- The response from certain leftist individuals and groups celebrating Thompson's murder highlights a worrying trend of normalizing violence against corporate leaders, reflecting a deeper cultural divide and an acceptance of vigilantism that threatens social cohesion and law and order.
- Public figures who have appeared to downplay this act of violence are emitting dangerous rhetoric, further inflaming tensions and emboldening those who may feel justified in taking violent action against perceived corporate oppressors.
