… IMO this man is clearly not your workaday nutbar. He's a bit evolved …

Joseph Kenny, the chief of detectives, describes Mangione as born and raised in Maryland, with ties to San Francisco, and says he lived in Honolulu, Hawaii, until recently. He has no known criminal record in New York, Kenny says.

The photo the police released of the suspect showing his face was the key to capturing Mangione, Joseph Kenny, the chief of detectives, says. The gun had the ability to fire a 9 millimeter bullet and may have been made with a 3-D printer, he says.

So why Brian Thompson?

And who else?

 

[Baby baby Jane]

Speechless..

 

[Vaderman]

Per Press Conference:
Has ill will toward corporate America

 

[BrianJohnson]

If he had back problems/was refused payouts etc that might explain why he shot BT in the back not the head “feel some of my pain before you die”

 

[rizzo0904]

He's smart, handsome, young...he just threw his life away...and the life of BT....for what?

 

[citygirl]

My apologies. He is the right guy. Thought he lived in Philly. From MD

 

[Vaderman]

Press Conference:
Do not believe he was planning on fleeing the county.
Suspect was sitting there eating at the McDonald's. Employee called it in.

Hopefully none of his fanbase online harasses the McDonald's employees.
