The New York Police Department is crowd-sourcing their investigation into the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson to the general public after two days with no positive ID on the shooter. But they may not get much help from the internet, according to multiple popular TikTok sleuths.
Anyone who rats him out will be the most hated person in America. There’ll be folk songs casting them as Judas and raps comparing them to the killers of Black Panther organisers and artworks of them burning in Hell with Hitler and Nixon and Murdoch, and eventually their descendants will change their surnames to evade the association.
The hostel that handed over images to police before they had a warrant is already catching shade.
Good, fuckin’ snitches
I’m surprised they haven’t caught more than that
Like a Molotov?
The most hated on Lemmy for sure. I am less certain about the whole USA. As most are aware, Lemmy is very radicalised.
What are normal people that aren’t chronically online thinking?
Have you taken a look at Facebook or Twitter…?
This is the single most unifying event in America since the Game of Thrones finale…
MAGA chuds, blue hairs, tankies, and normies, are all pretty united in their collective “lol”.
Everyone is chronically online now, just not on chronically on Lemmy.
The same shit. Actually talk to people and they are all apathetic to the healthcare millionaire vampire sucking people dry
I am seeing it on Facebook, of all places. It is bringing people together.
I’ve been seeing the same memes in local groups without specific political leans
If nothing else, this is why I didn’t think anyone would rat him out. Especially for the measly $50k the law is offering. They’d have to make it $5+ million, paid in advance and anonymously, so the idiot snitch could GTFO of Dodge before they come down with a sudden case of lynch mob.
They upped it from $10,000?
Lol
Also known as one er visit for a minor issue.
The media organizations owned by billionaires can’t understand the mystery. They continually screw over their employees, the public trust, their customers, the government and everyone else they can are baffled as to why the public is unwilling to help. Billionaires everywhere are quoted as wondering why they aren’t tasted like the deities they see themselves as.
More at 11.
tasted
Eat the rich.
“Treated” lol
The biggest tragedy of this whole thing is that all that meat went to waste.
And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it’s no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig sh*t, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.
Of course they understand, they’re not dumb, they’re evil.
I think what’s been the shock, if anything, has been has slow the Americans have been to react. That it’s gone this far without the people of the country doing anything is wiiiild. I guess all that lost sugar, lead and tapeworm IQ is doing it’s job.
They think it’s their right do screw over all those people, they don’t see anything wrong with it, that’s why they are surprised
Honestly, i never knew this would be the big event that would rally humanity together–i am 100% here for it though
Imagine this happening right before the primaries where Bernie was running on, among other things, universal healthcare.
i never knew this would be the big event that would rally humanity together
Briefly.
You’re welcome to keep it going
It’s only a matter of time before another one happens to rally behind. Hopefully the next one is just as competent.
It’s funny because 2010 internet would have tried to find this guy no matter the circumstances. I’m glad the enamor of social media has worn off so that “not your army” is completely internalized.
Would they? They went after bombers who hurt innocent bystanders, for instance.
But would they have gone after someone that did something people really have sympathy for? I don’t know that there’s any precedent suggesting they would.
nah, fuck them pigs. they wouldn’t go through this much effort to find your killer, who cares about a millionaire.
Rich people get heath care without regard to the cost.
Rich people get police investigation without regard to the cost.
Or as Brennan Lee Muligan put it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmaoNLSHx_w
Let’s make some fuckin’ bacon!!!
Where are the dipshit trolls who inhabit the dark corners of the internet? … why aren’t they going out to help to endlessly troll and make life a living hell for the investigators? Whenever some dumb internet contest happens, they’re usually the first to appear to spoil everything … they should be jumping on this one to troll the police while at the same time gain a bit of social sympathy from the masses.
I saw a thing about NYC having a lookalike contest?
Edit: sourcd
I love it
Oh snap, who came in second place?
DB Cooper
The unabomber
Charlie Chaplin.
For my part, I intend to aid with the investigation. I saw someone in suspicious headwear who I suspect may be involved.
I for one don’t believe he acted alone
They don’t need any help looking like idiots. Not getting involved is the correct choice here.
Elon is busy at the moment.
I’m fairly sure lying to the FBI is a felony?
Busy fapping over their dipshit idol and his orange BFF.
Maybe if the guy wasn’t such a piece of shit the pigs wouldn’t be the only ones trying to solve his murder.
something, something, first 48 hours
Represents a problem with society. Don’t like UnitedHealthcare? - Choose something else. Failed to honor their terms? - Sue them and let people know. It’s how capitalism works. Instead everyone wants to force things to work the way they want and take matters into their own hands. -A bunch of bushwackers.
