It seems LPSG has debunked every alleged nude that's come out as being either AI or a photoshop of someone on OF or whatever. As of now, there are no real nudes of him. That kind of surprises me given his popularity and looks.
Like, every gay guy I know, even the less attractive ones, if they did something like this and became famous for it, would have had nudes leaked by someone by now, even if just by a Grindr random that never bothered to delete them.
I guess the straight world really is that different. (Yes, I've heard the claims he was bi, but he seems to have been going after women mainly.)

There are no pictures of Brian Thompson on the internet when he was young. He was CEO of the largest health insurance company in America, but there appear to be like three headshot pictures and nothing else.

Some more miscellaneous facts and data that may be irrelevant or not.
From the Daily Mail:
[quote] On X, Mangione had created a titled ‘psych’ full of tweets about psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms and ln January 25 this year he added to his Goodreads a book called ‘Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World: An Identification Guide’, and ‘Mushrooms of Hawai’i: An Identification Guide’.
Here's a part that has NO attribution from a named friend. It talks about how Luigi coped with pain after the surgery:
[quote] Mangione suddenly went 'radio silent' while recovering. He sought alternative forms of pain management, including psychedelics and magic mushrooms.
^^^ Is that actually true? I can't find other news sources discussing this.
Goggle says this about Psilocybin (magic mushrooms)
[quote] There is a risk that taking psilocybin can trigger psychotic episodes in some people. Risk appears to be higher in people who have a family history of conditions associated with psychosis such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
The Daily Mail article is titled, "CEO shooter suspect Luigi Mangione went 'absolutely crazy' and explored 'psychedelic treatment' after back surgery"
That's what the Daily Mail is pushing, but then again, it is the Daily Mail.

BTW I have a dumb question. Do these 3D printed guns require special ammunition?
No-one has mentioned Luigi having an interest in guns yet, but he seemed able to unjam his pretty efficiently during the shooting. Would he have trained somewhere? What might have attracted him to the 3d printed weapon rather than just getting a gun in the normal way - would it be easier to avoid detection?

No reputable study indicates that insurance companies are responsible for the poor health and longevity results in America. Gun violence is one factor that does account for some of our poor performance in longevity. So what do brilliant Americans decide to do? Celebrate a shooter for killing an insurance executive.

I have to agree with this. Most of the poor health and outcomes are due to things like poor diet, poor lifestyle habits, uncontrolled chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes, and obesity. Most of these are worse in minority populations.
All of these things like primary care, treatment for diabetes and hypertension, cancer screenings, prenatal care, help with quitting smoking…are typically covered by insurance.
The poor outcomes are not due to things like denied surgery, and denied coverage for advanced cancer treatment…which are typically better in the US than countries with single-payer systems.
The fact that some people don’t have insurance at all, or don’t have access to adequate primary care…is more of a government policy problem than an insurance executive problem.

R132, I got curious about 3D printed guns as I was reading all the coverage and have a few pieces of info. At first I assumed Luigi had printed the guns himself and I couldn’t grasp that at all. How do you form metal into a gun if you don’t have specialized expertise and a work space — which, who knows, maybe he did.
Turns out he didn’t necessarily have to make it himself. Enter the term “ghost gun.” You can apparently buy gun kits online and assemble them yourself, which renders your weapon untraceable because it doesn’t have a serial number. I haven’t learned a thing about tracing guns, so this is just a flat assertion that I read more than once: ghost guns are untraceable.
The thing I found most interesting was one tidbit that I only saw once in all the reporting. Everyone was reporting that as he was shooting the gun had jammed and that he had skillfully dealt with that, but one report suggested that he was purposely ejecting the bullets he had written on without firing them. Maybe so the words would be more legible?
I have NO idea if that’s true but it has been my observation that when one report has differed from all the others, it has sounded more plausible than the others.
For example, I keep seeing that he shouted, “It’s totally out of control and an insult to the intelligence of the American people.” The lone report that varied said he shouted, “This is a miscarriage of justice and ….”
So, there you go. Guesses and projections abound. People seem far more ready to make things up than to say, “Yeah, I don’t know.”
What I’m curious about now is the tactic his attorney is using, claiming he has seen no evidence to suggest Luigi committed this crime. Seems like everybody else has!
by Anonymous | reply 152 | December 13, 2024 4:18 PM |
R152. Interesting. Would the gun kits then be posted from outside the United States? Seems like the authorities should be able to crack down on the ghost gun trade otherwise. For all the comments about mental illness this thing seems to have been well and audaciously planned, coming from a young guy who appears to have no military or police experience. Did he have advance knowledge of Thompson's movements or did he just get lucky?
Re: his attorney I think they are just trying to stall his extradition to NY as a legal tactic, though I'm not sure of the precise issues at stake here.

