The largest health insurance group in the nation, it’s CEO stepped out of his hotel in the morning and was shot dead by a man who supposedly may have “laid in wait” all night.

United healthcare has an estimated value of 562 BILLION dollars.

Of course it happened in NYC, the home of fair trials, low crime rates and an unbiased legal system…sarcasm.

It is going to be interesting to find out the motive for this shooting.

Denied healthcare for a loved one? That is a possibility. Or, it could be a personal issue.

Brian Thompson didn’t shoot himself.
The cameras weren’t working.
The guards were asleep.
The list of clients will not be made public.

I don’t think it was denied healthcare because people at that low level usually take it out on the people working in that office . I believe it was a personal hit, made to look like it was office related.

“The sources said the shooting was not a random incident.”

somebody’s loved one died because UnitedHealthCare denied a medical procedure or medicine necessary to save their lives, and said, “F-it, i’ve got nothing to lose now, and a perfect revenge would also be a wakeup call to those who setup, condone, and profit by such a corrupt medical system that killed my loved one.”

Probably not a good source, but the forum posts on FOX we’re talking about a Silencer being used.

If it was a hired hit, the shooter is most likely unalived already. If it was an angry patient or client the police will eventually find them but they will most likely go down swinging. IMHO

My bet is if they don't catch the shooter within the first 24 hours he will get away with it.

That would narrow it down to thousands of people. And god only knows the enemies they made during covid. Family of someone who died from the shot. Family of someone who was denied seeing a loved one and they dies alone. A tranny who missed his penis?

Who knows?

Apparently he was arriving at the Hilton to attend a meeting when a masked gunman assassinated him. Sounds like an inside job arranged by someone who knew his schedule. There are many surveillance cameras in that area of Manhattan. Few felonies are solved these days in NYC. Perhaps there are still a few veteran NYPD detectives still on the job who may solve this high profile case. Also sounds like a Law and Order plot. Suspect there is much more to this story.

Is there an accurate account of the number of illegals they had to push out of the way to get this guy into the ER?

The bullet removal has been deemed not medically necessary. Claim denied.
