Police Say Luigi Mangione, Suspected Killer of Insurance CEO, Had 'Ill Will Toward Corporate America'
"I do apologize for any strife or trauma, but it had to be done," the Ivy League graduate reportedly wrote in a manifesto admitting to killing UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson. "These parasites had it coming."
You're viewing a single thread.
The only thing this guy had to do, apparently, was to scrub his personal possessions and electronics, not say a word to his friends, and then when the cops ran him through Clearview and found him, say he’s invoking his right to a lawyer and has nothing to say. And leave his cell phone at home, but presumably he did that. If all they had was the photo, then whatever. People look like other people sometimes.
He still had his ghost gun, and the motherfucker was carrying his manifesto on his person, when they picked him up. He shouldn’t have even been going to the damn McDonald’s. Just get DoorDash for a while and stay in the house until you’re not on the news anymore.
There is no guarantee that they’re telling the truth about how they picked him up and all, but it sounds like the kid was sloppy, which is a damn shame.
also sounds major stupid, perhaps like planted evidence, to disimpress future followers.
Did the opposite.
He would've kept a whole bunch of billionaires scared for a while if he'd just disappeared.
True. He made some mistakes. I think we all would.
Not really. It's just a longer, slower form of self-immolation, if the public goes back to apathy until he dies. If he makes it long enough for the public sector to make a change, he may become the next Mandela, or Hitler. A God to some, the Devil to others. 2000 years from now, it may be a sociocultural religion to carry vaporizers and off corrupt billionaires and aspiring, if the human species makes it long enough.
Eh.
If this person is not a scapegoat, then he probably wanted to get caught, so it doesn't get blamed on a scapegoat.
Well, there is a lot to learn about how he failed and how he succeeded.
I’m thinking he wanted to get caught. Otherwise you ditch the gun, the phone (which I assume is a burner), the fake id you used, plenty of water all around manhattan to dump that shit in. Also you don’t keep your manifesto on you. Unless you want to get caught.
Or he wanted to get caught. Keeping that ghost gun and the manifesto suggests that he did want to get caught. Or that he’s legally insane and didn’t think he did anything wrong that would require him to hide his identity and his crime.
