The insurance industry is shaken after Luigi Mangione was charged in the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The perp walk for Mangione was surreal-looking and likely backfired. Mangione allegedly committed murder, but he did send a message to the insurance industry: We are pissed off.
So, the rat-fucking insurance industry put its weight on the DOJ to make an example of Mangione to deter copycat killers. And that would explain Mangione’s bizarre perp walk.
The New York Post reports:
Health insurance industry leaders leaned on the US Department of Justice to prosecute accused UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione — arguing a federal case against the twisted folk hero would act as a deterrent for possible copycat vigilante killers, sources said Friday.
The feds swooped in with a four-count complaint against Mangione in the cold-blooded killing of Brian Thompson Thursday — scuttling Manhattan prosecutors’ hope of getting the first bite at the 26-year-old Ivy Leaguer in the courtroom.
Mangione instead faced a judge in Manhattan federal court following his dramatic arrival in the Big Apple — blindsiding his defense attorneys.
