Read the NYPD’s Mangione report the media won't publish

Based on observed initial online reactions to the shooting, including celebrations of the killing of a health insurance executive and encouragement of targeting leaders across industries, there is a risk that a wide range of extremists may view Mangione as a martyr and an example to follow.
When you've got bipartisan support for this behavior from a significant portion of the population, isn't it time to start considering that those who exploit millions of people are the ones who are extremists, and not ordinary citizens?
The ordinary citizens aren't the ones paying the campaign bills, though.
They're serial killers that need to go. By any means necessary.

Based on a review of the hand-written claim of responsibility and social media presence of Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the UnitedHealthcare (UHC) CEO shooting, the NYPD Intelligence & Counterterrorism Bureau (ICB) assesses that the alleged perpetrator was likely driven to violence on the basis of grievances against what he perceives as a "parasitic" health insurance company and industry as a whole, as well as broader objections to corporate greed and a concern for modern society. He appeared to view the targeted killing of the company’s highest-ranking representative as a symbolic takedown and a direct challenge to its alleged corruption and "power games,” asserting in his note he is the “first to face it with such brutal honesty.” Mangione may have found inspiration in Ted Kaczynski — the violent, anti-technology extremist known as the Unabomber — echoing in his note and reflecting in his targeting a similar mindset of the need for unilateral action to bring attention to abusive corporate actions. Based on observed initial online reactions to the shooting, including celebrations of the killing of a health insurance executive and encouragement of targeting leaders across industries, there is a risk that a wide range of extremists may view Mangione as a martyr and an example to follow.
Within the three-page handwritten claim of responsibility on his person, Mangione wrote, “Frankly these parasites simply had it coming." presumably referring to the UHC CEO and/or similar executives. He lamented that the US has the "most expensive healthcare system in the world" yet "ranks #42 in life expectancy," noting that the profits of major corporations continue to rise while "our life expectancy" does not. He declared that these "mafiosa have gotten too powerful” and "continue to abuse our country for immense profit." He stated that, while many have “illuminated” this “corruption and greed decades ago," the issues persist. In a statement signifying that he likely views himself as a hero of sorts who has finally decided to act upon such injustices, he noted, “Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”
Well said
We learn that the second indecipherable word in the transcribed version of Mangione's manifesto could be 'mafiosa' as in 'these mafiosa have gotten too powerful'.
The plural of mafioso is mafiosi.
From the other recent post in the Luigi community:
the top three DOJ officials under Attorney General Merrick Garland have all represented massive healthcare companies during their respective stints in private practice before joining the DOJ.
Because of COURSE they did 🤦🤬
