but hadn’t actually hurt Mangione or anybody he cared about, AFAIK

Mangione supposedly had chronic health issues that may have been the basis of hatred for the health insurance business - https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/12/11/luigi-mangione-back-pain-healthcare-shooting/

    I've heard that, but he doesn't seem like the kind of person who kills someone due to their medical issues. For that, I picture someone confined to a wheelchair, or forced to use crutches, or severely addicted to pain meds.

    Though on the other hand I don't know of anyone who became murderous over being forced to use a wheelchair / crutches / pain meds either.

    I do agree with your overall point where you'd prefer to be agnostic regarding this whole issue, but that's also exactly why I wouldn't go off into theorising either about what is required to make a man want to kill a healthcare insurance CEO, or what kind of a person Mangione "seems like".
