Luigi Mangione Charged with Murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4, 2024, Amid Poll Showing 70% Blame Insurance Profits
Dec 27, 2024, 03:30 PM
Luigi Mangione has been charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot and killed in New York on December 4, 2024. Mangione, a 26-year-old valedictorian from Gilman School, has become a controversial figure, with some seeing him as a vigilante and others as a common criminal. Following the incident, there has been a notable increase in merchandise sales related to Mangione. A recent poll indicates that approximately 70% of Americans believe that health insurance profits and coverage denials share responsibility for Thompson's death, although they assign greater blame to Mangione himself. The poll reflects a growing frustration with the U.S. health insurance system, which many believe contributes to societal issues, including this high-profile murder. Supporters of Mangione have reportedly raised nearly $200,000 for his legal defense, further complicating public sentiment surrounding the case.
