Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old who committed the crime, was well educated and came from family of privilege, apparently felt aggrieved by the health care industry and was making a statement.
According to multiple new sources on both the left and right, ”Mangione’s arrest has turned him into a symbol of resistance for those frustrated by the U.S. health care system.” Wanted posters have popped up around New York City with the pictures of other Health Care CEO’s.
