"The killing last week of Thompson on a Manhattan street has unleashed an impassioned response on social media, with less sympathy toward the victim than anger toward the industry he represented."
"Mangione was taken into custody... possessing a lengthy manifesto that criticized the health insurance industry, indicating a personal struggle against systemic issues."
"A search for 'Luigi Mangione' on Amazon brings a list of T-shirts, mugs, and tote bags with the phrase 'Free Luigi,' showing a bizarre support for the alleged killer."
"Many online commentators... joked about and even celebrated the killing, prompting additional discussion surrounding the perceived failures of the health insurance system."
