Dear White People...why do you celebrate murder 🤔 💔

Every year I have at least one dear White people post. Here is the 2024 version. ☺ Ok so let me get this straight. You had both incidents in New York City that took place there and received massive coverage on the news. The Daniel Penny Case.
And the Assassination of CEO Brain Thompson.
One victim is a Black man named Jordan Neely. The other is a White male CEO of United Health Care.. Two different races..two different men. Now why on Earth would you attack a man who is smaller than you...has a mental illness..and is homeless. Number two, why would kill a man, who is rich and wealthy, and runs a business that helps people. I see people celebrating on social media. both of these mens deaths. Why . Is it cultural pride, racial pride, classism. . This is great right. Let the elites who run the mainstream media sit back with a cigar and a glass of wine, while we sit here destroying each other..for nothing. The world is looking at us like we are stupid. You're making it way too easy for our nation to be destroyed over politics. Does anyone or anybody out there understand what I am trying to say here today. . Somebody make it make sense. Comments. 🤔🇺🇸

the blame in the Neely case belongs in the system not the good Samaritan who stepped in to save people. multiple convictions, mental health issues, drug problems, Neely should have been off the streets getting the help he needed . place the blame where it rightfully belongs

Is there video anywhere of the alleged threats many by Neely to the subway passengers? Isn’t seeing that the best starting context for the whole things? Were the alleged threats real or were they the ranting of someone mentally ill? How can any possible response be judged without knowing to exactly what the response was made? If there is no video at least eye witness testimony of that must be the starting point.

@Zonuss uh yeah they were! The other passengers that he threatened
I am all for helping the homeless. i think if we ended the homeless situation correctly, it would change our entire world.

However, the homeless man in question had already been arrested more than once for assaulting people on the subway. He was ranting and raving about hurting and killing. So i don't really think the man who killed him should get any time at all. and i don't care how long he was in the Marines.

@sylvsn59 Of course. Why wouldn't I. You can't just assume Black people would celebrate a person being killed for nothing. No that's not how it works Einstein.☺
@JustScott agreed

Number two, why would kill a man, who is rich and wealthy, and ***runs a business that helps people.***

... runs a business that prioritizes making profit for shareholders at the expense of the health and wellness of patients, regardless of what their physicians have directed.

Hmmh. It's a mystery. 🤔🙄



Such a mystery why someone with chronic pain, possibly to to point of suicidal thoughts, who like hundred of thousand before them was at some point in their recovery process dismissed from being granted sustaining access to the needed lifelong care necessary to maintain a comfortable quality of life, would take such drastic actions.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@Starcrossed Stil doesn't make it right. If that was the case people wouldn't have voted for Donald Trump. Please. ☺
Killing the homeless and the mentally ill is something I am very outspoken against. That case is horrific.

But I also have no sympathy for a rich guy being murdered when his job would be considered a criminal enterprise in my country.

So to me the CEO of UHC getting offed is like reading about a mafia don getting whacked.

Interesting take on the matter in your last paragraph. 🤔

If someone threatens your life and you feared for life or others that the threat was directed at in my state you can use deadly force.


I guess you would be a statistic on people who were malicious attacked or killed by a mentally ill person on the train ways. There were numerous attacks and stabbing by mentally ill people on those trains.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@specman Jordan Neely attacked noone. He was unarmed.
specman · 51-55, M
@Zonuss he has in the past. When someone threatens peoples lives and says someone is going to die is enough

Well, whether we like it or not, or whether we accept it or not, the Neely Case was tried before a jury of the accused's peers, and was found not guilty of the charges against him.

In the other situation, we have one American citizen tasking the law into his own hands, and passing judgment on a fellow American citizen and implementing the death penalty without a fair day in court, nor a chance to defend himself in front of a jury of his peers.

Personally I don’t ever celebrate the death of another human being; that said, I strongly disagree with the characterization of United Healthcare as a “business that helps people.” It is an organization within a perverse health insurance system that profits enormously by denying patients the medical care that they need. They only grudgingly “help people” when the law forces them to do so.
JPWhoo · 36-40, M
@Zonuss Fast food is not poison, it’s how you use it that’s good or bad; furthermore, fast food is something people choose to eat, not something that they need and are being denied.

