It is clear that from the message left on the bullet casings that his killer had a peeve with United Health Care services. WE won't know the particulars until he is captured or if he does one of those manifesto screeds.
Unfortunately ;judging from some of the social media comments ;the verdict is that he had it coming and that other CEOs should watch their backs.
Following killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO, stories flood social media of denied insurance claims | CNN Business (https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/06/business/insurance-claim-denials-unitedhealthcare-ceo/index.html)
This is not a story of providers screwing their customers . It is the story of the lies and deceit when the emperor pushed for his bridge to socialist health care in the US.
He said if you like your health care plan and providers you can keep them. That turned out to be the lie of the year
PolitiFact | Lie of the Year: 'If you like your health care plan, you can keep it' (https://www.politifact.com/article/2013/dec/12/lie-year-if-you-like-your-health-care-plan-keep-it/)
He said people with preexisting conditions would be protected . Another lie . Oh by law they can't deny coverage. But thousands are denied anyway over disclosure technicalities.
insurance claims: Not disclosing pre-existing health conditions main reason for claim rejection - The Economic Times (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/banking/finance/insure/insurers-often-deny-health-insurance-claims-due-to-non-disclosure-of-pre-existing-conditions/articleshow/105409131.cms?from=mdr)
But the biggie lie was that with the plan ,health insurance would become more affordable.
Would a 129% increase in the cost of health care be considered more affordable ?

That people are frustrated by the system is understandable . They should redirect their anger to the people who are really responsible .

The assassin is Luigi Mangione .
Luigi Mangione charged with murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson (https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/10/luigi-mangione-murder-charge-unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson.html)
"The suspect, who graduated in 2020 with both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, at the time of his arrest was carrying a handwritten manifesto that referenced the health-care industry."
"Police said that a backpack with Mangione when he was confronted at the McDonald’s was found to contain a gun, silencer, and multiple rounds of 9mm ammunition."
He took the gun instead of the cannoli

Meanwhile libtard NY Magazine called the assassination inevitable .
The UnitedHealthcare Shooting Was Inevitable (https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/unitedhealthcare-shooting-inevitable.html)
Go to X or the new libtard alternative Blue Sky the comments are more graphic as the article mentions
As one popular post on X put it, “Today, we mourn the death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, gunned down…. wait, I’m sorry — today we mourn the deaths of the 68,000 Americans who needlessly die each year so that insurance company execs like Brian Thompson can become multimillionaires.” One woman who’d cared for her cancer-stricken mother told (https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/unitedhealthcare-ceo-shooting-celebrations.html) New York that she felt “a little surge of Schadenfreude” at the news of Thompson’s death. Though the shooter wrote (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/united-healthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-shooting-bullets-words-written-on-them/) the words “delay,” “deny,” and “depose” on his shell casings, we still don’t know his exact motivations. It’s obvious, however, that he meant to send a public message — and some (https://www.404media.co/brian-thompson-social-media-reactions-reddit-facebook-twitter/) appear open to it.
The mag appears to be endorsing this reaction.
And again ,John Fetterman is the voice of reason.

Would you agree that Fetterman is the surprise of the year? And not because he has become a rock-ribbed conservative, but that he has demonstrated a willingness to be a lone beacon of truth and reason in the strange world that the Democratic party has become.

When Thompson did occasionally draw attention, it was because of his role in shaping the way Americans get health care.
At an investor meeting last year, he outlined his company's shift to “value-based care,” paying doctors and other caregivers to keep patients healthy rather than focusing on treating them once sick.
UnitedHealthcare CEO kept a low public profile. Then he was shot to death in New York - The Globe and Mail (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/markets/indices/SRIN/pressreleases/29897924/unitedhealthcare-ceo-kept-a-low-public-profile-then-he-was-shot-to-death-in-new-york/)
This is the very model that RFK Jr wants for the US .... a system based on prevention

Seems we are getting quite a profile about Luigi Mangione (and insanely he is becoming a folk hero ) like it turns out that he was NOT insured by United Health and that his gun was a 3D printer gun (look for the gun control nut to call for those to be banned too. )
But the press' inquiring minds have not bothered to give us any where's near the inquiry into the would be assassins of Trump ; Thomas Crooks and Ryan Routh .

Alvin Bragg could be the most incompetent DA in the nation . The case against Mangione is simple . He went behind Thompson and pumped bullets into him ;killing him . Straight and simple premeditated murder . Easy right ?
Not to Bragg . He is padding terrorism charges too
By doing this he is playing into Mangione's game , Now his motivation comes into play
The Federal code is clear
terrorism is “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives"
https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R47885 (https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R47885#:~:text=The%20federal%20government%20define s%20domestic,and%20as%20a%20policy%20issue.)
Sadly the case has social media on fire with many comments in support of Mangione's aims.
Bragg making this a part of his case risks having enough sympathetic jurors to hang the jury or even a nullification acquittal. Bragg now must show a higher burden of proof because besides proving fact he now must prove motive.
The case for murder is open and shut . The case for terrorism is not .

Absolute disgrace !!! SNL's spoof on the news called Weekend Update mentioned Thompson's cold blooded killer Luigi Mangione and the live audience broke out in a wild cheer.

Only the left would stoop so low as the celebrate the shooting of someone in the back for political reasons. I did not see them cheer that way when Gabby Gifford was shot . Political violence was correctly condemned.
