Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said younger voters diverge from the majority on several issues, including Thompson's murder..

Apoll found 41% of adults younger than 30 say the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was acceptable while more than the 40% in that same demographic consider it unacceptable.

A new Emerson College Polling national survey found 68% of all voters consider the actions of the killer unacceptable. Seventeen percent found the actions acceptable, while 16% were unsure.

Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said younger voters diverge from the majority on several issues, including Thompson's murder.

"While 68% of voters overall reject the killer's actions, younger voters and Democrats are more split – 41% of voters aged 18-29 find the killer's actions acceptable (24% somewhat acceptable and 17% completely acceptable), while 40% find them unacceptable; 22% of Democrats find them acceptable, while 59% find them unacceptable, this compares to 12% of Republicans and 16% of independents who find the actions acceptable, underscoring shifting societal attitudes among the youngest electorate and within party lines," Kimball said.

The Democrats (Obama) have created a very divided society. This is actually a core tenet of communism — society is composed of Oppressors and the Oppressed. You are either one or the other.

A fair percentage of society now see the “other side” as being basically Nazi racist bigots who are trying to hurt poor people. Or something. And such people “obviously” deserve death.

We shouldn’t be here. But we are.

Didn’t we have similar numbers when it came to the attempted murder of Trump?

This is what happens when public justice fails. You get private justice which is hugely imperfect. You are seeing what society becomes when the legal system is corrupt.

In a just society both health care scammers and their murderers would be in jail.

They’re playing with the polls. The dems have taught them well.

Interesting. Now we're voting on which murder is permitted. If we can gin up enough support, we can incite someone to murder Pelosi or Schumer or Rowe or Wray or AOC or Ilhan Omar or Al Sharpton or Hillary or most of the talking heads of the mainstream media or the guy down the street who's been giving you trouble or (fill in the blanks with names of people who've caused all of this mess).

Entertaining way to live, voting for people's deaths. Thumbs up, they live, thumbs down, they die. Each one of us gets to play emperor.

They’re part of the murder-by-abortion Demonicrat generation. Let’s hope they are also sterile.

Our young people are being hardened for murder and destruction (see β€œOn Killing”, Lt Col Dave Grossman)

Didn't that ridiculous movie "The Joker" promote "kill the rich?"

Young people have been indoctrinated into antisocial behavior since "Easy Rider." (What an amateurish and poorly done movie.) One big reason America is on the brink is because of hollyweird.

So then they’ve gotten NOWHERE in 24 years!!

Because the bush/gore election was the closest ever.

They are making no headway and we got a higher percentage across every demographic.

But FR foils tend towards being a group looking for a problem in the midst of great election news :)

Including me.

We’re like the right wing talk shows when a Republican wins the presidency :)

“The education system is where young skulls full of mush are programmed and propagandized into the system. They are highly valuable. That’s why they’re subsidized. You know, universities are approaching the same circumstance we have in health care. What it costs is not related at all to market forces. Meaning what it costs is not related to what people can afford. You get right down to it, how many Americans, how many families can afford 20,000, 30,000, $50,000 a year or semester to send their kids off to college? It has to be subsidized.”

If they are for murder of people they do not agree with, can we say the same thing about liberals and not be held accountable?

I bet if you went back to any generation, you’d find that a large part of the population thought some type of violence was OK. At one point, a large part of the population thought lynching blacks was OK. This is a horrible, sobering poll result but I don’t think its new or unique.
