What happens when a CEO becomes the face of a broken system? The shocking murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of Manhattan has ignited a storm of public reactions—many of them disturbingly celebratory. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dives into the strange and unsettling social dynamics surrounding Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused in this case.
Why are some people idolizing an alleged killer, and what does it say about our collective frustrations with healthcare, capitalism, and justice? From social media glorification to the bizarre sale of Mangione-inspired merchandise, we explore the dangerous line between protest and hero worship. Could this type of idolization lead to copycat crimes, or does it reveal something deeper about our society’s wounds?
Would you wear the jacket of a man accused of murder?
