Police questioning a man in Pennsylvania in connection with killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO, law enforcement officials say
(CNN) –– A man arrested Monday on a gun charge in Pennsylvania “is believed to be our person of interest in the brazen, targeted murder of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, last Wednesday in Midtown Manhattan,” New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced.
A partial fingerprint and DNA recovered during the search have so far not yielded matches when compared against law enforcement databases, according to a law enforcement official
This got rushed....
Meanwhile the NYPD specifically and law enforcement in general has a massive backlog of untested rape kits they can't even quantify because they're spread out in hospital closets all over the place without even a comprehensive index.
The fact that NYPD is fast tracking this is exactly why everyone hates law enforcement.
There's a different set of rules for the wealthy than everyone else, and a different set of punishments.
Anytime a wealthy person is the criminal it takes years (if ever) to see a court date. If the victim is a wealthy person everything else gets thrown out the window.
If the guy had raped the CEO first, do you think they'd suddenly fly through all those rape kits?
That video would be uploaded on pornhub and many straight man might find it interesting
everyone
Working off of a tip, police stopped a person traveling by bus and recovered a suppressor and a number of false IDs, one of the officials added.
Snitches get stitches
But also, if this is the guy, the moment they release his name it's gonna become memorialized
A GoFundMe for legal defense would break the interenet, and I gotta feel like this guy knows that...
Also, for anyone wondering why he'd ditch a gun and save a suppressor, it's because suppressors are federally registered. In many states a gun can show up and be connected to a crime, and they can just say it was sold to someone and they do t remember/know the buyers name.
A silencer has accountability and would need a paper trail showing a transfer of ownership.
Edit:
Apparently other sources say he had the fun too:
But still, it's crazy we dont have a federal gun registry and not all states have them either.
But I don't want the gubernment to have a registry showing my five guns that I constantly describe in detail to everyone and photograph regularly for lib-owning Christmas cards on social media. If there were a registry, they could use that information to send more of their government-manned guns against me, a single person with fewer hands than I have guns. Can't you see that this unreasonably risky lapse in information is all about MY safety???
I don't have a wealth of gun knowledge, but I read at least one report right after the shooting naming the type of pistol and why suspect chose it (because it had a long barrel that worked as a suppressor without having to attach/buy one). It even stated that because of the obscurity of the pistol it would 1) narrow down the amount of people owning one 2) would likely be someone with a good knowledge of firearms and well thoughout plan.
The handwritten manifesto found on the person of the man detained in Altoona criticized health care companies for putting profits above care, according to a senior law enforcement official.
The man who was detained at McDonald’s showed the police the same fake New Jersey identification 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.
Oh shit it’s him.
the same fake new jersy identification
You fool!
Welp, at least the silver lining is that they didn't randomly accuse a scapegoat.
Let the Nullification begin!
He’s going to be villified badly by the media.
They’ll probably give him a mental health diagnosis so they can argue he wasn’t sane. It would be too dangerous for them to accept him as sane.
Kind of like Kacyznski’s political diagnosis of “schizophrenia” after he killed the CEO of a logging company. Which was called a “political diagnosis” by his post-trial prisoner psychiatrist.
News on NYC TV says that NYC cops and district attorneys are making all speed to Altoona. When you get the DA out of his office....
I hope the snitch gets found out too
Um... lets not target someone who is potentially just unwittingly being a useful idiot.
Not everyone understands the entire situation, given how much propaganda the media has to make people sympathize with this mass murderer CEO. Whoever gave the tip is an idiot, and should be ashamed of themselves, but lets not incite violence against them, they are just a victim of propaganda.
Why keep all that evidence on him?
Do everything like a pro but botch last leg?
If that's the guy that pulled down the mask, then he was not really a pro.
But... at least that smile got us memes.
May the meme format last forever
The picture of the guy smiling and the shooter don't match.
Different backpack color
Jackets don't match, one has front pocket, other doesn't
Anyone who could pull the hit and escape without a trace would not be dumb enough to carry around the evidence with him in a public place instead of ditching the evidence and laying low.
What was pro about this?
The wishful thinking.
I don't think shooting a man in the street and then escaping with an e-bike is how the pros do it.
The bicycle thing reminded me of Grosse Point Blank https://youtu.be/eTdzD3R4mg0
Dang. If I were to do something like this I would totally not show up anywhere I wouldn't usually go for 2 weeks.
All he needs to do is run for President.
With the stakes being what they've now become, does it matter if they truly found the guy or can prove it was him?
Most importantly who will accept any alternative truth posed about the situation?
Welp, they announced the suspect. Luigi Mangione, 26. Here is his possible twitter. The eyebrows seem to match 😔
Wow that was quick. His fb and linkin tree are still up for anyone curious
In the Mario + Rabbids series, Luigi is a sniper. His vacuum a rifle.
I don't know if a healthcare CEO assassin eating at McDonalds lines up.
