Wouldn't be surprised, either

A politely-put headline from the Associated Press

UnitedHealthcare CEO’s shooting opens a door for many to vent frustrations over insurance - National | Globalnews.ca

For years, patients in the U.S. health care system have grown frustrated with a bureaucracy they don’t understand.

That is British level of understatement.

Shooter look alike contest, with cheerleaders ( not sure if they are part of it, or just happen to be there ), in Washington Square

I was referring to Dems in the context as the Democrat Party, not individual Democrat voters who will be all over the spectrum.

Democrat (ic) Party sounds like saying Republic (an) Party.

I suspect that the demise of Health Insurance executives is something the rank and file of both parties can agree upon.

I think there are better ways to deal with this than gun them down in the streets.

But at the same time they have created this monster.

It would be interesting to hear Republican contortions on this, given their general propensity to support big business (although some would be happy to see nobody have to buy insurance) - and all levels of health delivery in the U.S. are pretty big business.

Imagine all the other aspects of life with which people are frustrated, and now think about whether the action should be "understood" or condemned outright.

Isn't this the truth.

It's an interesting phenomenon when someone generally hated is severely hurt or killed. The generally accepted behavior is to point out someone being hurt or killed is never funny or acceptable; but when a critical LOL mass is reached, it becomes a running joke.


There's a $10K reward for information leading to the shooters arrest. Does New York do this for every murder case?

They should make it 20 K then refuse to pay......like the HMOs do. Bahahaha

For the 1%, Billy-Bob in Tulsa or Démonte in Queens getting whacked doesn’t raise an eyebrow because it’s just the plebes doing self culling. But when the Plebes are starting to whack the 1%, well then the SHHTF and they cannot let that happen at all!!!

Michael (Garand Thumb) has a good video about the firearm used in the assassination. Theories, to be sure, but well educated ones. Mike is one of the more knowledgeable, prolific and premier firearms experts on YouTube. What he says makes more sense than anything I've seen reported so far. You can decide for yourself.

This is about 15 minutes long.

I remain surprised at the lack of vigilante justice in society at large. A sign that things are mostly functioning i guess

Can be both. We can - and should - condemn something outright, while still understanding the reality underlying someone’s motivation to commit something we condemn. I can understand all kinds of terrible things that shouldn’t take place.

Not all, but they're not uncommon in most western jurisdictions.

The consent to be governed and ruled over is a tenuous one and not to be taken lightly or for granted. A functioning democracy makes that consent stronger, but as things slowly unravel, so do the bonds on that consent.
