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?

      Ironically, he wasn’t even the most paid among other healthcare CEOs.

      I don’t feel sorry for him, as making money on misfortune of others is very low.

      Though there are even worse people, and not necessarily in insurance industry.

      The serial impregnator of everything that moves now is interested to influence our government to cut “unnecessary” spending, which likely will hurt much more people.

          It was the standard “terrible tragedy” blah blah “thoughts and prayers”.

          The actual message we saw was from Trump Jr “Internet do your thing, let’s find this guy”.

          The new president elect so far nominated 14 billionaires in his cabinet (do you think they are there to improve our lives?) yet OP tries to imply that Democrats are pro oligarchs, as we are about to have oligarchs ruling is from the “anti-establishment” president.

          Want to fight injustice, maybe start with those.
