The manhunt for the killer of the UnitedHealthcare CEO is encountering an unexpected roadblock: widespread public sympathy for the gunman. The initial shock at the brazen shooting, captured on widely circulated video, has given way to a complex public reaction that goes beyond simple support for the act of violence.
