Luigi Mangione is alleged to have shot and killed United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and even before he was identified, the reaction to the shooter was far different than other instances of gun violence.

Today on It’s Been A Minute, guest host Gene Demby talks with The Guardian’s Abené Clayton about why Mangione is being praised by some, and why his alleged actions won’t do much to fix the healthcare industry.

And later on the show, a conversation with Dr. Laurie Santos, psychology professor at Yale and host of the podcast, The Happiness Lab, on the surprising science of how gratitude can affect our brains.
