Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League grad turned murder suspect, apparently treated his crime like a twisted homework assignment.
Before allegedly shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last week, Mangione jotted down a disturbing “to-do list” in a spiral notebook, law enforcement sources say.
No Bombs, Just “Bean Counting” Conferences
In his notes, Mangione reportedly dismissed using a bomb because it “could kill innocents.” Instead, he opted for a shooting, targeting the “CEO at his own bean counting conference.” The phrase alone has investigators treating this as a chilling confession.
The notebook adds another layer to Mangione’s manifesto, a 262-word screed railing against America’s healthcare system. Unlike the Unabomber’s infamous 35,000-word rant, Mangione kept his concise—because who has time for word counts when you’re planning something this sinister?
A Calculated Attack and Zero Regrets
In his manifesto, Mangione allegedly admitted to acting alone and detailed how “elementary social engineering” and a lot of patience helped him pull off the attack. While he apologized for “traumas” caused to bystanders, his remorse stopped there. He described his target as a “parasite” who “had it coming.”
His gripe? The U.S. healthcare system, which he called the most expensive in the world, delivering life expectancy rankings that fail to impress. For context, America ranked 40th globally in 2020, while citizens shelled out an average of $12,318 per person annually for healthcare.
Mangione’s grim writing, paired with his alleged actions, paints a dark portrait of a man whose grievances turned into violence. The question now is: Was this cold-blooded revenge, or a twisted attempt at social commentary?
