    Will they though? Mangione is behind bars, the media has largely sided with the CEO, and other insurance CEOs are probably getting police protection.

    People sided with Luigi, and it showed that health insurance CEOs can be shot and killed relatively easily, and that it works in sending a message.

    The police protection won’t save anyone, but it will remind both them and the masses that this is something that can happen.

      Some people did, but not everyone. We get the side from leftists here on Lemmy and other social media platforms that cater to young people on the left, but that’s a niche within a niche.

      Here are some stats from the Miami herald (media bias says center-left w/ high factual reporting):

      In a Center for Strategic Politics poll, 61% of respondents said they have a strong or somewhat negative perception of Mangione, while just 18% said they have a strong or somewhat positive perception.

      This was on Dec. 13, just days after the murder.

      It certainly sent a message, but that message was different for different audiences.
