Idaho killer, UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect may both have visual snow syndrome, a rare disorder

Two individuals at the center of recent high-profile murder cases may have the same rare and concerning health condition. Bryan Kohberger, who pleaded guilty to the murder of four University of Idaho students, and Luigi Mangione, accused of stalking and ambushing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, apparently have the same neurological condition known as visual snow syndrome.

The rare disorder impairs vision, as if the person is looking through snow or static on an old television. Both Kohberger and Mangione have posted publicly about their condition, according to multiple reports.

Kohberger reportedly posted in a forum on a platform called TapATalk in 2011 about his struggle with visual snow syndrome (VSS), saying his vision made the world feel like a "video game."

Oh, now I get it. We have to let Luigi go so the unfortunate mental illness victim can get help. Followed by a psychiatrist declaring him “cured” and his going off to a dazzlingly wonderful good life.

Where is the help for the man shot in the back and killed or his wife and children who loved him and his coworkers who miss him?

Yeah, the “snow” is the snow job of shrinks and shysters putting one over on us.

No dice.

I think you’re onto something.

I propose a universal ‘vaccine’ for the condition (democrat):

Frontal lobotomy.

Well Mangione is super wealthy, so I’m sure he’s a Democrat.

B S

KOHLBERGER WAS A STUDENT STUDYING CRIMINAL JUSTICE.

IMO—HE THOUGHT HE WAS SMART ENOUGH TO DO THE MURDERS & NEVER GET CAUGHT

What are the chances he can get reelected with that in his baggage?

I thought Luigi's parents were big time lefties?

The application of high voltage is a sure cure for this.

So what. Execution would be proper, but we rarely do that anymore.

We know that Kohberger drove a car. How could that possibly be legal?

Interesting. The guy who did the mass killing at the Walmart in El Paso was in the criminal justice club in high school.
