Probably a little bit of two things:
1) Society has become increasingly crass/numbed and lots of things have lost any shock factor to them.
2) Social Media lends itself to people being edgy and saying/doing whatever largely for attention to themselves.

Probably too soon to have a motive, but let’s say it’s a “man on fire” situation. United lobbies politicians constantly to screw the consumer. Is this a “watering of the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants” situation in anyone’s opinion?

Yea this is a pretty accurate claim and it’s online so people will spike the ball. Also easier for people to do as this was a figure head to it not your neighborhood insurance rep.
People don’t like when bad things happen to them and then aren’t sad when bad things happen to those they believe caused it. This isn’t new, it’s just more readily available to observe. I think this is a different discussion today if it was a ceo of a non controversial industry. Even then what Industry doesn’t have people that hate it? Medical people hate for various reasons, media did it to themselves by being liars, people hate lawyers, some people at accounting even non irs side (mostly audits fault) people at car dealers, etc.

The people that know how good we have it as Americans work in the deep state/globalist government.
The people that don’t know how good we have it are us, Americans.
The people that know how to make it not as good are the globalist elites.
Introducing assassinations to anti establishment groups is what I fear.

I wish the govt was run uhc when it comes to disability claims. Half of the fricking country is disabled now.

It is a little scary since it comes from both sides. The tendency of even moderates to excuse the the crazies on the extremes of their sides means that this attitude gets less pushback than your typical crazy beliefs.
I really get the anger but unilateral executions probably are not the best way to move forward.

I read a LOT of similar sentiments from people reacting to the assassination attempt on Trump. Plenty of outright cheering as well, but this was a popular "moderate" response. "Well, people wouldn't be cheering if it was anybody other than Trump. You can't expect us to feel empathy for Hitler." Not quite cheering the attempt, just making excuses for the people who did.

Maybe. I didn't expect to feel the way I did. I don't think many people expected to chuckle with schadenfreude about what was written on the casings, but here we are.

If you and HHTM are in agreement on a controversial subject, I'm always happy to be on the other side

Yea street level executions aren’t the answer moving forward in a civilized state. I don’t think we see this become more common unless we slide into a Great Depression. Comfort keeps a lot of the problems at bay.

My company provided a variety of plans from United, Blue Cross, Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, Kaiser, etc. In my experience, United was the best of the bunch. The others were a pain in the but*.

There's a fine line between terrorism and patriotism. Our founding fathers walked that line.
There's plenty of MAGA who is okay with what happened yesterday. This is more populism vs globalism than it is left vs right

All jokes aside it's really fricked up to see so many people celebrating murder. No one is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximize profits on your health.

I’d say with Trump the entire left was close to cheering and the rinos were kinda in excuse mode for them.
I’m more interested in was this strictly related to someone losing all hope because united killed a family member or made this person go broke or was it more about the DOJ stuff.
It’s more a curiosity of how close we are to being uncivilized.

Underlying issue is the envy culture built by the Marxist in this country. Instead of pushing people to achieve more and in the process help the greater good, they purposely keep people down, point to successful people as the cause of their poverty and rile them up to action.
When Obama promised to fundamentally change this country, that's what he was talking about.

WEll, when the insurance companies have the system rigged in their favor and representative government has failed the people, don't be shocked at some of this.
