Since yesterday, we’ve learned a lot about the man who allegedly killed Brian Thompson—26-year-old Ivy League graduate Luigi Mangione. The suspect was arrested yesterday at a McDonald’s, and within hours, his social media profiles, GoodReads account, and even high school speeches were circulating online. Friends and acquaintances have also come forward with details about recent interactions with him.
Luigi Mangione came from immense privilege, with a wealthy Maryland family, a grandfather who owned a real estate empire of country clubs and hotels, and an elite high school education costing over $40,000 a year. Yet despite these advantages, Mangione appeared directionless and unstable, as friends noted months before the horrific act he’s accused of committing. It’s entirely possible that Mangione—armed with resources most can only dream of—had access to more money than Brian Thompson, the CEO he allegedly murdered. Thompson, in stark contrast, worked his way up from humble beginnings as the son of a grain elevator worker, earning his place over two decades at UnitedHealthcare. His life was cut short early one morning on his way to work by someone who chose destruction over responsibility.
This is the Left’s new hero. This is the kind of violent individual they choose to support. They’re backing people like Jordan Neely and Luigi Mangione because they seem intent on tearing apart the foundation of this country—the rule of law. That’s the common thread here. Either the rule of law applies equally to everyone—regardless of financial background, profession, or race—or it doesn’t exist at all. And let’s be honest: the Left’s actions suggest they’d rather see the whole system crumble to accelerate their radical agenda.
Conservatives aren’t Bolsheviks; we’re the last line of defense against the arsonists trying to burn civilization to the ground. Brian Thompson’s murder was pure evil, and anyone celebrating it is celebrating the destruction of moral order. If you can’t conserve basic principles like that, you’re conserving nothing.
Ironic how much of his life is on line now while the tranny who shot up a Christian school and killed THREE children and THREE adults had a manifesto that is STILL kept secret.
Also ironic that the shooter of President Trump (in the ear) had SIX cell phones and many writings but all information on him is STILL under wraps.
Maybe they were both deep plants who were activated by lefty activists who wanted to use their acts to 1. get gun control, and 2. kill Trump because they knew they couldn’t beat him.
Doesn’t the media have one investigative reporter who wants to know why there’s such a difference in information after an attempted murder?
Another appeal of Mangione to the left is that he kills because he disagrees. That’s the left’s way. They support using violence to suppress opposing points of view or to intimidate others from expressing them. Like their support for abortion any time for any reason, when something poses an imposition upon their way of life, killing it is a viable solution. Just as with Neely, as long as their threats and actions don’t directly affect THEM, the leftists will endorse it.
Monica Showalter, over at American Thinker, opines that Luigi Mangione was motivated by his “involuntary castration,” and revenge to get back at one of those he felt was responsible for it.
She points out that “involuntary castration,” has, historically led to cases of revenge.
So, the Left, responsible for castrating so many children recently, has blinders on as to how those children are going to feel once they growm up and realized the horror the Left inflicted on them.
For now, they identify with the perpetrator.
But soon they will be the target of many of those same angry eunuchs.
