Mass. woman arrested at Capitol said she was inspired by CEO slaying, prosecutors say

A Massachusetts woman who told police that she went to the U.S. Capitol to kill members of President Donald Trump's cabinet said she was influenced by Luigi Mangione, the man charged with fatally shooting the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, prosecutors said in a court filing.

Ryan Michael English, who goes by Riley English, was arrested Monday and remained in custody after her initial court appearance on Thursday. English didn't immediately challenge her pretrial detention, court records show.

English, 24, of South Deerfield, Massachusetts, told police that she felt like she was “on a mission” and “had been thinking about for this for a while because of Luigi Mangione,” prosecutors said. Mangione pleaded not guilty in December to state murder and terror charges in a Manhattan court.

“I pushed that away because I was thinking like that is so stupid, that accomplishes nothing, that poor kid just threw his life away for like a minute of vengeance,” English said, according to prosecutors.

English was arrested on weapons charges after she approached police at the Capitol and said she came there to kill billionaire investor Scott Bessent on the day that the Senate confirmed the South Carolina resident as Trump's treasury secretary, according to a Tuesday court filing.

Investigators said they found a folding knife, two homemade firebombs and a lighter in English’s possession.

English also said she traveled from Massachusetts to Washington, D.C., intending to kill other Republican political figures — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and House Speaker Mike Johnson — and to burn down the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, according to police. English changed her target to Bessent after reading an internet post about his confirmation hearing, police said.

English told officers that she was terminally ill and “wanted to do something before I go,” according to prosecutors.

Seems as if women are much less violent than men, and men are much less violent than men who pretend to be women.

Sentence it to life in prison - no parole. Inspired by the judge who sentenced Luigi.

But...but...we are always told these people become happy and fulfilled once they get mutilated and change their gender. Is that not always true?

Apparently some in the media are still drinking the woke kool-aid.......this is a dude not a woman.

If he was born with a twig and berries it’s settled science.

A tranny? Wonder if the news media will cover it up like they did the shooting of the Vermont Border Patrolman.
It was published three days ago, then scrubbed from the internet. Now it is back. Bookmark before it disappears again!

The truth: it went to DC for 5 seconds of fame. That’s come & gone. No one bent on murder finds a cop to confess to prior to the act.

Unless you are Scottish, or Bugs Bunny, if you put on a skirt, you are de facto a butter who should be in a loony bin.

We had an older, cancer-surviving customer who lost his medical insurance when he could no longer work. He claimed that was his plan if his cancer returned - to get medical care paid for.
