Some people are just sick in the head. I don’t care what you think of the insurance industry. You don’t advocate or carry out the murder of a CEO — or anyone else, for that matter — just because he runs the company. But whether you’re on the left OR right, if you’re celebrating what the murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson did, just know that you’re a bad person.
You can hate the insurance industry all you want. Lord knows it’s warranted, but to literally put up “Wanted” posters of insurance CEOs calling for their deaths makes you the tyrant, not them.
Well, apparently there have been “WANTED” posters spotted in New York City — go figure — of health insurance company CEOs stating “FIGHT BACK” and “HEALTH CARE CEOS SHOULD NOT FEEL SAFE.”
According to The Post Millennial:
The poster shows his photo with a red "X" through it. It blames Thompson, not his killer, for his death, and issues threats to other executives with OptumHealth and UnitedHealthcare. These posters are a direct call for violence against executives in the health insurance industry.
"Deny: UnitedHealthcare denied more medical claims than any other health care company, killing everyday people for the sake of profit. As a result, Brian Thompson was denied his claim to life. Who will be denied next?" It continues, under the "Defend" heading, saying "Punishing the CEOs who profit violently off of suffering and death gives the power back to the people. Defend those who defend us against vultures like Brian Thompson."
"Depose," it reads, "Health insurance companies are our collective enemy. We must remove them and take their power and give it back to the people. Dethrone the CEOs!" The poster claims "Health care CEOs should not feel safe. Deny, Defend, Depose." The video of the posters was shared across social media.

I’m sorry — not really — but whoever put these posters up is a sick freak. In today’s societal climate some nut will see that and take action.
If you think this is the way to deal with things, then you suffer from — at least — a mental illness. Either that or you’re simply a psychopath.
