What a Monday it's been, news-wise, and for the NYPD.
Not only did the Daniel Penny verdict drop, but the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been arrested and identified:

The person of interest identified in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is an anti-capitalist former Ivy League student — who liked online quotes from 'Unabomber’' Ted Kaczynski raging against the country’s medical community.
Tech whiz Luigi Mangione, 26, of Towson, Md., was taken into custody Monday morning at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., after an intense manhunt following the coldblooded execution of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last week, sources said.
He has not been charged.
The former prep school valedictorian was caught with a manifesto that appeared to list grievances against the health care industry, including its taking of enormous profits and its alleged shady motives, sources said.
Lots of people speculated -- and cheered -- about the motive in this shooting being tied to health insurance.
So basically, all the liberals cheering the murder of a CEO were cheering on someone who thinks just like them and who murdered an innocent person for ideological reasons. It just shows how sick liberals are and how good it was they lost power last month.

All of this.
On point:

"Mangione has subscribed to anti-capitalist and climate-change causes in addition to showing he despises the healthcare industry in the country, according to law-enforcement sources."
Exactly the kind of 'thinkers' being churned out by Ivy League schools these days.
'Mangione was valedictorian of his 2016 high school graduating class at the Gilman School in Baltimore, where he played soccer, according to online sites. High school tuition at the all-boys school is nearly $40,000 a year."

Of course it's a Champagne socialist.

There's an X account with that name and pic, but we prefer to wait to verify it's his.

And then he allegedly flirted with a hostel employee and took his mask off.
First Italian to actually hit a moving target in 200 years… tragic https://t.co/5aejdIV07P

Okay, that made us chuckle.
He’s gonna end up on the cover of Rolling Stone isn’t he? https://t.co/bCebMFDT2H
