Authorities have detained Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old from Towson, Maryland, as a person of interest in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, following a rigorous search by police.Thompson was assassinated outside a hotel in Midtown Manhattan last Wednesday. The shooter, described by police as calculated, used a suppressor-equipped firearm, striking Thompson multiple times before fleeing. New York police revealed surveillance images showing a suspect near the crime scene. Thompson’s family reported prior threats made against him.
According to law enforcement sources reviewing his online activity, Mangione is known for anti-capitalist beliefs and criticism of the U.S. healthcare system. His Goodreads account features quotes from historical figures like Socrates, Bruce Lee, and Ted Kaczynski, the “Unabomber,” recognized for his anti-establishment views. Mangione also reportedly carried a manifesto that criticized the financial and ethical practices of the healthcare industry.Mangione’s educational background includes being the valedictorian of his 2016 class at the Gilman School in Baltimore. He later pursued studies focused on artificial intelligence at the University of Pennsylvania. Brian Thompson, who had been CEO of UnitedHealthcare since April 2021, was prominent in the healthcare industry and had been with the company since 2004. The unfolding investigation continues to capture public interest, with authorities striving to understand the factors leading to Thompson’s assassination.

I hope the McDonalds worker can collect the 50k reward.
McDonalds worker called it in. some police work.
The Police DID NOT have his name prior to this....
If he still had the murder weapon on him, my guess is he kept it because he planned on additional murders. That would fit his idolization of Kacynzski as well as the manifesto, hoodie, etc. He saw himself as the next mysterious Unabomber fighting for the people. But he’s not as smart as Kacynzski.

Anyone on the right that has this level fundamental hate for Capitalism is simply lying about being on the Right.
There are people on the Right who see the obvious problems with the crony capitalism that been interjected by Government’s into the system. However, that is a far different thing then the mindless hate the Alt Left has for capitalism.
