UHC CEO Gunned Down in Midtown Manhattan

[Anonymous]

His NY attorney is married to Diddy’s criminal defense attorney! They’re going to be busy this year.

Separately, he is too intelligent, educated and handsome to spend his entire life in prison while POSs like OJ & Rittenhouse walked and POSs like Trump get to be president (twice!). I hope his hotshot NYC lawyer can get him a lenient sentence and he is treated for whatever physical and/or mental ailments led him to this drastic and atrocious act.

agree with your second part, don’t agree or speculate on first part. Need the facts there first, but they’re collecting and saving them for the trial.

The back pain or possible surgery or treatment has not been confirmed by a doctor or medical record. Hearts will go out to him if and when they are.

But why set your sights on the CEO? Was he going to murder his surgeon next? What about the UHC employee who actually denied the claim? The pharmacist who refused to dispense the pain pills? The nurse who didn’t check on her patient every 30 minutes?

I’m “glad” (?) he chose the CEO out of those examples but it seems like people really need someone to blame when things go wrong medically, and misplaced anger could lead to murdering people who are doing their best but are human.

We’ll have to find out during or after the trial. What his lawyer has him say about that.

Also what his lawyer has him say about surgery or not and his Japan and Thailand travels.

Worst case is he really went spiraling and on a bender then and concocted his big plan. Did he spiral due to outside bad influences or drugs? Or a psychotic meltdown? Is he stuck n that spiral still?

I don’t see any real remorse or WTF did I do. And now his lawyer won’t allow that out anyhow.

Prison won’t be nice to a guy like that. He’ll have to either go on another bender there to harden up or just capitulate into more trauma.

I think this is supposed to be a dark edgy humor thing. Gen Z is quite depressed and desensitized to violence and are not afraid of telling a messed up joke.

I didn’t click the link (do I want to see whatever it is? Probably not). Just observing that Gen X grew up practicing for the moment when someone would enter their school and gun them and their friends and teachers down. Meanwhile, they watched this very thing happen again and again to kids just like them. Month after month, year after year, for their whole lives, we as a society said “gun violence is ordinary, good luck out there.”

Desensitized? I mean…yeah. Did we think they somehow wouldn’t be?

THIS. THIS. THIS.

After mass shootings of children and other citizens going about their daily lives we've been told by the gun rights advocates that it's the "price of freedom." We have an absolutely fetishistic gun culture in this country and if you shoot the right person you can get off scot free. I am sorry Brian Thompson was killed. I am sorry for his family. I believe a crime was committed and it was wrong. But the shocked articles and hand-wringing and lecturing are over the top. We've spent over 25 years telling school kids that gun violence is just something that happens in America/it's not a big deal, what did we expect?

But the supposed cure for gun violence is banning guns, and here we have someone who murdered with a 3d printed gun.

Would you prefer a school shooter came into your kids class with a 3D printed gun that jammed when he tried to shoot it, or an AR 15? Because that’s the reality here. We want to ban assault rifles that murder entire classrooms in less than 5 seconds. But that’s apparently a bridge too far in this country.

I agree. Prison is not the right place for smart beautiful people. They deserve a free pass, if just to improve our society.

The only thing that was printed was a lower. The "trigger group", barrel, and slide were all purchased.

The halo effect this guy is getting is ridiculous. If some homeless guy carried this out the reaction would be different

Duh

It because he’s not a career criminal, gang member, loser drug addict, generation crime and poverty family.

He was a normal, successful, nerdy, athletic, journaling loved person, possibly with bad back pain and he got in his head a lot.

Then closed everyone out, went away, emerged in a Manhattan murder case.

That’s truly tragic. He will be destroyed in prison.

This guy's next stop would have been homelessness. How do you think people become homeless?

Very rare that they’re the above. You know that.


Most homelessness is generational poverty. Drugs and drug induced disorders.

Next up is lack of family or support networks thus acute homelessness because chronic.

Also up is untreated mental disorders,
estranged people. Maybe some former successful people here.

Luigi would have been put in a center had Missing Persons been expanded beyond the San Fran locality and he was found earlier.

I feel sorry for Luigi and his family, yes.

Luigi can rot but i feel sorry for his family who were probably unable to help him.

+1

Agree, Pretty boy can rot.

Schizophrenia is awful and dangerous. If that is what he’s going through, I would like to see him get the help he needs and get out of prison in a couple of decades, after serving some time.

Won’t get out of prison. Will have a “nicer” prison if truly hearing voices and nuts.

Not a lawyer so forgive me if this is a dumb question. Can he “plea” out early for a lower sentence so they can avoid the media attention from the trial? Apparently the minimum sentence for his conviction is 15 years to life with parole.

I don’t know.

His new lawyer may do that if she thinks he’s a basket case.

However if the new lawyer woman wants to take in a bigger political stance and thinks his persona might be successful at that monkey show, her ego may do that.

Shall see.

Not sure the family can weigh in if Luigi and his lawyer want to go bananas with the media and jury.

Has he been allowed to speak to anyone else besides his lawyer? Like his parents or what’s goes on in these situations?!
Or is he himself saying no thanks to calls with family?

Not to mention all the people dead because of his policies.

You mean dead because companies buy crap plans for their employees and then blame the insurer? You mean dead because hospitals and doctors upcode and charge ridiculous prices for mere moments of clinicians time? You mean dead because doctors and surgeons continual prescribe meds and procedures that people don’t need and in some cases could kill them? There’s so many fingers in the pie my man. If hospitals and doctors acted appropriately there would be no need for the insurance companies.

Give it up, health insurance shill. Nobody buys the nonsense you are selling.

Wow the depth of your rebuttal is breathtaking. Guess that’s what you do when you have no rebuttal.

DP - what is it exactly that you think is worth rebutting? That there are other harmful elements in health care? You’re right about that. Do you think this fact is somehow a defense of UHC’s practices?

You were saying UHC killed people by denying claims and I pointed out that that is not entirely true and there are a number of bad actors involved but you want to be simple and just blame UHC when that is absolutely not the case.

This

Luigi could be anyone’s friend or colleague. Took the wrong rec drugs, and triggered a psychotic or schizophrenic or manic episode pattern.

Terrible for all involved and someone got murdered.

If some 26 yo homeless guy who came from a big happy family, went to Penn engineering, and worked in Big Tech, and shot a man dead in Times Square sidewalk at 7am, it would get similar attention.

This had severe mental disorder written all over it.

Or maybe he just thinks he’s that special and great.
