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.

    Big time. I’m literally stocking up on things I might need to get me through the next four years.

      I keep seeing “next four years,” and I think people are being wildly optimistic.

        Even if we still have elections again, when has a democrat ever relinquished power that a republican gained?

      You demonstrate no faith in the system you extol.
