Luigi Mangione’s ‘manifesto’ reveals reason for targeting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, failed plot for mass casualty event: court docs

NY Post ^ | 06/05/2025 | Kyle Schnitzer and Shane Galvin

[ChicagoConservative27]

The deranged “manifesto” of Luigi Mangione revealed the image-obsessed accused killer chose to “wack the CEO” of UnitedHealthcare during an investor conference in New York City to generate “headlines” — and had previously planned a bombing “catastrophe,” court documents revealed.

Parts of Mangione’s scrawlings in red spiral notebooks were revealed as part of a filing from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Wednesday, giving insight into the thought processes of the 27-year-old who allegedly targeted Brian Thompson, 50, on Dec. 4, 2024, to prove a political point about the health insurance industry, which he wrote “extracts human life force for money.”

“So say you want to rebel against the deadly, greed fueled health insurance cartel. Do you bomb the HQ? No. Bombs=terrorism,” Mangione wrote in the notebook, which he had in his backpack when he was arrested five days after he allegedly shot the exec in the back on a Midtown street.

I think the challenge is that those people that “root” for him have direct experience with United withholding benefits for “fake” reasons. i.e. I empathize with their feelings, but disagree with him being assassinated.

[cuban leaf]

I will add that, generally speaking, when a culture abandons law and order, don’t be surprised when vigilantism is on the rise.

In an ironic twist, UnitedHealthcare operated illegal barriers to mental health coverage and their CEO was executed by someone who would have benefited from mental health treatment.

A tough case to prosecute so we get these new leaks to help the prosecution indoctrinate the jury pool.

Murder remains murder in my book.

Some people think its OK for a cop to put his knee on someone’s neck foe eight minutes because they are a “drug addict”.

Not much better thinking to say corporate executives in the Medical Industrial Complex should be killed.

[cuban leaf]

OK, that’s funny. In a “dark humor” way.

The corporate executives in the Medical Industrial Complex have no concern about the victims of the mentally ill, even after one of their own is the victim.

Sounds like a great institution, one that's "too big to allow to fail".

Fully agree, but the resentment against healthcare middlemen is very real throughout the country.

Remember when one of the arguments against Obamacare was the creation of death panels? WE HAVE ALWAYS HAVE DEATH PANELS. Do you think that insurance companies don’t deny coverage 265 days of the year?

[Organic Panic]

I am genuinely surprised Fat Alvin Bragg didn’t drop the case.

[Nextrush]

We do have to understand that in prosecuting this murder case governments at federal and state levels are going places they would never go to prosecute someone who murdered an average citizen.

In George Orwell’s Communist world of “Animal Farm” some were “more equal than others”.

In our world medical insurance executives are on a higher level as well.

Why do those politicians in Washington want to spend money we don’t have because money has been put in their pockets to spend our money?

[No name given]

They’re evil incarnate.

And that’s far too many.

I have a different take on this issue: UHC was being investigated for insider trading by the DOJ and during the investigation the names of several congresspeople came up; he was set to testify about the insider trading.

This is looking more and more like a hit

[Az Joe]

knee on neck that led to death? What case was that?

[hinckley buzzard]

Hm. Lot of weird sh*t surfacing on this thread today.

[Miami Rebel]

That’s the most bizarre leap I’ve ever read.

In the history of the SEC there has never been an insider trading-related homicide. Even if someone wanted to commit murder to cover up a white-collar crime, whatever case that would be prosecuted would rely on paper and electronic trails, not the testimony of some suit.

And at any rate, it wouldn’t be the company that would be liable. It would be the parties that traded on the info.

Ok. So convict Derek Chauvin for battery. But the restraint was not the cause of Saint George’s death. He was railroaded for political reasons.

As to this joker, thanks for the confession. There may be enough for the feds to execute the little bastard on the pending federal terrorism charge. We can’t have people gunning other people they disagree with down in the street. Period.
