    Also the same poster who celebrates the death of thousands of women and children in Gaza. Literally posting videos of ordnance drops and cheerleading.

    When I post something it should always be implied I'm posting my opinion. I don't know why me mearly expressing my opinion makes people like you have to say that it's my opinion?

    I notice this about conservative leaning people my entire life. They always end arguments with something about it being "their right" to express their opinion or saying that my view is only an opinion? I'm like "yes, that is a given? Why are you telling me obvious things?".

    Quite frankly the killer's party affiliation is irrelevant. A person feeling anger over private health insurance companies because they believed a loved one of theirs died because of the decisions of executives at private health insurance companies transcends party lines.


    But this being a political debate and discussion sub forum I'll bring up this phenomenon of anger at American institutions and enterprise and how it ties to how the most recent election played out and especially how one party tells the public that distrusts the current institutions to trust them and the other party acknowledges the distrust and tells them this distrust is a result of migrants, lgbtq activism, wokeism, Muslims, urban minorities, university academics etc.

    He was walking out from the Hilton though - which is even more weird.

    High probability the CEO was a Republican.
    • 50 year old white guy from Iowa (originally)
    • Earns a high salary
    • Insurance executives are on the other side of the table (and aisle) as plantiff's attorneys (who are almost exclusively Democrat leaning)
    • Insurance executives are not naive -- because people try to take advantage of them daily. They are more logic and stats-driven, which makes them far more likely to think like Republicans.
    • Looks like a self-respecting, clean cut, hard working family man -- Republican traits

    So many crazy things. "Celebrating" lol - yeah there is a party going on in all the liberal cities!

    And calling women and children Hamas operative is the best part.

    People of this level of wealth and privilege usually are bipartisan... As in both parties do their bidding and appreciate it.

    The election has nothing to do with this guy.
    And, if you think that this board does not care what political affiliation the killer is, I will make a bet with you of lets say 50 bucks. I will even let you hold the money. But I guarantee you once he is caught and his affiliation is outed, there will be pages of I told you those Crazy, fill in blank with MAGATS or LibTards. Even you can't be so dense as to not know that will follow.

    That's not my experience. Yes, they may be publicly-bipartisan because they lead large groups of people who have many political viewpoints.... or they just want to avoid the attention/drama of coming out for one side. But they have strong personal political opinions.

    Sometimes you don't have to be a part of the planning
    You simply have to not respond and let things happen

    a few nudges, slips, etc is enough to point the guy in the right direction
    while maintaining plausible deniability

    That's like your opinion....:rolleyes:


    For me, this dude's party affiliation is irrelevant. Being angry at a corporate executive because you believe their decision making power killed your family member transcends party lines.

    And of course the resentment Americans feel over the health insurance industry to the point of a majority of Americans openly condoning a cold blooded murder is very relevant to the most recent election.

    This incident and the reaction by the public shows the level of hatred Americans have with their institutions and one party tells us to respect them and the one party acknowledges the hatred and finds the most powerless people in society to blame for the distrust to give voters an enemy to rally around.

    Bipartisanship at that level of power and wealth is not based in ideology but based on pragmatism to catch as wide of a net as possible to make sure whoever is in political office regardless of party is still on their "side".

    The big question I have is this dude seemed to know when exactly the CEO was headed out.
    This could not be patterned behavior, and from all accounts the killer didn't wait there all night.
    I think he had to have been in coordination with another individual.

    The people "celebrating" his death - I've heard Trump voters cheering it as well. This isn't a Republican/Democrat thing - it's a class thing. Trump is reshaping the dynamic of what it means to be a Republican even - pay attention.

    That would actually be a disappointment for me.
    I want to find out his own company had him offed.
    United Healthcare would be bankrupt in less than a week.
    I love a good trainwreck.

    Although all life lost is tragic. I do feel for his family, unless the wife had it done, I gotta stop finishing this story in my head.

    So he was walking across from his hotel where the killer was waiting for him.

    Sounds like this was a personal vendetta and not a hit job. What hit man goes to starbucks and leaves the water bottle with his DNA laying around? Or flirts with the girl at the Hostel giving himself away? Or leaves messages on the shells of the bullets he uses?

    You read that book, it makes you angry. Maybe you lose someone close who was denied coverage and suffered. So you start tracking the CEO, buy some stock to get access to the shareholder meeting and details, and thus plot the murder.

    Pearl clutching for an industry that denies health care coverage, lets people die, and leaves them in financial ruin. Oh no the left is being mean to the poor little CEOs. Whatabout all the other poor little c-suiters who feel threatened right now. Lets feel empathy for them and not the millions who have been screwed over by health insurance companies.

    Of course Elon is missing the point. All those countries have socialized medicine, pay less, and are happier with their health care system.
