UnitedHealth CEO shot

Sun Wukong said

He was the head of a company that has, through down channel actions, absolutely killed people while lining their pockets. He was the head of a company that has denial rates that are 2x the industry average and their profits have skyrocketed.


I'm not going to go off on a whole soicopolitical rant about the current state of the world, but at a certain point rage towards the wealth hoarders and power brokers will spill over into violence. It always does. They harm too many people to maintain their status. Its inevitable.

As has already been said in the thread, I don't condone murder, but I understand the rage that led the guy to this point.

Their are some on the far-right like the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers that make the same kind of insane rhetorical claims and threats to people, individuals, politicians they don't like and at a certain point, their deluded rage spills into violence. It always seems to. Whether it's George Floyd or January 6, the reasons don't have to matter, Sun. As long as people have a sense of grievance, right or wrong, they want to harm people too not to change the status quo, but to eliminate it.

It doesn't matter if their guy lost an election, or its crooked, Wall St. investors, brokers or health-care professionals, some people who have a grievance and if its severe enough, they'll risk knocking some heads to do it.
