UnitedHealthcare CEO fatally shot

The manifesto.

One more in the W column for community notes.

As circumstantial evidence goes, it’s pretty damning.

Yeah the CEO actually had 2 houses, was separated from his wife apparently. I found his 2nd house just last night... they are both within a mile of me, although his houses are each like $1.3 million.
Just drove by them both. They each have a red storage bin turned upside down near the sidewalk with a note taped on. I didn't stop to read them but imagine it's the "please respect our privacy in this time..." standard stuff. The 1st house actually had 3 black SUVs out front, only one of which was marked as city police, but they were all next to each other (side by side by side... blocking almost the whole street) with windows down talking, as cops often do when they pull up to another officer's vehicle to chat. So I yelled "WHO WANTS MCDONALDS!?" to them, but they didn't think that was funny. (Kidding about the last part)

Anyone think it’s strange that this anti-corporate Kaczynski fan was eating at a McDonald’s?
DON’T let them eat cake.

Not really

That’s true. It’s the same crowd that posts about oppression from phones made by child slaves.

That argument doesn't really play out. Organized rebellions, radicals, terrorists and crackpots have a lot in common with everyone else in that they aren't universally consistent with living out their values.

I get his position. It is informed by a situation much worse than most people ever deal with, but we’ve dealt with similar runarounds - a different and contradictory story every time you talk to them. It’s incredibly frustrating even when it’s relatively minor health issues. Couple extreme suffering with it and one can understand his anger. Still, not how he expressed it. This kid had a top education and could have chosen to fight within the law.

What surprises me is that he chose midtown manhattan to do the deed.
How many different cameras caught site of him? He could have done this in suburban Minneapolis, confronting the guy when was out for a run or something.
-
Agreed, and keeping the IDs and gun, it's as if he wanted to be caught, but also wanted to be snarky by leaving his backpack in Central Park with the monopoly money. Part of me thinks he snapped a bit after his back surgery and/or meds, or mushrooms. Or maybe watching too much Mr. Robot or other TV shows that glorify fighting capitalism.
