Hi, I'm Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare.

He could have done a lot of good in this world.

Talented. Very bright.

I knew Brian.

Tragic.

And he was taken way too soon.

Luigi Nicholas Mangione.

He was brilliant.

Valedictorian and well liked.

He suffers a life-changing injury during a surfing accident.

And it seems he has an enemy in his crosshairs

and it is the insurance industry.

And on the morning of December 4th,

based on everything we know from law enforcement,

it seems the paths of these two former valedictorians

were about to cross.

Earlier this morning, members of the Altoona Police Department

arrested Luigi Mangione

in the brazen targeted murder of Brian Thompson.

As soon as he was arrested, Luigi Mangione became a hero to many.

Young women are writing him letters and throwing him kisses.

Guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty.

Of course, the question now becomes, "Who is Luigi Mangione?"

At 6:45 in the morning there are not a lot of people in Midtown,

so it leaves an opportunity

for someone to spot someone pretty easily.

Somebody that runs a multi-billion dollar corporation

and no-one's protecting him.

I think that is just the biggest mistake I've seen

in the corporate security world.

Good morning, everyone.

In Midtown Manhattan, early this morning,

50-year-old Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare,

was shot and killed in what appears,

at this early stage of our investigation,

to be a brazen, targeted attack.

The flags outside UnitedHealthcare in Minnetonka

are at half staff today,

as the health care insurance giant

mourns the death of one of their own.

I call them the Leave It To Beaver family.

They were always walking in dressed, dressed nicely.

Good-looking family.

A family I envied, you know, and hoped and idolized

because they were just wonderful people.

So outrageous that a businessman would be gunned down in the street.

I haven't seen anything like that.

Was it a personal vendetta? Would it be a mob hit?

Did he owe people money?

Once the news broke

that the killer had inscribed those bullet shell casings

with a Magic Marker with the words "delay, deny, depose,"

that really narrowed down the motive.

They're the mantra of the insurance industry for how you make money.

Deny the claims, defend them,

depose anybody who tries to continue their claim against you.

So, once we knew that,

it was clear this person was a mission-oriented killer.

We wanna begin with the intense search for the gunman.

A gunman is still on the loose.

A shocking murder getting national attention tonight.

We have upped the reward up to $10,000 for information.

We'd gotten to a point where we felt that we needed the public's help

and that's why we released the photograph and the video.

We have him from the shooting scene, fleeing back uptown.

We had him in a taxicab.

We also had a clear vision of his face

at the hostel where he was staying.

Those two clear photos of his face

were what alerted the customers and employees

at that McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

The minute that they saw him in the corner, eating his hash browns,

they called the police.

Earlier this morning in Altoona, Pennsylvania,

members of the Altoona Police Department

arrested Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old male.

We've recovered five fingerprints that match our suspect

from the water bottle that was recovered.

We have two fingerprints from an energy bar wrapper.

The same fraudulent New Jersey driver's license

that he presented as identification at the hospital

was the same identification that he presented

to the Altoona police officer at that McDonald's.

As Luigi Mangione is being led into the courthouse

for his first appearance,

it's almost like his world crumbles in front of us.

It's completely out of touch and it's an insult to the intelligence

of the American people and its lived experience!

He's shouting and he's angry.

We, for the first time, see raw emotion on his face.

- Luigi Mangione. - Luigi Mangione.

Luigi Mangione.

Of course, the question is, who is this guy?

OK, whenever you guys are ready. OK.

We are on High Street, which is the restaurant row of Little Italy.

You leave Little Italy, but Little Italy never leaves you.

The Mangione family. What more can I say?

I've known the family for at least 50 years.

They are probably one of the most respected,

if not the most respected, family in the Italian community.

What a good-looking family.

I don't know about this whole situation here.

It doesn't make sense.

There's something wrong here.

They've got a big house on the golf course.

All right, speeding.

I'm very close to his mom's side.

They're from the same neighborhood that we are.

Just, he looked like a Mangione.

Bright and cheerful and smiley

and you knew who he was right away.

Shook my head. This can't be happening.

They were generous with their money.

They've given a lot to churches...

...more than one hospital, GBMC.

They would just do it without expecting anything back.

They are the epitome of the American dream.

He is born into this life of privilege.

Going back through his Reddit postings,

he seems to feel a little bit guilty about it.

