A poll found 41% of adults under 30 consider the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson acceptable, more than the 40% in that demographic who consider it unacceptable. Anger over health insurance companies has been in the spotlight after Thompson was fatally shot Dec. 4 in New York City. Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old, was arrested last week in Pennsylvania and faces charges in Thompson’s killing. The survey from Emerson College Polling found 68% of all respondents found the actions of the person who shot and killed Thompson unacceptable. But a startling 24% of those aged 18-29 found it "somewhat acceptable," and 17% of that group found it completely acceptable. Since Thompson was shot, first in the back and then again as he fell to the ground, a number of social media posts from people saying they do not have sympathy for his death have gained popularity.
