The suspect nabbed in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is an anti-capitalist Ivy League grad who liked online quotes from “Unabomber’’ Ted Kaczynski — and seethed in a manifesto, “These parasites had it coming,” law-enforcement sources told The Post on Monday.

Tech whiz Luigi Mangione, 26, originally from Towson, Md., apparently hated the medical community because of how it treated his sick relative, sources said.

He has not been charged in the slaying but was taken into custody Monday morning while eating at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., ending an intense manhunt sparked by the coldblooded execution of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last week, sources said.

The former prep-school valedictorian was caught with a ghost gun that uses 9mm bullets, a silencer, a US passport, four fake IDs with names used during the killer’s stint in New York City and the manifesto, sources said.

Snitched on by a wage cuck mcdonalds worker too. Truly a fitting end for the people's hero.

Why would this benchod keep this shit on him??? Open and shut case with the murder weapon and the IDs you used. And redditors were saying the guy was a professional… a professional retard more like

Reward was 50K. That's 2 years pay for a McCuck at least.

Here is his high school graduation speech. Guy was a fucking NERD. His school also cost $37,000 a year so he wasn’t no man of the people either probably the same type of school Brian Thompsons kids went to

Something very fishy about this. Luigi Mangione is fucking ripped in his Twitter pic and yet the shooter is a skinny dweeb. Not buying this for a second
>>
>>1367612
ghost gun means 3d printed no? if so then yeah no way he keeps that on him. first bit of water he finds in Central Park that’s getting tossed. if he is the shooter the only reason he would keep the gun is to suicide by cop

I wondered that too.

>>1367609
>Snitched on by a wage cuck mcdonalds worker
They'll get theirs.
How many people applaud this hero?
This hero just put his balls on the line for them. To obtain justice for himself, and others. Lets be unkind and say 0.1% of them others remotely have any balls. That's still a lot of people they need to watch out for. And they don't know what they look like.
I would not be surprised to see a national trend of spitting on McDonalds workers, let alone that store. I'd be surprised to learn people are not already setting up boycotts for that store, well to buy things.
Tick follows tock...

>Truly a fitting end for the people's hero.
There's a lot to get through yet for a successful prosecution. This isn't the end.
>He has not been charged in the slaying
If they have evidence, they charge you. If they don't they arrest on suspicion and hope to get evidence to charge. I question if they've the right bloke. He appears to of made sensible moves thus far, retaining the weapon is not a sensible move...

Even if him, more this man is persecuted for being a hero the more animosity they'll generate over a large swath of population. General sentiiment is with him, this isn't clever math to enact.

LOL sitting in McDonald’s with the gun and a manifesto. If you believe LUIGI MANGIONE is the real shooter and not just a patsy you’re a fucking retard ahahahhahaha

I'm not going to shit on that worker honestly. This is what they want us to do. The evil is still the health insurance companies
>>
>>1367614
damn 37k a year is insane how rich are his parents??

Could the feds possibly create a faker story than this? This all feels like they're saying "no guys we totally are competent and we totally did catch him and if you guys act like him we'll catch you too so fall back in line and suck CEO cock or else!"
>>
>>1367623
>'m not going to shit on that worker honestly.
No. I would imagine most of the retribution to occur at a dishonest level.

Evil still is the large firms. But this McDonalds worker just loudly declared which side they're on, and that they'll actively work against your interests.
>>
>>1367628
>>He's found with the murder weapon and silencer still in his possession
*a* weapon.
If it was the murder weapon, this would of been mentioned. They also would have charged him.

They *think* it might be the weapon. I'm with you, his first move will of been to lose that, if sensible. And generally things have been sensible.
>>
>>1367628
But wouldn’t that be kind of retarded for the fbi to do? Unless the real shooter is dead obviously
>>
>>1367631
They're saying it is the murder weapon since it's a silenced pistol that seems to match the description. Because you know, everyone keeps silenced pistols in their pocket of course

