Resentment toward the health insurance industry in the U.S. hit a breaking point after Thompson was fatally shot in New York City on December 4. While many Americans reacted with horror to the brutal shooting, others responded with indifference or callousness, citing their negative experiences with health insurance companies.While prosecutors are charging Mangione with multiple murder charges, including killing as an act of terrorism, according to Forbes, social media reaction has shown a nation with very depraved people in it. Putting the social media reactions aside for the moment, because those are from people of a variety of ages, we note a new Emerson College poll that found "41% of people between the ages of 18 and 29 found the shooting to either be "somewhat" or "completely" acceptable, a percentage that is far greater than any other age group." Via Newsweek:
Twenty-three percent of those in their 30s believe the shooting was acceptable, while 13 percent of those in their 40s found it acceptable. At 8 percent, those in their 50s were least likely to say it was acceptable. Only 10 percent of those in their 60s and 70s said it was acceptable.
It isn't known why he allegedly targeted Thompson, but a manifesto found when he was arrested at a McDonald's, which was published by independent journalist Ken Klippenstein, expressed disdain toward the health insurance industry.The manifesto, which has been confirmed as authentic, makes a mockery of the claim quoted above where it says "It isn't known why he allegedly targeted Thompson," when the manifesto, shown below, clearly states his motive.
