In 1987 at the age of 29, I came down with salivary gland cancer. Although it was tough and expensive, it was doable and I was in remission. Fast forward to 1993 and it came back with a vengeance and metastasized.

I don't feel sorry for this guy or his kids...
Perry Mason over here.
Blackmail, extortion, insider trading scheme, etc.
Opportunity, of course, but there is also the conveyance of a message (political, ideological etc).
This was not a random incident, like a robbery.
Everything was deliberate.
The gunman is dying of a treatable disease
He gets caught
He gets decent treatment while incarcerated awaiting trial.
And wait until you see the messages on that cell phone.
He walks
Like, the list of people who might have wanted him dead is basically "anyone who interacted with him or his company in the last 5 years".
If it’s every one for themselves, what’s next?
There’s a lot of crazier “don’t give a fuck, fuck everybody” type people than me out there that these folks in power are gonna be dealing with.
No tears here. They built The Running Game, time to play bitch
I would not agree that this rules out a personal vendetta.
May we never forget the lost lives to unethical insurance practices.
Those are the REAL victims here.
Yes, I think you do know why.

Times up ..time of death… the insurance ran out

HEALTHCARE CRISIS
we have a
HEALTHCARE INSURANCE CRISIS
Most couldn’t afford to take him to court but those who did he would have lawyer “Delay, Deny and Defend”.
They tried to claim that bone marrow transplants were experimental. It was standard practice for her cancer, but someone was doing clinical trials on bone marrow transplants for some other disease and they claimed that therefore "it is experimental."
She got our Senator and CBS news involved and they finally paid for it.
Yeah gimme what you got UHC CEO. You robbed people of their health & existence.
Bring on the French Revolution.
And Madame Defarge.
It's not our job to judge whether a person deserves to live or die.
That's what algorithms designed to maximize profits for shareholders are for.”
This is how the insurance companies operate.
Delay. Delay the claim as long as possible. "You didn't turn it in before the deadline."
Deny. Deny the claim. "Sorry, but we think this claim is fraudulent. You're a liar!"
Depose. The ins. co. will defend themselves. The patient will forcibly remove them!"YOU SHOT ME"
I’m less concerned about people killing billionaire villains than I am about billionaire villains fucking everyone else over.
That would be inspiring.
It took a senator and CBS news coverage to get them to cover it.
I hate the violence but at what point does denying folks lifesaving healthcare count as violence.
I have broken teeth and im in pain...cant afford help.
Pretty on-brand for a country that once fought a civil war over the legality of chattel slavery.
It is also illegal to be poor in public as they will arrest you for being homeless in some instances
It's like they don't want to people who pay thousands of dollars a month to figure out the insurers would rather see a patient die than spend hundreds of thousands on a procedure
That time is over, bitch.
Regular folks aren’t deploying trained killers.
Motherfuckers better recognize the hellhole they are creating. We got more guns than people and no mental health care, buckle up hoes.
So, we really don’t shoot everyone on sight. Most Americans leave CEOs alone.
I mean, you can. If you find your head to be a burdensome attachment.
STOP DENYNG HEALTHCARE.

This guy is gone.
He took a city bike! No he didn't.
It's an amateur hour! His gun jammed! Actually it looks well planned.
He's a professional! Watch him keep the casings in this grainy video! He didn't keep the casings.
I wonder what was written on the other casings that they withheld to detect false confessions?
But there are dozens of places that rent bikes or it could be his own bike
I'm more interested in that part of the book than I was 24 hours ago.
Angry duck #2: what can you do about it motherfucker?
(couldn't find the meme sorry)
As a matter of policy executed by Thompson, people died.
Consequences.
In 2021, 7% of total abortions-622,108 was after 14 weeks. That’s 43,548.
GUN VIOLENCE deaths in 2021 was 48,830. Source: CDC.
GUNS KILL MORE LIFE THAN ABORTIONS DO!
In 2022 and 2023, abortions plummeted due to Dobbs decision. Even bigger disparity!
This sounds like a case where someone felt the system had failed them.
😂😂😂😂
BUT, would you want to be an exec at a health insurance company walking around this morning?
No arrest yet, and no name released.
Hope he gets the best attorneys in the country if this is related to United and their horrific abuse.
Yeah, he touched a lot of lives, alright, and then sent them to the morgue.
Absolutely no one is going to miss this profiteering scumbag, except maybe his bankers.
Yeah, that works.
I thought that , yesterday before I heard about the writing on the cases
About time
Take away those, and you are left with the tools of violence and retribution.
If only one set of tools works, the outcome is inevitable.
Our medical system is not great currently
I do look at the US medical system in horror and disgust
What could I possibly do to change this situation?
Lots of people asking this

He deserves the best attorneys money can buy if this is related to United's abusive tactics.
The trial may end up being a shitshow for United.
