So a whole 5 days later and you’re only a few hours away in PA hitting up McDonald’s with a lot of the evidence still on u?
I must say the photos of him in NYC don't really look like the photos on his social media. Makes more sense why it took this long.
Did they just pin it on some random dude so they could say they caught the guy? Or did everyone give the guy too much genius credit?
Most Americans don't care - they are not cheering the shooter on, but they feel little empathy for the dead CEO of a health insurance company. There is no collective outrage that the man was gunned down on the street of NYC. The temperature has been slowly turning up for some time and unless it gets better, there will be more events like this - where the American people have a collective shrug of the shoulders.
I don't care about the law when I'm asking a question of logic, the law is irrelevant. The law once said you could kill your own slave, laws are separate from 'morals' and you asked a morality question. The answer to your question is, it depends on who is being killed, murdered, whatever. The sympathy changes, anyone that honestly thinks of that question knows that. The truth is, most people don't care that he was killed because of who he is just like people didn't care about the submarine thing. People don't worship these billionaires like you think they do, they do not care, and its not a left or right issue. If Trump doesn't fix the wealth inequality I am guessing that things will get worse, we've seen this story throughout human history time and time again. Culture wars and identity politics can only distract people for so long.
It should be disturbing - there is discussion of extremes "celebrating" his death, but those are and always have been on the fringe.... so no shock that some on social media have made claims of satisfaction. What is disturbing is the overwhelming response of people having no real sympathy or empathy for someone that was gunned down in the street in an assassination. This has been treated by the public very much like it was when prominent mobsters were killed. That is a shift from the past - and should upset people in general because it is telling... and it has nothing to do with "leftists" and has everything to do with the level of mistrust and hatred that a lot of Americans have for authority pillars like big business and those that profit off of it at the expense of Americans. The teapot is bubbling over right now, and if they level of income inequality improves - the bubbling will calm, but if it does it - then the attitudes you have seen so common will only become more common amongst the people.
If it really is this guy, I am confused. Nothing in his social media seems to indicate the level of fanatism I would assume it would take to murder someone in cold blood like what has happened here. I wonder if something happened where some close relative of this dude died because of denied insurance coverage or something.
The person of interest 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 apparently hated the medical community because of how it treated his sick relative, law-enforcement sources told The Post on Monday. Luigi Mangione, 26, of Towson, Md., has not been charged but was taken into custody Monday morning at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., after an intense manhunt following the coldblooded execution of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last week, sources said. Mangione had a particularly personal reason to hate the medical community — its treatment of an ailing relative, sources said. Online obituaries show he lost a grandmother in 2013 and grandfather in 2017. His LinkedIn page indicates that he once worked in an assisted-living facility for the elderly for a few months in 2014, while still in high school. Mangione also subscribed to anti-capitalist and climate-change causes, according to law-enforcement sources, citing online activity gleaned by authorities. On the Goodreads website, Mangione’s account shows quotes he particularly likes ranging from Socrates to Bruce Lee — to wacky anti-establishment Kaczynski, the infamous “Unabomber’’ who terrorized the country for nearly two decades by dispatching deadly bombs before he was nabbed in 1996. https://nypost.com/2024/12/09/us-ne...d-as-luigi-mangione-an-ex-ivy-league-student/
All that prep to conceal his movements, obtain fake IDs, suppressed weapon and ammo, staking out, red herrings, yet he's caught with all the evidence still in his possession. Shocking.
We tell our kids "Don't play with fire, you'll get burned". Health insurance CEOs who only "innovate" new ways to let people die are playing with fire.
