There are thirst tweets:
There are fan pages:
It’s a whole thing.
In response to all of this, Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania made a statement about all of the online attention Mangione is receiving:

“Some attention in this case, especially online, has been deeply disturbing, as some have looked to celebrate instead of condemning this killer,” he said. “Brian Thompson was a father of two, he was a husband, and he was a friend to many. And yes, he was the CEO of a healthcare company.”
“In America, we do not kill people in cold blood to resolve policy differences or express a viewpoint. I understand people have real frustration with our healthcare system, and I have worked to address that throughout my career,” he continued. “I have no tolerance, nor should anyone, for one man using an illegal ghost gun to murder someone because he thinks his opinions matter most.”
“In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero. Hear me on this: He is no hero. The real hero in this story is the person who called 911 at McDonald’s this morning.”
You can watch his whole statement here.
People have a lot of thoughts about his comments.
A bunch of people agree with Gov. Shapiro’s statement.
“One of the more succinct and essential statements of the American value system I’ve yet come across,” this person chimed in.

And then there are many, many people making the same comments about the United States.
“killing people in cold blood to resolve policy is precisely how america was founded, actually lol,” one extremely viral post said.
“lol we send 18 year olds across the world with machine guns to kill people to resolve policy differences,” another person commented.
And then a bunch of people simply shared footage of Gov. Shapiro signing bombs in Ukraine:
Anyway, where do you stand?
