The attack on the 50-year-old executive—allegedly by the now 27-year-old Luigi Mangione—immediately sparked an outpouring of public fury not at the gunman, but at UnitedHealthcare itself.

    Makes a ghost gun. Keeps it, doesn’t dispose of it. Walks around in public with said gun on his person, as well as a “manifesto.” Gets “caught” because of his fake id that a McDonald’s cashier clocked.

    Yeah. He totally did it.

      Also, a guy with really severe back pain is totally going to ride a Citibike on NYC potholed streets.

        Right? Thinking Luigi is guilty is basically the irl version of “Aurora Borealis, at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?”

          The story has changed a couple times, but I thought it was always about an employee or a customer calling it in because they recognized him, or he was acting shady. Then the cops come and he gives them a fake ID that matches the one of the hostel person.

            They originally said they saw the fake id on the table, alongside the manifesto. Idk about you, but i can totally make out the text of an id on a table using peripheral vision as i pass.

                Yesiree! When you’re the subject of the largest current manhunt in the country, make sure you take all the damning evidence and play with it.

                  In the game, we call that a conviction starter package. Everything a prosecutor needs to do his or her job, all in one backpack with nation wide weeks long narrative shaping operation executed via all media formats.

                  Everything is normal, it makes sense 🤡

                What you don’t take incriminating evidence of your worst felonies to your local Burger Shoppe and just start showing that shit off?

                I figured we all did that.

          Now that you bring it up, they probably should make you sign some sort of medical consent form before you consume their awful food.
