this is how i know ya'll are so unserious with this revolution ****

It seems that America has successfully beaten the ability to revolt out of its citizens.

Reminds me of all the think-pieces we had to endure from so-called Leftists, shaming anyone for not praying for Trump after his "assassination attempt".

 

Americans have a hard time identifying a villain if he's white, rich and in a suit. It's pathetic.

[Marianah Adkins]

I'm actually surprised that no one has thought of this considering the fraudulent dystopia that is the American healthcare industry lol. 

 

Anyway condolences to his wife and family. 
As for him… well I hope UnitedHealth insurees get their fair trade!

Ya ******* in this thread are weird as hell.

 

I don't like any rich person and as someone who at one time worked for uhc hate that company with a passion. 
 

but the fact ya celebrating a man who got killed is weird af 

It's serving two brain cells to not realize that something can be antisocial behavior and that said antisocial behavior is a product of mass suffering and inequality that contextualizes it. 

 

Death shouldn't inspire celebration. We must question what societal evil was afoot in the person killed to inspire so many people to have such an antisocial reaction. 

 

What's weird is letting people die cause they're poor.

sad for his family, but I hope this causes all money-hoarding CEO's to be scared...

[Domination]

Interesting stuff. The insurance industry is borderline organized crime, so I can't say I'm surprised.

 

That being said, the internet peasantry on this site is getting wild. The fact that y'all type some of these words out concerns me for what feelings are festering inside you. It's not good for your health!

We are not applauding his death. We are applauding the shareholder value and increased brand awareness this generates.

I used to think like Briahna too until I realized the Dems don't want to win with that strategy because they're owned by the same oligarchs as the Republicans 

 

It's all the same bullsh*t, but with pride and BLM stickers slapped on it.

Here's the video.

 

Not autoplaying so not hiding.

Some of you guys are demented and completely wild. I would never celebrate the murder of another human being even if despicable. Are you pro death penalty too?

 

Also, to anyone thinking this is some disgruntled employee or someone denied coverage — the guy was clearly an assassin, I mean look at the silencer. This is someone hired. Meaning someone likely expensive.

So why aren't you out there killing people? Based on that logic you can kill hundreds of people right now. 
 

pure insanity. 

This man wouldn't have spit on you if you were on fire, and  in fact would have bought more gasoline to add to it if it would increase his company's stock. Moral grandstanding over the murder of a man who actively sought (and successfully!) killed thousands and thousands of people to make himself richer actually does the opposite of what you think its doing.

plenty of Americans DIE because our healthcare "system" leaves them with a life destroying bill or refuses to provide care due to arbitrary BS

 

but those deaths aren't as sensationalist as a rich man's murder in midtown, so they get no press and no transparency and no justice - instead they are part of a systemic culture meant to keep most Americans behind and impoverished

 

do not be surprised when civilians are indifferent or even celebratory when parasites like this CEO are taken out

it's coming.

This is so cringey but the video clip reminded me of the scene in Joker when Arthur kills the Wall Street guys. Murders are tragic but it's hard to feel sorry for these wealthy elite men.

[Vermillion]

So now this is plausibly just an investor that lost money all along and hired a hit.

 

 

[Vermillion]

Although the story of someone being denied coverage is much sexier for David v. Goliath framing I now think this was just an investor

thats not surprising. someone being denied health coverage, and being upset of it. wouldn't have the money to pay for the assassin, let alone pay for the gun & silencer to do it themselves
