We've seen a litany of highly educated, well accomplished, high achievement individuals start spitting out all sorts of drivel and twisting themselves into various psychological & sociological knots over all manor of issues...and they're on network television. This guy is 26, that's about far end of the age-range when mental issues fully manifest themselves, we'll see what this guy's deal.

abnmacvSince the entitled assassin went across state lines he might be indicted by the Feds. If convicted send hi to SuperMax in Florence, CO and give him Ted Kacynski's old bunk. Do wonder if he had some form of schizophrenia which could be a potential defense.

Rey HRHI suppose he felt justified given the pain his mother and himself experienced.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

I read the manifesto. It actually makes sense from his point of view. United Health screwed with his and his mom's coverage. He figured payback was justified against the CEO of the company that screwed him.
What is interesting is that he did know the guy's schedule.

Russ59So he’s anti-capitalist and wants to make a name for his cause……but wants to hide his gun purchase by using a ghost gun? Wussy.

It wouldn’t be that hard to have a good idea of when the guy would be walking over.
Shows like that have a pretty detailed production schedule for events including rehearsal times and a list of who is speaking/rehearsing and when. If you find out the guy is rehearsing at 7 you just get to the hotel by 6:30 or so and wait.
It wouldn’t be too hard to get info from someone working the show. If you ever attend a conference look around for the guys wearing all black. That will be the crew. If you saw a few of them at the hotel bar and sat next to them and chatted them up a bit you could easily get what you needed.

I read it too…
Sad story. I’m sure there are lots like it.
But it doesn’t justify his actions.

chellim1Mangione’s X account featured mostly reposts promoting climate activism, lab-grown food, and fitness. He has retweeted neuroscientist Andrew Huberman and World Economic Forum ideologue Yuval Noal Harari, praised a book by Tim Urban as “the most important philosophical text of the early 21st century,” and argued that the solution to falling birthrates involves encouraging “natural human interaction, sex, physical fitness and spirituality.”
The book review site Goodreads shows him as having read 295 titles. Among the many books he reviewed was ‘Industrial Society and Its Future’ by Ted Kaczynski, the infamous ‘Unabomber’.

Mars_AttacksDoes NY have the death penalty?
Now to give Mangione the trial he didn't afford to Thompson. I don't care how much of a dirtbag the victim was perceived, even Al Capone got a trial.
I have zero sympathy to Mangione's "cause". His stunt is going to embolden the violence from the left.
