UHC Shooter is Luigi Mangione, a UPenn Graduate
Not your typical profile for a shooter. This is really shocking. Thoughts?

Intelligence/perceptiveness is a curse. Inevitably, you will begin asking: why? Why does a CEO make $10 million when there are people starving in the street? Why does no one care?
I suspect this young man was no exception. Once you realize, you have two options: shut up and play along, or do something about it. He chose the latter: I wonder if in his cell he will realize that he chose wrong.
Intelligence is not synonymous with evil. What he did was evil.
Disclaimer: I will be deleting these comments sooner or later. I spend too much time online.
Are you claiming the assassin is evil? I can’t say I agree. I condemn the murder but I would not call it evil.
I wouldn't say that's intelligence, I would say that's a narrow minded view. Intelligence would be looked at as more, it's not right that someone makes that much more, but as people we all contribute, aka, we all clamor for the latest cell hone to take more selfies to post or make food delivery one step easier, while these cells phones are made in horrible conditions by basically slave labor.
I mean, it could be looked at that way, but in the giant scheme of things, the UHC CEO isn't really a main player, sure he runs an insurance company/giant, but its more a machine, the next CEO will be more careful in public, but it will be run the same. Overall, this somewhat reminds me of the show "The Wire", in that, we're all part of a system that we realize isn't great. Anyone who tries to change the system or make it better ultimately gets backlash, and its more about playing within the system than anything else. So, ultimately, if the guy wanted change he shouldn't have shot the CEO where ultimately nothing will change, he could have tried to maybe take the long route and get a little bit of change which is a big win. Problem is, like any other system (government, school, youth sports), too many people are already getting paid based on the current system, and therefore will fight any small changes.
All good points, thank you for your reply.
I can offer an answer to the question: what are we to do? The first step is to condemn: condemn the use of slave labor that makes the iPhones, condemn the apathy toward delivery drivers, condemn until you cannot condemn anymore. I admit to you I type from an iPhone: a terrible thing, but at the very least I have condemned it. I am not totally in denial.
Then, I confess I am not so sure. Although he is far from perfect, I suppose the ideal path is that of Noam Chomsky: get a doctorate in an unrelated field (his was linguistics, I suppose pick whichever you like the most), and begin publishing and speaking. Chomsky’s greatest work in my opinion is on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but he has done good work on exposing the “machine” that you describe. As an aside, Chomsky and our assassin of newfound fame share the same alma mater: perhaps not a coincidence.
Intelligence? The idiot took off his mask to flirt with a cashier before committing premeditated murder and KEPT the murder weapon on his person for days after the crime. Even a cracked out bum knows to ditch the piece. If that doesn't scream idiocy I don't know what does.
I wrote out a very nice reply but I guess it didn’t go through :( . I will summarize here:
Yes, he behaved like an idiot since he shot the CEO, but he clearly is a thoughtful person: I offer his goodreads review of the Unabomber’s manifesto as an example.
”Intelligence” is an overrated word: pensiveness/perceptiveness is more accurate here.
He could gofundme his entire legal defense in an hour
The ladies are thirsty
Mama mia
Damn he shouldn’t have wasted his life like that and done something meaningful like investment banking
Graduated with a data science degree in 2020 and didn’t become a multi-millionaire. Fuck man I’d crash out too
He already is a multi-millionaire.
Apparently his family is loaded according to a few news sources.
Yeah his HS was $40K/yr right?
It is not the typical profile academically but the typical shooter is usually a young male.
