Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Mangione literally means "Glutton" in Italian. And it seems his real name. If I read a book where an assassin called "Glutton" shot a CEO I'd think it was on the nose.
Ive spent days imbibing the hopium that this was step one of some V for Vendetta plot and i am now devastated.
Bro should've trimmed or covered his eyebrows, those things will ID him anywhere. Mask + Sunglasses could've made things much harder on the cops. Maybe also be less expressive when on the job("the job" being any part of travelling to and from the site), the smile he has is popular with the audience but it's ID'd him too.
Mangione had a particularly personal reason to hate the medical community — its treatment of an ailing relative, sources said.
Online obituaries show he lost a grandmother in 2013 and grandfather in 2017.
This is all that matters to keep the dude relateable to anyone and everyone.
Mangione also subscribed to anti-capitalist and climate-change causes, according to law-enforcement sources, citing online activity gleaned by authorities.
Where are his anti-capitalist credentials? I don't see this on the twitter. Seems mostly like work-related posting, most of it being bazinga tech stuff. I'm not going to judge a person in the tech industry posting bazinga tech stuff unless they also profess that techbro shit in a personal setting. Nothing about capitalism or capital on his twitter though?? Not sure where they've got this from.
With that said, I also think that being kinda muddle brained without a coherent ideology makes this a more uniting figure. The left of the working class can see what they want in him and the right of the working class can too.
The important aspect is that both halves of the working class agree that he was right to lash out against the ruling class.

cops are idiots probalbly saw he followed AOC (anti-capitalist lol) and some posts about green tech
The eyebrows at best identify him as the guy in the cab, but I am very much not convinced the guy in the cab was the shooter.

Oh no hes hot
I'm still not even sure I buy the picture being the shooter. Pictures have him in completely different clothes to what the shooter was wearing. Now that they've found him he apparently has literally every piece of evidence with him. Not as sus as Epstein's suicide but its up there
