Summary
The NYPD warns US healthcare executives about an online hitlist following the assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.
The threat has led to increased security measures and concerns about copycat killings inspired by social media posts celebrating the murder.
The NYPD bulletin highlights the need for heightened protection due to the potential inspiration from the suspect’s notebook and online reactions justifying the shooting.
Oh no! We need to take care of those criminals! They’ve gotten away with their crimes for way too long!
the system itself should be in the hit list, but next 4 years most likely get worse
I’m hoping it will eat itself.
“Hitlist”… so, the quarterly earnings report?
They’re scared
Good.
If only there were something they could do about being some of the most hated people in American society right now.
“Make less money” will never be considered an option by their caste, so in their fucked-up worldview, there isn’t.
They’re really in a bind!
Maybe now is a good time to follow up about the $2000 United health care owes me in reimbursements.
What hitlist? That list of denial rates for the various insurance companies?
The list of people who have beef with the company that says they either go into debt or die… or both?
Potato, potato
I thought I posted my grocery list, not my other list
Does anyone have this list publicly available?
you can DM me for the list and STL files …
Maybe they should warn the healthcare executives not to be such terrible people.
Squirm you rich fucks.
I hope every healthcare executive gets panic attacks and then gets addicted to benzos after losing their mind living paranoid walking down the street.
I hope people take to generally withholding human decency from these executives.
This can be an addition to whatever other more invasive measures people might have planned.
Examples:
Instead of holding the door for one of them when you walk through, push the door back into their face and hold it there for a few seconds, Make eye contact like you’re looking at an unruly teenager literally covered in shit. It’s not illegal it’s just rude and upsetting.
Don’t put any condiments or napkins or anything like that into their to-go containers. If possible omit any packaging at all. Make them request each specific plastic fork and napkin, do your best to soil all of it.
If you recognize one of them in public, point and yell, “This person works for a death panel and helps ensure Americans die prematurely.”
Don’t refer to the most HMO CEOs or healthcare CEOs, just call them death panelists, or death panel CEO.
Of course I would never discourage violence against purveyors of human misery, but if you’re too explicitly willing to fight back in the ongoing class war you will be de-platformed and treated as if you are an actual terrorist.
If, on the other hand, you wanted to say that Brian Thompson should have gone on living and been allowed to kill as many people as the law would let him then you’re perfectly okay and standing on solid ground.
if you’re too explicitly willing to fight back in the ongoing class war you will be de-platformed and treated as if you are an actual terrorist.
Yes. First, Luigi was attempting to affect political change through fear and violence. That’s the definition of terrorist.
Second, what do you think allowing that does to the platform?
If using violence to create fear to affect political change makes someone a terrorist, and we wish to apply that definition here, then there must first be examples made of the authority that wishes to impose such judgment. Authority without competence and oversight is just tyranny. The British called the minutemen barbarians, The United States calls its secret police undercover officers or plain clothes detectives. Word games like this start to fall apart when they face any serious scrutiny.
Either that definition of terrorism is overly broad and would include everything from the police in the United States to our “shock and awe” campaigns abroad. Either that or the difference is not that he “used violence to create fear to affect political change” but that his violence did not come as the official order of a government that is allowed to use violence to create fear to affect political change.
If they try this guy like a terrorist then the country should rightfully riot. The appropriate response would be rebellion on a grand scale.
“that’s why I say hey man nice shot!”
The Wikipedia article?
Probably the meme that shows their name and picture.
It’s nice to think they’re freaking out, but I feel like whatever extra precautions they take for themselves and their families will be passed onto us and result in even more expensive healthcare.
Still worth it tho.
Yeah this is bullshit as an article, just scooping up easy clicks for nothing.
There’s no online hitlist - hey, that’s against the newly revised ToS!
Oooo - maybe they mean it’s on tHe DaRk WeB, you know, where all the h4X0rz post credit card numbers and pictures of dropped ice cream cones.
Does it really count as a “hit list” if it’s just a list of publicly known healthcare executives? This isn’t so much a case of a list of targets as it is just a list of people in an industry that literally everyone hates, and they’re suddenly aware that they are mortal.
All I want for Christmas is for that list to be checked off.
