The man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare’s CEO has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism, prosecutors said Tuesday as they worked to bring him to a New York court from a Pennsylvania jail.
Luigi Mangione already was charged with murder in the Dec. 4 killing of Brian Thompson, but the terror allegation is new.
Under New York law, such a charge can be brought when an alleged crime is “intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policies of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion and affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping.”
Not just health insurance CEOs: the capitalist class is terrified.
One: Peter Thiel is a horrible person and I hope Saint Luigi visits him.
Two: They could chose to change their behavior and be much safer. Stop profiting from exploitation and suffering. You don’t even have to go all the way to being a “good person”. No one’s going to assassinate the guy who quietly lives in a 3BR apartment and spends his afternoons at the museum, even if he’s living off high interest savings accounts.
