Police question man with gun, suppressor and fake IDs in Pennsylvania in connection with health care CEO killing, sources say

A fucking McDonald's employee? How cucked can you be to work at McDonald's and call the police on this hero?

The man also had a two-page document railing against the health care industry and suggesting violence is the answer, a police official who has seen the document told CNN.

Chat, we might get a manifesto

The weapon is a ghost gun – an untraceable, homemade weapon – another law enforcement source told CNN.

truthers vindicated????

The 26-year-old was picked up at a McDonald’s in Altoona after an employee thought he looked like the man in New York Police Department photos and called police

Hope the snitch gets what’s coming to them

fwiw people on libsky are saying it might not be him since it doesn’t make sense for him to still have the weapon 5 days after the shooting, which I kind of agree with (though he may have been holding onto it to get rid of it in a more secure way)

First Starbucks and now McDonald's. If only he'd been BDSing...

Sounds incredibly convenient tbh

He's a fucking musk-worshipping transphobe?

L. probably wanted to Adjust somebody else , otherwise why not ditch the IDs, gun and suppressor as soon as was convenient. dude got greedy, shoulda taken a flight abroad and chilled at least for a while

UNLESS this is made up by the pigs which is very possible

Death to America

All this about how terrible Mangione's politics are is exactly WHY they wanted to catch him. It's not about punishing that guy. It's about giving a face to a upswell of class solidarity with the hope of alienating people.

The more we focus on the perp, the less we focus on the deed and the good it did, the more the working class falls into bickering about what kind of person he was.

I don't care about the guy. I wanna know about the snitch. They know which McDonald's it was. Who snitched?

Man being questioned is identified as 26-year-old Luigi Mangione published at 11:43

The man being questioned by police in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been identified as 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, police city commissioner of New York City, Jessica Tisch says.

Mangione was reportedly found with an ID that had his name on it, along with a fake ID. He was detained at a McDonald's on Monday morning in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

He has not been charged in connection with the shooting.

This seems to be his twitter: https://xcancel.com/pepmangione

The smile definitely looks the same. I've been googling the guy and he was valedictorian of his high school class. No visible ideological leaning from the twitter account which has a history going back to 2022.

Two things: critical support, regardless of his viewpoints he did a cool thing. Second, maybe it's good that it's another chud adjacent guy so we don't get targeted.

Rip to a real one.

I wonder if any American normies will stop to consider why this particular killing became a manhunt across half the nation within days, when similar crimes happen all across America every day without such efforts.

See also: the guy they name drop in the article who was on the run from terror charges for seven years for releasing animals from a fur farm.

Put me in the don't jump to conclusions camp. Going through details none of this makes really clicks.

I mean, let's be honest, it's Western Pennsylvania

I'm honestly surprised there aren't more people being arrested with fake ID's and suppressors on hand

lol just gettin a McChicken while the most wanted man in the US

Dude why??

Police also traced his movements before the shooting via a Greyhound bus originating in Atlanta and bound for New York City.

This kind of backwards surveillance is chilling

Not particularly convinced they've got the right guy. They've got a guy and whether it's THE guy or not, this guy was dumb as hell. Doesn't feel consistent with someone who's evaded arrest for almost a week with next to no leads. Could be a copycat, could be a dude intentionally being a decoy, could be a frame job or maayyyybe it really is the dude and he's being a lot luckier and less clever than we thought. I don't know, but this seems inconsistently sloppy.

New type of guy just dropped: Guy who loves AI and is willing to kill anyone who uses it in a detrimental way because they're giving it a bad name.

he's a yarvinist fascist accelerationist

Try to keep post titles matching with article titles if you're not including a screenshot of the headline

lol was he actually planning to kill other people if this is real?

If he's gonna keep the gun and suppressor around he might as well have just made the gun work properly to begin with, everyones assumption about it not cycling was that he obviously was just planning to toss the gun and suppressor afterwards.

Why the fuck would you still have the gun with a suppressor a week after the doing it? Could you not run off to South America for a few weeks? You escaped on a bus and they can't identify you.

