"He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care. Our hearts are with his family and his colleagues during this difficult time."
Really?
Legit I thought this was about the assassin when I first started reading this.
Notice how it's a statement from another insurer
This statement is in direct conflict with his actions.
I've instituted a new and innovative AI algorithm that determines whether my heart goes out to someone who died, as a first pass measure. It really increases the efficiency in determining who deserves my sympathy.
Oh? It has just output: "Deny, Defend, Depose". How curious.
Seems reasonable, it must be tough for the family and friends of the guy on the run.
Probably just AI generated slop. Didn’t even bother with using the in house PR team on it.
“Generate a sympathetic statement for death of person. Keep it under 50 words.”
Getting an AI written eulogy because no human being would do it is hillariously Douglas Adamesque.
wow, he's trolling the cops. He gets more epic all the time. Is this like, Jesus returned?
That would be so incredibly based. Jesus returns, and rather than preaching to anyone he shoots a CEO of an evil company and rides off into the sunset.
Meanwhile, citing the recent killing of Thompson, Centene, a major health insurer, said it would be moving its planned in-person investor day in New York City next week to virtual, according to a statement from the company on Friday. "All of us at Centene are deeply saddened by Brian Thompson's death and want to express our support for all of those affected. Health insurance is a big industry and a small community; many members of the CenTeam crossed paths with Brian during their careers," said Centene Chief Executive Officer, Sarah M. London. "He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care. Our hearts are with his family and his colleagues during this difficult time."
Holy yumping yimminy, their gaslighting!
He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care.
The more they say this shit, the more working folk wake up what this is really about.
Anyone who believes health insurance is about healthcare is deeply blessed to have not had to use it before.
It’s an industry built on denying care.
When you right wing nut friends are gloating with you as left wing nut, you know that these "leaders" fucked up big time.
I never seen such alignment within my life time.
Christmas is finally gonna be a proper family affair too!
There's actually way more agreement than people think about what's broken in society and the causes of it, at least at a surface level. The problem is our differing views on how to fix it all.
a big industry and a small community
Translation: many billions in the pockets of few people.
Deny. Defend. Depose.
Whatever happened to "everyone needs to return to the office"?
Not those everyones.
Working from home? So lazy!
Holy shit...it was him!!!
The killer entered New York City by bus on Nov. 24, when a surveillance camera at Port Authority Bus Terminal caught his arrival at 9 p.m., law enforcement sources told ABC News.
If they knew that for sure, they would know who it was. This sounds more like "Of course our surveillance state is working; Don't you plebes get any ideas."
He was supposedly using a fake ID, so they trace the fake ID back to the bus tickets....
Doesn't mean they would know who he was.
His name is Rowan Atkinson
I knew it!
Last thing the CEO saw...
I'm certain that if the victim had been a poor American or dark skinned, we would be seeing 30 NYPD fanning out in the park to look for potential evidence.
This country is run by fucking disgusting people.
The American people are finally united against a common threat. Don’t derail this with their “divide and rule” race war.
I think your fundamental mistake is thinking it's "run" at the level that impacts this. Do you think Biden is ordering the NYPD? Congress? The justice department? Strong doubt that they need to tell the NYPD to behave this way, this is simply how the NYPD behaves. They are an organization of bad people who do bad things daily, this just being a normal outcome of their badness.
He kept the get out of jail card himself, though.
Monopoly money. Bravo.
I bet he originally planned to leave the monopoly money with the body but when in the situation of getting the fuck out of there realized it was a very bad idea
You're probably right, but maybe it's a hint at his next moves? The guy already has a flair for the dramatic.
Monopoly the game is about how shitty the landlord system is and how it ruthlessly crushes people.
Hes 3 steps ahead here. There's no chance in hell it's his water bottle.
Besides being a folk hero this man also exposed just how shiti police is actually their jobs if the person is skilled and well prepared.
This guy entered NYC anon, did charity work for the US working class, existed anon.
Police along with alphabet boys are sitting with dicks in their hands drip feeding media this idiotic stories that get more silly as time progresses.
Didn't they have a TV show about how you need to catch the perp within 48 hours or otherwise it is very unlikely yo be easily solved?
Leave the NYPD alone, do you know how hard it is to murder minorities over fare skipping? And now you expect them to do actual detective work? They don't even get to use all that fancy military equipment!
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if he's dressed as a cop pretending to look for himself
I wonder if that backpack was intentionally placed by someone who sympathizes with the assassin. Its been four days. Someone could have easily placed that backpack just to mess with the investigation.
Random school kid who "accidentally" dropped his backpack while running away from a bully, nothing to see here officer, move along.
This just keeps getting better.
Personally the murder seems personal. This dude must've planned it for quite some time.
If he threw monopoly money with the casings, this would have been legenday
This story keeps getting more & more felicitous by the story!
