Can someone please tell me when being the CEO of a health insurance company, or a vice president at a major national bank became a crime? Specifically, when did lawmakers vote to criminalize such behavior and make the penalty for such an offense death? Because I've looked around and I can't seem to find any statute that says it's against the law to work for UnitedHealthcare or Bank of America.
Despite that, we've now had two high-profile murders of high-ranking corporate execs in the last 18 months or so. Brian Thompson was shot by Luigi Mangione in December 2024 on a New York street. Mangione and his supporters — including Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Elizabeth Warren — justified the shooting by saying UnitedHealthcare sometimes denies health insurance claims, so violence against a husband and father is justified.
Earlier this week, Erin Piacenti was stabbed by Pamela Cisneros, again on a New York street. Piacenti, 32, wasn't targeted by Cisneros, who was mentally ill. Instead, Piacenti and another victim were randomly targeted.
But that didn't stop a pro-Palestine leftist from equating Cisneros to Mangione and celebrating the death of Piacenti, who had just returned from maternity leave and recently celebrated her second wedding anniversary.

A Palestinian-American filmmaker who directed cult classic “Green Street Hooligans” celebrated the death of young executive and new mom Erin Piacenti by posting a meme about alleged CEO-killer Luigi Mangione.
Lexi Alexander, who was also nominated for an Academy Award in 2003 for a short film she directed, posted an image on social media Tuesday of Batman staring up at a bat signal replaced with Mangione’s face.
The sick meme was shared in response to another post that identified Piacenti, who was killed by a mentally ill woman in Times Square, as a vice president at Bank of America.
And here's a screenshot of Alexander's post:
Others piled on. With the same pro-Palestinian political bent.
Hate to ruin everyone's fun but "vice president at Bank of America " is not the same thing as "vice president of bank of America "

So now it's okay to kill people if leftists don't like their job? That's a scary and interesting new standard. I'm sure in my job I've ticked off some leftists. I routinely hammer them in my articles. My job is literally exposing this sort of dangerous hypocrisy. Undoubtedly, Alexander and Flores would say someone murdering me is justified because of my job.
This is what abusers do. They blame the victim, say the victim made them mad by saying X or doing Y, and that the victim brought the abuse on themselves.
The reality is this: being the CEO of a health insurance company that sometimes denies claims is not a crime. Nor is it a crime to be a vice president at Bank of America. Yet the Left now not only thinks it is a crime to hold a job they don't like — Briahna Joy Gray even said Thompson was guilty of "corporate murder" — but that they are judge, jury, and executioner. This will only get worse as the socialist insurgency continues, too. They cannot brook dissent, and they must eliminate anyone and everyone who threatens their political movement.
But we should totally put these people in charge of everything, including our healthcare. What could possibly go wrong?
