Summary

Luigi Nicholas Mangione, 26, was charged with murder in the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan.

    They’ll kill him. They’ll set an example… only for him to become a martyr. Or one can hope, anyways.

      I suspect that, for exactly that reason, they’ll just lock him up and try to forget about him.

        They’ll make a documentary about him, where the overriding theme is that we all have something to lose. in a few years, maybe.
