Comedian Bill Burr: Motive for CEO killing is clear

Online support growing for the man suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Although he doesn’t condone the shooting, comedian Bill Burr says the frustrations with the health care industry in general explain the likely motivation here. Is he right? NewsNight panelists discuss. #CNN #News

Bill Burr understands people. The panel doesn't

[Tetus]

The elites have never looked more elitist.

[RedSntDK]

Oh let me just righteously take a CEO to court for the money I don't even have for health care.. What a buffoon.

[tpc]

The public has no respect for life? Insurance company CEOs have no respect for life!

[ToyJesusLovesTequilla]

Bill Burr is right and this panel needs a reality check

[HailinRain]

I’d pay money to watch Bill Burr debate these people live.

[mdillinger]

This woman brought up the movie "The Rainmaker" then tried to argue that the good guys won in the end because the dead kid's mother ultimately won the settlement against the insurance company. Sorry lady, but I think the winning play here would have been for that kid to have gotten the care he needed and never died in the first place.

”There is no respect for life… ” The dude says. That’s exactly why people are pissed

[MrLoobu]

Don't lionize murderers? What does America spend 1 trillion every year on again? Is it healthcare or education?

[ArtisticControl]

"there is no respect for life"... meanwhile the CEO who was responsible for several deaths is unscathed by the panel ...

[Blancox]

Luigi killed one person with a gun.

Brian killed thousands of people with a pen.

[mikeybeteet]

This segment is why CNN is failing. So out of touch it’s laughable

[SaintSoapy]

"You got a problem with the way insurance companies do business there's a lot of righteous ways to handle it within the legal structure"

Like what? These problems have existed for generations. In all likelihood a child that is born today will die under that same insurance scheme that Brian worked so hard to uphold. The same scheme that tells a patient their treatment a doctor recommends as life saving is not "medically necessary". The "legal structure" has denied people justice for generations. Brian would never see a day of jail for killing the people he did. Nobody cares about your "legal structure" if this is what it creates

[chuuwieee]

The fact that he came from a wealthy family and he still felt frustrated with the health care system speaks volumes

Video title "Comedian Bill Burr: Motive for CEO killing is clear"----Panel spends 8 minutes avoiding everything Bill said.

[jayarrington]

Bill Burr wasn't condoning it. He was saying that its no surprise, that it would happen - given the heartlessness of the ruling class.

[ntbeatsbydre]

Funny how corporate media on the left and right are all on the same page 😆

[ironmask]

The elites get nervous when the untouchables get popped in the street.

[jhersk]

If you have a problem with health insurance "there are a lot of righteous ways to handle it." No. No there aren't ANY ways to handle it. You think people go bankrupt because they are too stupid or lazy to try one of the righteous ways?
