The CEO of United Healthcare was shot to death on the streets of Manhattan this morning.  The New York Times reported: 

The chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, one of the nation’s largest health insurers, was fatally shot in the chest in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday morning, according to a police report and two people familiar with the matter.

Police officers are still searching for the gunman, who fled east on foot along Sixth Avenue, the report said. He was wearing a cream-colored jacket, a black face mask and a gray backpack.

How did this happen since possession of firearms is illegal in NYC?

Including murder?

Yo NY, how are those anti-SECOND AMENDMENT laws working out for y'all?

If only NY had strict firearms laws this would never had happened.

Dispute resolution and impulse control seem to be at an all time low, at least in modern times. Get the wrong order at McDonalds-destroy the place and attack workers, get cut off in traffic-go full road rage, bump carts in Walmart- resort to Some hybrid of WWE and Sumo wrestling. The msm hammers home victimhood and justifies uncivilized responses. Wouldn’t surprised if they deem this as a “ mostly peaceful” protest and then go after the oppressive insurance carriers and promote Obamacare

Likely work related or someone unhappy with the coverage exemptions. Didn't notice y'all being so upset when it's a Neo Nazi or a Proud Boy murdering folks.
And, you are right, no law or rule ever doesn't get broken by the lawless and rule breakers! So y'all just keep having unrealistic expectations and forget that more often than not, a law or rule reduces the number of bad outcomes. You know like all the people who died of Covid and didn't have to die. Even with the Black Plague there were a few who seemed immune. But, even back then, people had enough sense not to assume they had the unknown protection. But, sadly, the barbarians at the gate of a prosperity is common. And, those of you moaning and groaning need to travel to other countries and stay long enough to find out how very lucky you are comparatively. Stay where you folks doing what you do live. For sure , you'll miss even a window air conditioner! You will miss the convenience of buying what you need. You'll miss the variety of foods. You'll miss the space in rooms and our public bathrooms. Lord y'all are so unrealistic!

I see many people celebrating online, and it's not surprising considering how badly health insurance have screwed us all in recent years.

I think it wise for hone insurance executives to hire personal security in light of this event.

11:10—what?

11:10 AM, please provide the total number of murders committed by “a Neo Nazi or a Proud Boy” in, say, the ten years so we can compare to the total number of murders committed in the cities leftist Democrats use chaos and crime to destroy then control forever. Thank you!

P.S. Health insurance for those who worked for and earned in was much better until Barack “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor and your insurance premiums will go down” Obama and his Democrat Party f____d it up.

Please don't come after the suppressors.

@12:23 - can you share whatever you’re smoking? I’m ready to forget the next 4 years and it seems to have worked for you.

I had a very difficult time finding the actually video, because Heaven forbid people might actually see what happens when someone gets shot.

What I was able to see looked like the shooter's gun wasn't functioning properly. The linked article said it was a single action, which it clearly was not. The guy probably didn't know what he was doing and mounted a silencer that needed a booster, and obviously didn't test fire it beforehand.

Suppressors are known to affect cycling, hence his repeated racking of the slide. However, he didn't freak out or get careless, he just kept on carrying out the mission

@KF I have never had issue with full power ammunition having an effect on cycling. However, it is much louder. However, quieter "subsonic" ammo tends to struggle to cycle the ammo.

Charlie dealt in pharmaceuticals
Charlie used to sell me pills
Yesterday his sister called to tell me
He'd been killed
Some respectable doctor from Beverly Hills
Shot him through the heart
Charlie didn't feel a thing
Neither of them did
Poor kid
Charlie dealt in pharmaceuticals
He sold those expensive drugs
I gave Charlie all my money
What the hell was I thinking of?
Charlie had to take his medicine
Charlie got his prescription filled
I came to say goodbye
I'm sorry Charlie died
I came to finish paying my bill
I came to finish paying my bill
I came to finish paying my bill
I came to finish paying my bill
Charlie dealt in pharmaceuticals
Charlie used to sell me pills
Yesterday his sister called to tell me
He'd been killed
Charlie had to take his medicine
Charlie got his prescription filled
I came to say goodbye
I'm sorry Charlie died
I came to finish paying my bill
I came to finish paying my bill
I came to finish paying my bill
I came to finish paying my bill

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
