Anti-capitalist Luigi Mangione and his Achilles heel McDonalds 😭

Legally speaking, the #LuigiMangione case at first appears straightforward. Man A is on camera killing Man B. There is forensic evidence and a manifesto. But my goodness, the complexity surrounding the defendant and the subsequent conversations about ethics is unprecedented.

I don’t understand how this can air without prejudicing the trial.

From the NY Post: He’s a legend in his own mind.  Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League grad accused of assassinating United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a midtown Manhattan sidewalk, displayed a pattern of “grandiose” behavior associated with personality disorders like narcissism and sociopathy, mental health experts told The Post.  “There’s a level of grandiosity in his decision that his own opinions would merit his complete disregard for some of the most basic laws of our society. . . . and this sense of permission to take a man’s life into his own hands,” said Manhattan psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael.  “For him to imagine himself as this ‘hero’ — it raises questions for me about a personality disorder that’s along the lines of narcissism,” Carmichael continued.  When cops nabbed Mangione, 26, at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s on Monday, he was reportedly in possession of a three-page manifestoin which he raged over “parasitic” health insurance companies and expressed disdain for corporate greed and power, law enforcement sources told The Post.  Dr. Alyson Cohen, a New York City psychotherapist, likened Mangione to serial killers Ted Bundy and Charles Manson, who exhibited symptoms of “antisocial personality disorder,” formerly known as sociopathy.  “Antisocial personality disorder is when people lack the ability to have empathy and compassion for other humans. With a cold-blooded killer, the cold-bloodedness is literally a lack of emotional consideration,” Cohen explained.  “I don’t think that someone who feels deeply on an emotional level would be okay with shooting someone in the head,” Cohen added.  Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman, on the other hand, believes Mangione was simply depressed by chronic back pain. “Clearly this is someone who was planning on going out and conquering the world. So does he have some grandiosity? Yes. But I do not think he was a sociopath,” Lieberman opined. Instead, “he felt like time was running out for him to accomplish his dreams, which is why chose to murder Brian Thompson.” All three mental health experts ruled out schizophrenia, which can suddenly afflict young men, citing a lack of evidence that Mangione suffered from delusions or hallucinations, telltale signs of the disorder. Additionally, it’s unlikely that a schizophrenic person would have been able to pull off such meticulous planning, they said.

You won’t convince me Luigi Mangione is a hero. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He could’ve gone to law school and devoted his entire career to fighting for the little guy. He could have fought insurance companies for the next 50 years. There are so many ways he could’ve made positive change. Instead, he threw it all away and murdered Brian Thompson in cold blood.

@HYPER_TTB Stealing a living! 🤣

These experts literally get zero respect or thanks from me this year they’ve sat back and let the car crash explode and done nothing to out the flames they have a lot to answer for this year it’s disgusting #MAFSUK

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza. If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time. End all arms sales to Israel, now.
