A fucking McDonald's employee? How cucked can you be to work at McDonald's and call the police on this hero?

    It honestly makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Someone working at McDonalds could absolutely have their lives changed in a serious material way by the reward money being offered by the authorities here. It's awful but America has done an absolutely incredible job at separating out workers into individual units that are meant to fight each other for scraps rather than allowing them to organize into coherent worker groups with class solidarity. This is exactly the kind of thing America was built to do and has decades of propaganda encouraging this sort of behavior so it shouldn't be surprising.

    fwiw people on libsky are saying it might not be him since it doesn’t make sense for him to still have the weapon 5 days after the shooting, which I kind of agree with (though he may have been holding onto it to get rid of it in a more secure way)

    The 26-year-old was picked up at a McDonald’s in Altoona after an employee thought he looked like the man in New York Police Department photos and called police

    Hope the snitch gets what’s coming to them

    Yeah this section stuck out to me.

    What do you mean exactly, police, that he "had a document"?

    Like he had it written out in paper form and was carrying it around with him? Like he wrote it online and published it? Like it is saved on his desktop? If it's the latter, how did you find it?

    I mean, let's be honest, it's Western Pennsylvania

    I'm honestly surprised there aren't more people being arrested with fake ID's and suppressors on hand

    I know greyhound is a fuck but I thought he'd be a little farther away after 5 days than Pennsylvania

    All this about how terrible Mangione's politics are is exactly WHY they wanted to catch him. It's not about punishing that guy. It's about giving a face to a upswell of class solidarity with the hope of alienating people.

    The more we focus on the perp, the less we focus on the deed and the good it did, the more the working class falls into bickering about what kind of person he was.

    I don't care about the guy. I wanna know about the snitch. They know which McDonald's it was. Who snitched?

    Man being questioned is identified as 26-year-old Luigi Mangione published at 11:43

    https://www.bbc.com/news/live/crk0ep61p2mt?post=asset%3Acea5213a-550e-420e-990d-46479ea87642#post

    The man being questioned by police in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been identified as 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, police city commissioner of New York City, Jessica Tisch says.

    Mangione was reportedly found with an ID that had his name on it, along with a fake ID. He was detained at a McDonald's on Monday morning in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

    He has not been charged in connection with the shooting.

    This seems to be his twitter: https://xcancel.com/pepmangione

    The smile definitely looks the same. I've been googling the guy and he was valedictorian of his high school class. No visible ideological leaning from the twitter account which has a history going back to 2022.

    I see that he has a spinal fusion located on his lumbar back on his twitter account banner. Yeah, going through that in your teens or 20s will make you hate the healthcare insurance industry.... Don't ask how I know that. Or do actually, I'm prepared to talk about such.

    Two things: critical support, regardless of his viewpoints he did a cool thing. Second, maybe it's good that it's another chud adjacent guy so we don't get targeted.

    Rip to a real one.

    I wonder if any American normies will stop to consider why this particular killing became a manhunt across half the nation within days, when similar crimes happen all across America every day without such efforts.

    See also: the guy they name drop in the article who was on the run from terror charges for seven years for releasing animals from a fur farm.

    Put me in the don't jump to conclusions camp. Going through details none of this makes really clicks.

    lol was he actually planning to kill other people if this is real?

    If he's gonna keep the gun and suppressor around he might as well have just made the gun work properly to begin with, everyones assumption about it not cycling was that he obviously was just planning to toss the gun and suppressor afterwards.

    Police also traced his movements before the shooting via a Greyhound bus originating in Atlanta and bound for New York City.

    This kind of backwards surveillance is chilling

    I wonder if he was prepping for another go in western PA. Getting a blended iced coffee is just part of the ritual at this point.

    Try to keep post titles matching with article titles if you're not including a screenshot of the headline
