    I ran across the term “social murder” a while back, which seems to describe the type of murder that Brian Thompson was guilty of.

      Like Charles Manson, who was convicted of 7 counts of first degree murder, Thompson didn’t (that we’re aware of) directly kill anyone. However, Thompson’s body count was multiple orders of magnitude higher and he was given a bonus for it, instead of life in prison.
