Even 8f they need protection they shpuld have to pay for it themselves.

Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealth Group’s insurance unit, was fatally shot outside the Hilton hotel in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday morning in what appears to be “a brazen, targeted attack,” the New York Police Department said.
“I want to be clear at this time, every indication is that this was a premeditated, preplanned, targeted attack,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said during a news conference Wednesday following the shooting.
“This does not appear to be a random act of violence,” she said, adding that the department is carrying out a full investigation.
Thompson, 50, led UnitedHealthcare, the largest private health insurer in the U.S. He was on the way to UnitedHealth Group’s investor day set for Wednesday at 8 a.m. ET at the Hilton, the NYPD said. The company canceled that event after the shooting.
A few more CEOs get shot and we may have to start changing gun laws!
Or more likely, provide them with police security details.
as in “Radicalized,” we’ll continue to grapple with the fact that America has a population of aggrieved, heavily armed white men who can move in elite spaces without arousing suspicion — and the fact that corporations like health insurance companies routinely murder-by-bureaucracy the people who matter most to these dudes.
More likely is a panic over Antifa/Occupy/Leftist "terrorists" as an excuse for stripping away more rights.LawBeefaroni wrote: Wed Dec 04, 2024 2:17 pm A few more CEOs get shot and we may have to start changing gun laws!
Two students were shot and the suspected gunman is dead after a shooting at a school in the Northern California community of Palermo, according to the Butte County Sheriff’s Office.
The agency said just before 2 p.m. that deputies were at an “active incident involving a shooting” at Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists.
The school is located 10 miles south of Oroville and almost 60 miles north of Sacramento. The school’s website says it has been at its current location since 1965, and an update from 2022 says it had just over 30 students.
GAGE PARK — A basement brawl at a Gage Park house party quickly escalated into a shooting that killed three people and wounded five others, according to authorities.
At about 2:10 p.m. Monday, police responded to a call of a person shot in the 3500 block of West 59th Street and found eight people wounded by gunfire, said Chicago Police Chief of Patrol Jon Hein.
Assuming this is correct, it means that the shooter wasn't clearing a jam, they were simply operating the bolt.Investigators reportedly believe the firearm is a BT Station Six 9, a weapon which is marketed as tracing its roots back to pistols used by Second World War-era Allied special operations forces.
A message left at the scene of a health insurance executive’s fatal shooting — “deny,” “defend” and “depose” — echoes a phrase commonly used to describe insurer tactics to avoid paying claims.
The three words were written on the ammunition a masked gunman used to kill UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, according to two law enforcement officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday. They’re similar to the phrase “delay, deny, defend” — the way some attorneys describe how insurers deny services and payment, and the title of a 2010 book that was highly critical of the industry.

Oh the (scathing) jokes and callous commentary flying on my FB feed are in direct contrast to all of the sympathetic news reports on family and work. It doesn't help that the Health Care commentary was already happening regularly and before the shooting.RM2 wrote: Fri Dec 06, 2024 2:32 pm I too find it difficult to sympathize with the victim here. I agree with something I read elsewhere where a person commented that they would like to send condolences but that is out of network.
I too do not condone murder…but after healthcare there’s the global warming issue and I’m sure there are some energy sector CEOs who might have garnered some ill will.Blackhawk wrote: Fri Dec 06, 2024 2:16 pm I can't condone murder, but corporate America really doesn't get that there is a limit to how much you can abuse people for profit before they start to fight back.

A fabricated screenshot shared online purports to show Elon Musk saying in an X post, “the world would not be able to function” without CEOs, in response to the fatal shooting of a UnitedHealth executive on Wednesday.
Which is too bad, because this was the funniest meme I saw today:VERDICT
False. A screenshot of a purported Elon Musk post on X about the importance of CEOs after the December shooting of a UnitedHealth executive is fabricated.
Glenn Litton, 56, shot two boys who were outside for recess at Feather River Adventist School before fatally shooting himself, Butte County sheriff’s officials said, and had entered the campus after setting up a meeting with school administrators using a fake name and concocted reason. He had told the school that his daughter recently moved to nearby Gridley and that he was considering enrolling his grandson in the rural kindergarten through eighth grade school, located just off of Highway 70 in Butte County near Palermo and Oroville. However, investigators have deemed that meeting a “ruse,” Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said at a news conference Thursday.
“We’ve also determined that there was an alternative target,” he said. It appears Litton, who authorities said does not have a grandson, set up a similar ploy at another small Seventh-day Adventist school, this one in Red Bluff. A city of about 15,000 people, Red Bluff is about 70 miles northwest of Oroville.
