UnitedHealthcare CEO fatally shot in midtown Manhattan

I don't think this ceo should be killed. However it's absolutely the case that this ceo has taken actions that resulted in the deaths and suffering of others. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if someone lost a family member due to this ceo and that turned out to be the motive.

I'm nervous about the precedent this sets, if that turns out to be the motive.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't a hired hit by a jilted ex/mistress or somebody going for assets and a life insurance policy. That's what it usually is with these rich people. Crazy pissed off patients usually shoot up the hospital and broke people can't hire a hitman.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was thousands or tens of thousands.

It reminds me of the assassination of Shinzo Abe. Original assumptions were that it was a political rival... Turned out to be a very simultaneously personal and abstracted "My mother gave away our entire inheritance to the religious group Abe supports and legitimized" grievance.
