I’m out of the loop. Please, explain.
American hero, Agent 47/John Wick/etc, shot the CEO of United Healthcare and killed him at 7am in front of the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan.
He had “Deny, Defend, Depose” carved into the shell casings of the spent cartridges he used to kill the parasite.
He then rode away on an E-Bike and hasn’t been seen since.
As an aside, another proposed moniker for this hero is “Lancelot”, as he has clearly slain a dragon. Three cheers for the Dragonslayer!
Don’t insult dragons by comparing them to a fuckin health insurance exec!
I’m speaking, of course, of greedy, wealth hoarding dragons like Smaug. Who would slaughter an entire mountain of Dwarves to get his claws on wealth he will never spend, just to have it.
His name is Spartacus.
I am Spartacus.
Copayback. I’ve never smiled as much as I have today. Random Shooter can have anything he wants or needs from me, an alibi, a bike rental, a kidney.
Tying a gift card to a balloon and writing a note to go with it “God bless the CEO slayer”
That video is just so wonderful. He executes him so smoothly, hardly moving, and leaves with a smile. I love it.
My very large sample of Facebook posts from people who had their claims denied by United Healthcare I made today.
Wake the fuck up, samurai. We’ve got a CEO to ventilate.
“to ventilate/was ventilated” is what im gonna use from now on thank you its genious
Glad I could teach you an interesting phrase :D
It’s actually quite old. It’s been used in this context of ‘shooting someone’ since at least the 1870’s.
To celebrate, I went on a (buying) spree on a rented e-bike today!
(Unfortunately it’s a bit costly around here)
The more often I see this fact, the more I realize that none if it is satire
Such a tragic loss! He’s going to miss those dictionary bullets! Each bullet comes with one word written on it…live, life, laugh are probably still I’m the barrel
I spent this week searching for Christmas gifts. It’s cold outside and I suddenly had this thought that everyone in my family plus my friends are getting tan colored jackets with hoods. It just came to me out of the blue.
I can’t wait for some kind of cyberpunk asshole nuke to blow up the pentagon in the next episode of reality
Nah, they need to do it at Black Rock HQ.

Straight out of a William Gibson novel.
Idgaf what anyone says, that mf is a hero

That’s the one fucking thing that I don’t understand about US psychos.
They like preying on the vulnerable
Really? You don’t understand how a mentally disturbed person can gain easier access to a kindergarten than a board room?
Is your username a Behold the Arctopus reference?
Thank you for reminding me that this band exists.
Check out their latest album, it’s on their bamdcamp and on Colin’s youtube channel, it’s unreal
Hell yeah, glad they’re still putting out new stuff
It’s so great knowing other people are aware of behold.
The world needs more Mike Lerner guitar solos, also check out Wax People (he’s not on any recordings yet, but metal needs more noisy wind instruments)
Check my avatar
Oh wow idk why but on my version of Voyager I can’t see any avatars to the point that I was certain that there are no user avatars in here at all ;/ I’ll assume it’s that awsome album artwork made by Voivod drummer (like all of the other bta artworks) but I really can’t see it(
Edit: I mean if I could see it I wouldn’t’ve asked about the username (presuming that it is that album’s cover)
Voivod drummer? Brother only one BTA album has artwork by Away, it’s the split that has Paincave.
My avatar is the Skullgrid artwork.
The rest of them were done by Terry Grow, who also did some of the Dysrhythmia artworks (Defo Terminal threshold, maybe Psychic maps)
Voivod drummer? link explaination
I added the chapelle show clip “Truck diver?” to indicate the tone of voice to read “Voivod Drummer?” , not the rest of the sketch
You’re right, thank you for the correction🤝
Masked Gunman 2028.
But he’s a felon! oh wait…
He hasn’t been convicted yet. I don’t think they’ll find a jury that will, either.
He’s got a plan to take down trump.
Fuck yes!
Look, if Elon got run over by a Tesla, everyone would be laughing it off right now. If putin got smashed between a large truck and another large truck or by some other means like a large steel plate, everyone would be more than ecstatic. I would do a little dance myself. So I think we should just not try to figure out who did this too hard. It just happens sometimes. Right?
Cuz nobody figures out who denied your claim when your dad had to die right? Where’s the justice there? This is it! This is the justice. Don’t want it? Well then implement a better way to get justice. As, is, this is great.
Hey gun crime is just a reality we have to live with, according to the Republicans in Congress. So I don’t see any reason to make a big fuss just because this rich bastard accidentally feel into some bullets, instead of the usual bunch of innocent children or random black person the cops decided to shoot while face down and in handcuffs. No, I’m sure the police have much more serious police matters to attend to, like civil forfeiture on somebody carrying a large amount of cash or selling appropriated weapons to drug cartels.

I think he should have demonstrated the use of that metal tube he wanted to use as a rescue sub to rescue those kids in the thai cave. Best way to demonstrate its safe is to go into it yourself.
Or he could use a pseudonym and work remote from one of the companies he owns and see how long he lasts as a worker. He thinks he can judge other peoples code? lets see his medicore bitchass show up and show us all how its done.
That guy sucks.
Maybe he could go get the remains of the Titan. Who knows what we could learn from that.

This is part of the hell that we live in.
If you have a complaint about any corporation, you can’t do anything about it. They all run phone trees designed to waste your time and make it impossible to reach anyone who can actually do anything. They pay call center workers in India nothing to take the frustration which should be directed at the C-suites.
We live in a world with zero accountability for anyone with a sizable bank account.
Come now. Everyone knows pootin doesn’t like heights or falling out windows
Oh that’s right! He loves the planet. I wish to offer him a planet hug from 7 stories away.
People got so hung up on cool cyberware and Johnny Silverhand that they completely forgot Cyberpunk was a warning.
who wouldn’t want to have e-narrator Keanu in their mind sarcastically commenting their every move ? I’ve already preordered
Look Mom, I’m on the top of Arasaka tower.
Did they put that in the game? If they did that is almost certainly a tip of the hat to Rico Rodriguez, from the Just Cause series
I think it’s from Edgerunners.
Ok, well then Edgerunners seems to be giving Rico a nod. That show came out decades after Just Cause, where if you manage to get to the highest point on any of the four maps, Rico says “Look Ma! Top of The World!” in JC1 and all subsequent games the line was, “Look Ma! Top of The World! … … again.”
Oh, they’re both quoting James Cagney in White Heat from 1949.
Fair enough. I am not sure how many James Cagney films I’ve seen, but I would wager that I could count them on one hand.
That’s it, I officially get my news mostly from memes
First time?
No, that’s kinda what I meant
Seems risky for the perpetrator, won’t they be able to trace who rented the bike?
They took the ebike into central park and got away on foot from there. I doubt they’re the one that rented the bike or if they did, they did it with fake info and a prepaid card. Once they got to central park they probably swapped into a new set of clothes out of that backpack and disapeared.
Not just new clothes, probably a reversible backpack so when leaving the park the backpack wasn’t even the same color.
Y’all really just crafting whatever narrative you want in your heads, aren’t ya?
What does your little voice have you do? Mine is a movie director and you are ruining the plot…
Might as well. No empathy for merchants of death.
The insurance companies are the death panels politicians used to talk about like the bogeyman, not the government.
Don’t really give a shit about any of the rich assholes making decisions about who should die just to increase shareholder returns.
What does any of that have to do with the comment chain? I was commenting on how people are just running wild with their imagination instead of sticking to facts.
If you only care about the facts, read the fucking article and ignore the comments. No one here is an expert or involved in the investigation, we’re here to talk about it.
For whatever reason, you seem to not understand the function of a comment section, and feel the need to voice that. Not sure why.
You okay, mate?
Word is it wasn’t a rental bike after all which is probably smarter.
They would have to go through the ebike company, and that could take some time
Apparently some corporate dick sucker scrapes the public feeds for the bikes and volunteered the information for the likely bike pretty much immediately.
Booooo. Can we add that guy to the list?
Corpo netrunners, you say?
They can trace the credit card. Whether or not that leads to the actual shooter is a different matter.
Step 1
Walk into a Walgreens and buy a prepaid visa with cash
Walgreens is a bad choice. They’ve invested a ton of money into cameras and surveillance for their locations. Almost on the level of Target for loss prevention.
Agreed, see my follow up comments for better approaches
They probably know which Walgreen’s it was bought in and can check when it was bought, likely there are cameras in the store. Hope the dude was wise enough to wear a mask or some other disguise.
Camera footage takes up more storage than most companies are willing to pay for, especially for retail. Any footage was likely overwritten beyond a certain point, assuming the drive is even still functional after years of wear and tear.
Edit: For a rough calculator https://www.seagate.com/video-storage-calculator/
That’s a great tool, thanks.
That’s true, if it was really planned to the tee it was probably something like https://www.bitrefill.com/us/en/gift-cards/virtual-prepaid-visa-usa/
Edit:
Or more likely:

It it were really planned couldn’t someone just wait a month or so? They’re not storing footage for that long.
