An extremely smart young man, Mangione's educational background reads similar to that of the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. Prior to graduating from high school, Mangione was enrolled in a pre-collegiate studies program at Stanford. After graduating from high school with honors, he attended University of Pennsylvania, where he studied and received both a bachelors and masters degree in computer science with an emphasis on AI. Interestingly, slain UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was at the vanguard of the healthcare industry's use of AI in the evaluation of health insurance claims. Smart, attractive, seemingly well liked, Mangione was the kid next door on his way up in the world. Until now.

1. And he's on Twitter

There's an image on the top, it's showing what I think is spondylolisthesis and a spinal fusion treatment.

2. Mangione gave the Unabomber's Manifesto 4 stars on Goodreads

[TheProle]

3. Maybe he can get his Supermax cell

[Prairie Gates]

5. Is there a federal charge here?

Also read a bunch of books on Musk, and Hillbilly Elegy (only three stars for that one, though).

[Sneederbunk]

7. Perhaps crossing state lines to commit a crime.

[soandso]

25. I'd give it five

But I'm not as smart as Luigi who may have picked up a couple of flaws in Ted's treatise.

Seriously though, what a waste of Luigi's life. The people who know him must be in shock.

[soandso]

34. In his writings they found

He apologized for any trauma the murder may have caused but said "it had to be done".

[dweller]

4. He's on Facebook

And instagram also


✌🏻

6. .

9. "Human immortality".

I guess shooting someone in the back ruins the immortality thought.

[Blues Heron]

14. I wonder if that back surgery soured him on the healthcare experience, if thats his x-ray

[Silent Type]

17. If it is, looks like he got treatment. Unfortunately, that kind of injury/treatment doesn't necessarily remove pain, etc

Maybe the drugs he had to take affected him.

Sounds more like a Una-bomber type, but it's a bit early to know.

[soandso]

35. I'd say his sex symbol status

will hold.

[rubbersole]

8. Luigi seems to make a good poster boy for failed private schools.

Only $40K a year tuition couldn't keep the riff-raff out of his prep school. If it was supplemented by taxpayer money we wouldn't have this problem...oh, wait...help is on the way. WWE approved curriculum should solve this character building failure.

[Omnipresent]

10. He kinda looks like chuck Mangione.

I wonder if that’s his grandson?

[Tanuki]

21. No, his grandpa was a self-made real estate magnate

Sorry to link to Daily Mail, but they're the only ones who have fleshed out the background so far.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14175083/amp/Luigi-Mangione-heir-holiday-resort-fortune-created-grandparents-sister-whos-doctor.html

"The suspected killer of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson is the heir to a holiday resort fortune created by his grandparents - and the brother of a top doctor.

Luigi Mangione, 26, comes from a powerful Maryland family centered around the late patriarch Nicholas Mangiano, a first-generation American who built a real estate empire in the state that included country clubs and media.

Nicholas, who died in 2008 aged 83 after suffering a stroke, was the owner of Turf Valley Resort and Hayfields Country Club, as well as the radio station at the WCBM-AM.

Nicholas was born in Baltimore's Little Italy to a poor family but worked his way up from nothing. He also founded the nursing home Lorien Health Services. Luigi volunteered at his grandpa's nursing home in 2014, according to his LinkedIn."...(more)

36. I think he looks like a Cuomo

Especially Chris who also has that hot bod. Not trying to objectify or anything but it is what it is.

[struggle4progress]

11. ...

[PeaceWave]

12. This guy left a surprisingly long trail online.

[alittlelark]

13. He looks a lot like my ex-husband did when we were in HS

Bizzaro - the 2 couldn’t be more different except for Stanford.

[Silent Type]

15. Maybe an incel like the guy that shot at trump in Pennsylvania.

[PeaceWave]

16. Not likely.

[soandso]

31. Don't think so

Here he is on Japan's suicidal population decline:

Luigi Mangione
@PepMangione
Apr 18
Modern Japanese urban environment is an evolutionary mismatch for the human animal.

The solution to falling birthdates isn’t immigration. It’s cultural.

Encourage natural human interaction, sex, physical fitness and spirituality:
* ban Tenga fleshlights and “Japan Real Hole” custom pornstar pocket pussies being sold in Don Quixote grocery stores
* replace conveyor belt sushi and restaurant vending machine ordering, with actual human interaction with a waiter
* replace 24/7 eSports cafes where young males earn false fitness signals via Tekken fighting and Overwatch shooting games, with athletics in school
* heavily stigmatize maid cafes where lonely salarymen pay young girls to dress as anime characters and perform anime dances for them
* revitalize traditional Japanese culture (Shintoism, Okinawan karate, onsen, etc)

18. Such a waste. His heart was in the right place, but now he'll pay for what he did for the

rest of his life. Such a brilliant young man .

[leftstreet]

19. But apparently too dumb to know fast food workers would need the reward $$

He either wanted to get caught or his manifesto didn't cover motivations brought on by working class material conditions

[PeaceWave]

20. Something went sideways with this kid over the last 2 years.

[Tanuki]

23. Sounds like he had withdrawn and some of his

friends/loved ones were worried.


https://www.thedailybeast.com/person-of-interest-luigi-mangiones-loved-ones-expressed-concern-about-him-before-killing-are-y/

"Person of Interest Luigi Mangione’s Loved Ones Raised Alarm Days Before CEO Killing: ‘Are You OK?’

"Worried loved ones reached out to the Ivy League graduate named as a person of interest in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killing days before the executive was executed outside of a New York City hotel.

One of Luigi Mangione’s loved ones shared a message on X to let him know that he cared about him and “missed him” on Nov. 25, a day after the shooter was believed to have arrived in Manhattan on a Greyhound bus.

“Thinking of you and prayers everyday in your name,” wrote user @Collin30923201P on Nov. 25. “Know you are missed and loved.”

Another suggested that loved ones had been concerned about his whereabouts the month prior.

“@PepMangione Hey, are you ok? Nobody has heard from you in months, and apparently your family is looking for you,” wrote X user @TheRealMandusa on Oct. 30 on the platform.

The account, which uses the name P. Collins, also tweeted out Mangione‘s LinkTree. It has since been made private."...(more)

[Bonx]

22. Yet something inside him was horribly broken

[LeftInTX]

24. Rich on Rich Crime! Wealthy Gen-Z kills Wealthy Gen X!

[Demovictory9]

26. Private school valedictorian, masters on comp sci, program lead at stanford. Educated guy

[BeerBarrelPolka]

30. Correct

Yet in some ways, apparently dumb as a box of rocks.

[bucolic_frolic]

27. Wealth breeds a God Complex

Most sublimate or keep it hidden, or the manifestations are minimal, such as condescension, arrogance, projection. It can go extremely awry obviously.

[MustLoveBeagles]

32. What a waste 😞

[zorbasd]

37. Yeah, had everything, smarts, good looks, physically athletic,

wealthy, caring family, most probably great with girls, but yet, chose the path to destruction.

[MustLoveBeagles]

39. You read my mind

[keithbvadu2]

33. Affluenza?

[LAS14]

38. I'm willing to entertain the possibility that...

... a sane person, with cogent beliefs can commit an act of civil disobedience (well, maybe "civil" is the wrong word) and should be held accountable, and expects to be held accountable. I wish I were better at history, so I could cite examples.