I’m at the limit of what I’ve read, R153. I didn’t see anything about how someone orders a ghost gun or where they come from.
How Luigi positioned himself so well is another thing I’ve only seen people speculating about. Reports say cameras have caught him walking back and forth, idling around as he waited for Thompson to appear, but I haven’t seen any of that footage, and I did see CCTV footage of Luigi firing the shots that killed Thompson without even having to look very hard for it. Most of the video clips cut out at the point where Luigi takes aim but in the longer clip you also see a woman come out of a door as he’s leveling the gun. She takes one look, understands the situation, and heads off in the other direction at top speed. It’d be funny if the larger situation weren’t so awful.

One of them, a black man named only as Sean Y, told Media Take Out that he and Luigi were together for nearly 5 years.
He recalled to the site: "We met at a gay club in Baltimore. He was one of the only white guys in the club, and he bought me a drink."
Sean said the two went home together that night, and enjoyed a long-distance relationship on-and-off for the next several years.
"He would see me when he was in town. And he was very generous. He’d always buy me something nice, from Hermes or Louis Vuitton. Those are my favorites," Sean claimed.
Another openly gay black man from Philadelphia claimed to have had a similar relationship with Mangione .
The man, identified only as Tommy, said Mangione clearly had a type: "He was big into hip hop and Black culture." But the two apparently kept their relationship shallow: "We never really talked politics or anything like that."
Tommy said much like Sean, Mangione showered him with pricey gifts.
"I am an expensive friend. Luigi knew that and made sure that I was properly taken care of."

Looks like there was no reason to be horrified or condemn the killing of Brian Thompson, which I did initially, the way so many on the right do and blame it the left which is bizarre. There are as many on the right who feel the way those on the left do. He seems to have killed many people with his policies and Luigi's action even if it was some psychotic breakdown has caused an open discussion on healthcare from all income levels and political leanings the way nothing has ever done before. And Brian had the mercy of a relatively quick death unlike those who were denied healthcare in his quest for corporate profits. So yes whatever Luigi's motives he CAN be considered an American folk hero. Brian wore a suit and tie and delegated his dirty work to others like some padrino. So what about his family? Many families have been destroyed because of him.

[quote] The US is the only advanced country in the world that does not offer public universal healthcare
Obviously, I know this, and anyone with two brain cells knows this. Ultimately, we have private insurance because that is what the voters vote for. If you don’t like the healthcare system in the US, you’re not going to accomplish anything by shooting insurance executives. You need to shoot the slightly more than 50 percent of the voters who consistently vote against health care reform. Voters have consistently punished democrats for imposing even minimal reforms on insurance and health care. We just elected a man who has consistently attacked the minimal reform his predecessor made to the insurance system. A substantial share of the electorate were incensed by that minimal reform and preferred a concept of a plan.
So , if the electorate doesn’t want national insurance, you’re left with the choice of private insurance or paying out of pocket. Like any other private, profit-seeking enterprise, insurance companies are stepping in to offer a service people can’t perform themselves and that the government cannot perform. Personally, I’m glad insurance companies, however imperfect they are, exist. I see you disagree . I’m glad you are rich enough that you don’t need insurance or are confident enough that national insurance is moths or weeks away. Unfortunately, I’m not in that position.

The key word is minimal. And what did Biden and Harris do? So you are blaming the right. And the right is blaming the left.
Luigi's murder of Brian is doing more than any politician or electorate could do. So R244 the very inconvenient truth is murder IS sometimes justified. And every single person believes in vigilante justice. It just depends what personal opinions you have on any individual case.

R241 When the healthcare insurance lobbyists and talking heads and corporate media are all gaslighting the public and promoting private healthcare and demonizing a government universal healthcare system as ineffective and scary, of course they are going to be reluctant to change. During the 2009-2010 ACA bill haggling in congress the intention was to not just properly regulate private health insurance, but to also offer a single payer universal option. The insurance companies made sure their lackeys in congress (Joe Lieberman) killed that option.

