The horrific murder of a healthcare CEO on the streets of New York City in early December has captivated the nation—and appalled all decent folk.
After a days-long manhunt, police nabbed the suspect, 26-year-old University of Pennsylvania graduate Luigi Mangione, at a McDonald’s in Altoona, PA, after he allegedly gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside of his midtown Manhattan hotel. Now it turns out the San Francisco police department had ID’d him days before his capture and had contacted the FBI:

Four days before the man who allegedly shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City was arrested in Pennsylvania, the San Francisco police recognized the alleged shooter as Luigi Mangione, according to a report…
The two sources were not authorized to speak on the matter and reportedly spoke to the publication on condition of anonymity.
They told the Chronicle that an officer in the police department’s Special Victims Unit reportedly looked at the surveillance images released after the shooting and recognized Mangione as the suspect on Dec. 5.
Mangione’s mother had reported her son missing and that she hadn’t spoken to him since July; that’s why he was on their radar.
In another twist, it turns out that the suspected cold-blooded murderer wasn’t even a client of UnitedHealthcare.
The man charged with shooting and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City was not a client of the insurance company, according to a representative from the major corporation.
On Thursday, FOX Business received confirmation from UnitedHealthcare that Luigi Mangione was not covered by the company.

Apparently, he just chose his victim because of the size of the company:
“We have no indication that he was ever a client of United Healthcare, but he does make mention that it is the fifth largest corporation in America, which would make it the largest healthcare organization in America. So that’s possibly why he targeted that company,” Kenny said.
Kenny suggested the alleged shooter may have targeted the company because of its size and influence.
The Associated Press reported that while UnitedHealthcare is in the top 20 largest companies in the U.S. by market capitalization, it is not the fifth largest. It is, on the other hand, the largest health insurer in the U.S.
Although Mangione had back problems (which didn’t seem to be bothering too much when he shot Thompson or struggled with police while being escorted into the courthouse), it would seem that he just picked out a random executive of an industry he wasn’t happy with. This is what the far left is celebrating: folks like extremist “journalist” Taylor Lorenz and the many progressive politicians who are indicating they think his sick actions were at least partially justifiable, “inevitable,” or “understandable.”
Folks like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Dem Sen. Elizabeth Warren (MA), Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, and tens of thousands of violence-obsessed psychopaths on the internet.

This is a dangerous time we live in, and while Joe Biden spent four years demonizing MAGA and the so-called White Supremacist threat (which never really materialized), it’s leftists who are calling for ever more bloodshed.
There is absolutely nothing heroic or justifiable with what Mangione allegedly did, and if he is guilty of this crime, he should never see anything other than prison walls ever again.
