The way this article seems to go out of its way to humanize this guy before remembering to mention the ways this guy has hurt so many people by chasing profit at the expensive of people’s lives is kind of wild.
“Killing one person is wrong, but causing millions to suffer and many to die due to lack of healthcare is obviously OK if you’re doing it for massive profit!“
“I Worked It Out. You Have Killed Two Point Three Three Eight People,” said the golem calmly.
“I have never laid a finger on anyone in my life, Mr Pump. I may be–– all the things you know I am, but I am not a killer! I have never so much as drawn a sword!”
"No, You Have Not. But You Have Stolen, Embezzled, Defrauded And Swindled Without Discrimination, Mr Lipvig. You Have Ruined Businesses And Destroyed Jobs. When Banks Fail, It Is Seldom Bankers Who Starve. Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With. In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many. You Do Not Know Them. You Did Not See Them Bleed. But You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr Lipvig. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game.
- Terry Pratchett, Going Postal
No. If it’s done “legally” then it’s OK. That’s why cops can murder people and it’s OK. As long as you can buy a politician or two to legalize the suffering you cause, you’re doing just fine.
You’re forgetting that if it benefits the elite by causing the poor and or minorities to suffer, it is automatically legal!

That’s the corporate press for you.
You need to remember that ALL media outlets are tools of the rich to keep the poor in check. They will ALWAYS spin these things to make the rich person look a good as possible.
So she knew he was receiving threats because of lack of coverage and still had the audacity to refer to the shooting as “senseless.”
I guess there are consequences for your actions. Who would have thought.
That’s just one rare case. There’s plenty of others that go unpunished.
hours before he was set to address an investor meeting about UnitedHealthcare’s 2025 financial outlook, which projected revenues exceeding £375 billion ($450 billion).
Man, good thing Biden said we didn’t need to fix our healthcare system. Otherwise that would be worrying…
Revenue is not profits. The profits are $28 billion, that’s only 6% which is actually low.
The words “deny,” “defend” and “depose” were discovered by detectives on the shell casings found at the scene where Brian Thompson, the CEO of major insurance group UnitedHealthcare, was gunned down, police sources told ABC News late Wednesday evening.
Maybe it is it not a good idea to deny coverage…
Now that’s a manifesto.
According to police sources, the three words “deny,” “depose,” and “defend” were carved into the live rounds and shell casings
…
The three words bear a striking resemblance to Jay Feinman’s [20]10 book Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claim and What You Can Do About It.They are also words you find all over letters from insurance companies when they are denying you coverage. Which lead to the title of the book.
There are only 12 people who will need to hear this, but on the off chance that you are one of them: Jury nullification is a thing.
Well, what the fuck else could anyone expect? History is full of lessons for those willing to think about what happens when the powerful drain all hope from the peasants.
We at the third box now.
Fourth. Soap, ballot, jury, ammo.
You know? I’m gonna leave my mistake to throw off the trackers.
Bitches better damn well learn.
I mean, not surprising. He was a massive scumbag. His policies led to the deaths of thousands of people. I’m sure he got lots of threats.

Paulette Thompson probably sucks, did you see who she was married to.
You finally broke the world billionaires… Time to go get the cans of beans rotated out in your bunkers. Tell your Paulettes to fuel up the tactical SUV and stick the tear gas perimeter dispensers. You’re about to get really fucking paranoid… Is this next horrible heartless decision your last… Yes, it probably is - does that change any in the decision you’ll make?
Well, maybe let Paulette know that the clothes she is wearing, the car she is driving, the house she is living in, and anything else she owns was all bought with the deaths and suffering of thousands of people.
Boom goes the dynamite
With hundreds of thousands he made suffer and killed, the police will have more work to find a culprit than in “Who shot Mr. Burns?”.
