"Assassinated" implies more station than is a CEO's due. This was just another criminal getting capped in the streets by someone he pissed off and should be investigated as rigorously as when it involves less wealthy gangsters.

"Assassination" is actually more appropriate because the term implies that there are political reasons for the killing and to suggest that our health insurance industry is not politicised would be laughable.

I disagree, we know how violent These People are. The ~~victim~~ decedent was probably got "iced" by one of the "homies" of someone he pissed off, most likely over crack rock, marihuana, or other hard drugs. This is what happens when father figures aren't in the picture.

I call your assassination and raise you a "gang violence"

Probably CEO on CEO violence.

They're not sending their best.

They're all out - supply chain problems.

I heard they found crack cocaine sprinkled on the body

The CEO was obviously resisting a citizens arrest. Didn't everyone see the CEO lunge right at the good samaritan and reach for something in his pocket?

The good samaritan clearly feared for his life when he opened fire. Just like all those cops who shoot people during encounters. Right?

Extra-judicial execution for his crimes.

And now they’ve caught the guy. God bless him. Seriously.

I hope the jury isn’t made up of rich folks. I hope a hung jury frees him.
