An officer asked him to pull down his mask and recognized him as the suspect from the New York shooting. When an officer asked Mangione if he had been to New York recently, he “became quiet and started to shake.”

So what was he doing eating at McDonald’s?

His grandfather owned a way-rightwing talk radio station; his cousin is the voice of Trump in the Maryland legislature. Luigi Mangione – the likely killer of the United Healthcare guy – has impeccable, historic, far-right, family credentials.

He seems to have peeled off from the family and acted from lefty motives, but ideologically it’s all a bit murky. Look what happened when les héritiers de Limbaugh attacked Mangione’s murderousness as clearly coming from/cheered on by the left.

[Ben] Shapiro and [Matt] Walsh harshly condemned liberals for cheering on the assassination in respective episodes of their eponymous podcasts, titled “The EVIL Revolutionary Left Cheers Murder!” and ” Why The Left Is Really Celebrating The Murder Of A CEO.”

But their followers disagreed with their criticisms and defended the left, arguing that they felt the same way about Thompson’s death …

“The fact that [M]att is trying to paint this as a left wing issue, when there’s clearly bipartisan celebrations going on, just goes to show how out of touch [wealthy] celebrities are, whether on the right or left, with regular everyday ordinary people,” one user said...

A third told Shapiro, “Just because ‘the left’ likes something doesn’t mean you have to instinctively hate it. Wake up and read the room bro.”

Disgustingly, portions of both left and right in this country seem pleased with what Mangione has done.

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.

By the by: If you were his cousin – the politician – and you saw this all over the media —

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

[W]itnesses at the laundromat on Saturday said Coriz got into an argument with a male juvenile and two female juveniles over use of a washing machine, which escalated into a fight. 

Navratilova nails it on the Sadeian sick boys of Iran, who elaborate upon their torture fantasies with each iteration of the beautifully named Chastity Bill.

And keep your eye on the Islamists who just took Syria. UD’s optimism about them is high; but they too may want to scrape clits off, force black robes on, forbid going outside, etc. etc.

Sure hope not! But wouldn’t be surprised if it’s in the cards.

A scandal-magnet, it’s always sandblasting the names of generous scummy alumni from its buildings, firing degenerate coaches, and, as of yesterday, watching as an assistant law school dean is escorted to prison for three years for stealing the shit out of the place over ten – count ’em! ten! – years.

‘A number of administrators departed Seton Hall after the embezzlement was uncovered. Kathleen Boozang stepped down from her post as law dean but remains on the faculty.’ Why all the departures? Because they appointed as a dean a person who under their noses for a decade stole – with two additional employees – the school’s money. And all of this also under the close eye of the Catholic church (read Seton’s pretentious and – in context – hilarious holier than thou thing here).

UD‘s thing is go ahead and be Yeshiva University, run by Madoff, Merkin, Wilf, and Rennert; be Liberty U under Falwell Jr; be slimy Seton Hall. But don’t try to snow me with your piety.

… the shooter.

… but not be incarcerated for murder, so she came up with this.

“Now the cops just need to narrow down their list of suspects to anyone in America who hates their health care plan and has access to guns… This guy [wrote on his bullet casings because] there’s so many bullet casings on the streets of New York … he wants to make sure we knew which ones were his.”

You could also quibble with the repetition of experts and expertise.

A gloss on Kierkegaard. UD‘s meditation garden is already generating insights!
