The only place where we have seen any evidence of support for the cold-blooded and premeditated execution of Brian Thompson is on social media and liberal cable news channels.
Call me a hopeless optimist if you will, but I do not believe for one second that any significant portion of the American people see Luigi Mangioni’s alleged brutal murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson as anything but an unalloyed and tragic act of evil. No, I don’t live in a cave. I have seen the TikTok videos of women smitten by the suspected killer’s rugged good looks and rippling six-pack. I saw media reporter Taylor Lorenz say she felt 'joy' over the murder.
But then what happened? Vox Media, not exactly a hotbed of conservatism, ended its relationship with Lorenz after her horrible comments, and Professor Alekseyeva is scrambling to do damage control with social media apologies, calling her remarks 'insensitive and inappropriate.
Brian Thompson didn't get any such chance, he was shot in the back by a coward who hunted him, and now his two young kids won’t have a chance to grow up with their dad. Not every single thing that happens in our society has to be turned into some Rorschach test pitting left against right, even if there are clicks to gain and money to make by doing so.
And these kinds of hyperbolic media reactions to high-profile murders are nothing new. In 1881, after Charles Guiteau assassinated President James Garfield, he sat in a Washington jail giddy and convinced that Garfield’s political foes would be swept into power and have him released and feted. The newspapers even wrote stories about it. It was good copy. But, of course, that was a ridiculous fantasy, as Guiteau would learn a year later at the end of a hangman’s noose.
