After thousands celebrated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's killing, now even top internet sleuths are not willing to help in investigation; what's the reason?

The social media buzz is comparatively lower than usual times when a major shooting happens in a country like United States, and this time it concerns one of the CEO's of US' biggest Healthcare companies. In fact, some US netizens even took to social media to 'celebrate' the death of Brian Thompson, who was shot in front of a Midtown hotel in New York City, an incident that is still unsolved, with a masked gunman on the loose.

Are people celebrating Brian Thompson's killing?

Although there is widespread panic in the city and its neighboring region, there is not much chatter about calls for justice and finding the shooter. Instead, some are talking about Thompson being one of those responsible for the fragile state of the US Healthcare industry, which is shocking as, during other cases netizens usually post videos, condolences, and much more. Even internet sleuths talk about various kinds of clues that could 'help' in the manhunt. In this case, such videos and internet traffic is also at a minimum, as per reports.

This sparking of online praise for the killing or the killer is shocking in nature, as enabling a gruesome murder is being seen as a threat by those who are horrified at this ghastly incident, as per reports. Meanwhile, Thompson's family has issued statement of regret and stated that he was a loving father to two sons and 'will be greatly missed'.
