Summary

Internet sleuths, who often assist in high-profile investigations, are notably silent on the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Popular figures like TizzyEnt and Savannah Sparks cited disinterest, with some expressing disdain for the U.S. healthcare system, which has faced heightened criticism amid record-low public satisfaction.

Many online users appear apathetic, failing to empathize with the wealthy victim.

The lack of engagement contrasts with past cases like Gabby Petito’s, where online communities played key roles. Meanwhile, the NYPD continues its investigation, releasing surveillance footage and offering a $10,000 reward for tips.

    Yup and I wish more people would connect the dots on how much pain, suffering, and mass murder every top American company commits on a daily basis.

    Indirect violence is the number one problem in capitalism. Remember all the train derailments or Boeing planes dropping out of the sky? Those failures were by design to increase profits. If our politicians and “justice system” isn’t going to hold the people who make decisions and those decisions harm people, accountable. Vigilante justice is going to be on the rise.

    Mark my word. Every Fortune 500 company leadership needs to be put on notice. America has given up on political means to make meaningful positive change. And with Trump, there is no safety net (what little there was remaining) and the wealthy are going to be killed at an alarming rate. We’re near rock bottom and Trump and conservatives is scrabbling to cash out as fast as possible.
