A poll found 41 percent of adults under 30 consider the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson acceptable, more than the 40 percent in that demographic who consider it unacceptable.

The survey from Emerson College Polling found 68 percent of all respondents found the actions of the person who shot and killed Thompson unacceptable.
But a startling 24 percent of those aged 18-29 found it “somewhat acceptable,” and 17 percent of that group found it completely acceptable.

Spencer Kimball, the executive director of Emerson College Polling, said 22 percent of Democrats said they found the killing acceptable, compared to 16 percent of independents and 12 percent of Republicans. He said the overall findings underscored “shifting societal attitudes among the youngest electorate and within party lines.”

I don't know that "acceptable" would be the right word. Maybe "understandable."
I neither think how insurance companies choose who gets what care - resulting in death is acceptable, nor do I think killing for the lack of doled out benefit is acceptable. I do think the latter is understandable.
Not a "young" voter.


The feelings are mutual for us as it is
for them! They don't care n we don't
either

The .01 percent can only hammer
people so long before they get the
Mary Antoinette trearment.

Really sad to hear but I have warned repeatedly that the current political, judicial and economic landscape makes vigilantes popular.
Fix the corruption in high places or you beg for another French Revolution.

Yea, clean out the Weasels that are
ripping us off CEO'S AND CROOKED
POLITICIANS LIKE THE CRIMINAL
THAT JUST GOT ELECTED
