Description

In the weeks since United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down on the street in Manhattan, the public’s reaction has become a major part of the story.

 

While some condemn the killing of an innocent man, many are publicly celebrating the shooter’s act of violence.

 

Why are so many Americans unfazed by the targeted killing of a CEO?

 

Host David Smith speaks with Ali Breland, staff writer for The Atlantic, who has been writing about the public’s treatment of alleged killer Luigi Mangione.
