Luigi Mangione is hit with terrorism charges for murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson

Luigi Mangione has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism for the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Mangione, 26, had already been charged with murder for the December 4 slaying, but the indictment could help move along procedural steps toward extraditing the suspect.

Under New York law, such a charge can be brought when an alleged crime is 'intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policies of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion and affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping.'

Thompson, 50, was shot dead as he walked to a Manhattan hotel where Minnesota-based UnitedHealthcare - the United States' biggest medical insurer - was holding an investor conference.

'This was a frightening, well-planned, targeted murder that was intended to cause shock and attention and intimidation,' Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Tuesday.

'It occurred in one of the most bustling parts of our city, threatened the safety of local residents and tourists alike, commuters and businesspeople just starting out on their day.'

Mangione has two court hearings scheduled for Thursday in Pennsylvania, including an extradition hearing, Bragg noted.

Hours after his arrest in Pennsylvania last week, the Manhattan district attorney´s office filed paperwork charging him with murder and other offenses. The indictment builds on that paperwork.

sorry, terrorism should be terrorism. and “terroristic threats” are B.S.

“Hate Crimes” are B.S. if it is a crime it is a crime.

“Hate Speech” is also B.S. if it is legal speech it is legal, if it is not it is not.

If I told a satanist “Jesus loves you” should you be prosecuted hate speech ?

If I silently pray outside an abortion clinic should I go to jail ?

Just look what is going on in the UK and Canada.

If I told another poster their post is illogical garbage, should I be prosecuted?

Luigi Mangione’s high-powered attorney is married to Diddy’s top lawyer

That's keeping it in the family.

One can hate anyone they want. If they act and kill a person it’s murder. Hate has nothing to do with it

“Hate has nothing to do with it.”

Generally, murders are for hate or money.

This murderer should have ALREADY been executed but, as usual, the criminal justice system will play endlessly with this open-and-shut case, to milk it for every penny they can get out of it. SHAMELESS!

And in this case the murderer should have ALREADY been tried, convicted, and executed, but the lawyers, courts, and propaganda media will milk it probably for years because for them it’s a real money maker!

Have fun in prison loogy. The stupidest thing is that he’s young. Now he’ll have decades with nothing but men in a stinky prison.

My guess...

Bragg is over charging so he can have to case dismissed or some plea for a ridiculously soft sentence. Bragg supports and celebrates this murder and New York’s leadership needs the vote of the marxists who love the guy.

Since Antifa is a terrorist organization it makes sense.

Remember when RICO was used not on the Mafia but on pro-life protesters who “conspired” to confront women and talk to them about considering adoption?

And the FBI agents undercover pretending to be Catholic parishioners but watching the people in the congregation for Latin Mass fan tendencies.

And parents speaking up at local school meetings and disagreeing with school nurses giving hypodermic injections to change children’s hormones and gender? Dangerous terrorists, obviously.

And America’s number one threat is conservatives who are thus domestic terrorists.
