Here’s The Problem
Luigi Mangione’s twisted path from a well-respected Ivy League student to the alleged assassin of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was being pieced together by friends and family. The 26-year-old suspect – who was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania Monday – went ‘absolutely crazy’ after painful back surgery and explored psychedelic treatment for his chronic pain, it was revealed.
Friends said Mangione dropped off the radar when ‘everything changed’ after a surfing accident – and it has now been reported he singled out UnitedHealthcare in a ‘manifesto’ he was carrying.
- Why 2nd Degree Murder and Not First-Degree Murder?
- There is not a single gun law on the books that this individual obeyed.
- He simply did not care about the laws. Revenge was motive
- He did not follow the laws because he was intent on doing a criminal action.
- As soon as he walked out the door, he violated existing State and Federal Firearm Laws
What’s He Being Charged With
- The initial murder charge is for second-degree murder, according to the court records.
- The gun charges include unlawful possession of a loaded firearm and what appears to be a charge for possessing a suppressor.
- Carrying a Firearm Without a License
- Possess Ammunition Without an FID
- Providing False ID