I remember one time, as a young child,

playing with friends, fantasizing.

We each sketched our ideal dream home.

Everyone else drew intricate mansions.

I sketched the floor plan of a small square house.

They thought I was weird.

I thought their mansions were full of lots of bullshit.

Clearly, one of the best clues that we're going to have

about the psychology and background of Luigi Mangione

is his social media.

I contracted Lyme when I was 13

and started noticing mild cognitive declines when I was 15.

My symptoms were very minor at first.

I was able to excel in high school.

He went to high school at the Gilman High School

and that is top-notch school and, obviously, he was brilliant.

Luigi Nicholas Mangione.

And well-liked and an honor student, valedictorian.

The class of 2016 is truly defined

by its inventive, pioneering mentality

that accompanies a strong commitment to Gilman tradition.

Throughout its time at Gilman, the class of 2016 has been coming up

with new ideas and challenging the world around it.

To achieve what he did in such a prestigious school that he went to

was a great accomplishment.

I was... We were all so proud of him.

We were all so proud of him.

As I conclude my speech, I have to remember

that a valedictory, by definition, is a farewell.

It's been an incredible journey

and I simply can't imagine the last few years

with any other group of guys.

Thank you.

Thank you. Great job. Very well done.

And he also had enough smarts

to get into the University of Pennsylvania.

It's like, you don't have to brag when that happens.

It speaks for itself.

I'm an undergraduate pursuing a degree in computer science

and am very interested in bioinformatics.

I knew he was headed toward engineering, he was good in math.

Both his parents are so smart.

Both college graduates.

We know from his writings that, even during college,

he still struggled with maladies and pain and sleeplessness.

Basically, I'm in bed for eight hours every night

and I wake up unrefreshed, no matter how much sleep I get.

Imagine that in your early 20s, no matter how much money you have,

suddenly, you're experiencing a lapse in brain cognition.

He refers to a brain fog.

The symptoms worsened exponentially last year

after my fraternity's very tame Hell Week.

I simply wasn't able to recover from a week of disturbed sleep.

It's absolutely brutal to have such a life-halting issue,

especially since the issue itself

wears down the critical, logical, thinking mind

you'd usually use to tackle it.

I used to play chess daily against my roommate.

I used it as a metric to see how the brain fog was improving.

Eventually I just stopped,

since I could never remember any strategy.

He would use the same moves against me day after day

and I just wouldn't remember them.

The brain fog becomes almost an obsession with Luigi Mangione

because it's something that he can't overcome,

no matter how wealthy he is.

The people around you probably won't understand your symptoms.

They certainly don't for me.

As each test comes back negative,

the doctors won't have a ------- clue what's going on.

I don't know what happened.

There was some type of a change.

Something happened to his mind.

A person possibly shot in front of the Hilton Hotel.

In criminology, we very often conduct, after a horrific crime...

...what we call a psychological, or reverse, autopsy.

We try to reconstruct the psychology of our suspect working backwards,

so that we understand the trajectory of events.

I met Luigi... It was the latter part of 2022.

And mark.

My name's Dorian Wright

and I am a yoga instructor and a studio owner.

He was just a normal, happy-go-lucky kind of 26-year-old guy.

I don't know what would motivate someone like that

to do something like that.

So, I created a co-living space in Honolulu during COVID

and he applied to be a member.

He was excited to move to Hawaii.

He wanted to focus on his health and he was looking to make new friends.

It's incomprehensible that the person I knew and was friends with

could assassinate somebody.

When I looked at Luigi, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

He was quite tall and very fit.

Every time he walked in, yeah, all the women would look at him.

So, yeah, he was a head-turner for the women

and even one of our teachers matched with him on Tinder.

It appears he suffers a life-changing injury during a surfing accident

that caused him a severe back injury

and that's what may have put him on his path.

Started when I first aggravated my spondy

one and a half years ago after surfing.

Yeah, spondy is a bony defect in the back part of the spine.

This piece of bone in the back that's normally attached to the spine

is not attached to the spine.

My back and hips locked up after the accident

and my whole lumbar hips have been out of whack since.

Bladder and genital pain for the last year, on and off.

Luigi is typical of every patient in my practice.

You're bounced around the medical system,

nobody tells you what is going on.

Repeatedly dashing hope induces depression.

