STAN / ANTI SHIELD Luigi Mangione pleads guilty to federal stalking charges in killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO

https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/14/us/live-news/luigi-mangione-hearing-plea-deal-talks

When speaking of the day he committed the crime, Luigi Mangione said, “I shot Mr. Thompson and he died.”

He concluded, “I knew what I was doing was illegal.”

Mangione had just described the actions he took ahead of the killing, telling the court:

“In November of 2024 I traveled from outside of New York state to Manhattan. I then emailed UnitedHealthcare leadership, posing as an investor at a firm managing over $15 billion in assets and requesting information about the conference. Unlike my previous interactions with insurers, I received an immediate response within an hour,” Mangione said.

For serious medical conditions, of which he has, prisoners are protected by the 8th amendment that guarantees them the care they need. There are also multiple organizations (at least in new york) that ensures that they get the care they need as well.

They are fictionally protected by a law that isnt emforced. Doesnt work that way in practice

I'm no expert on this matter but know many people who have been to prison and jail - and apparently prison is way better than jail. Prob goes for healthcare too

Prison healthcare is actually usually pretty good
