CSUSB’s Brian Levin: Suspect in United HealthCare CEO slaying doesn’t fit neatly in ideological categories
Los Angeles Times
Dec. 14, 2024

Brian Levin, founding director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at CSUSB, was interviewed for an article examining the ideology and possible motivation of the man suspected of killing the CEO of United HealthCare.

 The suspect comes off “as anti-capitalist and anti-corporate in his manifesto, (Levin), said that didn’t necessarily make him hard-left. Increasingly, Levin noted, anti-corporate and anti-institutional subcultures operate across the ideological spectrum.”

“We’re seeing a diversification of these types of extremism, as well as an a la carte construction of idiosyncratic beliefs that are sometimes hooked into an ideology,” Levin said, noting that two years ago, a mass shooter who killed eight people at a mall in Allen, Texas, was a Latino with a Nazi tattoo. “Let’s see where the defendant falls.”
