"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not."

Wrote Dr. Seuss, in "The Lorax," quoted by Luigi Mangione at Goodreads.

Quoted in "Man Arrested After C.E.O. Killing Showed Interest on Social Media in Self-Improvement/Figures like Andrew Huberman, Tim Urban and the Unabomber feature in posts shared by accounts that appear to belong to the man arrested on Monday" (NYT).

Mangione is the "Man Arrested."

This guy appears to be a bog-standard leftist. Is there any evidence otherwise?

Peachy ayon kay ...

What a waste of cute. He's cute.

Money Manger ayon kay ...

As in "On the Cover of the Rolling Stone".

tim maguire ayon kay ...

We probably shouldn’t be surprised that he’s the privileged child of wealth who went to all the best schools.

Peachy ayon kay ...

Yeah. He will soon be there, on that cover - elevated.
That's not my intent. I was reacting to my looking at the photos at this link.

plus: "Mangione also subscribed to anti-capitalist and climate-change causes"

I hope the guys in his prison think so too. They're definitely going to have to do something about his teeth, though.

Jaq ayon kay ...

He was a big fan of the tech right. Right-left is a dead paradigm.

Dr Weevil ayon kay ...

Someone on Twitter (or maybe at Ace of Spades - I forget, but it was one or the other) says Mangione's developer grandfather was a close friend of the mayor of Baltimore, who was also Nancy Pelosi's father. Small world!

Tom T. ayon kay ...

No indication so far that he or some family member suffered from a denial of care.

mccullough ayon kay ...

Figures it’s a dago

Jaq ayon kay ...

Nancy Pelosi's father was a mobbed up politician who was also associated with "Murder Incorporated."

Jaq ayon kay ...

"Leave the gun, take the Quarter Pounder."

Dave Begley ayon kay ...

Ivy Leaguer. Penn.

FormerLawClerk ayon kay ...

The Unabomber went to Harvard. That was where our government destroyed his mind in the MKUltra experiment.

It's no surprise AT ALL that this kid is Ivy League.

The Jews had better flee now. They're training the new ones to be Nazis.

FormerLawClerk ayon kay ...

He probably got his bill for the Obamacare insurance policy he's required by law to purchase.

I'd be killing CEO's too if I wasn't breaking that law.

Heinrich Boll in The Clown: "The idiots always apply the term antisocial only to the poor"

Drago ayon kay ...

Hey hey hey!! What the heck?! Why I oughta....

....what's that? it's not spelled the same?..................Oh, that's very different.

Never mind.

Mary Beth ayon kay ...

He looks ripped in that backpacking photo. My first thought seeing that was to wonder if he was taking steroids, although I think those tend to be more likely to cause sudden, violent behavior, not deliberate and calculated violent behavior.

The Vault Dweller ayon kay ...

who went to all the best schools
I never heard of any assassin who went to Creighton.

Ampersand ayon kay ...

Rorschach test: Prep school valedictorian/ Ivy League grad guns down public high school grad, U of Iowa grad health insurance company CEO. Who is the bad guy?

Dave Begley ayon kay ...

This Luigi guy is all in on the CAGW scam. No surprise.

rhhardin ayon kay ...

"Oh, boy! A package for me!"
Twisted hermit strikes.

There are thousands of Unibomber haiku on the internet. Just a suggestion.

Wince ayon kay ...

Likely he’s banking on jury nullification based on some injustice he or someone close to him suffered. Not admissible, but…

Narr ayon kay ...

Have you heard about the new Italian tires?

Dago in rain, dago in snow, but when dago flat dago wop wop wop.

FormerLawClerk ayon kay ...

His family is wildly rich and own a country club golf course and another resort in Maryland. He lives in a $2 million house.

There is no injustice those people have ever suffered, certainly not one of being denied critical health care.

He's a bored child of a very Democratic family. ObamaCare I guess didn't turn out like every leftist in the country proclaimed it would.

