The man being questioned in Altoona in connection with the killing of Brian Thompson is Luigi Mangione, 26, according to three law enforcement officials.

Mangione, who was detained in a McDonald's this morning, was carrying identification with his name on it, along with fake I.D., one of the officials said. He has not been charged in connection with the shooting.

Italiano!
yet again why people should stop guessing ethnicity based on appearance

On the Goodreads website, Mangione’s account shows quotes he particularly likes ranging from Socrates to Bruce Lee — to wacky anti-establishment Ted Kaczynski, the infamous “Unabomber’’ who terrorized the country for nearly two decades by planting deadly bombs before he was nabbed in 1996.

This is a huge shocker that he is who he is.

Yes, I hope that person who called in gets all the reward money.
I hope so, but I hope the reward is also shared, perhaps split with the receptionist at the hostel in NYC

Haven’t checked yet. I’m digging into his family. Direct connections to the medical field. Very smart people.

What a waste of life, incredibly smart guy, no sign of any anti capitalist political ideology so something must have set him off, denied healthcare or a partner/family member denied, extraordinary someone like this would throw away at least the next 30-40 years of their life

It's beyond troubling when one of the top 0.1% minds in the country becomes a Cassandra in this way, by choosing violence. Hope this isn't somehow about the future of AI

Wow, am quite shocked with this identity reveal. It’s a UPenn CS kid. Where are his classmates? And he threw away a great career for what?????

So it was ideological like some of us believed.
