The audience at Saturday Night Live appears to have a strange affection for cold-blooded killers.
During the sketch show’s Weekend Update, host Colin Jost started reporting that the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Luigi Mangioni, had dropped his extradition fight from Pennsylvania to face charges in New York.
Yet as soon as Jost mentioned his name, the audience burst out in cheers and applause.
“Yeah… woo,” Jost responded. “You’re wooing for justice, right?”
“In related news, Bumble exploded,” he then quipped.

The audience’s response reflects the feelings of many Americans, a significant percentage of whom appear to believe that Mangioni was justified in killing Thompson because of the sins of the greedy healthcare industry.
Just yesterday, The New York Post reported that besotted fans of Mangioni had sent him hundreds of letters and even prison spending money to show support for his act of merciless violence.
Meanwhile, many have attempted to downplay his crime on the grounds that Mangioni is abnormally handsome for a violent criminal.

Last week, Jimmy Kimmel ran a segment admitting that his staff “love” Mangioni and were feeling a “huge wave of horny” just by looking at him.
“Many women and men are going nuts over how good-looking this killer is, and there’s a huge wave of horny washing over us,” Kimmel quipped. “It’s like when one of the guys you work with says I had a dream about you last night.”

A shock poll carried out this week found that an alarming number of young people believe Mangioni was justified in killing Thompson.
According to Emerson College, 68 percent of Americans are willing to condemn the killing. However, that number drops to 41 percent among young people who said they consider it “acceptable.”
