One of the biggest stories over the past few days involved the assassination of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare. Luigi Mangione, 26, approached Thompson and fatally shot him before making his escape. “Deny,” “defend,” and “depose” were written on bullet casings recovered from the scene. Many actually cheered this act, and sympathized with Mangione. After the latter was identified at McDonald’s and turned in, many flooded this establishment with negative reviews. Senator Elizabeth Warren made a statement empathizing with both Mangione and those who cheered his act.<\/p>\n

From New York Post:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“The visceral response from people across the country who feel cheated, ripped off, and threatened by the vile practices of their insurance companies should be a warning to everyone in the healthcare system,” Warren (D-Mass.) told the Huffington Post in an interview.<\/p>\n

“Violence is never the answer, but people can only be pushed so far.”<\/p>\n

In a subsequent statement, the Massachusetts senator added: “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.”<\/p>\n

Last Wednesday morning, a gunman shot Thompson, 50, in the back of his head outside a Sixth Avenue hotel.<\/p>\n

UnitedHealthcare is the largest private health insurance provider in the US.;<\/p>\n

Since then, authorities have apprehended tech whiz Luigi Mangione, 26, as the suspected assassin.<\/p>\n

Investigators have speculated that Mangione may have had a grudge against the healthcare industry as evidenced by an X-ray photo on his X account and the fact that he had books involving chronic back pain on his Goodreads account reading list, sources previously told The Post.<\/p>\n

Strikingly, an outcry of netizens has cheered the slaying of Thompson, ripping into the US healthcare system. This included former Washington Post media journalist Taylor Lorenz taking “joy” in the killing.<\/p>\n

“This is a warning that if you push people hard enough, they lose faith in the ability of their government to make change, lose faith in the ability of the people who are providing the health care to make change, and start to take matters into their own hands in ways that will ultimately be a threat to everyone,” Warren added to the outlet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
