They are correctly framing the government as having its priorities and common sense misaligned.

I think the dude had a dark soul, and P’nut could sense that and bit him.
My brothers wife from Chile was a satanic thunderc*nt, and when she tried to pick up a groundhog it bit her.
Scurrying critters know these things. They wouldn’t have survived so long if they didn’t.

this is all about how the governmental agencies and its employees handled (pun intended) this situation
How is that incorrect?
If true, I’m sure they were nitrile exam gloves and not the thick, leather gloves they’re hoping people see in their minds when reading that.
I don’t think private property is an illusion, but government respect for property rights certainly seems to be(and not a good illusion…because it doesn’t seem to exist).
This did make me LOL, congrats @tlgains , this post of yours was actually funny.
“Alright squirrel, let me see your [rabies]papers”.
Squirrel reaches for something[an acorn], the cops “fearing for their lives” shoot him 87 times.
That’s how that would have went down…in my head.

I missed that one too.
That’s a good racist joke @tlgains.

Bonus: UnitedHealthcare CEO guy

I need to read up on that one. IDK what happened, just that people seem to care about it.
He can stay dead. My vote is between P’nut and McCain.
I don’t know much about it either but I can’t think of a recent high profile murder where people seem more supportive of the killer.

My guess is United Healthcare maybe didn’t approve someone’s wife’s cancer treatment/surgery…or maybe they did not approve some super expensive medication & whichever the case the wife died and this dude was just “the one” that blew a gasket and sought his own vigilante justice/retribution. I’d be willing to put money on it. Especially after seeing the news reports today that said he wrote words like “Deny” “Delay” (or something along those lines) on the bullet casings, which I’m guessing he was sending a message about big healthcare companies’ policies of denying, delaying, not approving, etc. expensive healthcare claims, surgeries, procedures, medicines all in the aim to reduce expenses and maximize profits.
That’s the reason so many seem to be supporting the killer, because so many Americans have gotten fucked over by the big, bloated, greedy, and heartless medical insurance companies in this country! Many expose’s and ex-employees have revealed that the above tactics are taught, encouraged, or demanded by people who work there. The more they deny/don’t approve, the less money they have going out & the better bonuses the employees receive. Watch some documentaries on US big pharma/insurance companies and it will sicken you, they see only dollars and cents and not human beings.
BUT I do not support the cold blooded, planned murder of a person on the streets like what occurred. Was that CEO part of the problem? Most likely yes, but we are supposed to live in a civilized nation, not Thunderdome. But I can empathize with people who have battled big pharma/insurance because I’ve had my own personal[yet little] battles myself and came away feeling more like an object than a person.
What did Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry say? “Every man’s got his limits”…I guess the shooter was that man.

Thats definitely a case of an [Insert Subject Here] news cycle.
Its almost every other video on my youtube feed, and I have absolutely nothing to do with any elements of that story. Other than an affinity for pistols with suppressors.

I gotta admit, it’s pretty badass
There’s nothing badass about executing a guy, even if you really feel like he has too much stuff, that he cheated his way into that stuff or that you deserve some of that stuff.
Healthcare is not a right. It can’t be.
This idea that we have the right to demand someone else spend a decade studying medicine and then go on to gather all of the necessary resources to provide medical care is completely bonkers.
Especially when you combine it with other policies like flooding the country with illegal migrants.
Of course the left is celebrating this, just as they celebrated Hamas’ slaughter of innocents.
Womp womp
I worked for a part of UHC. Scumbags. 100%. They had a computer system that reviewed the prior authorization requests from their Medicare Advantage plans, and then sent some of them to doctors to approve. The doctors spent less than 6 seconds on each one.
I don’t condone shooting the dude, but he definitely was on his way to jail.

Ok. I’ll say it.
If he was incentivising denial of care for people who were members of their plans or services, then he deserved to be shot.
In fact,more people that act like him also need it. They’re more than willing to accept money from the government for their services, but then they leave people to suffer and die for their own gain.
His life means as much as anybody elses, and he was judged by the same measure as he judged others.
. I said what I said.

A lot of actions could fall under that umbrella statement. Who else becomes complicit in such heinous actions? @doogie worked there, too.
Health insurance as a concept kind of falls apart if it becomes morally reprehensible to not pay any claim. Imagine if auto insurers had to cover the repairs for every jackass who bought liability only then totaled their car.
Politicians and by extension the voters are the main reason why health care is extraordinarily expensive. With your line of thought it becomes easy enough for some people to reason their way into killing people who they believe are voting for the death of their family members.
That’s one of the reasons why socialism always leads to the gulags, eventually. It is the natural thing to do when someone is in the way of utopia, where every person has access to readily-available healthcare delivered by well-trained professionals.
Hey buddy, fuck you.
