I agree, may have mental problems but not legally insane.
He was behaving like a person who knew murder was illegal. If he's convicted, any mental illness he may or may not have is not going to to get him off premeditated murder. He was taking steps like wearing masks and hoods and paying cash. He wouldn't have done those things if he was unaware of right/wrong/rules.

MOO

Edit to add: In other words, I agree with Miss Poovy.

I wonder what currency it was
EUR? if he has a passport from the EU (not sure if he does) he might have thought of hiding there at some point. Jmoo.

Playing dumb at this point is a WILD move

do we know what he was doing in Altoona? Like did he disembark there? I’ve read the McD’s was a rest stop for the bus, but would he really have the time to go inside, get food, and set up his laptop?
Why did he even sit down? Get the food and go.

To clarify, I was not insinuating he didn’t know what he was doing. However, there’s some information that points to life dysfunction. IMO

All that meticulous planning, but the eyebrow “evidence” is darn near ironclad. Who would have thought?
Next time, the perp should shave their eyebrows and draw new ones on, and remove it after the crime, so everyone will be confused.

Altoona police said Mangione has not made any statements since his arrest to their knowledge.

Altoona police said Mangione’s arrest was “peaceful”. The police approached him and asked him if he had been in NY recently and they said he had a “physical” response to that and became visibly nervous.

The suspect was just arraigned, Shapiro confirmed. And New York will file charges “very soon,” he said.

While Shapiro said the attention to the case was helpful in allowing the police to identify and find Mangione, he said the discourse online has been “deeply disturbing”.

“Some have looked to celebrate instead of condemning this killing,” Shapiro said. “Brian Thompson was a father to two, he was a husband and he was a friend to many. And yes, he was the CEO of a health insurance company. In America, we do not kill people in cold bold to resolve policy differences or express a view point. I understand people have frustrations with our healthcare system…but I have no tolerance, nor should anyone, for one man using an illegal ghost gun to murder someone because he thinks his opinion matters most. In a civil society, we are all less safe when idealogues engage in vigilante justice. In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero. Hear me on this, he is no hero. The real hero in this story is the person who called 911 in the McDonalds this morning.”

What is a "bag to block cellular data" ?
id imagine its a bag that blocks out a cell phone signal, probably used to prevent LE from tracking him

If a person like him who seems more than upper middle class can suffer due to healthcare costs cant imagine how things can be for others.

The YouTube account with his photo and name was created in January of 2024. Would it be possible for someone to have changed the name of their YouTube account to his, once news of this broke? There was a scheduled video that was apparently going to be made public around this time, but the account has since been removed.
I thought it was set for Dec. 11th?

I wonder whether he will be put on suicide watch.
I never considered he'd kill himself when found, but now after seeing those pictures I don't think he's the cocky self assured hero figure person I expected.
I think they may also do a psychiatric evaluation.

oh heavens... me too. As I was 1000% wrong on this suspect, it is a bit hard learning more....
I don't like that I am having some soft emotions about him..... just throwing his whole life away...
A hard core "paid for hire" foreign mercenary who got to some foreign country..... was easier to deal with.
