Leftists celebrate the murder of the CEO of an insurance company
Mark Tapson looks at the disturbing but perhaps unsurprising case of leftists who celebrated the murder of a CEO of a business:
Like practically everyone in the country, I have no love for the massive American healthcare bureaucracy or for a medical profession that was exposed by the COVID pandemic as being riddled from top to bottom with greedy liars. I would wager that most Americans have either personally experienced medical malpractice/indifference or know someone who has; outrageous tales of systemic heartlessness abound. The collapse of trust in our healthcare system over the last several years, like the collapse of our trust in the news media, has been well-deserved. So yes, people are right to be fed up and to expect better. But does it really need to be said that targeting healthcare industry executives for assassination is not only not the solution, but is also morally wrong?So despite there likely being no solid evidence to prove the insurance company had any responsibility, something hospitals were more likely to have, the monsters spoken about engaged in their repulsive behavior anyway. Interesting analogy made about the leftist responses to October 7, 2023, since it further proves what lack of love for life these ideologues actually have. What this current case suggests is that there's leftists out there looking for cheap excuses to claim they're against abuse of the medical industry, which unfortunately is phony. And now, they once again throw away morality for the sake of perversions.
Apparently it does need to be said, because the widespread, open celebration over the recent murder of one such CEO and the surge of popular support for the suspect are very disturbing. They are reminiscent of the ghoulish celebration over the October 7, 2023 massacre of Israelis, perceived as genocidal occupiers, and the defense of the Hamas subhumans who perpetrated it (“You don’t get to choose how we resist,” was the cruel slogan declared by those who sought to justify the terror group’s war crimes).
United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, was murdered last Wednesday at 6:46 a.m. outside the Midtown Hilton Hotel in New York City by a hoodied gunman. Surveillance video shows the assassin slipping up behind the oblivious Thompson, aiming a silenced pistol a few feet from his back, and firing three times.
The response from many media talking heads and social media accounts was swift and shockingly exultant. The gist of it all was that Thompson, as the chief honcho of an insurance company perceived to be responsible for tens of thousands of patient deaths from the callous denial of treatment coverage, deserved an equally callous extrajudicial execution. For example, former Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz (who admittedly is unhinged), told Piers Morgan that she felt “joy” over Thompson’s murder. Another example: a Columbia professor self-described as “anti-violence” and “Commie” tweeted his disdain for “multimillionaires” like Thompson and highlighted the deaths of Americans for whom Thompson was supposedly responsible. Predictable comparisons of the CEO to Hitler and other Nazi monsters littered the internet.
The United Healthcare exec left behind a wife and two children, but that elicited no sympathy from the assassin’s defenders. “Fuck his family too,” tweeted Mike Figueredo, self-described on social media as “Host of The Humanist Report, co-host of The Leftist Mafia” to his nearly 122,000 followers.
