Whoa. NYT reports the CEO of UnitedHealthcare was fatally shot in Midtown Manhattan in what appears to be a targeted attack: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12/04/nyregion/brian-thompson-uhc-ceo-shot

Applauding the violent death of anyone isn't a good look and going through some of these replies I am surprised and disappointed. I mean, I understand the reasons behind the rage but I can't agree with suggesting this was or should be an acceptable practise. I can think of alternatives that would be much worse and more effective--make the awful CEOs suffer.
@SnowshadowII @briankrebs Can't go around posting #eatherich and then shed crocodile tears at an event like this.
@phaedral
no one is shedding crocodile tears. And "eat the rich" is a phrase not to be taken literally.
I can never condone murder, never!
ETA: Unless someone is physically attacking my person and trying to murder me, face to face.

Not condoning violence but I ain't for sure losing any sleep over this.
