I'm so out of the loop on this and how ppl think it's cool
If you exploit, disenfranchise, and segregate the poor from having any quality of life long enough, they're going to hate their oppressors and find joy in the little moments of the rich suffering.

The worst religion on the planet isn't Christianity or Islam. It's money.

Luigi Mangione is in custody in Altoona, Pennsylvania, as a person of interest in connection with the brazen Midtown Manhattan murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week, according to authorities.

Mangione, a 26-year-old from Maryland, has been arrested by Altoona police on unrelated charges, according to authorities.

He has been charged with five crimes, including carrying a gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to authorities and possessing "instruments of crime," according to a newly released criminal complaint.

The charging document alleges that Mangione lied about his identity to police and carried the ghost gun without a license.

A suspect was charged with murder on Monday in the assassination of the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare in Midtown Manhattan, hours after he was apprehended in Pennsylvania.

Luigi Mangione, 26, has been charged in Manhattan with murder, according to online court records. He is also charged with three gun charges and forgery.

Earlier on Monday, Mr. Mangione was detained at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., by police officers who were responding to a tip from an employee. He was sitting alone with a laptop and backpack and wearing a medical mask, the complaint, filed in Pennsylvania, said. One officer asked him to pull down the mask and immediately recognized him as the person being sought.

When asked if he had been to New York recently, “the male became quiet and started to shake,” according to the complaint.

He gave them a fake ID, and when the officers told him that he could be arrested for lying about his identity, he gave his true name. Asked why he had lied, he said, “I clearly shouldn’t have,” the complaint said.

The officers took him to the Altoona police station and searched his backpack, where they found a gun and silencer, both apparently made with a 3-D printer, according to the complaint. The gun’s magazine held six bullets, and the bag held a loose hollow-point round.

Before he was charged in New York, he was arraigned in Blair County, Pa., where he was charged with five crimes, including carrying a gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to the authorities and possessing “instruments of crime,” according to the criminal complaint. He appeared in court shortly after 6 p.m. in shackles for a preliminary arraignment, where he was denied bond, and, according to Gov. Josh Shapiro, will most likely be transferred to a state correctional facility this evening.

The arraignment came about nine hours after an employee at the McDonald’s spotted Mr. Mangione, recognizing him from some of the steady stream of photos released by the police in New York, and called the authorities. “He was sitting there eating,” Joseph Kenny, the New York Police Department’s chief of detectives, said at a news briefing in the early afternoon.

The fake ID that Mr. Mangione showed the police was the same one that the man believed to be the gunman presented when he checked into a hostel on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on Nov. 24, a senior law enforcement official said.

Mr. Mangione was also carrying a handwritten manifesto that criticized health care companies for putting profits above care, according to two law enforcement officials.

Here’s what else to know:
  • The manifesto: Jessica Tisch, the commissioner of the New York Police Department, said the handwritten document spoke to Mr. Mangione’s “motivation and mind-set.” A senior law enforcement official who saw the document quoted it as saying, “These parasites had it coming” and “I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done.” The manifesto mentions UnitedHealthcare by name, noting the size of the company and how much money it makes, and also broadly condemns health-care companies for placing profits over care, the official said.
  • Mangione’s background: He grew up in Maryland and attended high school at the Gilman School in Baltimore, where he was an athlete and the valedictorian of his graduating class in 2016. His social media accounts and assorted other websites have offered a glimpse into his interests, including a background in the technology and video games industry and curiosity about self-improvement, clean eating and critiques of contemporary technology.
  • Crucial photos: The New York Police Department began releasing images of a suspect after the fatal shooting of Brian Thompson, 50, the UnitedHealthcare chief executive, last Wednesday. One photo — crucially — showed his entire face. Seeing that image, the police said, allowed the McDonald’s employee in Altoona to spot Mr. Mangione and call the local authorities.

A suspect charged with murder in New York in the assassination of the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare in Midtown Manhattan will fight extradition to New York to face murder charges, potentially keeping him in custody in Pennsylvania for weeks.

Luigi Mangione, who has been charged with killing Brian Thompson, the chief executive of UnitedHealthCare, was found with a notebook that detailed plans for the shooting, according to two law enforcement officials.

The notebook described going to a “bean-counter” conference and killing an executive, the officials said.

“What do you do? You wack the CEO at the annual parasitic bean-counter convention. It’s targeted, precise, and doesn’t risk innocents,” was one of the passages written in the notebook, the officials said.

Luigi Mangione has been indicted in New York for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the grand jury has upgraded charges to first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism, prosecutors announced Tuesday.

Mangione, 26, is also charged with: two counts of second-degree murder, one of which is charged as killing as an act of terrorism; two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree; four counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree; one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree; and one count of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree.

The slaying in the heart of Midtown Manhattan was "intended to evoke terror," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said at a news conference.
