Luigi Mangione accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson | Latest news

(ASSOCIATED PRESS) The gun found on the suspect in the killing of United Healthcare’s CEO matched shell casings found at the site of the shooting, New York City’s police commissioner said Wednesday.

Suspect Luigi Mangione’s fingerprints also matched a water bottle and a protein bar wrapper that police found near the scene and say the gunman purchased at a nearby coffee shop while awaiting his target, Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at an unrelated news conference.

The 26-year-old Mangione’s was charged with murder in the shooting last week in midtown Manhattan of Brian Thompson, who led the United States’ largest medical insurance company.

Authorities have said that writings found in Mangione's possession hinted at a hatred of corporate greed.

They’ve recovered a spiral notebook that Mangione kept, along with a three-page handwritten letter found when he was arrested, a law enforcement official said Wednesday. Police have not disclosed what was in the notebook.

The letter, found when Mangione was arrested Monday in Altoona, Pennsylvania, teased the possibility that clues to the attack — “some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it” — could be found in the notebook, the law enforcement official said. The official wasn’t authorized to disclose information about the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The ONLY bag he was seen carrying [that had Everything] was his backpack and He discarded it in Central Park, then they caught him at McDonald's in PA with everything ? makes Sense?

Sad situation. We need more equality in American society. Greed and selfishness is destroying the fabric of our society. We need humanity and compassion in this corporate society we live in. Peace y'all.

Be careful of what you say to your therapist these days, everyone. They’re required to report you to the police if you make a threat, even if it’s just venting. And they don’t have to tell you they made the report.

Reasonable, Necessary, or customary is other terms used to deny paying claims by insurance companies.

That last part about the phone conversation concerns me, in the way that this could be a slippery slope into controlling speech of your adversaries.

[beefortebrea]

These news videos are a distraction from what's actually going on.

[QuestiontheNarrative]

I thought we already knew he was accused...

[MichaelPerillo-csrw]

I have no idea why the legacy media keeps talking about this. I know I could literally care less. Makes me think this is a distraction story while some real shit is going down in the shadows

Remember folks:
1) Juries can’t be punished for a ‘wrong’ decision.
2) A not-guilty defendant can’t be tried again for the same crime.
3) Therefore, even if the defendant is technically guilty by the letter of the law, the jury can nullify the law by finding the defendant not-guilty.
4) So if we agree with the actions of the defendant even though they are illegal, we can find him not-guilty and let the defendant go free.

Bro how many days in a row can we get of this story? Move on

[Michael-hbip]

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that they found the guy at McDonald's where Trump and Elon Musk seem to visit often. Maybe this is a new conspiracy theory?

If Brian Thompson was indeed Evil then Luigi Showed that He's just as Evil.

[nickolaspittroff]

Isn’t it wild that the media shows the footage of them taking him into the jail but you don’t get to hear what he was yelling? Go find the unedited clip where you can listen to what he’s yelling.

[ilzitek]

I do not think this man is the same who did the crime.

[elilevine]

They just stepped on the first amendment, people are allowed to use that combination of words. It does not mean they’re going to carry out the same act.

[simpleman]

That is complete bullshit that this lady has been charged. The only thing she said was delayed deny or whatever she never said a threat she never threatened to hurt anyone.

[NotYourSafeSpace]

This reporter is trying SO HARD to sound like your basic run of the mill brainless, news anchor lol.

[alabamaflip]

So the thought police are alive and well.

[jackonorey]

BS merchants trying to wriggle on nonsense facts to exonerate a murderer. awful.

[ronwaggoner]

If this guy gets enough fame and public sympathy - Trump will pardon him and appoint him to a Cabinet post or maybe even ambassador to Italy!!!