Authorities also recovered a “fraudulent New Jersey ID matching the ID our suspect used to check into his New York City hostel before the shooting,”

DOG GET RID OF THE FAKE ID WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

There's no way.

In addition to the weapon and fake ID found on the suspect, Tisch said, police recovered “clothing, including a mask, consistent with those worn by our wanted individual.”

HE CHANGED CLOTHES. HE WOULDN'T BE UNAWARE

What did he forget to fucking shower in the past week so he had gunpowder residue on him still?

"Working off of a tip, police stopped a person traveling by bus and recovered a suppressor – a device that muffles the sound of a firearm – and a number of false IDs, one official added."

Erghhhhhhhh so dumb luck ffs

I wonder if he was prepping for another go in western PA. Getting a blended iced coffee is just part of the ritual at this point.

His name is Luigi!? If this is the guy then we all need to do some self Crit on our collective anti Italian biases

As Harlan Ellison once said: "I'm a crank, what do you want from me?".

Man fuck, can't have nothing in this absolute hellhole country.

Copycat caught before he could make his move?

his reading list didn't contain delay deny defend, did it??

Pretty sure that’s a wrap

Also pretty sure this is where we return to where we were before this happened

Manifesto was 3 pages and handwritten.

Death to fucking America

The bourgeois press made this a national story and did all the consent-manufacturing possible to villainize this hero

I'm a truther. He's 100% set up to be the patsy just like Lee Harry Oswald, and just like Oswald, he's going to be rubbed out.

How sure are we they have the right guy? The vibes seem off to me.

Permanently Deleted

Yep, time for the shittiest timeline.

I think again we have to think about how to manage and work around . After all, looks like this person is going to have dogshit ideology. So rather than hope for more single combat we must organize so that an ideologically coherent (not pure, just left-wing) coalition can agitate and fight for real change.

I think this also gets to "the death of one CEO is inconsequential, the overturning of the system is our goal, therefore we do not support adventurism because it does not achieve goals" thinking. We're now going to have to articulate how a left program is superior to the weird right wing reactionary brain worms this guy might well have.

I don't know if it's copium but I'm not inclined to believe anything the pigs claim, especially after their frenzied scattershot "we definitely got em" claims over the past few days.

Let this be a reminder that yes, cops can solve whatever crime they want and it gets super easy to do once capital enters the ring

Luigi Mangione

seems like this guy may have been more of a ‘techbro anti-’ type personality rather than a modern day

latex makeup+fake mustaches + dump a gun + go to log cabin

Reddit account is suspended

Damn... RIP to a real one.

Really doubt this is the same guy. None of this makes sense to me but who knows

It's Luig-over

Breloom fans in shambles.

You guys are not going to be happy with him

Gladio?

This seems as faked as epsteins suicide. The NY bourgeoisie were putting a ton of pressure on the NYPD to find someone who killed one of their own class, and the cops picked the first patsy who turned up, and are claiming the evidence fits.

I dunno, if he really was the guy, wouldn't the police have shot him dead?

Maybe the Pennsylvania police wouldn't have as much motivation to off him as the NYPD, but still... if he's really the guy, the government now risks a good-looking dude most people like to be interviewed on why he did it. Not to mention a drawn out court case. They're risking nationwide radicalization, even if this guy really is a cringe Elon fan. Yes, even if this guy isn't a leftist and hasn't changed in the last few months, he could still be a "healthcare pls" kinda fella.

Or... and I'm absolutely getting into conspiracy theories here... some libertarian saw this shit on the news, somehow had access to private investigation info like the exact fake ID card used (Maybe he knows some cops? Maybe anonymous is leaking info?), and already owned a similar enough gun. He thought, "Yeah, this sounds like a money making opportunity, and since I didn't do it they'll ultimately find me innocent anyway", and travels to a different area full of health insurance vampires. I can't imagine the amount of donations, fame, and maybe even book and movie deals this kind of folk hero could get in the future.
