The People Cheering the UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting

UnitedHealth Group’s Facebook post sharing its statement on Thompson’s death received more than 46,000 reactions, with about 41,000 of respondents clicking the platform’s “haha” option displaying a laughing emoji.

Holy shit.

“I’m worried about the fact that violence in the country is just escalating so much,” she says. “That this is a symptom of everyone thinking violence will solve their problems, and that I find tremendously frightening.”

I don't know if violence can solve our problems or not, but I can guarantee that not changing anything, and maintaining the status quo, absolutely will NOT solve our problems, in healthcare or otherwise.

If a mass shooter kills a dozen people then gets shot and killed, people applaud the one who shot them.

If a CEO directly contributes to the suffering and death of an untold number of people, then gets shot and killed, why should anyone respond differently?

The fact that the deaths he caused were within the bounds of our legal system should be seen as a condemnation of our policies, not as justification for what he did. When other avenues have been exhausted, what did they think people were going to do - just sit around forever and say 'Well, that sucks'?

I’m not going to say how I feel about this, but I will say that United Health Care told me 2 separate times that they would reimburse me $2,000 for the vaccines before I traveled.

Then I got the vaccines and when I submitted the paperwork, they refused to reimburse me and the manger was like, “Oh, we made a mistake, we will not reimburse you for that.”

I absolutely don't shed a tear for this man, nor his family, honestly. They lived their best life with the money he made off the denials of those who needed help the most. They can all straight up fuck themselves. Same with the media outlets trying to chastise the masses for their corporate overloads finally feeling a bit of the same discomfort and worry that they've saddled the rest of us with.

I don't advocate for violence, but I absolutely don't feel a thing for this guy or any other billionaire with similar targets bearing down on them. I see nothing, I know nothing, and thanks to their ilk, I feel nothing.

Sounds like the US population is down to bring out the guillotine. Let's do this.

I'm a ghoul because I take delight in seeing this happen and hope these people feel genuinely afraid to leave their mansions.

He was a ghoul because his decisions lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths and a leading cause of homelessness just to see a line go up.

We are not the same.

Universal healthcare NOW

And yet this country chose to elect a president who has in no uncertain terms said he will dissolve Obamacare which will only give more money and power to the CEOs of shitty healthcare companies.

People who claim to hate violence need to learn about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_violence immediately

If they catch him jury selection will be a tough gig for the State.

I can usually empathize, but I'm just not feeling it.

Thatcher and Nixon were people who made choices, had families, and implemented incredibly shitty policies because they believed in them (as much as a politician does). I can understand that: they did what they believed was right.

This CEO was a very well paid cog in a machine designed to avoid giving subscribers treatment they need and deserve. His company built systems and processes to maximize suffering and difficulty to avoid granting coverage to people who had paid for it.

He did nothing on principle. He helped build and perpetuate a horrible system so he could get richer from the suffering of others. No belief. No higher goals. Just money. He set out to become a rich cog, and he succeeded.

I made a large collection of screenshots from Facebook of people who had their claims denied by United Healthcare today if you want to really see violence.

We all were born into the social contract. The nation states of the world assumed a monopoly on violence to provide justice instead of us taking revenge. But when there is no justice, there are only two options: to resign yourself to injustice or to take revenge.

It is good to see the viewpoint of people working in health care. That they were afraid of being attacked over denied claims they have no control over, and that they see someone shot who was actually one of the guilty.

Remember, they're allowed to have conferences where they LEGALLY casually discuss new and exciting technicalities and legal loopholes they've been working on to murder the customers that have responsibly paid them ahead of time to cover treatment for inevitable illness and disease in good faith, because once they're sick, they're a liability to their quarterly profit expectations and they need mooaaar.

Oh and since Reagan and especially since citizens United, they're legally allowed to silence your voice through political bribery of both parties, good distraction though.

We can blow kisses and say thank you for killing us, or we'll be silenced. Them's the rules. Suuuper free country we got here. I feel personally very free.

I'm really not in favor of murder but its impossible to honestly argue against the idea that the world is a better place without that arsehole in it. Lets not discount the pain and tyrany that American health care companies inflict on their memebers, who count themselves lucky to have any health care at all. (Except for Kaiser, I love Kaiser).

A cold blooded murder

Did people see how Obhma acted when Osama was killed ?

a bad guy who "deserved it " ?

Karma is a bitch

As they should.

Violence against the powerful begets fascism. Did violence work for Native Americans? Did it work for Palestinians? Did it work for the original antifa (you know, the ones who died in concentration camps)? Violence only works if you have more guns than the other side. If you don't, stop and figurer something else

Sick

But they'll have this guy soon. Then the story will be about him.

They're a bunch of fucking monkeys, jumping around like savages, scratching their armpits, and throwing shit at the walls. I don't want to live in a world where people so entirely lack a moral compass that they can cheer on murder as an outlet for their anger.
