There is zero controversy whatsoever in a company reminding its employees they are not spokespeople and should not speak to the media about company matters. There are obvious reasons for these policies and they’re frequently dictated by codes of conduct employees agree to yearly. This is nothing.

It's hard to remember another murder in recent times that was quite as popular. Maybe a time to reconsider our healthcare system?

Shinzo Abe.
And yes, and I hope you're succesful in changing the system.

The obvious story is how many people have been screwed over by the healthcare industry. The collective ambivalence is screaming, listen to us!!!

Is there like a "bat signal" we can use to contact this heroic masked crusader for other CEOs?

Just asking for a friend, and millions of other peeps who have been fucked over by CEOs

How evil does your company have to be for the majority of people to celebrate your assassination in broad daylight even though they had no idea who you were before it happened

In a country where the robber baron class is once again in ascendancy, it is not at all surprising that the death of a CEO would fail to elicit much sympathy, especially for one from a much vilified subgroup - the health industry.

Lot of anger out there. Murder is bad, but angry desperate people will react in a predictable manner.

I mean this with genuine respect and zero hint of sarcasm: she's really good at pointing at stuff.

Resentment for Thompson was widespread at UnitedHealthcare, an employee said, citing an internal company announcement about his death that only garnered 28 comments despite being seen by 16,000 employees.

I live in a town in Canada where rich Americans come pheasant hunting once a year, it's not expensive to participate in if you're local but dealing with those bourgeois scum? No thanks I'll stay home

The latest update on the situation from detectives: the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” were discovered on the shell casings used by the shooter.
