Emerson: 41% of Americans under 30 years old think that Luigi Mangione’s assassination of United Healthcare’s CEO was acceptable. 19% of under 30s were neutral, only 40% think negatively of the action
IDK, none of those people would say they found it "completely unacceptable" though. It seems worrying to me that the number of people who find it completely unacceptable outnumber those who find it even somewhat acceptable in every demographic except under 30s.
Some might've tbh. I think the older responders are more likely to think they're supposed to say "bad" too.
Any which way, I'm impressed to see this level of support for a CEO getting assassinated in the streets coming from most housebroken population on earth, especially after weeks of the media doing its best to scold people into thinking it's bad.
In person I’ve openly stated that Luigi is cool and everyone has said that while they agree they tell others he was the villain. They’re afraid of rubbing people the wrong way
