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.
Is it because I suck at English (non-native speaker) or are they straight up blaming people for not empathizing with that (former) waste of oxygen?
That’s the implication.
No, no, you got it right, waste of oxygen is right.
Correct. Who they blame is hilariously irrelevant.
Yes, but also going a bit further and suggesting that lack of empathy is primarily because he was a rich person rather than the untold hardships he’s inflicted on countless families
Why can’t it be both?
Its absolutely worse that he did all his awful shit for the sake of money.
Yep. An evil person doing evil things is expected. If he was a good person (not implying he is) then he can recognize that he was doing evil and chose to do so to benefit himself. That’s worse.
