It will be interesting to find out why he specifically targeted Johnson and how did he know where he'd be.

I had a feeling this would all turn out to be weird af and it is.

Sadly, our news media will sweep any complaints against for profit health insurance under the rug tenderfoot Dec 9 #19

I've already seen a report on MSM (can't remember where) about the problem of denial of claims. nt LAS14 Dec 9 #38

He probably won't succeed. I suspect the judge will run a tight trial and block attempts to turn it into a circus. onenote Dec 9 #28

Here's a link to a bsky account that screenshot his tweets tenderfoot Dec 9 #21

Yup, looks like there will be an insanity plea. nt SunSeeker Dec 9 #22

Here's his goodreads profile... tenderfoot Dec 9 #24

He may be disturbed, but his 4-page indictment of United Healthcare is a story a lot of us can relate to. SunSeeker Dec 10 #53

I read that's fake. LeftInTX Dec 10 #54

It has been corroborated he had spinal surgery following a surfing accident. SunSeeker Dec 10 #57

The post was pulled from Websleuths as fake. It was probably posted after he was arrested. LeftInTX Dec 10 #58

I'm citing CNN, not Websleuths nor Youtube. He did have recent back surgery. That's been confirmed. SunSeeker Dec 10 #60

Yes, he had spinal surgery. I don't see a link from CNN. I see an unsourced screenshot. LeftInTX Dec 10 #61

I get that. My point is he definitely had back surgery, and that seemed to start his spiral. SunSeeker Dec 10 #62

The four page screenshot is considered to be fake. It was removed by Substack for being fake. LeftInTX Dec 10 #63

So in the (confirmed as real) 3-page letter, he does criticize United Healthcare. SunSeeker Dec 10 #64

Maybe being in pain, he spent more time online and got hyper focused. LeftInTX Dec 10 #65

I would reserve judgment a bit NJCher Dec 9 #34

I follow the person that posted screenshots and am not concerned with those that responded. tenderfoot Dec 9 #48
