News about the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Biran Thompson sent former The Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz into a tizzy.
On the Bluesky social media platform, Lorenz wrote in response to a news report about Thompson’s death:
“And people wonder why we want these executives dead.”
Lorenz then posted an image of Blue Cross Blue Shield CEO Kim Keck, which some saw as a suggestion that other healthcare executives should be killed, too.
“People have very justified hatred toward insurance company CEOs because these executives are responsible for an unfathomable amount of death and suffering,” Lorenz explained in yet another post.
“As someone against death and suffering, I think it’s good to call out this broken system and the ppl in power who enable it.”
NEW: The man who m*rdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson inscribed the words “deny,” “defend” & “depose” on the shell casings that were left at the scene.
The masked ass*ssin is still on the run as details of his whereabouts remain unknown.

One interesting thing about the crime scene where Thompson was found is that there were bullet casings littered on the ground that bore an inscription reading “Delay, Deny & Depose,” which suggests the murder was motivated about insurance industry corruption.
“[T]he way we’re socialized to see violence only as interpersonal – not see state violence (policies that create poverty / kill), structural violence, institutional violence – is very deliberate,” added Jezebel staff writer Kylie Cheung about the situation.
“[H]ealth insurance executives kill people every day by denying them coverage btw.”
Klippenstein responded to claims that he and the other journalists are expressing callous responses to Thompson’s death by writing on X / Twitter that the issue is not so much Thompson’s life as it is the lives of the people who are harmed by the healthcare system he helped run.
“No **** murder is bad,” Klippenstein wrote. “The jokes about the United CEO aren’t really about him; they’re about the rapacious healthcare system he personified and which Americans feel deep pain and humiliation about.”
Lorenz appears to want more healthcare executives to die since she reposted a Bluesky post from another user that reads:
“[H]ypothetically, would it be considered an actionable threat to start emailing other insurance CEOs a simple ‘you’re next?’ Completely unrelated to current events btw.”
All this social infighting is reminiscent of the downfall of Rome, which is the same direction the United States is headed.
“Our society is actively eating itself,” one commenter wrote about this. “This same phenomenon happened in Rome.”
“Health insurance has been incrementally impoverishing the U.S. middle class for decades,” wrote another.
“Health insurance is NOT healthcare. It is a gambling / extortion racket that uses healthcare as its cover for legitimacy. You can only extort people so much before they lose all hope and just go crazy with rage. Even the mafia can only demand so much in ‘protection’ money before things explode.”
“Exactly,” responded another. “They’ve been ******* people over with health insurance, medical, and food systems for 50 years. They are literally killing us.”
“This is not a left / right thing,” added another. “Every American wants these ****bags paying the piper and meeting their lord satan as soon as possible.”
“Golden parachute must mean the color of the liquid they rain on us while floating away.”
