The assumptions surrounding the killing of a healthcare executive are something else to grieve.
Bullets lie on the sidewalk at the scene outside the Hilton Hotel in midtown Manhattan where Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot, Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024, in New York.
That is not an excuse for the alleged actions of Luigi Mangione, the Maryland native who was arrested in an Altoona, Pennsylvania, McDonald’s and charged with the killing. But it is an explanation for how quickly Thompson’s shooter was viewed by some as an avenger of the little people.
That cynicism breeds the belief that salvation will come only through some real-life superhero, a conspiracy-fueling guru or a self-appointed vigilante. The system won’t save us because the system is what’s trying to do us in.
