I believe the relevant cliche is unsung hero.

Luigi Mangione is in custody because a fast food employee in Altoona PA recognized his face from the pictures we’ve all been studying.

Once at the police station, the sources said, officers discovered Mangione had a gun similar to the one used in [Brian] Thompson’s killing, as well as a silencer and a fake New Jersey ID. The suspected gunman allegedly used a fake New Jersey ID when he checked into a Manhattan hostel last month.

Two senior law enforcement officials say Mangione had the name “Marc Rosario” on his fake NJ ID. Three sources familiar with the matter say the suspected gunman checked into the Upper West Side hostel using a fake NJ ID with the name “Marc Rosario.” Other fake IDs were found on Mangione Monday as well, investigators say.

Kaczynski with good looks.

[Mangione is] an anti-capitalist Ivy League grad who liked online quotes from “Unabomber’’ Ted Kaczynski — and seethed in a manifesto, “These parasites had it coming.”

Tech whiz Luigi Mangione, 26, originally from Towson, Md., apparently hated the medical community because of how it treated his sick relative, sources said.

… Mangione was valedictorian of his 2016 high school graduating class at the Gilman School in Baltimore, where he played soccer, according to online sites. High school tuition at the all-boys school is nearly $40,000 a year.

He said at the time of graduation that he planned to seek a degree in artificial intelligence, focused on the areas of computer science and cognitive science at the University of Pennsylvania, according to an interview with the Baltimore Fishbowl.

The tech hotshot graduated cum laude from the private Ivy League institution in Philadelphia with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE), Computer and Information Science in 2020, according to his LinkedIn profile.

He also completed a Master of Science in Engineering (MSE), Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania, his profile states.

Definitely the sort who thinks he can get away with murder.

His parents own two country clubs, one of which, Turf Valley, UD and her sister drove around not long ago, after lunch in the area. He seems to share a grandfather with this Maryland politician. Very wealthy family.

wouldn’t you consider alerting the authorities? Did the guy’s enormous and apparently close-knit family cooperate?
