After seemingly acting so carefully right before and after the shooting I’m perplexed as to why he had so much evidence still on him (Gun/silencer, Fake ID, manifesto) during the arrest. One would think he would have discarded or destroyed those things as soon as possible after the incident.

With is face pretty much being captured on camera in the hostel and in an Uber I'm not sure there was much point hiding it. He was going to get caught shortly whatever he did.

> Mr Mangione previously worked as a programming intern for Fixarixis, a video game developer. What? Do they mean Firaxis? Devs of some Civilization and X-Com versions?

Yeah, there are screenshots of his LinkedIn floating around that show he apparently did Bugfixes on CIV 6. (The profile has since been scrubbed of course)

It's not scrubbed, still here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigi-mangione/

RE ... that some of those customers are unhappy.... Articales show they had lots of unhappy customers.... Also when employes get income of several million a year seems excessive. The CEOS income was around $50,000 a business DAY , probably more that lots people earn in a year. Its reported these customers died/ went bankrupt as a result of insurance company refusals . ( Ive always thought needs to be much stronger go…

The CEO who was killed was paid about $0.20 per patient last year.

Do you think those patients would have been better off with that $0.20 still in their pocket, and a less qualified CEO running the company?

His x posts read like he was on an adderall bender.

I wouldn't be surprised if he went into psychosis after losing a lot of sleep and never really got back to stability.

Adderall and a passion rabbit-hole like societal change are a dangerous combination. The more deep you dive, the more disinterested people become with you, and the more disconnected you become with other people.

TBH, this feels like some kind of psychotic break. He just kind of stops posting out of nowhere. On twitter there are some attempts from others to reach him that seem concerned for his wellbeing: https://x.com/DanielleFong/status/1866211089660477490

Totally agree.

I wouldn't be surprised if he went on an adderall bender that he never recovered from. Adderall and rabbit hole topics without a resolution (societal change) are not a good mix.

I'm weirdly not too surprised due to this belief I have that software developers would make effective criminals. A lot of this boils down to a belief I have that not getting caught in the first place is easy. Murders have something like a 50% solve rate and you can decrease your chances of getting caught with a little knowledge on how to evade common forensic techniques along with some planning. Those who get caught…

Careful. That solve rate is overall. When planning your life in crime you probably want to use the solve rate for the particular type of people you plan to murder.

The solve rate for murders of white people is generally in the 80+% range, which is probably what you'd want to use if going after CEOs.
