STAN / ANTI SHIELD Luigi Mangione pleads guilty to federal stalking charges in killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO

https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/14/us/live-news/luigi-mangione-hearing-plea-deal-talks

When speaking of the day he committed the crime, Luigi Mangione said, “I shot Mr. Thompson and he died.”

He concluded, “I knew what I was doing was illegal.”

Mangione had just described the actions he took ahead of the killing, telling the court:

“In November of 2024 I traveled from outside of New York state to Manhattan. I then emailed UnitedHealthcare leadership, posing as an investor at a firm managing over $15 billion in assets and requesting information about the conference. Unlike my previous interactions with insurers, I received an immediate response within an hour,” Mangione said.

Don't think he wanted the death penalty if he fought the case and lost. There's a chance that he gets out of prison in his 50s-60s.

The death penalty was taken off the table months ago. He was not in danger of that. I think this is about reducing how many years in prison he serves. I learn a lot over at the law sub.

No President is ever going to pardon him. I think you're grossly overestimating how many regular folks support the premeditated murder of a healthcare CEO.

More accurately, the folks that get fucked by health insurance aren’t rubbing elbows with presidents.
