Doesn’t it seem strange that the suspected shooter of UnitedHealthcare Chief Executive Brian Thompson in Manhattan last week was an anti-capitalist but found eating in a McDonald’s?
Police say that the suspect is 26 year-old Luigi Mangione. He is an Ivy League graduate with a high IQ and yet he left a trail of clues like Hansel and Gretel.
He left the scene of the crime on a traceable e-bike and was found at a McDonald’s with a fake ID and carrying the murder weapon, having written a whole anticapitalist manifesto against the American healthcare system. And he is model-handsome, prompting an unhealthy online fandom.
It just seems…hard to believe.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro warned against celebrating the killing and against idolizing Mangione as a hero. He also signed bombs to Ukraine so his moralizing rings hollow.
