What life will be like for Luigi Mangione inside notorious New York prison

Imagine if they held the healthcare industry accountable in this same way like they are with Luigi.

This is getting more coverage than what United Healthcare has ever provided.

The outrage against the United Healthcare CEO who denies life-saving healthcare is understandable. But where's the outrage for the greedy politicians and lobbyists who have created this for-profit healthcare monster in the first place?!

This man should not be facing terrorism charges. They're acting like he knew how people would react to him doing what he did. You can't punish him for our response.

Had Brian Thompson somehow survived Luigi's gunshots, he probably would have denied himself health insurance.

Why does he need that huge entourage? He is handcuffed and isn’t Hannibal Lecter, why can’t a couple of police officers walk with him?

The optics of this are prejudicial to the defendant.

Our poor little fallen angel,

I'm tired of Linguine. Oh? Luigi, that's different. Never mind.

He committed an act of violence to further a political or ideological protest. That's all that's required for terrorism.

“When he hit those showers he was ALLL MANNNNN”

For the record, the correct Italian pronunciation of the name would be "man-jee-O-neh," but Americans frequently drop the last syllable when pronouncing it, so it sounds like "man-jee-OWN."

Of course, another famous person with the same last name is Chuck Mangione, but I'm not sure how he pronounces it.

With that thicket of his it would be like risking your dick into a raspberry patch.

[quote]And Luigi's surname is pronounced "Manji-own" NOT...Manji-ownee."

WRONG. That's a broken ghetto Italian American East Cost pronunciation. In Italy and the rest of America the E is pronounced like A. "Man-jo-naa"

Similar to Grazie, you pronounce the E as an A. It's NOT Grat-ze" it's "Grrrat-zi-a"

Chuck Mangione pronounces his name "Man-jown."

Americans, including some Italian Americans do all sorts of basterisations to Italian names R14. What's your point?

I kinda lost interest in him after I found out he came from a wealthy family. I still don’t understand his problem with a wealthy CEO. The guy had options. It doesn’t mean anything if the haves get mad personally at the other haves. It still leaves the rest of us stranded.

R16 you never heard of someone standing up for other peoples rights? How do you not understand that this particular CEO like many others become wealthy on the backs of people? His company mission statement was to deny medically needed life and death care to increase their own profits. When you play with people's lives they get angry. Especially when they paid for a service that is not being delivered based on AI generated excuses.

Amazing how the insurance industry is pressuring the DOJ to bury this guy. And the DOJ is caving like the pussy bitches they are. Meanwhile, the insurance industry will kill more Americans than Luigi had an opportunity to meet.

By the way, tell us again about how there's only one tier of justice, Merrick. Maybe tell us with some tears in your eyes, for effect. That's always good stuff, really entertaining. It's bullshit, but I appreciate your effort.

"Did health insurance leaders pressure DOJ over Luigi Mangione case? New report reveals details - Times of India

US News: Luigi Mangione, accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, faces federal charges following pressure from health insurance industry"

He's a coward, shooting the guy in the back. The victim probably didn't even know he was there.

Say it to my face!

R19 Sounds like a kindness. He didn't die in fear, like many do who are denied lifesaving health care.

R17 how is killing the CEO of a company standing up for other people's rights? Facts/examples/details appreciated

CNN talked to some guy about the prison conditions. They also showed a page from the prison handbook (Minute 2). Here's an excerpt:

6am Breakfast. “Each inmate is responsible for making his bed in accordance with posted regulations before work call (including weekends and holidays when he or she leaves the area). Each inmate is also responsible for sweeping and mopping his cell floor, removing trash, and ensuring it is clean and sanitary. Cardboard boxes and other paper containers are not permitted for storage. Due to their combustible nature they become a fire hazard. Lockers must be neatly arranged inside and out, and all shelving must be neat and clean. Chairs are assigned to each cell, and will not be defaced or marked in any manner by the inmate."

There's also a list of what he can buy from the commissary, in case any of you want to send money to his account (apparently they're already getting donations.)

The address to write to him and the process to donate to his commissary account was posted on Reddit a couple of days ago. He might not be able to get anything while he's in solitary but it'll get to him eventually.

He knows where to get the bullets and the boys!

R13, your pronunciation notes are totally wrong. The last syllable of "Magione" in an Italian pronunciation would be close to "eh," not "ee" and certainly not like a long "a" sound.

