How is it we know more about Luigi Mangione than we do about Thomas Crooks?
American Thinker ^ | 11 Dec, 2024 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 12/12/2024 4:15:28 AM PST by MtnClimber

Within hours of his apprehension in Pennsylvania in connection with the cold-blooded murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, scads of information rolled out about the life and times of suspect Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old man who has been accused of the killing, and in a very short period of time, the Internet being a fast medium.

We've seen pictures of his family, and heard their statements of shock and regret at the news. We learned he grew up wealthy, the son of the owner of two resorts near Baltimore. We learned he once worked in a nursing home owned by his family.

SNIP

It's in striking contrast to the last high-profile killer who came to our attention last July, Thomas Crooks, another young man with a similar background who got his name in the news for attempting to kill President Trump amid a sea of Secret Service incompetence, but did manage to murder an innocent firefighter who was nearby, and injure two others in addition to President Trump, before he was shot dead by a cop. His age was similar, his engineering background was similar, his working in a nursing home was similar

But we hear nothing of the level of information Mangione got from this miserable freak -- little about his political motivations, which political party he identified with, what his political views were, who his friends were, nothing about his very strange family who threw away their silverware to prevent police from finding it in a home search after the killing and attempted assassination, nothing about the strange associated classmates who could have been involved in the attack.

We know nothing about the strange ad he made for Blackrock, or the 18 burner phones in his backpack. We don't know who he was talking to on the phone

Most pics are with his shirt off. That helps garner sympathy and support. Ted Bundy got thousands of marriage offers and love letters. This must be very hard on the victims family. Nobody seems to be on their side. And seeing Kimmel make light of it, and his sick and twisted audience laugh at his moronic cracks makes me ill.

we literally had the manifesto the day he was caught. Why don’t we get to read that killer-tranny girl’s manifesto? We know why

or what about Steven Paddock? the largest mass-shooter (supposedly) in US history
we know NOTHING about him.

my suspicion is that he was an ATF/FBI agent who went rogue/bonkers

there are dozens upon dozens of books written about Charles Manson and Ted Bundy types yet there is absolutely NOTHING known about Paddock — not even a HS yearbook photo.
There are still bloggers today that chase down each & any possible connection to Manson and his travels prior to Tate-Labianca but no one has done any research about Paddock

i wonder why not

Crooks was a loner. Mangione had a very active social presence, until the last year.

That one seems to have been successfully memory holed. Major cover up.

Charged with 2nd degree murder so I guess he didn’t plan it? He just happened to be standing there with a gun in his hand and took a sudden notion to shoot the CEO? Will it be reduced to involuntary manslaughter?

Mangione trumpets his innocence by saying “ I am not a crooks”.

The deep state has no reason to obstruct the investigation into Luigi Mangione.

You go where the crime was committed...and that’s NYC. Shouldn’t need a governor’s warrant.
