The attack on the 50-year-old executive—allegedly by the now 27-year-old Luigi Mangione—immediately sparked an outpouring of public fury not at the gunman, but at UnitedHealthcare itself.

      Yes. They’ve vested him up and assigned an excessive guard detail during transport, I assume for the sake of theater.

          I forget who it is that was like “he’ll never make it in prison, he has no idea what he’s in for”

          Obviously, he’s even more of a hero in there

            I saw a cool analysis by someone with a lot of incarcerated relatives. When Luigi was 1st transported from PA to NY, the quality of his haircut and eyebrow shaping indicated that he was especially well cared for in jail.

              That is a very interesting point, and kind of stands for itself. Dude showed up in court looking like an Instagram model… How else could he clean up so well in prison?

            “This guy’s not ready,” Watters said. “He’s way too soft. He’s going to get annihilated on the inside.”

      That vest is absolutely not bullet proof. That’s a shank vest. It can stop knives and small arms, but any larger firearm would go right through it. It’s the type of vest you wear under your clothes for some protection. They’re clearly using it for theater.
