The murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City took social media by a storm after authorities apprehended the suspected shooter Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old former ivy league student. The case has sparked debate over wealth, class differences and crime, and young voters have decisively taken a side in the conversation.
U.S. voters between the ages of 18 and 29 were more likely than their elders to accept Thompson's killing, with 41% saying the murder was "acceptable" or "somewhat acceptable."
