Summary
Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot in a premeditated attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown before speaking at an investor conference.
The gunman, still at large, fired multiple times, leaving shell casings marked with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.”
Authorities suggest Thompson was targeted but remain unclear on the motive. His wife confirmed prior threats against him.
Analysts speculate a possible vendetta tied to his company. The case raises questions about executive security, as Thompson lacked personal protection despite known risks.
I don’t really care. They suck ass. That doesn’t mean people here should be doing it.
No but imo there is value in pointing out the hypocrisy.
I don’t believe in being as civil as possible when your opponent is trying to be as uncivil as possible.
Okay, but this really has nothing to do with what I’m talking about, which is that it is silly to assume this is definitely retribution over UHC.
It’s silly to assume but reasonable to mention as a likely possibility. So I guess I never disagreed :)
