He spent time in Hawaii at a co-living space during 2022 and 2023. And two people who knew Mangione during that time say that he was dealing with frequent back pain due to an injury. One added that Mangione started a book club, but several members left due to discomfort over what he chose to read.

An online book review from January of this year, apparently written by Mangione, praises some of the writings of the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski.

Ronnie, what's the latest? Well, Michael, we're slowly learning more about who exactly Luigi Mangione is. On the surface, a well-off, private school-educated young man, Ivy League graduate. He worked as a data engineer. All in all, he had a bright future. But five days ago, it took a dark turn. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Did you show... A photo of yourself shirtless hiking?

Yeah, don't worry about it. I just want to get some good pictures of me out there in case I'm ever in the news for murder. Wait, you're going to murder somebody? No, I don't know. I'm not a fortune teller, all right? But... If it happens someday, I want to do the responsible thing and have some thirst traps ready for CNN, all right? So just let me do my report. Okay, all right, fine. Go ahead.

Anyway, the killer's motivations remain a mystery, but what we do know is that... In an America with such easy access to weapons and one where passions run high, a tragedy is just moments away and can have consequences that last for life. Ronny, Ronny, what the hell is this, Ronny? What is this? No, that's just a Ken Burns effect, okay? It helps make still images more dynamic.

Uh, yeah, they will. That's how hotness works, Michael. I mean, just look at Jesus, okay? Would we still be talking about him today if he looked like Rudy Giuliani? Nah, I don't think so. I mean, the fact is, America is obsessed with image, and images in our society can dictate public opinion. And while we wait to hear about the suspect's motive... People are mentioning his history of health.

Stop laughing at this. Why am I in that photo? Why am I 400 pounds? Why am I covered in chili? This sucks. Michael, it's not personal, okay? It's just a comparison. It just makes me look harder, okay? But like I was saying, there was a manifesto, and Mangione does seem to have a serious problem with the health. No, no, that's, no. Ronnie, dude.

And you're not even in that photo. This sucks. Yeah, of course I'm not in the photo. Why would I associate myself with a loser who pees sitting down? Get out of here, Ronnie. Ronnie Chang, everyone. When we come back, we find out who won awards season, so don't go away. I don't pee sitting down.
