The fatal shooting of Brian Thompson, the CEO of America’s largest health insurer, in Manhattan last week sent chills through US boardrooms. The suspect charged with the UnitedHealthcare executive’s murder on Monday was found with a handwritten manifesto outlining “some ill will towards corporate America”, according to officials. After an election campaign marred by two assassination attempts on Donald Trump, the killing marks yet another example of how individuals are acting out their frustrations through violence, this time against a business figure.
上周，美国最大医疗保险公司首席执行官布莱恩•汤普森(Brian Thompson)在曼哈顿遭枪击身亡，这让美国的董事会感到不寒而栗。据美国官员称，周一被指控谋杀联合健康(UnitedHealthcare)高管的嫌疑人被发现手写了一份宣言，其中概述了“对美国公司的一些恨意”。在唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)遭遇两次未遂暗杀之后，这起谋杀案再次表明，一些个人正在通过暴力来发泄他们的不满情绪，而这一次的目标是商界人士。
