This guy bragged about staling money from the healthcare system, by the way.

Appeal to decency. Bold of the same side that has demanded we all be selfish pricks only out for number one. 

If the guy was making $150k a year and putting his all into making healthcare accessible to everyone, struggling to get all the coverage extended and trying to get everyone treated as best he could, I might be a little more sympathetic.

In reality, everyone like him is wealthy ($40M+ net worth) because they cover as little as possible to provide a semblance of “Insurance”, turning each rejected case or cut corner into dividends for themselves. We are human. They are not like us.

I don’t condone violence… but I understand it. And I think he’s just the tip of the iceberg of what is to come. People are fed up, angry, and sick of seeing people like him thriving while they scrape by on the scraps.

He was a human being with a family, who didn’t give a shit about the suffering of other people except that it was something he could profit off like the parasite he was. Don’t expect too many shits back. Seriously, “oh but I had to do it for the shareholders” is just the modern version of “I was only following orders”. Fuck him and his kind. He was one of the ghouls pressing for any trade deal with the UK to involve access to the National Health Service. I have zero sympathy for anyone who wants to impose that kind of dystopian kleptocracy on other countries after doing so much damage to his own.

I’m sorry, but fuck this nonsense of not being able to celebrate people’s deaths. Some people are just legitimately awful human beings who are a net negative to the world. She they might have families and friends and they might be very nice to them, but they’re grief doesn’t erase all the damage that person did in their lives.

In US, guns are a right, not healthcare. If they want me to feel bad for their loss, I take PayPal/Venmo/Zelle etc. besides cash.

Hey, he earned a lot of money for his family playing and winning the life and death game. This time, he lost. Pots and chairs.

You have to speak their lingo.

THIS GUY WAS IN CHARGE OF DEATH PANELS!!!

You know how whenever universal healthcare gets talked about in the US and there is always someone who starts fear mongering about the so-called “death panels” that supposedly exist where doctors get to decide who lives and who dies based on how expensive their treatment is because universal healthcare bad?

Insurance companies in the US are literally already doing that. They are *already* death panels. They already get to decide whether their clients live or die by denying them life-saving procedures.

Oh no they killed Brian….anyways you guys wanna go get something to eat…..

It’s not the murder that I’m happy about. Murder is wrong, full stop. Morally, legally, whatever. 

But him not existing? I am unbothered. I feel bad for any young children in his family but any independent adults in the family have to already know how much death and suffering this man’s company causes for profit on a daily basis. In my mind, his grip on a massive force that causes death and suffering is simply now ended. Will someone better take over? Probably not! And if not, I will not call for their murder but I won’t be bothered by their death.

It’s like these people have never heard of the Golden Rule or the reciprocal thereof. Guy literally treated everyone else as disposable sources of income beneath his notice, why would anyone pay him respect or offer him sympathy?

Dead ass zero sympathy. And watch the media be very leery ab this. They don’t want us to realize that if ab 600 ppl got done like this, things would change

I don’t wish suffering on anyone… but my stepdad was “covered” by UnitedHealthcare for much of the time he had cancer (he passed away last year). After the hell they put my family through, denying things even after pre-approving them, or the letter they sent, denying coverage for chemo because though his oncologist said he would live for several more months “the outcome would remain the same”… I just can’t work up even an iota of sympathy for Mr. Thompson or his family. He made a living defrauding sick people, stealing from the most vulnerable people so he could line the pockets of investors who were already rich. You can’t be pure evil for 10 hours a day, then expect me to think “oh gosh I feel differently about him now” after a quirky anecdote about 15 minutes in which he wasn’t plainly evil. He, and people like him, are a cancer on society. I have no doubt that we’re going to find out in the coming days that his evil empire denied cancer coverage to the shooter, to the shooter’s wife, or to the shooters kids, we don’t know exactly which evil things UHC did to draw the shooter’s attention, but that’s only because UnitedHealthcare does so much evil stuff on any given day that it’s a mystery which evil decision amongst millions of other evil decisions they made that would have caused someone to feel like he stole a life from them, so they’ll steal one from him.

I don’t condone violence, but I’ve been through the hell Brian Thompson inflicted on so many families, so… I understand.

No fks given over this dude.
Killing with a gun = bad: killing by denying insurance claim ok???
