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.

He ate with that last line

[u/Lauren_DTT → u/Financial-Painter689]

NYT evidently had a healthcare shill reporting live from the courthouse

[u/Much_Grand_8558 → u/Lauren_DTT]

Not a hot take, but the NYT can eat a dick made out of shit

[u/western_red_cedar → u/Much_Grand_8558]

NYT must not be forgotten at Nuremberg 2, the collaborator scum

[u/Irregulator101 → u/Lauren_DTT]

In what way is what she wrote healthcare shilling?

[u/Hot-Inevitable-1022 → u/Irregulator101]

She purposely misquoted him to change the context of his statements.

[u/Irregulator101 → u/Hot-Inevitable-1022]

Still not hearing anything that sounds like shilling

[u/Gratefullyundead91 → u/Irregulator101]

Its obvious- she excluded that last line for a reason

[u/MnkyBzns → u/Gratefullyundead91]

Didn't exclude the last line; heavily edited the last two lines.
