous Anesthesiologists from padding their bottom line.

The guy wasn't a decent pro. I don't think he was a rookie pro either.

He used way too many shots, didn't wear gloves, it was too public, his aim was too clumsy and the e bike get away was too trace able.

My guess is he was a really pissed guy with inside knowledge that practiced with a suppressed pistol and sub ammo for a few months at most.

in a country that has been at war for ever there are probably lots of people who were taught the skills to do the job and apparently you can just pickup an E-bike on any street corner

just don't ask them to do Biathalon

This thread has me reminiscing of [emoji637][emoji639]yr old me punching CD cases in my bedroom until my knuckles bled, blasting Rage Against the Machine.

If you’re getting a boner over this murder you got worms fer brains.

RE: Anesthesia...

Why does a mallet cost so much?

Now wondering if those words were written on the manually ejected bullets or on the fired casings.

If so, No gun jamming, shooter wanted the words readable and stacked them in the clip like that.

He was using sub sonic ammo that wasn't ejecting normally, so he was racking after every shot. It sounds like the words were written on the cases for whatever reason.

More may have been written and they didn't release, or obscured by the firing

The real tell for me is the leg shot. It didn't look like bad aim, it looked intentional. He wanted him to experience a few moments of terror before the lights went out. From that range a real pro would have made two taps to the back of the head and been done.

Easy to cynically dehumanize people in these situations, but I agree, he has kids and certainly didn't deserve to die this way.

That said, insurance companies are literally in the business of dehumanizing entire populations.

I'm certainly not trying to defend UHC or any professional decisions Thompson may have made. Reveling in the grief of children is just a bridge too far for me.

[summit]

I'm sure Joachim von Ribbentrop's kids were sad when he was hanged. I guess he got a fair trial. Maybe Willy Messerschmidt is a better comparo, but the problem is what UHC is doing is de facto legal. So, we are gonna see shit like this happen, probably much more often.

Yeah, gangsters have kids too. So did Stalin and Mao.

lol, well played

[neckdeep]

Just sayin, if karma is real, then both the shooter and the victim are going to be reincarnated as intestinal parasites in the same pig's colon. One used a pistol and the other did his killing with an algorithm.

E-bike biathlon would be fun as fuck.

Torrent of Hate for Health Insurance Industry Follows C.E.O.’s Killing

lol, shocking

[riser4]

You can say that again.

[The Nuclear Option]

He did!

You can say that again.

Guy is no pro hitman. His face is now outthere from the hostel where he stayed

your heart would not get high enough on an e-bike for Biathalon, the idea is to ski like crazy and then control/ bring down your heart rate down enough before entering the stadium to get off 5 shots all while wearing lycra, and I think if you missed you need to ski some penalty laps

Junior told me maybe next yer he would quit cuz he didnt like lying in a snow bank to shoot guns and in summer practise the bugs would be crawling thru the gun site so they would fan each other to keep the mosquitos off enough to shoot, I said if you ain't really into it QUIT NOW and lets go to powderking !

At 14 up against junior racer kids who had been doing it all for years he learned to skate ski picked up a gun on boxing day, learned to shoot did 4 biathalon meets meets got 2 bronze/ a gold/ a silver and quit all in 6 months

edit: for america instead of lying in the snow buddy would ski up to the door of a pickup, chug a PBR and knock down the 5 targets ... it would be BIG !

The "oh, the killer must have been a pro" people are ridiculous. Uh, hello? Being an amateur gunman (and presumably in many cases gaining actual skills) is quite a popular hobby in the US.

[AK47bp]

Probably played too much Call of Duty and listened to Marilyn Manson.
