‘Luigism’ — meet the online ghouls who celebrate murder

A week after United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down and left bleeding on a Manhattan sidewalk last December 4, Axios ran a poll asking 1,000 registered voters a question that, just a few years ago, would have been unthinkable: Was the killing “justifiable” or at least “somewhat justifiable”?

Seventeen percent said yes.

So 17 percent of Americans thought it was okay — or at least somewhat okay — to shoot an unarmed man in the back because he ran a major corporation.
