Apparently your assessment falls short of what professional psychiatric evaluation says. In the end, only Luigi himself truly knows his motivation.

 

And I'm sure that will come up in court, so there's no point speculating and playing armchair psychologist.

I'm sure he will receive psychological examinations of the non-armchair variety ...but given the circumstances and knowledge of his background other professionals can make opinions from their armchair. What Luigi says in court will be guided by his attorney, not the truth.

That's why prosecutors call their own psychiatrists. To counter what the defendant says.

Luigi Mangione said he was “grateful” for his fans in his first public statement released two months after he was arrested, which was featured on the homepage of a new website created by his legal defense team to combat misinformation and offer updates on the multiple cases levied against him.

“I am overwhelmed by – and grateful for – everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support,” said Mangione, who is being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. 

“Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions, as mail has flooded MDC from across the country, and around the globe. While it is impossible for me to reply to most letters, please know that I read every one that I receive,” he continued. 

“Thank you again to everyone who took the time to write. I look forward to hearing more in the future.” 

The statement comes just days after the 26-year-old accepted nearly $300,000 in donations raised by more than 10,000 donors supporting his cause.

Mangione could be executed if convicted in his federal case. 

Luigi Mangione, 26, thanked his supporters in his first public statement.

Mangione is charged with murder in the furtherance of terrorism for the Dec. 4 assassination.

reposting the defense's team's official website for Mangione, which is somewhat buried in a post upthread.....

WWW.LUIGIMANGIONEINFO.COM

Due to the extraordinary volume of inquiries and outpouring of support, this site was created and is maintained by Luigi Mangione’s New York legal defense...

 

This needed to be posted.  300k is peanuts.  Poor Luigi is gonna need a minimum of $5,000.000 for his defense.  Hopefully the Luigi lovers put their money where their mouths are and donate to poor Luigi.

I certainly hope not.  Poor Luigi can access legal aid if he and his wealthy family are unable or unwilling to pay for his defense.  All of that money being donated could feed thousands of people in real need.  The sad fact is that if every homeless or hungry person looked like Luigi, there would no longer be an issue with homelessness and hunger.

Really? Do you think it is all about the looks? Luigi's alleged act was already popular before his images got viral.

No, I was being a bit facetious with my comment.  I think his looks and image definitely make him more popular, but a lot of people also support what he did because of how insurance companies treat clients.

Luigi Mangione is asking his twisted fans to stop bombarding him with so many photos.

The accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer made clear on his legal defense fund website that he cannot keep up with the fan photos flooding into his Brooklyn federal jail.
 

Could you boys stop sending Luigi your sick pics?  🍄🟫

And, while the United Healthcare CEO was not unattractive, if more CEOs looked like Luigi or other fit men in their late 20s and featured in their advertising, the crowds would salivate over these corporations and easily handover the money to be a part of a company that looks sexy

Without being explicitly political, I do wonder if New Yorkers are feeling like their legal system is being manipulated by the current administration.

I can see that becoming a factor at the trial when the federal charges come through.

Meanwhile, I'll keep an eye on this as I sit back, watch our corrupt society go down the toilet, and laugh.

I wonder how many of the photos sent are nudes?  It’s gotta be north of 80%, LOL.

Cringe.

If someone wants to support Mangione because he took a stand against an immoral industry, shooting a man who was a mass murderer by any rational definition of the term, that's commendable. This is a republic; the people should speak.

If someone wants to support Mangione only because he's sexy, they're little girls.

I saw a show the other night about Mangione, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are some serious mental health issues at play.  Killing the CEO has done nothing to help those who continue to be harmed by the insurance industry.  Even in the short term, it won't improve anything for anyone.  It's really too bad that Mangioni was not able to focus his efforts on effecting systemic change.  With his intellect and his experiences with the health care system, I think he could have done a lot of good for a lot of people by fighting the system through non-violent means.  But he chose a course of action that will not profit anyone except the lawyers who defend him.  It's such a sad, sad, waste.

Freedom of speech, which I will defend to my death, does not give you the right to commit cold blooded murder.

It kills me that we live in a society where we "think" a young man who committed murder in broad daylight in Midtown Manhattan "might" have mental health issues. 

The kid is beautiful, no doubt. But he’s also a murderous lunatic, no doubt.

Absolutely - he is murderous - but whether he is a 'lunatic' would depend on a psychological assessment.  I think there are mental health issues at play, but I don't think they could excuse his behaviour or render him not criminally responsible for his actions.

Trying to steer clear of political, but societally, I think he just happens to be on the leading edge of something that's coming and it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. There have been a lot of people on edge for a number of years now. And there's a reason these billionaires are building bunkers. Increase the stress on a hundred million people, a few thousand are gonna snap badly, statistically speaking And that's not saying it's going to come from one "side of the aisle" or other because there's a random element to it. The economic middle has hollowed out in this country due to uncertainty- i.e. live in a nice house but do not have the savings to keep it if they're out of work for even a few months - and a LOT of people are closer than they realize to having nothing left to lose.

It's a scary and sad situation all around. :(