>>1367632
Not if they want to look like competent crime-solvers who can actually do their job and thus make all the wealthy folks look better protected
>>
>>1367614
Did more for the every man than the average man would. Just shows how much he sacrificed to spark unity among the American people
>>
>>1367633
>Because you know, everyone keeps silenced pistols in their pocket of course
Yes. Especially after using said pistol to commit a crime - one you're on the run from, with a national manhunt. Everyone does that after demonstrating competence in escaping.
>>
>>1367613
>50k? No nono, it's 10k. Why would we give you 25k? You only deserve 5k. But with all the work we did trying to find him you actually owe us! Btw, how about you come in for questioning, i doubt mcdonalds needs you rn.
>>
>>1367633
>Not if they want to look like competent crime-solvers who can actually do their job and thus make all the wealthy folks look better protected
Sure but then say hypothetically next year the guy kills another CEO suddenly they’ve lost all credibility they had left
>>
To all Americans, will the body cam of his arrest be available soon on YouTube like they usually are? Or are there different rules for this because it’s high profile or something
>>
What an idiot. He could've been outta the country by now
>>
>>1367640
This is a very new case given how riled up the public is and how much the elite over reacted. We might not see anything until shit is declassified unless more rich people get shot by copy cats.
>>
>>1367640
Not unless the cops release it themselves, otherwise you have to go through a FOIA request.
>>
I've found it amusing the increase of health insurance and hospital ads I've been getting talking about how theyre cheap, and compassionate, and how they dont have a record of fucking people over.

>Representatives from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office have arrived in Pennsylvania, where the suspect in the UnitedHealth CEO killing is being held.
>Sources tell Fox News Digital that representatives from Alvin Bragg's office arrived at the Altoona police station Monday.

So this means it’s him right?
>>
The newer update says “suspect is refusing to talk to police” which is weird cuz if he wanted to be caught surely he’d be talking
>>
>>1367647
No it's smart.
Never ever talk to police without a lawyer.
>>
>>1367647
He didn't "want to be caught", he's just an idiot that left behind a lot of clues and not the ice cold pro people want to believe he was.
>>
>>1367651
But he’s not an idiot he’s a very smart kid sure that doesn’t mean he’d know how to commit murder. But he would 100000% know to dispose of the gun, it was 3d printed too so it literally makes no sense to not get rid of it unless he wanted to be caught
>>
>>1367616
It can mean 3D printed, but I also heard you can also purchase a lower that's 80% complete and mill the rest out and that's considered a ghost gun.
>>
>>1367653
Still. Zero reason to retain the weapon beyond further use as evidence.
Which contradicts heavily all his observable action.
>>
>>1367652
I dunno I think no matter how well educated you are having a manifesto and the murder weapon on you while trying to avoid apprehension makes you an idiot. Also not leaving the country when you had about a week to get outta dodge and you knew the cops were closing in
>>
>>1367621
True and real.
All this is nothing but a circus.
His name, the absurd circumstances of his arrest, everything.
>>
>>1367655
>having a manifesto and the murder weapon on you while trying to avoid apprehension makes you an idiot.
Precisely this. Everything else had an air of preperation to it. If his goal was to get caught, he wouldn't of run to begin with.
>>
>>1367654
Yeah. It's completely retarded that this dude still had the weapon on him. If it were me, I'd at least bought a hack saw or maybe even an angle grinder beforehand. Then after the deed that gun would be in pieces spread across the region. I'm interested in seeing how the trial plays out.
>>
>>1367657
He wanted to be caught. He went on the run to build up hype (succeeded) if he killed the guy then stood by the body and waited for the cops that’s less of a story. He’s now got millions of eyes on him which is what he wanted, I assume he’s going to share his or his family members experience with the insurance company
>>
>>1367640
you will never ever see the bodycam footage of his arrest. NEVER. if they released it everyone will see how fake this shit is. i bet the cops pulled up and he basically jumped in the back of their car because that’s what his handlers told him to do
>>
>>1367657
This is where you're wrong. The point is wasting government funds, showing how there's such a difference in resource allocation for the murder of a millionaire, and how incompetent the NYPD is by evading them for days by just changing clothes and hopping on a bus with all the evidence on your person.
>>
>>1367663
It's like you think the guys the Joker from the Dark Knight. If the options are either he's a 4d chess masters whose carefully orchestrated ever level of this scheme even to the point of purposefully making mistakes that also end up going his way in the end, or he's just a dummy whose not as professional as people wanted to think he was, I think I'm just gonna go with the latter
>>
>>1367616
he might have intended to do another hit, and after making the gun it would be hard to part with it even if it is for the best
>>
>>1367588
checked.

