In criminal law there is an adage that you can run but
forever you cannot hide
Especially in the era of facial recognition where in public
there are cameras in front, in back and on both sides
The police had posted photos of the man of interest in the
killing of CEO Brian Thompson murder case
Including one which clearly shows his large nose and the
rest of his face
It almost seemed the shooter was taunting police to try to
find him
Shell casings on the ground, with “delay”, “deny” and “defend”
indicating not a random whim
Reward of $10,000 posted by NYPD upped by the FBI by 50
grand
Photos posted online and in public places across the land
The person of interest now in custody now named as Luigi Mangione was working on his PC
In a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania in plain sight for
all to see
Not sure if the person who called the police was a customer
or a McDonalds worker but that person should be looking at 60 grand reward
check
Mangione had a gun in his pocket like the one used to kill
Thompson and a manifesto attacking health insurance companies making it
difficult for his defense attorney to have the jury the murder charges reject
If the shell casings contain his prints or the bullets at
the murder scene match the ballistics of the gun
Mangione’s time as a free man out of prison due to a life
sentence without possibility of parole is done
Mangione’s best hope is the Bragg will be swayed by social
media sick posters who were quick to claim
That United Healthcare’s record of denying valid claims
means that for the murder it rather than Mangione is to blame
But since victim and alleged perpetrator are both white
Mangione will most likely lose that fight
One thing however is probably true after the events in
Altoona today
Is that healthcare insurers CEO’s may breathe easier that
they are less likely to be disgruntled claimant’s prey
