UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting. [View all]

It's amazing how much hate there was for that guy. My first reaction was that because he was being accused of insider trading, that someone involved in that crime had him taken out.

But as the day progressed, I was gobsmacked (always wanted to use that word), by the amount of hate and "oh well" our country had for him—as I sifted through social media posts.

Weird day.
