It was related to his ghoulishness

The wife of slain health insurance CEO Brian Thompson said Wednesday that her husband had been getting threats before he was gunned down in Midtown Manhattan.

“There had been some threats,” Paulette Thompson told NBC News in her first comments since her husband was murdered early Wednesday.

“Basically, I don’t know, a lack of coverage?” she said, referring to her 50-year-old husband’s role as CEO of UnitedHealthcare’s insurance division.

Beyond parody

Couldn’t even admit that she could see how someone would want to target the source of their daily misery amerikkka

I have to assume that most of these people just live with non-stop death threats, but that they generally have thought themselves untouchable until now. Imagine being constantly inundated with people calling you and saying shit like "you killed my mom by denying her cancer treatment" and just like...going on with your life. For years. Good fucking riddance and rest in piss.

The ruling class rarely lugs around the security they need 24/7, it’s just too much of a hassle unless you’re Drake or the POTUS.

Judges, CEOs, senators. They all eat out at restaurants. Shop at public luxury stores. Some of them even still get their own groceries. Drive to appointments. Drive to boozed up fundraisers on public roads.

As much as they try to insulate themselves, the bourgeois, by definition, must rub shoulders with the working class. Some of them are smart and took their money and lock themselves in their compounds.

Most are too proud for that. And they have blood running in their veins just like the rest of us.

Even better, I hope it turns out to be a radicalized comrade who trained and planned for this.

I hope that nobody ever finds out who did this.
