Luigi Mangione had a busy Thursday, with a whirlwind two-state courthouse tour turned spectacle featuring a helicopter ride, a throng of escorts – including the mayor of New York City at one point – and new revelations of his alleged intent to “wack” an insurance company CEO. The 26-year-old murder suspect began his day at a jail in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, his home for the last 10 days, and ended it in a notorious federal prison in New York. Along the way, he participated in three court hearings, was hit with four new charges, and hopped a ride in several vehicles, a plane and a helicopter – with cameras tracking him nearly every step of the way. Tourists were seen nearby taking videos and photos upon his arrival at a Manhattan heliport. The eventful day came two weeks after the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan sidewalk, sparking a dayslong manhunt for a bushy-browed suspect that ultimately led to Mangione’s arrest at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania. Investigators believe Mangione, a former high school valedictorian and Ivy League graduate born into a well-to-do family, appeared to be driven by anger against the health insurance industry and “corporate greed,” according to a New York City Police Department intelligence report obtained by CNN. The targeted killing of a health care insurance executive unleashed what some observers describe as Americans’ pent-up anger and frustration with the nation’s health insurance industry. Mangione’s striking physical appearance, too, has given him a quasi-folk hero status online – or at least a sympathetic hearing from those with their own health care insurance issues.
