Law enforcement issues warning in the wake of UnitedHealthcare CEO killing
The bulletin warned that Thompson's killing may be used as "messaging and propaganda" to share the techniques and tactics for targeting other health care companies.

I am looking at another headline right now: "White House condemns using violence to tackle 'corporate greed'"
When corporate greed is out of fucking control, and nobody is lifting a finger to do anything about it via legal channels, what the fuck else do you think is going to happen?
I'm also amused by how reporting on this has been "We're trying to work out what his motive was," when it's so clear that everybody knows what it was. They are fucking us, every day, and this guy got pushed to his breaking point. The fact that there's been such vocal support for Claims Adjuster - not just indifference - suggests that a whole lot of people are real close to their breaking points.
This is how revolutions begin.
Yep, and spreading pictures of the guy all over the internet in celebration of his deed has been a wonderful second step. That was truly clever and smart and didn't help at all his arrest.
Go USA revolution, go!
Just put down that self indulgence, before you hurt yourself.
err didn't the police put his picture out? you think a reddit post cracked this? last i heard it was a boomer
Yes, good. I love the smell of gaslighing in the morning.
I'm just sorry for the guy, while I do not condone what he did since I'm in a country where usa has license to kill without too many obstacles or consequences (I know, this ain't narrowing it down much). The mugshots are the pictures of a man who knows he's finished, done for. Nobody will really help him, and the best part of his life will be in a cell. And those idolizing him are the one who helped get him caught.
Before we knew anything about him, it was just as plausible that he killed the CEO for authorizing payments for abortion. It wasn’t clear it had anything to do with wealth in the beginning
The bullet casings make it pretty damn clear. If you didn't know what it was about then that's because you weren't paying attention.
Circumstantial evidence made it damn clear!
Jesus it’s like nobody has ever read a crime thriller in their life. This is like chapter 1 misdirection
.world mods really are the worst aren't they?
Insults are fun and all, but nobody seems able to show me coherent evidence as to why there was definitive proof on day 1
People made an assumption that turned out to be correct, why do you want so badly to make a case for something we know isn't true now? By your same logic, for all we knew on day one, he shot him because he didn't like the color of his pants. Prove to me that it couldn't be feasible on day one.
I’m sorry, that’s not the problem. The original complaint was that the media would NOT reach a conclusion. I am defending the refusal to jump to conclusions.
People can speculate, but saying “why didn’t the news diagnose the problem from the beginning?” is an asinine question.
Only if you ignore what was carved into the bullets...
...meanwhile, back here on Earth:
That’s cute and all. What evidence did you have on day 1?
... it was just as plausible ...
But was it really?
No, not really.
it was plausible... i am not sure why jeffw trying to make this equally weighted
IDK man his FUCKING MANIFESTO was pretty clear that he was super pissed off at Healthcare CEOs for fucking the people day in, day out.
I don't agree with the guy, but his first sentence is literally "before we knew anything about him". Pretty sure that includes his manifesto...
The manifesto that we got the day of the shooting? Care to share that one with me? I’ve only seen the current one
I too enjoy writing fiction. That said, I usually don't post it to Lemmy, pretending it's real.
