By the summertime, he was living in San Francisco, and his writings began to allude to his plans for fighting injustice.

'The details are finally coming together. And I don’t feel any doubt about whether it’s right/justified. I’m glad - in a way - that I’ve procrastinated, bc it allowed me to learn more about UHC,' he wrote in an August entry.

I just love how they took a fairly detailed dive by the New York Times into Luigi's travels, and sensationalized it by focusing on what amounted to a throwaway line within their reporting.

Totally.

Oh, of course. “Seven Thai Ladybirds” translates into CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK,”; so much more titillating than just another murder, right?

LM should have stayed in Thailand, or just continued travelling, enjoying the world as a free man, instead of going home to commit murder. Hoping he will feel the same way some day.

I found a picture of a cell at MDC on the Internet, and it looked so dreary. I can't imagine spending months on end there. LM seemed more somber and less cocky at his last hearing. The monotony of existing in that kind of environment must be hard to bear.

He'd probably give anything to go back in time and just continue to enjoy his comfortable, jetsetting lifestyle, meeting people abroad and indulging in whatever kind of things he was into. He could have done that for the rest of his life. Instead, he'll probably spend the rest of his years locked up in a tiny, concrete cell like a caged animal.

What a dumb guy.

Luigi Mangione attorneys blast prosecutors and NYPD for lack of evidence that mom told cops she could see her son shooting healthcare CEO

Attorneys for Luigi Mangione accused the Manhattan DA and the NYPD’s chief of detectives of not offering evidence of his mother’s alleged statement that killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was something she could see her son do, according to court documents.

This is paywalled for me. Was his back surgery and its effect on his "love life" addressed at all in this article?
It's old friends saying physical intimacy wasn't possible for him, but he had many close female friends and apparently made intimate videos. Seems quite contradictory!

Its normal life for those injured in these ways to enjoy playing without consummating so, for the spinal injured folks, it's def not contradictory. Someone I know once said "I'm injured, not dead". Lol.

I think I didn't explain very well that one friend said he couldn't be intimate but another said he was making intimate videos, so I meant it was the friends who didn't have the same story. But it's the daily mail so who knows!

Its the vocabulary... What one person means by "intimate" can be very different from what another person means by "intimate". Some use the word in lieu of "sex play", some use it to mean a "very close personal emotional relationship if affection and trust." Totally different, thought nice when they meld.

Well, if its true they made up an incriminating quote from his mother, that's very bad. An unforced error, so to speak. I admit, when I first heard that quote from the mother, it seemed very unusual.

I chose to go with a simple explanation as immaturity being the reason for this alleged murderer's fan club. moo 😒


The author forgets about a certain difference.

Ted Kaczynski’s victims were average people who opened the packages. The secretaries, the office clerks, the security guys. 23 were maimed. 3 died. It is quite possible to imagine yourself on the receiving end. CEOs don’t open packages, and Kaczynski did not care who’d be killed.

Mangione chose his victim. The victim was a CEO, and an insider trader. No one else was killed. Paradoxically, the inhabitants of NYC felt safe that day because they were not in the CEO group, and because Mangione took care not to harm anyone else.

Does it justify a murder? No.

However: the difference between Ted Kaczynski and Mangione is obvious.

And, Mangione probably is a “demented Robin Hood”, but remember the historical city-dwellers’ response: “ah, it is Robin Hood chasing the Sheriff of Nottingham again. Not us the regular folks”.

(The article is weak because the people who understand why this murder is a bad sign, can’t change anything. Today, some people support Mangione. Most don’t care either way. Very few will protect the CEOs - but only for very large money. One day, they won’t bother even for the money. It has happened in many countries. I don’t want to ever see it here).
