41% of Voters Aged 18-29 Find UnitedHealthcare CEO Murder ‘Acceptable’
The results for those aged 30-39 weren’t much better!
A new Emerson College poll discovered that 41% of voters aged 18-29 find the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson “acceptable.”
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg charged Luigi Mangione with first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism in Thompson’s death.
Mangione faces numerous other charges, too.
- 17% Completely acceptable
- 24% Somewhat acceptable
19% of them had a neutral opinion on the murder.
What. The. Actual. Heck. Only 33% said completely unacceptable, while 7% said somewhat unacceptable.
Yeah, sure, 68% of the voters believe Thompson’s murder is acceptable, but even that shouldn’t be celebrated.
It should 100% find the murder unacceptable.
Those aged 30-39 didn’t have better results:
- 10% Completely acceptable
- 13% Somewhat acceptable
- 21% Neutral
What is wrong with you people?
Generation X and above resoundingly rejected Thompson’s murder.
Emerson College noted that 22% of Democrats find Thompson’s murder acceptable.
12% of Republicans and 16% of Independents responded acceptable.
Just awful.
The numbers do not surprise me because we’ve seen too many people celebrate Thompson’s murders. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) were like, “Yeah, murder is bad, BUT…”

Good. Pardon the guy that killed George Tiller then.
Yet trespassing on Jan 6 was a capital crime, crazy
fwiw – the wording of poll questions can greatly skew the actual results.
Best example was the poll that found 80+% of republicans supported a ban on the “polution” that cause global warming.
I’ll bet nearly 100% of the 41% is approving of abortion.
Sick people.
Hey, they believe that certain people deserve to die and they number innocent babies among those deserving people. I bet you and I are on their list too.
How many southerners stated opposition to slavery in 1859?
They are not sick they are indoctrinated into extremely disgusting views and beliefs.
My diagnosis?
Caused by a Republican Party that was ready for duty in the big government fight but mia for the culture war.
Trump has shown a great deal of interest in fixing that but yes failure to influence education means loss of generations.
The Republican Party did not CAUSE this problem; it was simply ineffective/absent in fighting it.
They are taught all day by purple-haired Democrats who feed them full of crap about how they will all someday be needed to fight a Glorious Revolution. What do you think happens in revolutions? It ain’t tiddlywinks. These kids are down with all of it. This is what social norms descend to when it’s clear to absolutely everybody that there is no more rule of law.
Would love to see a Venn Diagram of the people who think the shooting was justified and those who are post-religious. I bet the overlap is….significant.
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” – John Adams
Welcome to our post-Christian Republic. Things are gonna get WAY more ugly than targeted acts of violence against CEOs. We’re about to reap what public schools have been sowing for decades. This idiot was raised in a faithful family and expressed many ideas of Christian grace and service as a teen. Then he went to an Ivy League school and became a cold-blooded murderer.
Make the Purge fiction again.
If the grievance is good enough, then the murder can be justifiable? Is that the new standard?
When the biased justice system is no longer worthy of anybody’s trust, the standard changes.
And the connection between the grievance and the murder victim can be symbolic. It appears that most Americans don’t understand why they buy insurance. Health insurance is away to keep covered costs down. It does not actually prevent you from getting treatment not covered by insurance. But if you step outside your insurance’s coverage, you will have to negotiate the price or payment schedule. Hardly a good reason to murder someone.
It won’t be “justifiable” when a hard-working citizen shoots one of the politicians that robbed him of his earnings. It wasn’t “justifiable” when a citizen shot dead a guy that was terrorizing everyone on a subway car – according to the class that rides in limos – but thank God Daniel Penny’s jury disagreed. So it depends on race and social class (that is, parasite or worker).
He looked like he was schizophrenic or had schizophrenia associated disease
He was the right age for that to blossom, probably started earlier but…
Street drugs unmasked it… classic acceleration.
Hey, it wasn’t really “murder” murder, it was just retroactive abortion. As long as it’s under the rubric of “reproductive rights,” it’s all good.
“Women’s Health”
Meh … give them a break. Most of them have no idea what “acceptable” or “unacceptable” actually mean.
So if we were single payer or government national health it would be OK to kill government officials?
Damn it, don’t start tempting me with the idea of supporting National highest Healthcare
They don’t want to apply this standard to the VA.
Unsurprising, did anyone actually expect the Communists to have morals?
Boomer generation members need to buckle up, these age cohorts younger than gen X absolutely despise y’all. When SSA reform comes up again and even if Trump declines to touch it will come up or there’s gonna be a roughly 25% benefit cut in a decade so get ready. Start saving up now to cover the coming reduction b/c these younger age cohorts ain’t interested in increasing their taxes to fund your SSA benefits which they don’t believe they will ever see for themselves.
Well, SS is nothing but a government-mandated Ponzi scheme that never should have been in the first place.
Everything looked so good as long as interest rates were high! SS did something else, too. It loosened family and community ties, and lead to this pathetic generation that looks to a faceless government bureaucracy for succor and security.
Higher interest rates will make the federal deficit even more untenable. We paid about $1.2 Trillion in interest to.service the federal debt; more than we.spend on all of the DoD budget out of about $6.2 Trillion in FY’24 expenditures. That’s with revenue of about $4.4 Trillion which means just interest cost at our current historically low rates are over 25% of federal revenue.
100% agree about the perverse impact of SSA in creating an expectation that ‘the gov’t’ would take care of older generations. Breaking the bond between family generations was a bad idea and the chickens are coming home. In fairness the Silent gen and Boomer gen neither of which paid current SSI rates their entire working lives got a way too good deal from SSA. Gen X and younger know we gonna get shafted but we.ain’t willing to get shafted any harder by increased SSI taxes without older generations accepting some reduction.
How many of this young cohort have life and experiences beyond what they see on their phones?
If their social media peer group seems to favor murder, they will of course approve it as well. Our young folks are the most obedient demographic ever.
And not taking this “polling” very seriously; wonder what the same polling questions would have revealed if Trump was the prospective victim, instead of the CEO.
Mangione wasn’t customer of UHC. He never paid money to UHC. He wasn’t denied claims by UHC.
And he got the scoliosis operation it needed. Maybe it didn’t work, but that’s not because of how the operation was paid for.
Where did the edit button go?
I’ll be honest. I’m in the midst of a very evil and corrupt corporate culture. The kind of stupidity and greed that has gotten people killed. Even with massive government intervention, fines etc (I won’t go into specifics because I can’t speak of these things publicly) there is no change except for lip service. I am in true whistle blower corporate fraud territory.
The leaders speak with the same kind of lies that the commies used during the cold war. The stock is now rising, but it’s all a lie and not based on actual innovation, but rather once again fooling wall street into thinking “one easy -low IQ- move” is real transformation.
I live this stupidity every day. I see it happen w/out consequences. I see the retaliation against those who get in the way.
So I’m not as quick to condemn his actions as I might have been. Don’t think the law of jungle is something that only anarchists live by…. the C levels live by those same rules and I’m not as certain that this guy didn’t get called on it.
Remember- we are less than a year from a whistle blower showing up dead in this country.
