How could 41 percent of Americans support—or at least not condemn—the cold-blooded murder of Brian Thompson? When Luigi Mangione gunned down the UnitedHealthcare CEO in broad daylight this December, the response was chilling. Young Americans, in particular, celebrated. Among voters aged 18-29, a staggering 67 percent were either ambivalent about or supportive of the assassination. The killer became a social media celebrity, his face projected at concerts, his image plastered on merchandise.
The question haunts us: How could so many Americans cheer the execution of an innocent man?
