My point would also include that one of our major political parties chose to nominate this elephant for three straight presidential elections. I find that far more disturbing than the fact that Luigi Mangione has a fan club. There is crazy and there is crazy. Scale matters.

Yeah a fan club for a murder as opposed to a great president. Makes sense
 
Elizabeth Warren: “Violence is never the answer, but people can be pushed only so far… This is a warning that if you push people hard enough, they lose faith in… government… and start to take matters into their own hands.”

AOC: “All of that pain that people have experienced is being concentrated on this event. It’s really important that we take a step back, this is not to comment and this is not to say that an act of violence is justified, but I think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that people interpret and feel and experience denied claims as an act of violence against them.”

Bernie Sander: Condemned the killing as “outrageous” and “unacceptable,” saying “nobody should applaud it” and “killing people is not the way.” At the same time, he described the public reaction as a reflection of anger at an industry that denies care while profiting hugely, and used it to advocate for systemic reform like Medicare for All.

Ro Khanna: “There is no justification for violence… You condemn the murder of an insurance executive who was a father of two kids. At the same time, you say there’s obviously an outpouring [of anger] of people whose claims are being denied, and we need to reform the system.”
 
A little research into United Health Care
makes one wonder, the number of deaths and depth of pain are the responsibility of said CEO

It really isn't hard to understand
 
Fortunately, those 41% of young people have not come close to maga and the rest of the Republican Party in their ability to influence the politics of this country. Scale matters.

read the above slowly, please.
Agreed , violence is uncalled for. But a dog biting a person is 99 times out of 100 caused by the bitten person.
Advertently or inadvertently.

So, the easy thing is is to condemn the killer (shooting the dog), the hard part is fixing the societal issue of people profiting from causing others pain.
