To everybody claiming that luigi mangione really is the guy.
This is the manifesto the cops say they found
“To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”
like “ohh yeah we got our guy, he was holding the murder weapon, a manifesto that says "Hey feds! I did that crime and did it with this gun!! this is because the US has the most expensive healthcare but we don’t even live as long as some other countries? and its the fault of the american public who I hate!” anne 10 grand! is obvious that this is our guy, and he’s just a low down criminal who hates your! the american public"
also if they did find him with that why would he respond to their arrest with immediate legal defense rather than dignified resignation like the manifesto implies.
So the manifesto has no actual rhetoric or justification and he demures authority and intelligence. No advice or urging for others to do the same. It frames him as alone and unusual in taking his hatred as far as he has. It says there’s no point trying to get into his devices, yup, definitely no reasons for the cops to try to do so because there’s nothing on there which might contradict their story like location data. (How much you wanna bet they disappear from lockup before the trial?)
And it explicitly praises and gives respect to the cops, when while being taken by cops he shouted “It’s completely out of touch! It’s an insult to the intelligence of the American people!”
Yeah okay, this does it, I’m pretty convinced they’re framing an innocent man. No one willing to throw their life away killing a monster and expecting to get arrested for it and their words distributed is actually writing something like this.
