Hunt for murderer of CEO Brian Thompson: suspect enjoys popular sympathy
Killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO divides public opinion: killer enjoys special ‘protection’, fuelled by sentiments against big insurance companies
The hunt for the mysterious killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has turned into a unique case. The man, who is accused of murdering Thompson in New York, has escaped the city’s capillary surveillance. But what is surprising is the sympathy the killer arouses, especially on social media.
The engraving ‘deny, defend, depose’ on the shell casings – a reference to alleged insurance company tactics to deny treatment – has fuelled the anti-corporate narrative. Comments in favour of the fugitive were rampant on social media, along with ironic initiatives such as the ‘look-alike contest’ organised in Washington Square.
The police complain of a lack of help, even from ‘online sleuths’ – influencers specialising in virtual investigations. For many, the case reflects a deep-seated discontent with big corporations, which polarises public opinion.
