Who is Luigi Mangione, suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson killing

The suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been identified as Luigi Nicholas Mangione — a 26-year-old Ivy League grad and seething anti-capitalist, cops and sources said.

Mangione, who is originally from Maryland, was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania after a quick-thinking employee alerted authorities to his whereabouts on Monday, police said.

He was ordered held without bail during his arraignment in a Pennsylvania court Monday evening.

The suspect was found with a a ghost gun, mask and writings linking him to last week’s deadly ambush outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel that sparked a massive days-long manhunt.

FBI was real fast with this one, why have they taken so long with the Epstein list?

[skylartek]

"Motive remains unclear" i think is just saying "We refuse to acknowledge the issue at hand"

[Jay-rn]

There are 25000 homicides a year in the U.S. It seems strange that we pick and choose the ones that involve the wealthy or the well-connected to solve quickly and focus on.

Crime doesn't pay!
Unless you're a politician!

[tingli]

Luigi, currently known as the "Hero of the silent majority" willing to sacrifice himself to challenge the oligarchic US society.

[matty]

honesty i dont even think this looks like the same guy. every picture NYPD has spread has been a different dude

[IIBeefII]

If he’s just a suspect, he should be allowed to run for president.

[ryanbareither]

No jury of his peers will find him guilty.

[danieltam]

I don't see valid evidence. They got the wrong person.

[ComputerEarly]

It's incredible I've seen Libs and Conservatives actually agree on this whole issue

[CalebDavidWilliams]

This guys whole family, friends, and past associates saw his face posted online and said nothing. Meanwhile some random McDonald’s employee made him. That’s wild.

[adamprieto]

McDonald’s sure does have a rat problem.

It's a shame to see how America treats it's heroes

[nivisalba]

Our healthcare system sux. We don't blame the kid

[dylanhill]

America is in her Marie Antoinette era.

[iSPELLinAMERICAN]

Why they try so hard for this rich guy? They don't try this hard for you every day families, victims of murdered as well. But because he's rich they take out all the skills. And you're telling me this guy made it that far without getting caught he had everything incriminating with him at McDonald's?

[Booo]

This was a necessary evil. But he ain’t evil, Luigi just sick of the system like the rest of us who can barely get by!

[Kodycares]

Lets not forget the hundreds of people's life's the CEO ended with his greed, it's still not an eye for an eye.

[moonlight]

First time I've seen media not use the word "Alleged"

[glhmedic]

There should be a go fund me account for him. He would have to worry about legal costs or health care cost.
