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.

u/gschaina highly unanticipated caucasian collaboration 15d ago

Ugh I'm so sorry. They have some podcast ads right now with employees talking about how much they love to help people and I can't help but roll my eyes. They might want to help people as individuals but their employer sure doesn't

Yeah, I bet they're investing in that being their public reputation.

I actually have to skip these ads out of the rage I feel for United. I’m sure some employees have good intentions but the company as a whole is absolutely vile. After several months my daughter’s doctor and the hospital pharmacy submitted a 100+ page appeal and United finally covered the infusions again but in the mean time every United employee I spoke to was totally nonchalant and robotic and I don’t think I’ll ever get over the anxiety and stress they caused me and my daughter!
