Sick: Head of ‘Comrade Workwear’ Announces ‘Most Wanted CEOs’ Playing Cards Following Murder of UnitedHeathcare CEO
December 17, 2024
Following the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, attempts to turn a cold-blooded killer into a folk hero have been unsettling.
Authorities identified Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old former Ivy League student, as the person responsible for the fatal shooting. After a days-long manhunt, Mangione was arrested in a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
Those seeming to justify the murder include Senator Warren (D-MA). Warren told MSNBC’s Joy Reid that murdering Thompson was wrong but also served as a “warning” of sorts that “you can only push people so far.”
Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT) tried to defend Warren’s shameful comments saying, “Shooting somebody in the back is totally unacceptable. But what I think has happened in the last few months is that what you have seen is people’s anger at a health insurance industry which denies people the health care they desperately need while they make billions of dollars.”
Hundreds of Mangione’s twisted supporters have raised money for his defense on a crowdfunding site, and others have sent money to his commissary account in prison.
Now, James Harr, the founder of a “socialist apparel” brand, Comrade Workwear, announced plans to sell a deck of cards featuring 52 “most wanted CEOs.”
He said it was inspired by the “most-wanted Iraqi” playing card decks famously distributed to US and coalition forces during the 2003 invasion of Iraq to help identify key targets in Saddam Hussein’s circle.
That deck helped soldiers “find and do what they needed to do” to those depicted, said Harr, whose social accounts are loaded with anti-capitalism posts and images including one reading “the CEO must die.”
He then blithely rattles off numerous A-list CEOs — whom The Post is choosing not to name — to be included in the deck, asking his combined 109,000 followers between Instagram and TikTok to help come up with more.
The comment thread below the Instagram post was flooded with praise from followers, who threw out scores of suggestions for other potential targets to feature in the deck, with many pledging to buy it as soon as it’s available for purchase.
Harr shared on TikTik, “Did you know in 2003, the US military, a defense agency, created a ‘Most Wanted’ Iraqi Playing Card set? They made it so they could help troops identify the most wanted members of people in Saddam Hussein’s cabinet, military, government, everything like that. Helped them find and do what they needed to do.”
“They looked like this. They had pictures of them and their name and what party, what they do, things like that. But a follower, shout out JDL, reached out and said, ‘We should do this for CEOs.’”
“Imagine, we got Sam Altman and Zuck and Bezo, a little Peter Thiel action, maybe the CEO of Northrup Grumman, the entire Walton family.”
“So yes, I’m actively making this playing card set, 52 CEOs.”
” I have a list, but if anyone has someone exceptional they they want to toss the name in the ring, let me know. I am making that this weekend. I might push a little bit, but it’s going to be up for pre-order in the next couple of days. So look out and help me.:
