UnitedHealthcare CEO fatally shot

Just as a statement of practical effect, I think his act will move the conversation and concentrate the public's attention, in ways he wanted.

Maybe in the short term. Does anybody remember what Timothy McVeigh's agenda was at this point, or discuss it if they do?

The American health care system is an elephant in the room for everybody, and whatever McVeigh's concerns were (I recall something about the Waco siege), pale in comparison for their relatability.

I'm not convinced that murdering people helps in a rational discussion of any cause. I'd honestly have been a lot more sympathetic to Irish nationalists in the north if the Provisional IRA hadn't killed quite so many people. For decades, the debate was all about the violence, and not the very real problems the Catholic minority were facing.
I was only joking

Specifically targeted violence is very different from random terrorist violence.
Education is extremely important.

This reminds me of this scene, starting around the 2:00 mark. Hey, even sounds like you, DOC! (Scottish, close enough?)

The IRA killed plenty of specific targets - Airey Neave, Louis Mountbatten, Ross McWhirter, numerous politicians nobody over here has heard of.
You think blowing up the Conservative party conference hotel is untargeted?

Some successfully targeted attacks do not cancel out a bunch of random civilian deaths in other attacks, obviously.
Anyway, you can go ahead and believe the public will be sad about this murder next week, and that health insurance will be an afterthought. It'll just take a week to prove you wrong.

It'll be Bragg prosecuting him. Watch him offer a plea deal with a single digit jail sentence.
@jon-nyc said in UnitedHealthcare CEO fatally shot:
It'll be Bragg prosecuting him.
There are rumors of Federal Charges.
His term ends on Dec 31, 2025. Magnione won't see a courtroom before then.
Do you think he'll be re-elected?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I suspect they'd need terrorism charges to do that. Which I think are appropriate.

Yeah, that's what I've heard.

Howso? It was a targeted murder of a businessman, of course. How's that terrorism?

I haven't taken a dive into what is purported "manifesto", but is it politically motivated?
The guy who was lurking at the golf course waiting for President-Elect Trump - would that qualify as terrorism? I would think so. Was he charged with that? I honestly don't know.