GingerBeer ayon kay ...

Do you know who else has two Ivy League degrees and attended a toney prep school? Barack Obama.

Robert Cook ayon kay ...

"Nancy Pelosi's father was a mobbed up politician who was also associated with 'Murder Incorporated.'"

No doubt Trump shares close "associates" with Pelosi's pop!

Robert Cook ayon kay ...

Uh...and...?

BUMBLE BEE ayon kay ...

Unabomber was trans? I didn't know that.

Leland ayon kay ...

I see the defamation bot is back. I can’t say I missed them.

GingerBeer ayon kay ...

I'm inspired by the Left's regular decent into Reductio ad Hitlerum. Thanks for playing, Robert.

BUMBLE BEE ayon kay ...

An FBI profiler suggested a medical incident may have prompted the shooting.
He also likened it to the Unabomber's rage against his shrink who was helping with Ted's Dysphoria.

planetgeo ayon kay ...

Right now there are dozens of people like this guy on every Ivy League campus. They've been coddled, propagandized, and groomed for years to become some twisted kind of imagined social justice revolutionary by their too cowardly to personally fight professors/groomers. A person who did nothing to deserve his fate is dead and this kid will likely spend the rest of his life in jail, and his groomers will slink away to groom some more.

This is a shameful reality on every Ivy League campus today.

rehajm ayon kay ...

I thought it was raptured with the rest of them…

Jim at ayon kay ...

No doubt Trump shares close "associates" with Pelosi's pop!

Yeah. No doubt.

Either the government needs to enforce economic laws on the books, tax citizens to oblivion, or progress with the pseudo-modern model of Diversity, equivocation and implosion (DEI).

n.n ayon kay ...

Oh, neither abortion of a "burden" nor Capitol punishment are tolerable in a civilized society. RIP

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not."

That's a big leap to go from "Sharing is caring" to "Ki**ing is caring".

To paraphrase Norm's Hitler joke. The more we find out about this Luigi fella, the more we won't like ourselves.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

"We are all just living in our own private hoosegows."

tcrosse ayon kay ...

Dare I bring up the presumption of innocence? Let's not be to quick to assume this is the guy.

BarrySanders20 ayon kay ...

Pretty sure cold blooded execution was not what the Lorax meant, but hey, some people might interpret differently and draw different lessons.

Oso Negro ayon kay ...

Exactly. Who among us has not visited McDonalds with a printed gun and a homemade manifesto?

Aggie ayon kay ...

Who would have thought that he'd be made by a fast-food worker, who phoned it in? The McDonalds is now being review-bombed as being 'rat-infested'.

Aggie ayon kay ...

Not only that, CNN is burnishing its fallen reputation by scooping the details on his phony IDs and the manifesto. They must have gotten chummy with the FBI boys during all those pre-dawn raids.

Bunkypotatohead ayon kay ...

I wonder if Bragg will bother to prosecute. No blacks were harmed, after all.

Kate ayon kay ...

I've always hated the Dr. Seuss books.

Iman ayon kay ...

Why the Hell couldn’t it have been Chuck Mangione!?

wendybar ayon kay ...

Robert Cook....Please get over your obsession with Trump. It is very unbecoming, when ALL you think about is him, no matter what the subject at hand.

Christopher B ayon kay ...

The bad guys are always the far-right radical grannies praying in front of abortion clinics and fathers who daughters are raped by boys in skirts.

rastajenk ayon kay ...

I have not heard Narr's joke in 50 years; maybe 60.

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

Tim Urban from American Idol?

Anthony ayon kay ...

I found Suess's The Sneetches to be far more relevant social commentary.

Narr ayon kay ...

A lot of people have never heard it at all--ethnic sensitivities have waxed and waned. And I probably never would have heard it myself, fifty years ago, if not for my late MIL, nee' Catanzaro.

Mattman26 ayon kay ...

Seuss' late in life turn to the left (Lorax: barf) leading to tragic consequences.
