Within hours of his apprehension in Pennsylvania in connection with the cold-blooded murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, scads of information rolled out about the life and times of suspect Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old man who has been accused of the killing, and in a very short period of time, the Internet being a fast medium.
We’ve seen pictures of his family, and heard their statements of shock and regret at the news. We learned he grew up wealthy, the son of the owner of two resorts near Baltimore. We learned he once worked in a nursing home owned by his family.
[article goes on to list all the minutia we learned about Luigi in such a short time…]
It’s in striking contrast to the last high-profile killer who came to our attention last July, Thomas Crooks, another young man with a similar background. But we hear nothing of the level of information Mangione got from this miserable freak — little about his political motivations, which political party he identified with, what his political views were, who his friends were, nothing about his very strange family.
