Mangione literally means "Glutton" in Italian. And it seems his real name. If I read a book where an assassin called "Glutton" shot a CEO I'd think it was on the nose.
Ive spent days imbibing the hopium that this was step one of some V for Vendetta plot and i am now devastated.
Bro should've trimmed or covered his eyebrows, those things will ID him anywhere. Mask + Sunglasses could've made things much harder on the cops. Maybe also be less expressive when on the job("the job" being any part of travelling to and from the site), the smile he has is popular with the audience but it's ID'd him too.
Mangione had a particularly personal reason to hate the medical community — its treatment of an ailing relative, sources said.
Online obituaries show he lost a grandmother in 2013 and grandfather in 2017.
This is all that matters to keep the dude relateable to anyone and everyone.
Mangione also subscribed to anti-capitalist and climate-change causes, according to law-enforcement sources, citing online activity gleaned by authorities.
Where are his anti-capitalist credentials? I don't see this on the twitter. Seems mostly like work-related posting, most of it being bazinga tech stuff. I'm not going to judge a person in the tech industry posting bazinga tech stuff unless they also profess that techbro shit in a personal setting. Nothing about capitalism or capital on his twitter though?? Not sure where they've got this from.
With that said, I also think that being kinda muddle brained without a coherent ideology makes this a more uniting figure. The left of the working class can see what they want in him and the right of the working class can too.
The important aspect is that both halves of the working class agree that he was right to lash out against the ruling class.

cops are idiots probalbly saw he followed AOC (anti-capitalist lol) and some posts about green tech
The eyebrows at best identify him as the guy in the cab, but I am very much not convinced the guy in the cab was the shooter.

Oh no hes hot
I'm still not even sure I buy the picture being the shooter. Pictures have him in completely different clothes to what the shooter was wearing. Now that they've found him he apparently has literally every piece of evidence with him. Not as sus as Epstein's suicide but its up there

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
