Deny, Defend, Depose

The timing on this could not have been more illustrative if it had been planned this way.

If you're a homeless man experiencing a mental breakdown on the subway, you can be legally killed in the United States.

Welcome to the club. We’re going to have to endure this whole struggle session by the hands of lefties until we’re demoralized and become good little revolutionary red guards.

Man, those progressive lefties and their perennial victim complexes

Had a relative who quit working for Blue Cross years ago. Couldn't take the stress.

They got POINTS for each denial! I'll let you figure out where that leads to.

Ugh, that's ugh

Ugh, that's ugh

the real ugh is that point system is being maintained so that management can boost their bonus systems...it is directly profiting from death and misery.

This is just based on a reddit thread, as his LinkedIn is now down:

https://www.reddit.com/r/civ/comments/1haipyc/suspect_in_the_fatal_shooting_of_unitedhealthcare

Wonder if they'll be any mention of this in the Civ 7 livestreams, as he certainly would've worked with people still there...

Based on the info, he was in a private high school in Baltimore (where Firaxis) is based, and would've been like 18 at that point. I'd guess he knows someone at Firaxis that got him the intern gig based on that....

He is the Italian/Rome Civ leader in Civ VII with the Leader ability to destroy any opposing Civs hospital.

What struggle?

Not being among the 72 I get plagued with at death

Y'all according to his LinkedIn he was a Firaxis intern from 2016 - 2017...

We can notice that the police seems to have deployed a LOT more efforts to catch the guy than the hundred of regular murders of regular Joe.
Maybe that's also one of the reasons the people are angry.

Is there anything stopping you from making topics about those other murders?

Otherwise I don't get the hand-waving about "hypocrisy" and "yeah-well-the-real-tragedy-here-is-blah-blah" going on in this and a few other posts.

This is a game forum not a police precinct

Is there anything stopping you? Or is your call-out merely performative?

Resources aren't unlimited.

If there were any other loud national manhunts going on they would likely be topics of conversation.

He was an UI bugfixer on Civ 6 back in 2016. With how horrifically buggy that game was on release, I think we finally know his villain origin story. He worked himself half to death fixing bugs on Civ 6 and was denied healthcare for it. Sad story, truly.

There's a non 0% chance he posted on these forums

You're going to have to define "lefties", in clear language so even a Canadian who isn't up on the minutiae of American politics can understand it.

Best to hope he didn't. Or if he did, that he didn't keep his username and password around.

They may have caught him!!!

No one's talking about all the other murders in America besides Brian Thompson's. You better hop to it.
