David Webb, a guest on Fox News, forcefully condemned the public’s fixation on Luigi Mangione’s murder, calling it a “perverted” behavior. Webb’s criticism centers around the fact that an increasing number of individuals find themselves drawn to graphic imagery and sensationalized reports involving the murder, labeling them as “fascination with death.”
This public fascination, Webb emphasized, is not only wrong-headed but also potentially destructive in nature. Webb noted, “It’s like prurient interest. That’s what it is; it’s a sick fix. It’s perverted.” He continued by underlining the significance of being empathetic towards those truly affected by the event instead of indulging in unnecessary and morbid fascination.
