00:00Being this good-looking may actually be a crime when it comes to 26-year-old Luigi Mangione.
00:04The outrageous, cold-blooded homicide of a millionaire health insurance CEO has the
00:08country completely divided. But one aspect of the crime everyone seems to agree with?
00:13The alleged shooter is a total babe.
00:19News outlets are reporting the capture of a suspect in the now-infamous shooting that claimed
00:23the life of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, happening in front of a hotel right before sunrise
00:29in New York City's bustling Midtown neighborhood, security cameras captured a few glimpses of the
00:34alleged killer. Now, after days of speculation, authorities believe 26-year-old Luigi Mangione
00:40could be the perpetrator behind this shocking crime. Earlier this morning in Altoona, Pennsylvania,
00:45members of the Altoona Police Department arrested Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old male,
00:52on firearms charges. Mangione, the person of interest in the shooting, set the internet ablaze
00:56for his unexpected good looks after police began circulating his photo. People were quick to fawn
01:01over him, particularly after a photo went viral of Mangione lowering his face mask while flirting
01:06with a female employee of a nearby hostel. Police have since tracked down their suspect in Altoona,
01:11Pennsylvania, and more information about Mangione has been released. There's just one problem.
01:16The new info about the vigilante has only made his lore more captivating.
01:20The local police came quickly, apprehended him, brought him in for questioning.
01:24So who the heck is Luigi Mangione? According to news reports, he's a former high school
01:29valedictorian from Baltimore, Maryland, who went on to study artificial intelligence at
01:33the University of Pennsylvania, a prestigious Ivy League institution.
01:36The class of 2016 is truly defined by its inventive pioneering mentality
01:41that accompanies a strong commitment to Yeoman tradition.
01:43Police believe Mangione is also behind social media posts that support anti-capitalist rhetoric
01:49and climate change reform, as well as posts that raged against the health care industry
01:52in the United States. Mangione has been glorified by many, not only for his looks,
01:56but for his vigilantism. Countless commenters online have praised the UHC shooter for making
02:01a statement against the US health care system, and particularly UnitedHealthcare, which denies
02:06nearly one third of all claims. The collective reaction to the murder was less than sympathetic,
02:10revealing a deep frustration with the for-profit health care system.
02:13Last year, two elderly people insured by United died. They were denied life-saving
02:18coverage by United because the company used an AI model with a 90% error rate to determine the claim.
02:24The alleged shooter was caught inside of a McDonald's with multiple fake IDs,
02:28and upon further investigation, officers recovered a firearm on the man,
02:32as well as a suppressor, both consistent with the weapon used in the murder.
02:35Mangione also had a manifesto on his person, law enforcement sources told the New York Times.
02:40These newly public details about Mangione led internet sleuths to the alleged shooter's
02:45personal social media pages, such as his Facebook and Twitter accounts.
02:49It's here where netizens realize the possible shooter is indeed as handsome as was suspected,
02:53and he's clearly a big fan of the gym, too. But on Mangione's Goodreads page,
02:57where users can review books, he left a detailed review of An Industrial Society and Its Future,
03:02an essay written by Ted Kaczynski, better known as the domestic terrorist, the Unabomber.
03:07It's here where Mangione agrees with Kaczynski's belief that industrial advances have ultimately
03:12harmed humanity, writing, These companies don't care about you, or your kids, or your grandkids.
03:17They have zero qualms about burning down the planet for a buck, so why should we have any
03:21qualms about burning them down to survive? So is Luigi Mangione a dangerous vigilante,
03:26or America's newest folk hero? The answer will certainly emerge soon,
03:29and fans of Mangione's hunky appearance will no doubt be following the story closely.
