On December 4, 2024 United HealthCare CEO, Brian Thompson was shot and killed by an unknown and masked gunman. The attack happened at 7am when the masked gunman was waiting in the freezing cold outside of the Hilton Hotel Brian was staying at. When brian walked out the gunman approached him from behind and shot him once in the back and once in the right calf. He was pronounced dead at 7:12am that same morning.
The words “delay” and “depose” were found on a live round and a shell casing tied to the shooter, according to Law Enforcment at the scene. “Depose” was written on a shell casing from a round that was fired into Brian, while “Delay” was written on a live round that was ejected when the shooter appeared to be clearing a jam. Everything about this attack appears to be premeditated, preplanned, and targeted very carefuly.
So that begs the question who and why would someone kill the CEO of Healthcare? It's no secret that the American people aren't particulary happy about the way US Healthcare is ran. This is evident by the growing support around the killer, whos identity is yet to be found. People online seem to be celebrating the death of Brian Thompson and rooting for the killers escape. Even vigilante justice groups who work to solve true crime are refusing to touch this case.
Why do you think a large amount of people in America are "celebrating" the death of Brain Thompson?
Who do you think would kill the Ceo of Healthcare? Take a guess.
Do you think the killer will be found or not?

Good topic choice Mason and your summary is good, The issue is you didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 30 points.
I think the reason they might be "celebrating" his death is maybe they disagreed with what he did/said. I feel like the killer would probably be someone jealous of the CEO's successes or accomplishments. I feel the killer will be found because there can be some footage or a witness who saw it.
I believe many people didnt support him and his decisions of the United HealthCare which may be why they "celebrated" his death. They possibly have found the killer based on the news. I think he was killed because the way he ran things was not to the liking of people.
I believe that people may be celebrating his death because of how he was operating the United HealthCare. It was very interesting on how he was running the business and people were also seeing that. I do think it was the man that was captured Luigi since he did have the necessary things on him to be convicted of the murder.
I think that some people are "celebrating" his death because of how he ran United HealthCare. The way that he ran things is controversial, and people don't like seeing wealthy people get away with things. As if right now, the killer is believed to have been found. Even though it is a wild claim because it was a random guy, and just based on his looks he is finding himself locked up.
2.) I think he was killed because the killer didn't like the way he ran things in office. The word "depose" means, to take someone out of office, so the killer must have wanted someone or something new to be in office.
I think that the killer seems to be right out of a Batman movie. He shows up, masked, armed, in broad daylight, and right in front of the cameras with engraved bullets and shooting at point blank. However, the thing about this mystery guy that piques my interest the most out of all the evidence that has come to light, is the fact that he left behind a bag for the police to find with a jacket and monopoly money in it. Iconic.
riddle-me this Batman
what liquid color of rose
from "deny, defend depose",
through contovery and fear,
this thing remains clear,

I think a lot of people probably didn't like how he ran United Healthcare. I don't know how he ran it, but it must've been bad if people were celebrating the fact that he got murdered. I did some research and actually found out that there is a suspect in custody named Luigi Mangione who is thought to have killed Brian Thompson.
I think some Americans are celebrating the death because they don't like the United Healthcare CEO. I feel like the person that would kill him is some that is against the healthcare. I think the person will probably be found since a person can only run away for so long before getting recognized or caught.
