Summary
Internet sleuths, who often assist in high-profile investigations, are notably silent on the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Popular figures like TizzyEnt and Savannah Sparks cited disinterest, with some expressing disdain for the U.S. healthcare system, which has faced heightened criticism amid record-low public satisfaction.
Many online users appear apathetic, failing to empathize with the wealthy victim.
The lack of engagement contrasts with past cases like Gabby Petito’s, where online communities played key roles. Meanwhile, the NYPD continues its investigation, releasing surveillance footage and offering a $10,000 reward for tips.
Why don’t you condone it? Justice is good, right? Do you believe justice would be done through the justice system, which the ultra-wealthy have perverted to protect them? If not, how do you want justice to be served?
The justice system exists to give people a method to see justice done that doesn’t require vigilantism. When that system no longer works, what option is left to turn to? Should we just let them get away with whatever they want just because they’ve purchased the system?