He'll be known Luigi Manhole.

Can we go a Caroline outside hospital cell window on Christmas Eve? We will suck you, fuck you, suck you...pretty baby....

Man-gee-own is how I've heard it pronounced the most. Since we're American and he's American I guess that's the way it's pronounced in American English.

[quote]Americans, including some Italian Americans do all sorts of basterisations to Italian names

"Bastardization" is a bit much. American English is different from Italian. We don't pronounce surnames according to the native accent of origin. It would be weird if we did.

I think he's going to be treated well by the other prisoners. This is the most gangster murder you can think of. And justified.

I agree, R16. His family got rich in health care. Maybe he should have shot his father.

Did anyone else notice the screams coming from the audience last night when Colin Jost said Luigi’s name during the Weekend Update segment on SNL? You’d swear he had just said Timothee Chalamet’s name instead. He even seemed somewhat taken aback by it.

Are conditions at MDC better than Rikers?

R32 - no they didn't.

They got rich in real estate development - which was pretty easy to do if you had the funds in the 60's, 70's, 80's with all the suburban expansion. They owned 1 nursing home - but that's not the same as getting rich by denying people access to healthcare. It's taking care of aged adults - very different than this dead CEO's way of becoming rich.

Look things up before you just say stupid shit. I respect him MORE for doing this as someone from wealth.

[quote]They got rich in real estate development - which was pretty easy to do if you had the funds in the 60's, 70's, 80's with all the suburban expansion.

Very, very true. It was almost shockingly easy back in those days.

When are visiting hours?

Yes, man-gee-own is how that name would be most frequently pronounced by Americans, or it can sound more like man-jone if you say it faster.

"It was almost shockingly easy back in those days."

Still is. You get other people to put up the money, get others to do all the leg work, slap your name on the side of the building, then collect hundreds millions of dollars in royalties for use of your "brand."

[Quote] He committed an act of violence to further a political or ideological protest. That's all that's required for terrorism.

The guy who shot and killed all those black people at a supermarket in Buffalo to start a race war wasn’t charged with terrorism

Ah, but whoever said life was fair Tina darling!

R34 see the video linked at R23 - there's a prison consultant who's a guest on CNN and he explained that federal facilities like where Luigi is now (along with Diddy) are nicer than state facilities like Riker's. Better rooms (or cells, I guess), better food, easier access to counsel, nicer fellow prisoners - or probably safer to be a fellow prisoner with, politicians and celebrities like Diddy instead of street gang members.

R30.

For Diddy it's an early Christmas present

They care more about CEOs than children being shot dead in schools. In America, your life is just a few bucks to someone else above you on the totem poll. We need sufficient taxation as an incentive to reign in corporate greed, and common sense laws that don’t allow people to unnecessarily die. But we can’t, because $5 million isn’t enough and neither is $500 million. Our culture doesn’t teach us to hit a prosperity ceiling where at some point you can’t earn more money on our own terms. We’re bred to be selfish at the expense of others and are rewarded for it.

How is killing millions of INNOCENT people in Germany during WW2 standing up for wold peace? Do the math.

You seem unable to connect the dots.

Let me spell it out for you, if more than a few CEO's of Health Care Insurance companies met the same fate, they would drastically change their behavior to save their own lives. That means they would change the policies that piss people off. So they become less of a target. Mainly stop rejecting so many legitimate life and death claims.

let me spell it out for you R46 CEOs will change; they will have 24/7 security/bodyguards as many of them do already and they will keep a low profile

What will life be like inside Luigi Mangione?

What does Luigi put in his aintipasto salad?

ANTipasto said LOL oh dear

Time to quit while you're behind, r50.

R51 Sorry, my fat whore fingers miscommunicated that message a bit. Do you think he’s a pepperoni or salami boy?

I have never found them to be mutually exclusive, r52.

No R47, that's what they are doing now with only one assassination with the full force of the law backing them up in dramatic show. They feel and entitled. If other CEO's started getting wacked, they would go into survival mode like I spelled out and start changing policies. No one wants to live like they have a target on their back from the entire society if it's something they can control with simple policy change at work.

His lawyer pronounces his name “Man-gee-own-ee.”

That's interesting, R55. I imagine a lot of Americans would say it that way, but to pronounce the last syllable as a long "e" is really incorrect. In the Italian pronunciation, that sound would be more like "eh."
