‘Wanted’ posters targeting health care executives were seen on the corner of Canal Street and Centre Street in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday, December 10.TikTok user @tammyyyeee captured this video while visiting New York. The posters were spotted nearly a week after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot while walking to a meeting in Midtown Manhattan on December 4.The posters display the names of several health care CEOs, including Thompson, whose photo has a large red X through it. The names and photos of Heather Cianfrocco, CEO of OptumHealth, and Andrew Witty, CEO of UnitedHealth Group, can also be seen.In addition to the names and photos, the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” were written - words that were found on bullet casings left at the crime scene.Several paragraphs can also be seen which read, in part: “UnitedHealthcare denied more medical claims than any other health care company, killing everyday people for the sake of profit. As a result, Brian Thompson was denied his claim to life. Who will be denied next?”An ominous note was written near the bottom of the poster that read: “Health care CEOs should not feel safe.”According to ABC News, the New York Police Department issued a bulletin on Tuesday, emphasizing the “heightened risk environment for health care executives” following Thompson’s killing.Authorities on December 9 charged 26-year-old Luigi Mangione with murder over the fatal shooting of Thompson.

‘No Good Deed’: Lisa Kudrow’s New Show Is Shockingly Unfunny
All the rocking musical cues in the world can’t save No Good Deed from its own humorless wackiness. Liz Feldman’s follow-up to Dead to Me is an ensemble effort that believes it’s a dark comedy because it’s about sinister secrets and lies and features lots of ostensibly funny people acting frazzled and freaked-out. Yet good luck finding anything enthralling, suspenseful or amusing about its intricate tale, as this eight-episode Netflix series, premiering Dec. 12, merely piles a raft of implausibl
