Summary

Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot in a premeditated attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown before speaking at an investor conference.

The gunman, still at large, fired multiple times, leaving shell casings marked with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.”

Authorities suggest Thompson was targeted but remain unclear on the motive. His wife confirmed prior threats against him.

Analysts speculate a possible vendetta tied to his company. The case raises questions about executive security, as Thompson lacked personal protection despite known risks.

    Killing CEOs won’t accomplish anything. They do what they do because the govenrment loosened regulations. You want better healthcare, you’ll get more accomplished voting for a Democrat than killing CEOs. Americans don’t really give a shit about anything other than the price of gas and eggs so here we are.

        No, no, elections aren’t cancelled. Republican states’ governments just only count votes for candidates they like.