And sure, let’s talk about factories and pollution, why not.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@JPWhoo Fast food is poison. I worked in the industry for years. And no its not what you think it is. 🙄
JPWhoo · 36-40, M
@Zonuss If what you say is true, then that means the FDA isn’t doing its job. If there really is absolutely no nutritional value in any circumstance, then it should be banned.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Regarding Thompson people in roles such as his aren’t popularly elected they are appointed by shareholder representatives who know what the policies of a perspective CEO will be. If Thompson was a known bad faith denier of legitimate claims then for sure all the people beginning with shareholders through the board of directors are totally responsible and subject to criticism. What are the facts here? United Healthcare in the largest Medigap Insurer in the country.

Not at all. It’s a question regarding any company. Is it guided by good faith or not? Same applies to people. For example I’m pretty sure your heart is in the right place based on what I have read here. @jackjjackson
Nightwings · 31-35, F
Maybe you should name this "Dear Americans" instead of "Dear White People", because there are many white people in the world who have no idea who those people are, or what this is even about.... 😅
TurtlePink · 22-25, F
@Nightwings He’s talking about white Americans. If you’re white and you don’t speak English, you’re more than likely from a different country
Nightwings · 31-35, F
@TurtlePink Exactly, hence why I said he should maybe address this to Americans instead of all white people. 😃
Nightwings · 31-35, F
@Zonuss I don't care enough to google it, this was just your occasional reminder that America isn't the whole world. 😆

@jackjjackson @jackjjackson and to you too
Why do we have to be called "White" ? Couldn't we be called alternative colored skinned.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
The people of many letters don’t approve of that. @KungFuVixen
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@KungFuVixen No. ☺

TurtlePink · 22-25, F
I totally understand what you’re trying to say, and I myself have wondered why they celebrate killings
Fairydust · F
But you do know the divide isn’t real? They make us believe their is a divide and we fight each other…

It’s a made up fairtale.

Racism is an agenda and fake.
Fairydust · F
@Zonuss yeah I agree! Racism only exists because they made it a thing.

Many are blinded to the truth, I’ll never understand that.
I’m glad I can see through it all.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@Fairydust Racism is about bloodlines and inheritance. This is deeply spiritual. Deeper than most people can fathom.
Fairydust · F
@Zonuss yeah but the elites created the divide on purpose also.
GerOttman · 61-69, M
Why do you think this an issues related or limited to so called "white" people? There's lots and lots of multi-ethnic celebration of all kinds of terrible stuff. Stop playing the blame game and get aboard the unity train!
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@GerOttman Yawns.
GerOttman · 61-69, M
@Zonuss Awww... Who's just the cutest little tough guy??

So scary...


Longpatrol · 31-35, M
Brian Thompson is one of those elites. Good riddace. The CEO of United Healthcare also released a braindead devoid-of-empathy message that salted the wounds a lot of ordinary people have. The ivory tower mfers need to learn fear.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@Longpatrol Says who 🙄
Justenjoyit · 61-69, M

I thought the US was bad for killings.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@Justenjoyit What. 🙄
Justenjoyit · 61-69, M
@Zonuss The man should have received a man slaughter sentence, but we live in different times where people want to kill others, if you deter people like Daniel Penny and the threat is real, lots of people might die because people are scared to react in fear of repercussions.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@Justenjoyit Nobody should do anything unless another individual is actually being attacked. That's how smart people react. ☺

@TurtlePink Or you could just be minding your own business like the Black dude who was walking through that White neighborhood in Florida. It's a sense of entitlement going on here and blatant racism being displayed in very disturbing ways lately. And yes some of it is because of the message and influence coming from Donald Trump'. 🤔

@HobNoblin What makes you think either person deserves this. You don't even know Brian Thompson.
Just because he was a wealthy man that doesn't mean he was evil. 🙄
HobNoblin · 36-40, M
@Zonuss Thompson's company committed egregious acts against employees and the public. Neely, honestly I'm not sure if you're just bullshiting me with that or not. Obviously he had it comming decades back.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@HobNoblin All big corporations have some level of corruption.
And just to think that this guy grabbed a hash brown for breakfast at McDonald's shows pure hypocrisy.😂
