Speculation about a potential motive in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has focused on the suspect's possible anti-capitalist sentiment.
ALTOONA, Pa. — While UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's alleged killer's motive has not been released by officials, the public has been speculating that the suspect had strong grievances with both the health care industry and capitalism in general.
He added his belief that the anger regarding the health care industry that has surfaced from Thompson's murder is misplaced. 'These health care insurance industry people have severe problems with how they operate. But you don't settle things by shooting people in the back.
Even a professor at Mangione's alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, took to TikTok and Instagram to voice praise for the suspect that she has since retracted. UPenn School of Arts and Sciences Deputy Dean Jeffrey Kallberg issued a statement on Wednesday regarding the post from UPenn Assistant English Professor Julia Alekseyeva. 'Much concern was raised by recent social media posts attributed to Assistant Professor Julia Alekseyeva,' Kallberg said.