From now on, any one who is denied a lifesaving insurance claim is going to think, "should I?"
>>
>>1367637
they will probably just say it's not him and is just a copycat
>>
>>1367667
That’s a fair point but still this situation is fishy to me. McDonald’s worker somehow recognising the guy doesn’t seem likely
>>
>>1367670
his face was all over social media and he was carrying the same items he used during the hit
it's perfectly reasonable
>>
it's not the same guy. why would he still have the gun and his manifesto on him a week later in a fucking mcdonalds?
this kid is just some guy they caught with child porn or something who agreed to take the fall in exchange for infamy
>>
No, retards. He "had a manifesto" because it was probably just on a laptop or accessible by cloud storage on his phone. That basically counts as carrying a manifesto. He still had the gun because he planned on doing this again and you're more likely to get caught if you try to attain, use, and dispose of multiple weapons. He got caught in a McDonalds because it's normal to be in a McDonalds, it's one of the most normal places to be in public.
>>
The CUNT that fingered him needs to be doxed and turned into a social pariah.
>>
It was fun while it lasted - I'm still holding on to the hope that his supporters will stop his convoy (joker style)
>>
>>1367692
Right, he was planning to assassinate someone in, let me check my notes, Altoona PA, a city of 40,000 people nobody has ever heard of.

UnitedHealthcare under fire for using AI to deny Medicare claims - Fox 5

Democrats on the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) released a report claiming UnitedHealthcare’s prior authorization denial rate for post-acute care jumped from 10.9% in 2020 to 22.7% in 2022.

Denial rates for skilled nursing centers, in particular, "experienced particularly dramatic growth." The number of denied claims in 2022 was nine times higher compared to 2019, according to the report.
>>
Yeah this guy obviously wasn't the criminal mastermind people hoped he was. He probably didn't even have an exit plan and was shocked he was able to get away from the scene. The last few days must have been emotionally taxing on him. I guess the question now is if he gave up on purpose or he was so freaked out he just carelessly made retarded decisions.
>>
>>1367707
Denial rates are an incomplete set of data and are worthless to look at without underlying data.
With the amount of fake Indian doctors and the calls from government that funds healthcare to cut costs and eliminate fwa there's no point in simply looking at one metric.
This is just a reality check post.

Brits are extinct. Have been since circa 61AD when their Queen, Boudiccia, united the normally warring clans and rode off to fight the Romans. She didn't come back. But the Romans did keep her alive long enough to watch common soldiers gang bang her daughters. The following campaign of genetic dilution removed all celtic markers from modern example and the systematic erradication of the druids ensured the death of the celtic culture.

The Romans left, and the celtic tribes did not reform. Along came the many Kings of England.. Who somehow managed to forget basic sanitation, sensible road planning, construction, and maintainence - and civic architechture genreally

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/12/09/unitedhealthcare-ceo-shooter-reward/76867850007/

I don't really know a lot about this topic but after reading this USA Today article above, the writer makes it seem like a lot would need to happen for the McDonald's employee to receive the full reward amount from both the New York City Police Department ($10k) as well as the F.B.I. ($50k)

What is the point of offering rewards if they aren't going to be fully honored by our trusted institutions?

Setting aside for a moment the moral satisfaction of helping out society, being a good citizen, and catching a psychotic murderer (assuming Luigi Mangione is ultimately convicted), if I were that McDonald's employee and the F.B.I. decided to not pay me the full $50k, I would be quite upset.

The article at the end makes it seem as if this McDonald's employee would "likely not" receive the F.B.I. reward as advertised. Am I missing something? Can someone help me understand why not in this case?
>>
>>1367862
Are you kidding they can gofundme more than that
>>
>>1367863
>>1367862
It's a tabloid and you shouldn't believe it when the author speculates without any evidence.
The only claims in there regarding the reward rooted in fact are the claims that he would need to wait until a conviction, because that's actually what the reward stipulates.
The author guessing on a value of the total reward with no evidence to back up their dollar guess is baseless speculation.
>>

He was a retard. His manifesto makes a major fallacy. He says the US pays the most while life expectancy ranking is #42. He has not considered the variable of lifestyle. Life expectancy can be low even when great healthcare. Maybe in other countries they live longer because they have less libtards or have a eat better, not because their health systems work better. US health is best in world for those who deserve it. It is Americans letting it down.

>“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

This is the most sane and cogent shooter manifesto I've ever read. Most of them are just schizo ramblings. Our healthcare is shit. All of us have a story of getting screwed or knowing somebody who got screwed in some way. All of us except the rich live in dread of the accident that sends us to the streets. It's fucked. I don't really know how to fix it, or really care how/who fixes it, just that it gets fixed.

