131: From Privilege to Prison. The Popularity of Luigi Mangione. Eve Eurydice w Porochista Khakpour
Manage episode 457474905 series 2565624
Eurydice and Porochista discuss the phenomenon of Luigi Mangione, suddenly the most popular, most photographed killer in the world.
Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty to the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He allegedly shot him from the back outside the Hilton Hotel in midtown Manhattan on Dec 4th at 535am. The shooting was caught on camera. The suspect got drink at Starbucks, sat on a bench, used a cellphone, stepped out between two parked cars, shot Mr Thompson from the back, fled on an e bike to Central Park with a gray backpack which had Monopoly money in it. He tossed the backpack in the park, took taxi to G W bus terminal, left the city on bus. On Dec 9, 5 days later, at 914am a worker at Altoona McDonald’s called the police and reported a man who looked like the suspect. Luigi was caught with a 9mm home-printed pistol, a silencer, a handwritten manifesto expressing hostility toward the health care industry and its executives. He was brought to NYC by helicopter in a military posse, in a show of force attended by Mayor Adams meant to intimidate anyone who might commit a copycat killing. NYC set up a hotline for corporate executives who were threatened. The police wanted Luigi in handcuffs filmed by AP. FOX news depicted Luigi as the worst of murderers, unlike Kyle Rittenhouse in 2017 who was found innocent and Daniel Penny, found innocent in 2024.
Luigi M is held in downtown Brooklyn jail where P Diddy and Sam Bankman Fried are kept.
Luigi Mangione, 26, is an Ivy League graduate from Maryland charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. A valedictorian at Baltimore’s Gilman School, he earned dual engineering degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and worked as a data engineer at TrueCar until 2023. Despite his privileged background, Mangione harbored grievances against the healthcare system, as revealed in a manifesto found during his arrest at an Altoona McDonald’s where he was apprehended in Pennsylvania with his weapon, fake IDs etc. The Federal charges make him eligible for the death penalty if convicted.
Eurydice: “There is a direct ideological line from Occupy Wall Street to Black lives Matter to Bernie, MAGA, the election results of 2016 and of 2024 to Luigi Mangione. The same DOJ that abused the justice system to criminalize Trump and Penny has indicted this alleged shooter on terrorism charges and both state and federal murder charges in a judicial overkill that those of us who despise the authoritarian state should protest. An opinion cannot, by definition, be extremist if a majority of the population holds the same view.”
