Brian Thompson, 50, was killed in a “premeditated, preplanned targeted attack,” police said.

Summary

Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot in a premeditated attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown before speaking at an investor conference.

The gunman, still at large, fired multiple times, leaving shell casings marked with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.”

Authorities suggest Thompson was targeted but remain unclear on the motive. His wife confirmed prior threats against him.

Analysts speculate a possible vendetta tied to his company. The case raises questions about executive security, as Thompson lacked personal protection despite known risks.

    Any gun regulation is a slow decent to zero guns for regular people

    It’s not. There is not chance of that happening in your lifetime.

    The elite have given people a choice: gun rights and policies for the rich… or no guns and policies for the poor.

    No they haven’t. There use to be lots of violent left-wing groups. Black Panthers, SLA, Japanese Red Army etc

    We need to have liberals start embracing the NRA because any gun regulation seems toxic to middle America, and for good reason

    Wrong. . The NRA is NOT protecting American’s right to buy a gun. The 2nd amendment does that. It would take 3/4 of the states to do end that right, and about 80% if the country would have to agree. There is no chance it would happen.

    What the NRA IS doing is opposing sensible gun restrictions what would reduce mass murders
