    48% of the pop feel it was justified for a random citizen to execute a guy in the street. That isn’t a majority but its more than normal fraction of 1% of the people. Its right up there with how people feel about child rapists.

      41% of youth

      17% of people total

      According to Emerson College Polling.

      I don’t think comparing Luigi Mangione to Child Rapists is helping your case.

        I said the public holds the United Healthcare CEO and child rapists in similar esteem. I did not in fact compare Mangione to a child rapist. I’ve seen other polls that say 48% believe what Mangione did was either entirely or somewhat justified. You can get a LOT of difference based on exactly what you ask.

          See it was hard to infer that because the only person in this situation who committed a crime was Luigi Mangione.

            The only way you could have come to that conclusion is if you read by skipping most of the words.
