What a joke of a reward. UHC should offer the multi-million dollar bonus the dude would have received.

They will soon identify this guy if haven't already. In these digital times with cell phones and video cameras everywhere, extremely difficult to get clean away with something like this.

Bound to be some DNA evidence somewhere. Especially if reports are true that he left a water bottle at the scene and dropped a cell phone.

Two things I learned from the Murdaugh trial is that they can detect DNA on just about anything now and your cell phone tracks your every more.

Any of these and he's toast:

If he had his personal cell phone connected to towers or with wifi/bluetooth enabled.

If he got DNA on a burner phone, shell casings, or water bottle.

If he rented an ebike without using a prepaid card.

If that's really his face in those photos.

If he had any prior communication (threats or otherwise) with the CEO.

If he had taken any legal action against UHC.

If they find the gun or suppressor.

Trust that the state will get their man. It may not be the perpetrator, but they'll get their man. It reminds me of Fahrenheit 451.

From the social media vibes, there will be more of these. It's like blood in the water with sharks. I'm pretty shocked as to the reactions. It's more of a "good job" reaction than any shock at all

Good into, thanks
Still haven't made the jump into the DD world. Have one threaded 9mm that's ready, just haven't taken the plunge yet.
It's really more of a novelty than anything on a pistol. There's just not many practical applications for them outside of shooting at your private range without annoying your neighbors or assassination. They're long and unwieldy, don't fit in a holster and are usually too long to fit in a hand safe in your bedroom. They also typically have to be carefully threaded onto your pistol unlike a rifle with a quick detach fitting. They can also reduce the reliability of a gun you use to protect your life and the back pressure will cause a lot of soot to build up internally.

They are a game changer on rifles though. Once you start shooting rifles suppressed, you will not want to shoot them any other way. The high velocity rifles will still be very loud and require hearing protection, but suppressors take a lot of the edge off. Shooting subs is a lot of fun. Even then the action of the gun can be pretty loud and I prefer wearing Ear Pro.

22 with standard velocity ammo is the way to go if you want movie quiet and is just a blast to shoot. Suppressors on 22 pistols make a lot more sense than the bigger calibers.

I hate that this guy used one, because it is bad for the 2A community and the efforts to overturn the NFA classification of suppressors. They are a muffler just like we are legally required to have on a car. It gives the left ammunition to label them as dangerous and unusual in the court of public opinion. I hope it turns out to be Chineseium and not a registered NFA item.
Only reason I kind of want one on a handgun is so in the event I must use it in our home to defend my family, it doesn't permanently damage anyone's hearing.

It's 100% a different jacket.

The brand/whatever tag on the left breast pocket is vertical in the pictures with no mask on and horizontal in the pictures with mask on.

Top it off that it probably isn't the same color.


Different jacket and back pack. These are not the same people.

The answer is simple. Eliminate health insurance. You pay cash when you are treated and let the free market dictate pricing.

It will be cheaper for everyone and save us trillions in tax revenue.



No. Just nationalize it like every other first world country. No insurance, no private equity, no profit.

Quo Vadis? said:

Nanomachines son said:





It's bipartisan too. People really really hate health insurance companies.
I understand it. It's the same thought I had when I saw members of congress cowering under the tables in the Senate building during the Jan 6 hubbub. "These people are finally realizing that the decisions they make on a daily basis have real life consequences".

For many modern society has been structured around disassociating consequences from actions.

Congress votes to send a bunch of American kids to war, while ensuring their's will never have to go.

A big company decides to close down a manufacturing plant to make an extra 15% by offshoring to a 3rd world country, without worrying about where the employees will go.

An insurance company denies coverage due to some loophole on a policy that's been paid into for 10 years, to make sure they hit their EPS target, and a mother dies.

There is a huge unholy alliance between big finance/insurance of obscenely rich people who produce nothing and get paid from manipulation. Their actions cause countless deaths and injuries (as has been detailed on this thread) and they think they're insulated from the consequences because "i have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders".

The social contract is fraying.





