They really are spending a lot of resources on this guy that they wouldn't spend if the victim was poor.

I hope they never find him.

Reminder that there are TENS OF THOUSANDS of petitions for police to reopen cold cases of missing and murdered people from their families because the police did fuck all to investigate the first time before closing the case as unsolved, all of which are being ignored. A disproportionate number of which involve Indigenous victims, and it is well documented that killers tend to prefer Indigenous victims because they know that they're not considered worth the trouble in the eyes of the law.

"All of us at Centene are deeply saddened by Brian Thompson's death and want to express our support for all of those affected. Health insurance is a big industry and a small community; many members of the CenTeam crossed paths with Brian during their careers," said Centene Chief Executive Officer, Sarah M. London. "He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care. Our hearts are with his family and his colleagues during this difficult time."

Was he really? I find that extremely hard to believe.

I mean, it's literally a fellow health insurance CEO saying that about him.

I'm sure Benito Mussolini would have claimed that Adolf Hitler was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care as well.

I haven't seen any actual stories or quotes about this guy that he's an upstanding member of any community. It's all just professional praise and vague platitudes like "he was a generous man"
