I got the impression that the murder was his way of objecting to the whole system of legalized extortion that is our medical/insurance industry.

He's an idiot then.

Isn't McDonalds licensed to hold lotteries to issue Presidential pardons since Trump got elected? Maybe he was in McDonalds buying pardon scratchers.

Or perhaps, as others have suggested, the whole McDonalds-employee-recognizing-him story is total bollocks, just a cover for the real way they were able to locate Luigi under the Golden Arches.

After all, the authorities can’t publicly admit the level of Orwellian surveillance tech they likely used to find him, thereby violating all kinds of laws and moral boundaries. They can’t disclose their parallel construction. That would cause an outcry, and their masters are already trying to clean up the outcry over insurance companies…

Yes, the Panoptic Surveillance State is alive and well, hiding in plain sight. ...

People have scoured his social media accounts, from Goodreads to YouTube, finding extensive evidence supporting what was claimed in his manifesto.

Users have also found, reportedly, some rather anomalous things…




... Because yet another angle here, that makes things interesting, is that of Luigi’s family.
They are a powerhouse Baltimore Italian-American family, with their tentacles in many real estate and healthcare ventures across the state.

But aside from Luigi’s economic advantages, he’s also got some political connections, as he’s cousins with Republican Maryland House of Delegates member Nino Mangione.

You know who also has a lot of power and prestige in the Baltimore area?

The D’Alesandros - the family of former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

Is that the same Nancy Pelosi who would potentially be implicated in a DOJ probe? Was Brian Thompson going to spill the beans on all kinds of insider trading with top-level Democrats and Republicans?

How far will the investigation into UnitedHealth Group, the world’s largest healthcare company by revenue, really go?

As I noted in my post this morning—Did Luigi Mangione Want to Be Caught?—six days after he allegedly murdered UHC CEO Brian Thompson, Luigi Mangione dined in a McDonald’s 280 miles from the crime scene, wearing the same clothing he apparently wore on the day of the murder, with multiple incriminating objects still in his possession, including a 9 mm pistol and a handwritten manifesto the NYPD is regarding as akin to a confession.

At the time he was arrested in McDonald’s, he was wearing the same black jacket and blue surgical mask as the young man who was photographed getting into a taxi on the Upper West Side shortly after 7:00 a.m. on the morning Thompson was shot. However, while dining in McDonald’s, Mangione was also wearing a stocking cap, but he didn’t pull it down quite low enough to conceal his conspicuously bushy eyebrows. One wonders why he didn’t wear this stocking cap (pulled all the way down over his eyebrows) when he got into the cab. If he had done so, he might have evaded capture.

To my knowledge as of this writing, the police have not shared any photographs of the manifesto with the press. So far, it appears the police have only made verbal representations to the press that they found a 262-word manifesto in Mangione’s possession. The document purportedly states that healthcare companies “continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it … I do apologise for any strife or trauma but it had to be done. These parasites had it coming.”

Did the high school valedictorian and University of Pennsylvania graduate experience some kind of mental breakdown that resulted in him committing murder without taking the most elementary steps to dispose of evidence that would incriminate him?

I honestly looked through the "Ivy" tweets and part of me thinks is satire.

Two local police officers nabbed Mangione while he was munching fries in an Altoona, Pennsylvania McDonalds. (He’s probably not MAHA.) According to unconfirmed reports, even though Mangione was wearing his blue surgical face mask, an anonymous tipster recognized his distinctive eyebrows.

Even before he was spotted in the McDonalds I believe the FBI always knew exactly where he was. As I also suspected with Patty Hearst back in the day, they just want to see if they come in contact with more associates. Then some tipster just happens to turn them in. Really?
Even with the Unibomber: when LAX went buzerk about planes being bombed on the news relentlessly for a week saying he was going to attack; I said to my friends. OMG they know who the Unabomber is; they are just making sure we all are familiar with the story before they magically find an excuse to expose his whereabouts and arrest him. Same with Magione.

Sources had said the gunman in the shooting used a fake New Jersey ID with the same name "Marc Rosario" when he checked into a Manhattan hostel last month.

With 25 years of travel, I've NEVER been asked for an ID at a hotel domestically. I don't do hostels, but they're basically a yuppie hotel. They want a credit card. Foreign they need the passport at check in is one thing. Even if they did there's no chance they'd make a copy/scan of it.

I smell bull shit. Tell me I'm wrong, but I'm in a hotel about once a month on average. Never had an ID request domestically.

I've definitely been asked for ID at US hotels.

Welcome back, @casandra

Yes, I think that their tracking abilities are better than they let on, because if they let on, people would know how to evade them.

And there's the possibility that he was set up by the FBI, or maybe by Pelosi as yet another trading opportunity:

The deep state knows where we all are - why do you think "they" were pushing Obamaphones to people too poor and too old to afford or want smartphones? With a MAC ID and a GPS location, death by SWAT or drone is a FISA rubber-stamp warrant away. Every second, your phone pings a GPS location if enabled.

The only thing that blocks cell phone and GPS signals is a 100% ferromagnetic (solid steel) enclosure. I've tried it - those mylar things don't work too well in comparison.
