UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting latest: Suspect's backpack had Monopoly money: Sources
The manhunt for the suspect who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has now entered its fourth day as authorities learn more about his movements before the attack.
"He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care. Our hearts are with his family and his colleagues during this difficult time."
Really?
Legit I thought this was about the assassin when I first started reading this.
I've instituted a new and innovative AI algorithm that determines whether my heart goes out to someone who died, as a first pass measure. It really increases the efficiency in determining who deserves my sympathy.
Oh? It has just output: "Deny, Defend, Depose". How curious.
This statement is in direct conflict with his actions.
Seems reasonable, it must be tough for the family and friends of the guy on the run.
They were referring to improving access to care for share holders .... not the medical care of clients
They're in the same business. They have to believe that what they are doing is advancing access to care by making sure the companies are solvent. It doesn't matter what the truth is. To quote George Constanza- "It's not a lie if you believe it"
Meanwhile, citing the recent killing of Thompson, Centene, a major health insurer, said it would be moving its planned in-person investor day in New York City next week to virtual, according to a statement from the company on Friday. "All of us at Centene are deeply saddened by Brian Thompson's death and want to express our support for all of those affected. Health insurance is a big industry and a small community; many members of the CenTeam crossed paths with Brian during their careers," said Centene Chief Executive Officer, Sarah M. London. "He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care. Our hearts are with his family and his colleagues during this difficult time."
Holy yumping yimminy, their gaslighting!
He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care.
The more they say this shit, the more working folk wake up what this is really about.
a big industry and a small community
Translation: many billions in the pockets of few people.
Deny. Defend. Depose.
Whatever happened to "everyone needs to return to the office"?
Not those everyones.
Working from home? So lazy!
Health insurance is a big industry
Yes, that's the issue. That's the part you need to understand.
The killer entered New York City by bus on Nov. 24, when a surveillance camera at Port Authority Bus Terminal caught his arrival at 9 p.m., law enforcement sources told ABC News.
If they knew that for sure, they would know who it was. This sounds more like "Of course our surveillance state is working; Don't you plebes get any ideas."
From that I'd say they have pretty good matches on him. The bad news for him is that these days with surveillance, you need to be really sneaky before you commit a crime as well as after. It's hard to cover all your tracks on the way in and on the way out.
It looks like they're getting better pictures of his face, that's real bad for him. Personally, I'm not confident he's getting away with this. It would probably be wise to leave the country asap.
If he is caught and brought before a jury of his peers, then anything might happen. Not sure they will find a jury where all of the jurors will vote to convict him even if the evidence is crystal clear. Cops knowing this as well, I wonder if the guy will not have an "accident" before they catch him.
wow, he's trolling the cops. He gets more epic all the time. Is this like, Jesus returned?
That would be so incredibly based. Jesus returns, and rather than preaching to anyone he shoots a CEO of an evil company and rides off into the sunset.
From what I know of Jesus, that honestly might be what he'd do.
Holy shit...it was him!!!
I'm certain that if the victim had been a poor American or dark skinned, we would be seeing 30 NYPD fanning out in the park to look for potential evidence.
This country is run by fucking disgusting people.
The American people are finally united against a common threat. Don’t derail this with their “divide and rule” race war.
I think your fundamental mistake is thinking it's "run" at the level that impacts this. Do you think Biden is ordering the NYPD? Congress? The justice department? Strong doubt that they need to tell the NYPD to behave this way, this is simply how the NYPD behaves. They are an organization of bad people who do bad things daily, this just being a normal outcome of their badness.
It's a systemic issue. This is capitalism, which exists to protect privilege of rich people. The police are just their enforcers. They serve and protect the rich, and of course their system. It is modern day feudalism. Police are the modern day bailiffs that will hit you over the head with a stick if you try to question the system. It's not that the NYPD is not a bunch of fucked up bastards, but they are part of something much bigger, and much worse. That's why ACAP, as it is usually meant, is insufficient. It really should be:
All Capitalists (and their minions) Are Bastards.
Pretty sure that the President can't give orders to state or city police.
Let me look this up. The New York City Police Commissioner is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the mayor. The mayor probably knows where his campaign financing comes from. The NY attorney general is also elected.
It's about to be worse too...
No war, but a class war. They're gunning for this guy regardless of him being white.
Hes 3 steps ahead here. There's no chance in hell it's his water bottle.
Besides being a folk hero this man also exposed just how shiti police is actually their jobs if the person is skilled and well prepared.
This guy entered NYC anon, did charity work for the US working class, existed anon.
Police along with alphabet boys are sitting with dicks in their hands drip feeding media this idiotic stories that get more silly as time progresses.
Didn't they have a TV show about how you need to catch the perp within 48 hours or otherwise it is very unlikely yo be easily solved?
Leave the NYPD alone, do you know how hard it is to murder minorities over fare skipping? And now you expect them to do actual detective work? They don't even get to use all that fancy military equipment!
Prior to the surveillance state, cops solved a minuscule amount of actual crimes. Now they solve a less minuscule amount of crimes.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if he's dressed as a cop pretending to look for himself
Step 1: Grab a random bottle your saw an old lady throw out, whom could in no way be mistaken as you.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Deny, Defend, Depose?
I wonder if that backpack was intentionally placed by someone who sympathizes with the assassin. Its been four days. Someone could have easily placed that backpack just to mess with the investigation.
Random school kid who "accidentally" dropped his backpack while running away from a bully, nothing to see here officer, move along.
They know he ditched the backpack in central park. He had it on when he went in and off when he left.
That doesn’t mean this backpack was the backpack he carried.
I hope it’s not someone trolling the cops. That just gets them wrapped up in it and possibly cops looking at them as more evidence.
Yeah, there's no way that was planned.
I bet he originally planned to leave the monopoly money with the body but when in the situation of getting the fuck out of there realized it was a very bad idea
You're probably right, but maybe it's a hint at his next moves? The guy already has a flair for the dramatic.
Monopoly the game is about how shitty the landlord system is and how it ruthlessly crushes people.
Flair for the dramatic? He shot him then got on a bike and rode away. Lol
Monopoly money. Bravo.
This story keeps getting more & more felicitous by the story!
This just keeps getting better.
He kept the get out of jail card himself, though.
Personally the murder seems personal. This dude must've planned it for quite some time.
If he threw monopoly money with the casings, this would have been legenday
