Brian Thompson’s murder highlights a critical flaw in the American system: the lack of lawful avenues to address societal grievances, potentially leading to increased violence. While the killing itself is tragic, the widespread online response, ranging from apathy to celebration, reveals a deep-seated public anger towards the healthcare industry and its perceived injustices. This reaction suggests a troubling erosion of empathy and a societal normalization of violence as a means of protest.
