'Chilling': Columnist sounds alarm at 'public bloodlust for destruction and retribution'

Raw Story  

A Washington Post columnist on Friday evening called the public's reaction to the assassination of a health insurance CEO "chilling" — and decried what she called "public bloodlust for destruction and retribution." Columnist Catherine Rampell noted in her column that Mangione has been compared to Robin Hood, held up by some as an almost "folk hero" figure, and even called a "hottie." That reaction, she said, has been "chilling" — and has come from both "online hordes" and "supposedly serious public figures, including at least two federal lawmakers." "This is an escalation of an existing political trend: public bloodlust for destruction and retribution," she argued.