Luigi was apol/centrist, like most young people figuring themselves out. He dabbled in some leftist thought here and some rightest thought there, but never moved too far outside the Overton window. He leaned a bit more right than left when he still had an online presence, but he could have ended up in either camp had pain not radicalized him first.

>direct action intended to influence public opinion. The action itself is meant to serve as an example for others to follow, acting as a catalyst for social change.
Basically, do something shocking (usually violent) to get eyes on/motivate social change, and maybe get a bit of catharsis on the side. It's been used by both radicals and reactionaries throughout history.

>I don't think ceos should be shot, I think abortion is a states issue
What a confused retard you are.
>I'm fine with killing innocent kids in the womb
>but murdering CEO's that deny claims from sick people makes me sad!
>>
>>1367882
Is this a larp?
>>
>>1367885
I'm talking to a retarded hypocrite with a fucked up morality system.
Listening to you faggots get on your high horse about hating political violence and merciless deaths, while allowing wiggle room for abortion, means you barely qualify as sentient.

So the story seems to be that two old boomers at McDs saw Luigi, and were making a joke about how he looked like the shooter. They didn't report him because they kind of thought the CEO had it coming. The McDonalds employee heard the boomers, and then called the police based off of their comments.

>>1367887
Luigi literally had to just lay low for like 6 months, grow a beard, and he'd be back at his normal life. He was way too hot to be prancing around in public. He should have just gone camping for an extended period of time.
>>
>>1367890
Didn’t even have to lay low. if he went into that McDonalds without the hat and mask no one would have recognised him.
>>
>>1367874
He probably regrets it himself now
>>
>>1367869
I went to school with him. He’s not an asshole
>>
>>1367893
Probably. But still if you're gonna pull a stunt like this that's going to lead to a nation wide man hunt, being seen in public is the last thing you want. Especially since his full face was known at the time. But he also made a lot of fuck ups besides this. He planned the killing and escape very well, but his longer term plan was non existant.

I'm kinda pissed at him getting caught so soon. Why go through the efforts of making fake IDs, travelling by greyhounds, sleeping in a hostel, wearing a mask 23⅞/7, paying only by cash, using a ghost gun, and using a burner phone, if he's just going to throw it all away? He might as well have just shot him with a rifle from walmart and waited for the police to arrest him there. He did everything like a spy novel, except if the author got lazy and ended it directly after the climax.
>>
>>1367899
Was his full face known at the time? I thought it was just the picture of him smiling in the hostel?
>>
>>1367876
No
>>
>>1367899
>He planned the killing and escape very well, but his longer term plan was non existant
This.
The dude could have been easily out of the country by now.
>>
>>1367904
Assuming he wanted to live the rest of his life in a foreign country constantly looking over his shoulder
>>
>>1367906
As opposed to constantly looking over his shoulder in a country who's federal law enforcement are hunting for him?
Idk. The thought was obviously on his mind given that he had a passport and foreign currency on his person
>>
>>1367904
He should've kept the cannoli
>>
>>1367908
Regarding the money
>Prosecutors argued that Mangione was carrying about $10,000 in cash and that his bag was a Faraday bag that blocks cellphone signals—all proof that he was a sophisticated criminal who should be held without bail.

>“‘I’d like to correct two things,’” Mangione said after the prosecutor finished speaking, according to CNN’s Danny Freeman, “‘I don’t know where any of that money came from—I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication.’”
>>
>>1367906
In this day and age?
If he disappeared, 1 month tops at the very latest, and everyone in the world would have completely forgotten about this incident.
Dude could easily come back in a year and I doubt anyone would even have batted an eye.

People are completely brainrotted these days and consume too much media and news. They latch from one thing onto the other.
>>
>>1367911
People do yeah but not he FBI. I live in Wales and the FBI arrested an American living here who was on the run for 21 years
>>
>>1367912
Sure, but I bet that guy had a lot more on him than this kid.

Literally all they had on Luigi was a couple of photos of his partial face. They had no idea who he was, why he did it, where he came from, etc. Even now, if he had grown beard, he probably wouldn't even have been recognized.
>>
>>1367914
I thought the hostel scanned his fake ID which had his real face on?
>>
>>1367914
They also had a partial fingerprint and burner phone from Luigi, and they probably would have found more stuff eventually. To evade the FBI these days, you pretty much need to make zero mistakes. Surveillance and forensics technology are so advanced now it's hard to evade law enforcement if they really want to find you. They don't give a shit about gang murders, but they obviously care about a CEO being killed.
>>
why is some rich asshole getting shot national news? who actually cares?