It was completely devastating as a young, athletic person.

Seemingly all I could read on the Internet

was that I was destined to chronic pain and a desk job

for the rest of my life.

It was one of those interesting injuries

where one day he could perhaps be athletic

and do something and the next day just immobile and stuck in bed.

I knew he had to go home, back to the East Coast, for a surgery.

I had surgery two weeks ago because I had nerve issues.

He sent me some images of his X-rays post-surgery

that just make you cringe.

Three-, four-inch screws into somebody's spine.

Surgery was painful for the first couple of days,

but I was shocked that by day seven

I was on literally zero pain meds.

Obviously, it will be a while until I get into rigorous activity,

but it was way less a big deal than I had anticipated.

In his Reddit discussions about his own back surgery,

someone else responds and immediately Luigi starts to coach this person

on how to get the surgery done.

Keep trying different surgeons.

Tell them you are unable to work/do your job.

We live in a capitalist society.

I found that the medical industry responds to these key words

far more urgently than you describing unbearable pain

and how it's impacting your quality of life.

This is the first time in this back and forth about the back surgery

where Luigi states in social media, "We live in a capitalistic society."

And it's a condemnation.

After his surgery, Luigi seems to go on a pilgrimage, if you will, to Asia

and enjoy and embrace a persona of the backpacker.

In high school I was fascinated

with the idea of living out of a tin can.

Well, not "living" that way, but being able to survive in the wild

using nothing more than a survival kit

small enough to fit in an Altoids can.

And it's a good reminder that we're able to go long periods

without needing many things.

Remember, he has always had every advantage,

but now he wants to see how little he can live on.

I suppose I've always been hyper-obsessed with efficiency

and I've never been materialistic.

Those traits have persisted into adulthood.

They are why I became an engineer.

In early 2024 Luigi Mangione pops up again

and this time with a review on Goodreads

of the Ted Kaczynski manifesto.

Ted Kaczynski was known as the Unabomber,

who had created fear for years

by sending packages that had bombs in them

to various people that he thought

were part of the societal problem.

Luigi wrote a very positive review of the Kaczynski manifesto.

It's easy to quickly and thoughtless write this off

as the manifesto of a lunatic in order to avoid facing

some of the uncomfortable problems it identifies.

He was a violent individual, rightfully imprisoned,

who maimed innocent people.

While these actions tend to be characterized

as those of a crazy Luddite,

however, they are more accurately seen

as those of an extreme political revolutionary.

Some people are gonna say,

"Why are you even amplifying this guy's views?"

From a law enforcement perspective, they're going to wanna know

as much as they can about the alleged killer,

including why he may have done it.

A take I found online that I think is interesting.

"Peaceful protest is outright ignored.

"Economic protest isn't possible in the current system,

so how long until we recognize

that violence against those who lead us to destruction

is justified as self-defense?

"'Violence never solved anything'

is a statement uttered by cowards and predators."

It will be just ten months from the time of that review

that he gets a gun and allegedly takes action.

Luigi reached out to me via email.

He was in Japan at the time

and he said he was a long-time fan of my work.

So, one of the articles that most resonated with Luigi

was an article that I'd written

called Why Everything Is Becoming A Game,

in order to addict people to them.

He had bought a $200 founding membership to my blog.

So, in May we had a video call.

I remember that, as soon as I saw him,

he gave me a big smile and he was very enthusiastic.

He described Japanese culture as a peak NPC-ville.

NPC isa meme online which means Non-Player Character

and it's a term that's been borrowed from Dungeons and Dragons.

It refers to characters in fictional worlds

that are not controlled by players

but are controlled by a computer program

or by the Dungeon Master.

He believed people were increasingly living automated lives.

It was a big concern of his.

I got the sense that maybe

he felt the lack of social connection himself,

that the people around him were not on the same wavelength as him.

I followed up March, April, May.

Each month, just a text message checking in,

"Hey, bro, how you doing? What's going on?"

and didn't hear from him.

He didn't interact with any of my writing after June 10th,

so it was the last time.

He seems to have not interacted with, really, anybody else.

He seemed to have gone dark, mostly, after that period.

Six months, no-one had heard from him.

His friends, his family, his parents.

He isolated himself and there was no-one there to guide him.

And then, you know, your mind goes off.

