Yesterday we were in Washington, D.C., and we missed some major news, the Daniel Penny news in particular. Blake, thank you for filling in. You did a great job at that breaking news hour.
I have a lot to say about that, but I need to really kind of combine my thoughts. I'm going to get to the more breaking news, though, but it is phenomenal news that Daniel Penny walks free. They're still going to go after him, by the way. They're still going to go after him on civil charges. So he's not completely out of the woods. However, criminally, it is a major win for justice and the American way of life. The suspected UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter has been apprehended after a week-long manhunt. This is one of the weirdest stories that we've seen in quite some time and one of the saddest. The suspected shooter, Luigi Mangione, was spotted at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Police arrived and they found he was using the same fake ID that was used by the shooter. They also found a silenced pistol with him, which they described as a ghost gun, a gun assembled from parts purchased online.
Mangione had a short 262-word note similar to a brief manifesto, reminds you almost of the Unabomber manifesto, which attacked companies that, quote, continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it, unquote. The fact pattern of the story is really remarkable. Mangione, the supposed downtrodden hero of the working class, is from a very well-off family in Maryland and attended an Ivy League school, the University of Pennsylvania. Brian Thompson, the man he murdered in cold blood, was the son of a farm worker and went to Iowa State. So why did he do it? Why did he kill this CEO in cold blood? We're sure to learn a lot more, but from scouring Mangione's social media profile, we've learned a lot. Mangione appears to have been a person of immense promise. He was a high school valedictorian and had an Ivy League degree in computer science. As a young man, he doesn't seem to have been that far left of a radical. In fact, he seems to have been politically centrist.
But then something went terribly wrong. Mangione was supposed to participate in a friend's wedding this fall when he suddenly vanished and stopped speaking even to his family and friends. According to his friends, Mangione had a dramatic personality change after undergoing back surgery. He also posted about experimenting with psychedelic drugs. Really a bad idea.
