In a shocking revelation, court documents have unveiled a "manifesto" penned by Luigi Mangione, the accused in the murder case of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The manifesto, filled with vitriol against the healthcare industry, discloses Mangione's motivations for targeting Thompson and his earlier plans for a devastating bombing.
As reported by The Post Millennial, the court documents provide a glimpse into Mangione's writings discovered in a notebook in his backpack. The arrest occurred at a Pennsylvania McDonald's, a few days after Thompson was fatally shot at close range in New York City. Mangione's writings revealed his desire to make "headlines" by choosing to "wack the CEO" of the healthcare behemoth.
Mangione's notebook entries offer a chilling insight into his thought process. "So say you want to rebel against the deadly, greed fueled health insurance cartel. Do you bomb the HQ? No. Bombs=terrorism, he wrote. He further suggested that a more targeted approach would be to wack [sic] the CEO at the annual parasitic bean-counter convention. Its targeted and precise and doesnt risk innocents."
In other parts of his manifesto, Mangione identified UnitedHealthcare and other health insurance companies as targets, accusing them of "[extracting] human life force for money." He also contemplated a mass casualty event, expressing relief that his procrastination allowed him to learn more about UnitedHealthcare.
Mangione's writings also hint at a potential attack in Maryland, his home state. In MD wouldve been an unjustified catastrophe that would be perceived mostly as sick, but more importantly unhelpful, he noted. While his plans for a mass casualty event remain unclear, he acknowledged the potential for innocent lives to be lost. "The point is made in the news headline Insurance CEO killed at annual investors conference," he wrote. "It conveys a greedy bastard that had it coming."
Mangione also speculated on the public's reaction to the killing of a CEO like Thompson. He wrote, Members of the public can focus on greed, on the event through reasonable acceptable discussion." His writings also included praise for the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, albeit with some criticism.
Mangione wrote, "For example, Ted K makes some good points on the future of humanity, but to make his point he indiscriminately mailbombs innocents. Normies categorize him as an insane serial killer, focus on the act/atrocities themselves, and dismiss his ideas.
Upon his arrest, Mangione also left a note asserting his solitary involvement in the act. He wrote, To the Feds, Ill keep this short because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly I wasnt working with anyone. This was fairly trivial, some elementary social engineering, basic [computer aided design], and a lot of patience."
In the note, he also apologized for any distress caused, but justified his actions by stating, "it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming."
Mangione's lawyers are currently seeking to exclude the notebook writings as evidence, arguing that their client was not read his constitutional rights upon arrest.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers faced by those in positions of power, particularly in industries often criticized for their perceived greed and lack of empathy.
