That article shows more people thought the killing was unjustified than those who thought it was justified in every poll.

48% said they view the killing as totally or somewhat justified.

Those findings chime with an Emerson College poll which found that 41% of voters under 30 found the killing "acceptable," far more than in any other age group.

Noteworthy that the Emerson College Poll actually found 17% total thought it was justified, the 41% being only among young people specifically.

Is it good to rely on a poll of a demographic that's not generally directly affected by healthcare costs (college students are generally at an age where they are able to stay on their parents' insurance and may not be the ones footing the bill for treatment, but rather their parents do)?