>That’s where UnitedHealthcare went wrong. They violated their contract with my mother, with me, and tens of millions of other Americans. This threat to my own health, my family’s health
isn't he rich tho — did his family lose all their money or something
>>
>>1367926
This was a fake manifesto. The real manifesto is boring and doesn’t mention his mother at all
>>
Daniel Penny strangling a crazy black guy menacing people on the subway was more revolutionary and threatening to the system than this guy killing a totally replaceable insurance ceo.
>>
>>1367927
>praises the feds
>doesn't give an adequate reason why he did it
>this is the real manifesto
Are you shitting me
How new are you
>>
>>1367941
The real one as in the official one not just a manifesto some random person made online which is what you were quoting originally
>>
>>1367917
Yes, it'll be nearly impossible to motivate the U.S. citizenry to kill the rich via vigilante justice since the odds of getting away with a non-pointless killing are basically none, only pointless deaths allowed.
>>
>NEW YORK - A person walking their dog in Central Park found a ziplock bag of bullets in the bushes on Tuesday, which police believe is tied to Luigi Mangione, the suspect accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare’s CEO Brian Thompson.

So he ditched a bag of bullets but kept the gun? Sus sus sus
>>
>>1367957
because the whole thing was a cia spook job to prevent the suppressor deregulation law from passing and to try to ban "ghost guns"
>why would they spook a ceo
because no one gives a shit and it would get on the news. plus the ceo was in a group that did insider trading and might have been willing to testify
>>
>>1367971
So why choose Luigi. A ultra wealthy and very intelligent kid

https://nypost.com/2024/12/10/us-news/luigi-mangiones-back-pain-was-so-intense-that-he-couldnt-be-physically-intimate-with-anyone-former-landlord-says/
back surgery caused him intense chronic pain. Its not like the spooks just pick random people. they find someone who is angry and empowers them to do spooky shit. like the flordia shooter was mad about being bullied before they bought him a gun and convinced him to shoot up a school. lee harvy oswald was already pro commie and went to cuba. retardy oswald was addicted to tranny porn before they sent him on trump. except for the vegas shooter, that was 100% just MK ultra. its why the media quickly dropped it after the bumpstock ban and no one ever revealed how he got the guns up there or why he did it

Seeing the way the mainstream news (both the so-called left and right) have been covering this has been eye-opening to me. I always knew that they were corpo aligned, but I didn't think it was this bad. The level of unified gaslighting is some of the most repulsive I've ever seen. They completely ignore the public reaction, a huge fucking story as I haven't seen the masses as united since 9/11, attributing it instead to a few loud partisan freaks on the enemy team (MAGA if your CNN, radical leftists if you're FOX). They ignore the anger over healthcare this has brought to the forefront. They tie themselves in loops to misinterpret DENY DEPOSE DELAY. I expected some spin or bias, but not to this level.

And it works. Anecdotally, they've got my boomerdad, who was joking about rolling out the guillotine for these parasites a decade ago, parroting their talking points of
>Thompson dindu nothing, he was just an innocent healthcare provider and family man.
>He was just a cog in the machine. (following orders, rite?)
>The killer was basically like the other public shooters who shot kids. He was a spoiled incel brat who couldn't take a little bit of back pain.
>The anger people have and their flippant reaction to the CEO's fate are just terminally violent online weirdos doing their thing.

My dad called Thompson a common man hero who realized the American dream, that our healthcare is flawed but worth preserving, and demanded I take a side when the topic was broached, either I was pro murder or pro UHC. Sorry for the reddit tier blogposting, but it makes me pissed as fuck.
>>
>>1367992
>And it works
Only on boomers, and only on the ones who aren't on facebook. What does your dad watch, anyways?
>>
>>1367995
70% CNN
30% FOX
>>
Did he have an accomplice named Mario?

>>1367917
Louie pulled his mask down because a woman was flirting with him. STUPID. Also, he hung around NYC For a month. Get in snd out within a week or sooner after finding out that your mark's habits are. Louie was an amateur

Yeah, direction brains in this thread can't handle political nuances.
