Looks Can Kill

by Chris O’Carroll

“In the days since… Luigi Mangione was identified and charged in the murder
of the UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson, it has been impossible

to escape his photo. . . . Indeed, it didn’t take long for Mr. Mangione to be popularly
christened ‘the hot assassin.'”
The New York Times

Is it OK to shoot a CEO?
For ordinary-looking people, no.
But if the public finds you buff and hot,
Embrace celebrity and take your shot.
