Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old arrested on gun charges at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania, has become a person of interest in the murder case of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. But what has brought his name into the spotlight is not just the shocking crime, but also a seemingly unrelated incident from earlier this year.
It has been discovered that a Goodreads account under the name of Luigi Mangione, with matching photos, left a four-star review for the manifesto of infamous domestic terrorist Ted Kaxzynski, also known as the Unabomber. In the review, Mangione praises Kaxzynski's writing style and the bold questions he poses about modern society. However, he also acknowledges the violence and harm caused by the Unabomber's actions.
This discovery has raised many questions about Mangione's potential motives and extremist views. Was his admiration for Kaxzynski's work just an innocent appreciation for intellectual writing, or does it reveal deeper, more concerning beliefs? These questions have only been compounded by Mangione's arrest and the striking resemblance between his social media photos and the description of the suspect in Thompson's murder.
Mangione was taken into custody on firearm charges while reading at a McDonald's in Altoona. He was quickly identified as a person of interest in Thompson's death by New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The nationwide manhunt for the shooter came to an end when a McDonald's worker recognized Mangione and reported him to the authorities.
But who is Luigi Mangione? Born in Maryland and having ties to both San Francisco and Hawaii, he attended the prestigious Gilman School in Baltimore and was valedictorian of his high school class. He went on to earn a master's degree in engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, where he also received his bachelor's degree in engineering and computer science with a minor in mathematics.
It remains to be seen what role Mangione played in the murder of Brian Thompson and what his true intentions were in leaving the controversial review of Kaxzynski's manifesto. As the investigation continues, more details may come to light about this enigmatic figure and his potential connection to the tragic death of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.