In his valedictorian speech, he thanks the parents.

Thank you for all the time and love you put into our lives.

You instilled values in us, fed and clothed us

and simply been there for us every step of the way.

So, fast forward to the age of 25, 26.

He's not communicating with his parents, he's shut them out.

Perhaps, in his mind, his family had become the enemy

because they were capitalists, they were incredibly wealthy.

Cutting off communication with his parents was the only way

to keep these magical ideas in full float in his brain.

His parents would have been a reality check.

The shooter's mother had reported him missing in San Francisco

back on November 18th of 2024.

In my view, the fact that even his mother didn't know where he was

would seem to indicate he really had made a big decision

to prepare for this incident.

To the Feds.

I'll keep this short

because I do respect what you do for our country.

Police say he even laid out his plans

in a short letter to the Feds and a spiral notebook,

both of which were found on him at the time he was arrested.

The details are finally coming together.

I'm glad, in a way, that I've procrastinated

because it allowed me to learn more about UHC.

The target is insurance.

It checks every box.

It's not necessarily easy

to know exactly where a CEO will be at a particular time.

The fact that this conference was on the Internet

with the dates and the times

allowed him to plot this in exactly the way that he had wanted.

This investor conference is a true windfall and, most importantly,

the message becomes self-evident.

Seemingly appreciating that they are letting him know

exactly where Brian Thompson's going to be.

When I first heard the news, I was in disbelief.

Couldn't be the same Brian Thompson, it just couldn't be.

I remember him as a cute little kid.

I'm very good friends with his mother Pat.

It's a heart-break.

We are fortunate enough to know him so well

that the memories we have of him are very joyful.

He was very talented, a very bright individual.

Funny, had a sense of humor.

Enjoyed life.

We have what's called Watermelon Day,

our annual celebration where we serve free watermelon.

We have a parade in the morning.

His mom was known as the Ticket Lady,

so the Thompsons were well known for Watermelon Day.

Brian Thompson was also a valedictorian.

He was also an overachiever.

One of his classmates and his best friend said,

"He's probably the smartest kid in our class

and the smartest kid I've ever known."

He went to University of Iowa,

did very well in the business classes.

It's not easy, coming from a small town.

I kind of knew he was bound for great things.

And ultimately made his way

to becoming the CEO of a major healthcare division.

Hi, I'm Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthCare.

Brian Thompson did climb the corporate ladder

very successfully and relatively quickly at United.

Wendell interview take one. Mark.

I was in the industry for 20 years

and I'm not the industry's favorite person.

I think as we look over the long term of this three-year period...

Brian Thompson helped that company become very, very profitable

and to be a Wall Street darling for much of his tenure.

United is the largest company in the US by market cap,

behind only Apple, Google, Walmart.

It has grown and grown, but has our life expectancy? No.

We have no indication that he was ever a client of UnitedHealthcare,

but he does mention that it is the fifth largest corporation in America.

That's possibly why he targeted that company.

Once a year, the executives go to New York City.

They stage this half-day program.

It's kind of like a dog and pony show

in which the executives tell investors,

"This is what our plans are for profitable growth."

In the simplest sense,

we're helping to accelerate the transition from volume to value.

Just curious in terms of how that drives your thinking on growth.

Great question, Scott. Brian, if you might like to start.

And Brian Thompson was always very accomplished, very well spoken,

very adept at answering their questions.

Certainly from this vantage point,

I feel good about the benefits we've put in the marketplace,

the pricing, et cetera, so I feel good about where we're positioned.

During the time that Brian Thompson was CEO of UnitedHealthcare,

a study of companies and their denial rates

showed that UnitedHealthcare was at the top, if not the top,

in terms of refusing or denying coverage

for treatments that patients needed

and it's an example of what that company, in particular,

has been doing to satisfy Wall Street's profit expectation.

More than 150 people

protested at UnitedHealthcare headquarters today.

Nearly a dozen left in handcuffs.

The organizers want United to stop denying claims.

I am a United Healthcare Medicare disadvantaged member.

I needed a surgery in January, a hysterectomy.

And roughly two days before the scheduled surgery,

I received a denial from UnitedHealthcare.

I was informed that the reason for the denial

was that the surgery was perceived as not medically necessary.

It was infuriating, it was frustrating.

We're making it easier for customers and consumers

to get the most out of their benefits.

