Several online sellers are being flooded with merchandise glorifying Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting. The merchandise includes ornaments, t-shirts, mugs, and other items that depict Mangione in a positive light.
This disturbing trend has raised concerns about the glorification of violence and criminal behavior. Many experts fear that selling merchandise that celebrates suspects in violent crimes could potentially inspire others to commit similar acts.
The proliferation of this merchandise online has sparked outrage among the public and law enforcement officials, who are working to have the items removed from sale. UnitedHealthcare has also issued a statement denouncing the sale of any merchandise glorifying Mangione.
It is important for online platforms and sellers to be vigilant about the products they are allowing to be sold on their sites. The glorification of violence and criminal behavior should not be tolerated in any form, and steps should be taken to prevent the spread of such merchandise.

You're missing the point but no surprising
Well what do you expect when health insurance companies and politicians don’t care about the people
It's the same fight it's always been: the people at the top versus the people on the bottom.
And what's your point in this news report, NBC?!
"We should remind the audience (and ourselves) that the CEO was a husband, and a father of two…"
What about all those individuals who were denied critical care because profit-driven insurance companies prioritized their bottom line over people's lives? This systemic issue highlights the devastating consequences of placing financial gain above human well-being in our healthcare system. I have no sympathy for the CEO. #DenyDefendDepose
Where was the media complaining when the Free OJ t-shirts came out. Oh wait those are still being sold…..
Al Erie I’ve watched you for years. You are so pretty. ❤
why don't report the information. you can't. you are payed to take a side, you spineless grifters.
The marketing the news is providing right now is truly self serving
Media. You do not have feelings for victims of United. You do not call insurance company mass killer….
And how many people are dead because of that CEOs choices.

"in bad taste" 😂😂😂
If you guys in mainstream media don't learn from this that the public hates you and disagrees with every word you said, since apparently the election didn't teach you (and I'm speaking as a leftist) then you truly are hopeless.
Im trying to find Luigi Mangione merchandise to fill up Christmas stockings this year! But I can't locate anything.
That’s what ya get when ya snitch.
FREE Luigi!

What about the families of Osama bin Laden or Sadam Housein? I feel like the media didn’t really talk about how tragic the deaths were then, almost like they thought it was justified… and I don’t think they chastised anyone for celebrating those deaths.
It’s almost like if you don’t give people any other avenues for justice, they’ll resort to violence. How wild.
Is there any truth to the rumors about his wife having something to do with this
Josh Shapiro, you literally put your autograph on weapons of war
Not one single clue (according to the media) why people would be in favor of the guy who went after the health insurance industry, for whatever reason.
It’s so incredibly mysterious they can’t even read a single one of the comments left on all their videos.

It's kinda disgusting how obtuse the news media is. It's fascinating that they are trying to shame people for celebrating.
Violence was offered up “as a solution” by a group of men in their twenties who were tired of giving their money to the King of England. It’s known in history books as the “shot heard round the world.” It was a crime. It happened back in 1775 and it birthed this nation. This country was baptized in the blood of its oppressors. That’s not an opinion, that’s our history.
Products with words on them are a freedom defended by our US Constitution (see First Amendment). Who cares if mainstream media doesn't like it???
McDs was already banned for having E. Coli outbreaks. They keep getting bad press. Oh well, same example of corporate greed
"Violence is never the answer."
Ever heard of the American Revolution? ❤
didn't trump work at mcdonalds?
The people are waking up and the capitalist class is scared
I'm so done being lectured by mainstream media esp after a year of genocide in Gaza. Why don't you report on how other countries have free healthcare and how we could implement that here. And I am a life long Dem BTW
Heroes don't wet themselves.
Just because the talking heads get fed their opinions from a teleprompter doesnt mean the rest of us do as well.
It seems like Americans don't like greedy billionaire CEOs who put making millions over saving American lives….. who knew…..
What a mess of things I never love democracy. Democracy killing human life like a American
Broadcaster put himself in a guarded position, nice body language bub.
