Folks, I understand that it’s hard to feel sympathy for a health insurance CEO. Completely fucking understandable to have difficulty feeling grief here.
But the bloodlust in the comments here isn’t excusable. This was a human being who was violently killed. It wasn’t self defense - hell, we don’t even know who did it or why.
He has teenage sons who are today experiencing the absolute worst nightmare of their lives. He has a family that will be shattered by this. This isn’t some game or a movie where the bad guys just lost. This is real life.
His death isn’t a win for your healthcare goals. Your celebration of his death is cowardly and shameful, and hurts any cause of compassion you claim to support. I hope the moderators of this community see the same problem I do here, because y’all are being violent.
You’ll have to forgive me for not feeling sympathy when he oversaw UHC denying claims ten times more often than other insurers. How many families do you think experienced their own worst nightmares as a result of his actions?

Sounds like what’s probably happening within dozens of families every day for people who have died because they were denied life saving coverage by UHC.
It’s an interesting moral case. The current economic system rewards sociopathic wealth hoarding. How can we fight that? Is he an enemy combatant in the class war? I literally don’t know.
Being glad a bad person is gone isn’t being violent. This man chose to take part in what is widely known to be a predatory and sometimes lethal system that can literally place people into poverty. And he chose to take part in an integral way near the top of that structure. He helped perpetuate it from the top.
These are not good people.
The gunman was violent. Anyone that’s glad or indifferent is not.
The other post had it just as bad if not worse before it was removed entirely.
I tried to bring up the point that a system where we kill CEOs because we don’t like their business practices isn’t going to fix anything and the downvotes immediately poured in.
Either this is just the way that a lot of people on Lemmy think, or there’s some concerted effort/psyop trying to stir discontent among the users here.
For a bit there I was doubting if I even wanted to be associated with Lemmy anymore, but at least it looks like the mods have been cleaning up the worst comments.

Poor teen boys, what are they going to do without their evil oligarch father! :(
I wonder if he had life insurance, and whether it will pay out.

only reason he’s in the news is cause he’s rich
