Why are so many people turning up to support alleged killer Luigi Mangione?⁠ ⁠ It might be tied what has been called "assassination culture," which may be stemming from social media, where violent thoughts can be shared and amplified online.⁠ ⁠ "Assassination culture" is the growing acceptance of violent rhetoric where crimes are celebrated or seen as justified. Perpetrators can be viewed as heroes for ideological reasons or symbols of a broader cause. Whether it's the killing of someone over their political views or violence towards the CEO of a polarizing company, society is becoming more comfortable expressing support for hostility and aggression.⁠ ⁠ #luigimangione #thecase #murder #truecrime #nbc4ny