And I was, frankly, at a loss.

I didn't see a way forward. My surgeon did fight for me, though.

I was able to have it as scheduled,

but I did not know until the day before.

United wouldn't do what they did

if there were consequences for their behavior.

We want the system to work better for everyone.

The subtext of that, of what he was saying is that,

yeah, it would be great if they could figure out

how to make the system work for all the stakeholders.

It's just simply not possible

because if you are making the system work better and more smoothly

for people enrolled in your health plans,

that means there's not as much money left over to reward shareholders.

At the time, there were reports

that Brian Thompson was under investigation

for possible insider trading.

He, reportedly, is one of the executives,

there are several, that did share sales two weeks before

it was revealed that there was an antitrust investigation

launched by the DOJ into the company.

He and multiple other UnitedHealth executives

are accused of offloading something like 15 million shares of stock

before the probe was announced.

Of course, once that investigation by the DOJ was announced,

the stock then plummeted.

The reality is these mafioso have simply gotten too powerful

and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit

because the American public has allowed them to get away with it.

He refers to healthcare companies as the mafioso.

He is clearly...

...writing this for public consumption.

So, Luigi Mangione seems to go on a mission.

He has an enemy in his crosshairs and it is the insurance industry.

And on the morning of December 4th,

based on everything we know from law enforcement,

it seems the paths of these two former valedictorians...

...were about to cross.

I do apologize for any strife or traumas, but it had to be done.

Frankly, these parasites had it coming.

We know that when he first arrived in New York City

at the end of November, he visited that hotel.

He definitely was casing the area.

The morning of the incident itself,

we know that he was at the hotel an hour prior.

As of right now, we think he acted alone.

To save you a lengthy investigation,

I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone.

You can check serial numbers to verify this is all self-funded.

My own ATM withdrawals.

He had over $5,000 worth of cash on him in $100 bills.

He paid everything in cash.

This was fairly trivial.

Some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience.

CAD, which is Computer Aided Design software,

to get a 3D ghost gun printed.

It's a semi-automatic pistol.

It had a suppressor on it that was also built on a 3D printer.

Every time he fired, the gun would jam,

so he would have to clear the malfunction to shoot again.

The recovered shell casings that we had at the scene matched that gun.

My tech is pretty locked down

because I work in engineering, so probably not much info there.

He also discusses the contrast

on whether or not using a bomb

to make his statement or to just kill the CEO by himself.

He states that if he used a bomb,

that potentially he might hurt some innocent people

and that would take away from his message.

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,

for example, Rosenthal, Moore.

Rosenthal is a New York Times writer who has written extensively

about the maladies of the insurance industry.

Michael Moore, the very famous documentary maker,

with his documentary Sicko.

The intent is to maximize profits.

You denied more people healthcare, you got a bonus.

When you don't spend money on somebody,

it's a savings to the company.

It's 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.

There seems to be a tremendous amount of narcissism

going on with Luigi Mangione.

You know, "Here I am, I am so smart. I did this for a reason.

"It had to be done

and I am the only person smart enough and brave enough to do it."

I think some people forget how cold-blooded this was.

This is a guy who was shot in the back.

One might have expected

this accused murderer

wanted to say something to Brian Thompson before killing him.

You know, "You dirty rat. You...

"You're responsible for the deaths of millions," et cetera.

But he didn't do that.

It's the lone wolf theory.

That's what we fear the most, is the lone wolf,

where he doesn't tell anybody what he's doing,

he travels by himself, he keeps a very low profile

and he tracks down his prey and does his thing.

Luigi Mangione,

the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson,

is now in New York City after waiving extradition from Pennsylvania.

Several police officers

and even the mayor of New York, Eric Adams, accompanied Mangione.

We're seeing the radicalization of our young people.

We're seeing our young people believing

that the answer to a problem is by using violence.

I think it is the wrong way to go.

Mangione is facing several charges,

including first degree murder and furtherance of terrorism

and unlawful possession of a ghost gun.

Charging the crime of murder in the first degree

and other related charges.

How do you plead to this indictment, sir? Guilty or not guilty?

He leans into the microphone to say the words clearly...

Not guilty.

..."Not guilty," with a level of confidence.

Just... He's unperturbed by the whole process,

like, "This is beneath me."

