    I don't even give a shit if it was a targeted hit for reasons totally unrelated to his ghoulishness. Uncritical support for murdering insurance CEOs.

          Please excuse NYPOST. @Frank@hexbear.net mentioned in a post https://hexbear.net/post/4036316?scrollToComments=false this might be a slide lock pistol, I thought the gun jammed and they were clearing it.

            Having watched the video on a bigger screen I retract my "cool john wick gun" position, it looks like it's jamming and he's clearing jams between shots.

      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.

        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.

      The takeaway here is that it’s possible, and it was deserved. Everything else is just window dressing.
