OPINION
Dear Friends,
The killer of the United Health Care CEO, Brian Thompson, a young man named Luigi Mangione was arrested in Pennsylvania at a McDonald’s when an astute employee recognized him from his photos that were circulated nationwide.
The employee and customers restrained him until the cops arrived. Mangione had the handgun, which was the murder weapon on him, and a manifesto. Interestingly, he comes from a wealthy family, went to a fancy prep school and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. His motives, etc. are still not known as he is not talking. Regardless he is being extradited to New York City where he will go on trial for 1st degree murder and most likely will get life in prison without the possibility of parole.
New York does not have the death penalty unfortunately! What a crazy world! Again justice will be done.
That is the way I see it. As always, your feedback is welcome and appreciated. I would love to hear from you about this.
Respectfully Submitted,
JUDSON Bennett-Coastal Network
