Normally, I'd say it's poor taste to speak ill of the dead. Normally.

That's not what the motivation is here. The media are

  • aware that the family can bury them
  • afraid to lose their jobs
  • beholden to their ~~masters~~ shareholders (or their Rupert Murdochs)
  • trying to make this go away
  • not on the side of the American people

Mass murderer was finally stopped by one of his victims

If you’re a fucking millionaire, at least have the decency to hire a driver when you’re sauced. Ffs.

No, he didn't get enough thrill of a kill from work, it's not the same, don't be mean like that to this poor person.

Even if you're not a millionaire, please at least get an Uber or taxi.

chill, it's called booze cruising

Well, other than drunk driving, insider trading, fraud and failing at his marriage and being a CEO of a firm that prevented people from getting the health care they need, he was a really nice guy.

You're thinking of the Chief Executive Officer, we're the Office of Executive Chiefs.

Fake news don't see no crime the way we don't see no murder.

The Adjuster is a public servant, never forget.

separated from his wife for years

Remember that according to the FBI more than half of murderers know their victims personally, and about a quarter are family relations.

I think the police really need to drop this whole "assassination" false flag and investigate the more probable angles. Could be that he was closeted and killed by a jilted lover, or the husband of the secretary he was banging, or a hitman hired by the estranged wife. No sense in harassing every man with a green jacket over this.

False flag? What are you on m8? Just gonna invenet your own narrative? The bullets had writing on that was a title of an book bashing g the industry...

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just trying to get the cops to stop harassing innocent and unrelated people is all.

Being separated from his wife is personal and not something I'd judge someone for. The rest is ok

[–] logos 80 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Of course, until the media paints him as a "beloved father and husband."

It's not judgment, just correcting the record.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That makes sense. I've not followed the media portrayal, so I wasn't aware of that context.

He's from corporate so he's not really part of our family.... And divorced so he's not really part of his family

And all that does not matter, he headed up a corporation which took peoples money to insure them against costs associated with their health care, and then denied paying out money his company had promised them when they needed it causing suffering and death. Those facts are indisputable.

Props to Klippenstein, he's consistently been an exemplar* of good journalism

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Kenny Klipps does great work, one of the very few last bastions of actual journalism remaining in America.

mind that if this were a black child shot in the back by a white supremacist they would be researching his life day and night to find maybe one photo where he made a weird hand sign so they can say he was no angel and maybe he was a gang member who knows ...

but an actual demon gets killed and the opposite campaign begins

[–] GhostedIC 1 points 6 days ago

Nah, they have definitely scoured back years of Facebook photos just to find a single one that isn't gang signs or posing with an illegal-in-illinois handgun.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

It reminds me of the whole "don't speak ill of the dead" as if them dying suddenly exonerates them from being a massive pile of shit while they were alive.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

I won't miss him.

[–] traches 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can we get a link to an article or something?

[–] tja 15 points 1 week ago

The first article on his website