Plenty of non-profit organisations offer health insurance. In fact, Minnesota banned the for-profit ones until 2017.
As for why it might be better, presumably one reason would be because it removes the incentive to increase profits not the hard way, by providing a better service than all your competitors, but the easy way, by finding a loophole to deny care to people who have already paid for it. But I'll leave the detailed debate to people with better knowledge of the US system than I

I’m not blaming the right or left. I’m blaming a stupid and spoiled electorate. Do you honestly not think most democratic presidents would have loved to institute substantial health reform? They haven’t failed to do so because it hasn’t occurred to them. They don’t do it because they know a spoiled an.d childish electorate makes it impossible The bloodlust this stupid killing has unleashed is every bit as stupid and deplorable as the impulses that elected Trump

That’s amazing! You can live in a country for 50 years and sometimes a foreigner knows the country better than you do! Since you’ve now exposed my ignorance of my own country, could please provide a list of the biggest not-for-profit insurance providers we have? (Doesn’t need to be a long list—top five will do.)
I must admit that now that I know that we can all get not-for-profit insurance , I did come up with another difficult question, but you’re really smart so I’m sure you can answer it. Why did he shoot the executive when we can all get private insurance that will allow is to get any care we want at low premiums? Was he, like me, ignorant of this option?
I get your point too about the fact that you can get unlimited care at cheap prices when the profit notice is gone . Last year (a record year) UHC earned a profit per insured of 500 dollars. Hell,I’m America that will buy weeks of denied hospitals stays or an experimental cancer treatment!
And even more amazingly, you know not only other countries but other people’s minds! I thought I had a fairly low opinion of Reagan, but you mystically sensed I love him!

R255 Oh mate, you started well, but your sarcasm got too overworked and exclamatory over four paragraphs, and the paedophile thing was more than a little cringey.
You asked 'why would someone offer that on a nonprofit basis?' implying the idea of a non-profit was outlandish or unworkable, or that insurance could *only* be effectively provided by for-profits (hence the Reagan remark which so riled you). I replied that there are plenty of large non-profit insurers that are offering coverage and functioning perfectly well in the US market today.... and of course, there is. There is, for example, the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, multiple members of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Federation, Emblem Health, UPMC, and HealthFirst, to name but a few. These serve millions of members in multiple states. I would not presume to rank them for you.
Yes, I understand that a non-profit insurer is not an available option for everyone, right now. That is why there might be an argument for regulating the market to a greater or lesser extent to mandate more non-profit coverage like Minnesota used to. Below is an opinion piece from an academic arguing this approach. Of course a single-payer setup may be a better solution, and should be pursued instead , again I wouldn't try to judge. The UK NHS has its pluses and minuses, but does best at the crisis and emergency stuff. Perhaps less so at long-term preventative strategies.
But either of those would be preferable to coverage from a for-profit, I would have thought, at least without major changes in regulatory oversight.
OK? Are we chill and have we removed all the sand? Great! :)

To expose that you didn’t know what you are talking about. If it were viable to provide insurance on a non-profit basis in the US, it would have happened. And to point out the fact that providing insurance for a profit doesn’t have much to do with health outcomes. There is no system in the world that authorizes every treatment people want. Premiums would soar. Delay and denial are features of public systems as well. I personally would favor a public option, but it’s naive to think that system would eliminate denials and delays. And until we have a public system, private for-profit, for all their flaws, are extremely necessary and a life-safer. Shooting insurance executives is just a pointless gesture that will change absolutely nothing other than the lives of children who have now lost a parent. It’s not surprising that a country that elects Trump would cheer this pointless , despicable gesture rather than actually enacting public policy that would make private insurance unnecessary or optional.

Trump and crew will probably get rid of this, alas:
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires health insurance companies to spend at least 80% of premium dollars on medical care and quality improvement, and to issue rebates to customers if they don't meet this standard. This requirement is known as the Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) rule, or the 80/20 rule. The MLR rule is intended to limit the profits and administrative costs of health insurers, and to restrain premium growth.

Over analyzing any of this is useless.
Here’s the new reality:
American children, young adults & even seniors will now all solve their problems with guns.
Voting does not work, protests are of no consequence, & MANY of us are waking up to the idea that no matter how decent, moral or principled one is, you will still be denied life saving care, the ability to purchase a home, & the ability to create a family.
Luigi was the first to go all out publicly. This will happen again, and again. And if it doesn’t happen with a gun, it will happen with a knife, or a rock or with someone’s bare hands. If they can get the CEO, they’ll get the receptionist or the parking attendant.
I’m not saying I want this, nor do I support anarchy, however, our leadership have made absolutely certain that we cannot aspire to afford or get anything other than guns, and eventually, people who never considered using them for anything other than personal protection, will come to the conclusion that the gun stashed away in the gun safe can be used for something else.

It just doesn’t matter anymore who it is, why, or why not. As long as FOX News or the church tells them to hate that candidate, they do. And now the church doesn’t even have to give them directions nor does FOX. They know exactly who to hate, no questions asked - just press, “Go”.