Yep, I don't think anyone is ready for the consequences of the social contract between elites and average citizens breaking. Previously elites held loyalty to the regular people and were Patriotic/loyalists. Now these people hold loyalty only to themselves and exist to fleece the general public for additional power, control, and money. The average person knows this too so the only thing holding it together is that the average person continues to increase their own wealth and improve their own lives. The instant the average person encounters hardship and life gets worse for them that social contract will begin to fray. Covid absolutely blew the doors off of this contract and many have never recovered from it so the anger is building.

At some point people will begin targeting elites who control those systems that wronged them and the average person will likely cheer it on.

The difference now in comparison to say the French Revolution or Russian Revolution is that there is no counter elite to paint the targets. It's ground up grassroots anger because the elites can't control the flow of information anymore. The future could easily devolve into one of complete chaos if the elites don't stop pressing the average people.

Just wait until the elites start pardoning friends and family for serious crimes that the rest of us go to jail for.

Based on the initial photos shown......the one showing the victim being shot in the back, and the assassin escaping on a bike.......

I don't see how it is determined the perp is a male.

One of the newer photos show what looks like a girl......trans maybe?

They don't even look like the same person.

Interesting for sure.

Tell me you've never spoke to ANYONE from a country with nationalized health care without telling me.

My employer has offices in both Houston, Ontario, & Alberta. I cross the border to work on projects regularly. The Canadians come to the US regularly. EVERY one of them would love to have the system we have.

One short Google search, 'healthcare canada wait times"
I spent 30 seconds looking
https://www.cihi.ca/en/wait-times-for-priority-procedures-in-canada-2024
Quote:

  • Between April and September 2023, fewer patients received a hip or knee replacement within the recommended 6 months compared with the same period in 2019
  • Cataract surgery wait times have returned to pre-pandemic levels, with 70% of patients treated within the recommended 112 days in 2023
  • Median wait times were 2 to 4 days longer for breast, bladder, colorectal and lung cancer surgeries in 2023 than in 2019, and 11 days longer for prostate cancer surgery
  • Between April and September 2023, median wait times were 7 days longer for MRI scans and 4 days longer for CT scans compared with the same period in 2019.

Do you want to wait 6 months for a hip replacement?
Do you want to wait 4 months for cataract surgery?

THIS IS AFTER YOU GET TO SEE A DR THAT DETERMINES YOU NEED THE PROCEDURE AND QUALIFY FOR IT!

Now, come back and defend your post. Or is this your typical click-by troll job? (First and only post in 4 days)

The last two might somehow be same person with and without the backpack but I'd love to see the full footage/pics... I'm starting to think they might be reaching for "white with jacket" and reposting anything similar

Who pays for that? Me, like now?

So I still pay a crap ton in taxes and now have slower or worse care while the proletariat gets identical care for nothing? F that! Healthcare is not a right.

The one in the middle looks like a middle eastern chick to me. Chick face and shoulders. Could be trans I guess. But definitely different person than the other two.

lots of disgusting people out there sadly
Might be disgusting, but having personally been screwed over by UHC, I really can't muster up much empathy.

They are hands down the most scummy of the insurance companies. I've had them multiple times over the last 2.5 decades and they are always the ones who make it the most difficult to actually get care using your insurance.

I've had to do the multiple layers of escalations to try and get procedures approved with no dice even though their policy/plan docs said coverage was included and multiple docs on my care team said it was medically necessary.

I doubt it does, but I hope this causes the other insurance CEOs to become a bit more introspective about their drive to maximize profits over patient care
"I doubt it does, but I hope this causes the other insurance CEOs to become a bit more introspective about their drive to maximize profits over patient care"

It won't. Their entire existence is to make money for the shareholders. I'll never forget hearing Steve Hemsley get on town hall meetings at UHG and preach earnings. They didn't care about anyone at all.

Stephen J. Hemsley (born 1952) is chair of the board and former chief executive officer of UnitedHealth Group Inc.

These were supposedly taken at a hostel where he was staying. I haven't heard it reported when they were taken. It may not have been that morning.