Yeah because your average person can afford to sue one of the world’s wealthiest organizations.
Get your head out of your ass.
In this case, it would be a class action. stupid fucker
You can’t class action. “by using this service you waive your rights for a class action lawsuit and must settle all disputes via arbitration.” or some bullshit.
Then arbitrate or consult an attorney to see if it’s legit.
Just because a company is highest ranked at something doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
When did killing people become a solution?
When all other avenues are blocked, (like they are, don’t pretend the average person has any recourse) it becomes an option
It became a solution when we got results.
Also take a step back and look at human history. When have we ever actually gotten progress through anything but violence?
When did killing people become a solution?
Since the beginning of time.
We’re animals after all.
Those who make peaceful progress impossible, make violence inevitable. Brian Wealthcare over there was never going to see the inside of a courtroom, much less a jail cell, so vigilantism is the only recourse left. The bourgeois controls the other three boxes, but they’ll never control the ammo boxes
Hey stupid fucker… explain how class action suits are brought in the first place. Feel free to google it ( you know you have to)
You never had a job?
My employer uses United Healtchare, I have no choice in that.
Though Lo and behold, my prior auth that was denied, changed to approved after this.
Why are you blaming this one CEO and not appealing to your empoyer? Prisons were built for people with your mindset. -You’ve never been to prison?
Why are you blaming this one CEO
Under his leadership United’s denial rate has increased dramatically (to 32%, double the industry average), and they implemented an AI model that was known to be racially-biased and had a 90% defect rate in its determination. This particular company and CEO are egregiously worse than the rest of the already fucked up industry.
Then it should be a slam dunk trial… right?
People that talk like this are people that have never been involved in a lawsuit I assume. You have no Earthly idea how much time money and stress it costs you.
I’ve collected on multiple class action suits with minimal effort.
Me too! Did you take the $10, or the two 4 packs of redbull when they settled that it does in fact not give you wings? Did you invest that windfall? Have you turned that monetary gain into an empire yet…?
Lol that’s what I thought
Again, you never had a job? That not how that works. This CEO however, is in charge of the company that denied my PA. So theres that.
You think they have control over every little detail of what happened? There’s a reason we have a court system, and a prison system for people that think they’re the law.
Have you never gone to school or been taught how to be a part of society?
Again explain how the court system resolves this. The millions of lawyers out there that missed this lucrative opportunity are waiting with baited breath to hear you expound your wisdom.
Why are people arguing with this troll?
Because the last election proved that there is an abundance of people that lack critical thinking skills and simply default to the loudest voice in the room.
I don’t see anyone arguing. This is more like cats using a scratching post. Gotta keep the claws sharp, after all.
Cause its easy and fun.
Don’t like UnitedHealthcare? - Choose something else.
Ah yes, of course! Why didn’t I think of that? Guess I’ll wait till next November when open enrollment is back and I’m allowed to change providers to whomever my company picked for me for 2026.
Failed to honor their terms? - Sue them
Another great nugget of advice! My savings of less than a week’s worth of legal fees will surely topple a massive company that has been getting away with this long enough to have more lawyers than I have friends!
If you have a valid case against such a high value target, the lawyers won’t care how much you make.
Only if there is a good chance to win or settle. Validity is one part.
The onion should hire you.
man I thought I was an idiot but I feel inexplicably better about myself suddenly
What a dipshit troll
They way the system works is you you buy a service and then a few years later a fuckhead CEO enshittifies it to appease the shareholders. When it’s something like insurance you won’t know the service is shit until you actually try to use it and your claim is denied. You can’t change to a better insurance company that will accept your claim because insurance comapanies won’t accept a past claim when you sign up for the service.
So you’re fucked while the shareholders make more money and the CEO gets a bonus. You vote for someone that’s willing to prosecute price gougers but she loses the election to the scummiest billionaire out there because people care more about WWE memes than having a good government that’ll prevent billionaires from screwing you over.
Soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box. When greedy billionaires have taken control of the first three boxes, they leave people with only one box they can use.
Holy shit shut the fuck up bootlicker
See, this is what I’m talking about. Big fucking picture screaming “LOOK AT ME!”, yet with 131 downvotes.
I shouldn’t be seeing this comment and all. Why can’t Lemmy just auto-hide this for me?
Choose something else? Choosing insurance is like choosing if you want to drink pee or eat poop. All options suck.