"Sorry, I have to show up and go through all of this.

"But time will tell. You will see this was necessary."

I'm very concerned about my client's right to a fair trial in this case.

He's being prejudiced by some statements

that are being made by government officials.

He's a young man and he is being treated

like a human ping pong ball,

like some sort of political fodder, like some sort of spectacle.

He was on display for everyone to see

in the biggest staged perp walk I've ever seen in my career.

It was absolutely unnecessary.

This has to stop and we're gonna fight these charges,

whether it's in state or federal, to the fullest extent.

Thank you, Your Honor.

It sure seems to me his defense is not going to be, "I didn't do it."

He could try insanity, but I don't think he's going to.

I think he would refuse.

That would undermine his entire cause.

But as a practical matter,

the defense is likely gonna focus all on jury selection,

trying to find people who will sympathize,

or at least understand,

why Luigi Mangione allegedly did what he did.

Free Luigi! Free Luigi!

Reaction to Thompson's death has been swift

from people across the state and country.

I knew Brian. Tragic.

Brian was a wonderful person,

with a big heart and who lived life to the fullest.

Our hearts are broken and we are completely devastated by this news.

He touched so many lives.

I just want people to know

that this was a young boy

who worked hard to be successful.

He could've done a lot of good in this world

and he was taken way too soon.

But Brian Thompson became

completely forgotten, as a person.

He became the representative

for the healthcare industry that deserved to die.

Luigi Mangione dropped...

Yeah.

Luigi Mangione got a stunning amount of support.

Luigi Mangione,

the suspect in the shooting of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare,

has become the hottest cold-blooded killer in America.

I'm not sure what this says about us.

Luigi Mangione was being treated as some sort of hero.

From what I know now, I'd say, yes, he is.

- We'll see what the end outcome is. - You really think--

- Absolutely. - Accused of murder, he's a hero.

Absolutely.

I host a call-in radio show and when I talked about the fact

that it is abhorrent that people are trying to defend him,

almost every caller called in to yell at me.

Well, what I got is, I guess you guys just missed the real news

and the fact that there's tens of thousands of people

that are dying every year because of the damn greed.

It's gonna happen even more.

I guarantee you won't find a unanimous jury

to convict this guy. Why? He doesn't ------- deserve it.

I think it is shameful

to somehow blame Brian Thompson

for his own murder.

People wanted somebody to scapegoat.

They found it in Brian Thompson because he was the CEO

of the largest health insurance company in the US.

And so they naturally saw a young man like Luigi,

who's a very handsome guy, he's very charismatic.

He allegedly committed his crime in a very spectacular way.

Of course there were gonna be people who would see him as a folk hero.

It was immediately clear to me

why someone might have wanted to kill this guy.

The December 4th Legal Committee wanted to give a voice

to all the people and the anger that they felt.

One $20 donor writes, "NYPD officer here.

"We're rooting for you behind the scenes"

and then describes a loved one who passed away

after insurance claims were denied.

One doctor who donated says, quote,

"I applaud Luigi for his courage, heart and passion."

A nurse who donated $100 calls Luigi a soldier of the people.

"If anyone deserves a badge of honor, it is you."

I don't think it's possible

to be the CEO of a for-profit health insurance company

and not have blood on your hands.

I understand the cord that was struck.

Just hearing the difficulties that others had

prompted me to share.

The part about me not feeling sad

is thinking about the role

and the position and what that did.

I know that the CEO is not the person

who looks at, you know, individual claims

and yet there's policy there that had significant consequences

for the lives of thousands of people and their families.

Sometimes we talk about the Robin Hood Syndrome.

This is off the charts.

Free Luigi! Free Luigi!

People are donating to his defense fund,

even though he doesn't need money.

Young women are writing him letters and throwing him kisses.

They're trying to make him a hero.

No-one is a hero that has to use this kind of means

to get a point across.

The thing is, people aren't talking about the US healthcare system.

People are talking about Luigi.

He's become a meme.

People are focusing on Luigi.

Although he had this hatred of posturing,

it does feel like an act of posturing.

By killing, allegedly, again...

By allegedly killing Brian Thompson,

he's not going to fix the healthcare system in the US.

It's just not gonna happen.

I think he was intelligent and he was somebody

who genuinely wanted to help people and so it's just a great waste.

Nothing good has come of this.