If Luigi was not directly a customer of the United healthcare, it does seem like a political act and his brief manifesto supports the act as such. So the terrorism charge is not a stretch logically. I have no idea about how difficult such a charge is to prove and get a conviction. As to the comparison to school shootings, I would guess some ARE terrorism and some are not. The ones that are terrorism would be the ones where shooters go out to prove some political or moral conviction by killing citizens, complete strangers to him or her.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev does not SEEM to have been charged and convicted of "terrorism". Rather, "using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death" and with "malicious destruction of properties resulting in death".
Again I am not an expert but specifically charging "terrorism" may differ by state laws?

R326, I hate to break it to you, but… what Luigi did, and the reasons he wrote for doing it, and killing a person he never met, for the specific reason that he worked for an insurance company - all of these reasons & motive, fall under the umbrella of the meaning of terrorism.
I don’t know Luigi, I don’t know Brian Thompson, and my insurance carrier is not UHC, nor have I ever experienced issues with my insurer, however, even if I had, I still understand and know the meaning of terrorism.
I believe these CEOs who make it policy to deny care to their clients are absolutely total scum. I will never consider executing one of them, because I don’t subscribe to any ideology that justifies killing people specifically because what company they work for, or what they do at that company.
Luigi Mangione’s idealism was not a bad thing. The moment he picked a stranger to murder in cold blood due to his idealism, he became a terrorist. Had he murdered Brian Thompson for personal reasons, for example: Thompson had personally stiffed him on a business venture where lots of money had been involved, or because he had fucked Luigi’s girlfriend, then that’s not terrorism.
Do you understand the differences here?
Terrorism is all about ideology & motive, it’s NOT about how many people are killed. One does not have to even kill people to commit an act of terrorism.
Look, I absolutely understand why he did it, but I’d be a fucking idiot to not consider that Luigi is likely a very, very mentally unwell young man. He is not OK, R326. He needs help because something inside of him broke & does not work correctly.
I hope you understand that it’s not my intention to piss you off. I am however, pointing out that this young man is sick, and what he did and why he did it is absolutely unacceptable, no matter what, even if we get why he did it.

He waived extradition and will be flown to New York shortly. The only good thing about all of this is that we will get another new mugshot.

None, R330.
One need not be involved with a group or an organization in order to self-radicalize & go on to commit an act of terrorism.

Luigi got Anthem to change its fucking sick nasty policy which turned around in a flash. Got CEOs scared as shit and the Governer had to offer them counseling because they are widdle liddle babies with millions of dollars and need their blankets and to suck their thumbs. Luigi got companies to reveal to the country that care is denied by algorithms and agents are judged by quota denials. Not enough denials and out with the garbage.
I think it was spectacular and great what Luigi did even if it was because of mental illness. You are fucking dead wrong. Without Luigi this never would have been part of a nationwide discourse. Brian deserved his big fat corporate head blown off to hell the way every CEO who destroys the land and people's lives deserves. And that the fact that you think we should accept for decades of activism to achieve nothing tells me your opinions are unacceptable and truly fucked up. You clearly want to play nice and achieve nothing but stand in the shit of righteous do nothingness.

NYC has around 400 - 500 murders a year. That's roughly 1.4 per day. I find it hard to believe Luigi is the only one that would be considered a terrorist.
I guess gang activity which EVERYONE is afraid of is not a form of terror then.

Senseless murders all the time and that's life. A corrupt CEO gets murdered and the entire NY justice system goes into high alert to tell the world this is the most horrible murder of all.
Kill your girlfriend kill children and they are statistics but kill a rich CEO and you are John Wilkes Booth.

Exactly r344. Thompson was a POS who was complicit in denying life-saving healthcare and causing the deaths of many, many people. But he was a rich white CEO so his being killed was just unacceptable and Luigi is being treated like a war criminal. It's so fucked up.
The pathetic piece of theater that was put on bringing Luigi back to NYC was outrageous and the public saw right through it. It made them look like a bunch of clowns.

Thompson and his fellow executives in the healthcare insurance policies are responsible for tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths each year. Nobody in law enforcement, the judicial system gives a shit when that happens. But when the corporate class is targeted they circle the wagons.

I first saw his height reported as 6’-1”, and the estimate his mom made was said to be 5’-10”. He’s almost never shorter than anyone pictured standing by him, so I personally think 6’-1” seems true.

She dis say she didnt recognize him from the crime photos. But then she could not tell his accurate height and weight. Probably didnt know how old he was till it hit the papers. I am thinking she is not Italian, maybe just the father. Italian mothers would be all over that stuff.

His mother's maiden name is Zannino, both her parents are Italian immigrants, and she has dual citizenship. She operates a boutique travel agency that specializes in tours of Italy.
