🚨🇺🇸FRIEND OF MANGIONE: “UNFATHOMABLE” THAT HE’S ACCUSED OF MURDER A former classmate and roommate of Luigi Mangione expressed shock over the news of his arrest for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. “This is unfathomable,” the friend, identified as RJ, said during an interview. RJ described Mangione as a “thoughtful” and “friendly” person who led a book club, loved hiking, and frequently discussed social issues with an inquisitive nature. RJ confirmed Mangione had back surgery but said he never talked about guns or violence, adding: “I can’t make any sense of it.” Mangione, 26, was arrested in Altoona, PA, where his backpack was found to contain a 3D-printed gun and silencer. He remains in custody as investigations continue. Source: CNN

🚨🇺🇸LUIGI MANGIONE’S X ACCOUNT REMOVED, THEN RESTORED BY ELON Luigi Mangione’s X account was temporarily suspended before being reinstated, with Elon stating: “This happened without my knowledge. Looking into it.” Meanwhile, Meta permanently removed his Facebook and Instagram accounts, and YouTube deleted three dormant channels belonging to Mangione under its creator responsibility guidelines. YouTube also removed an impersonation channel that posted a cryptic countdown video Monday, stating: “If you see this, I’m already under arrest.” Social media activity suggests Mangione may have become distant from friends in recent months, with posts indicating missed commitments and prayers for his well-being shortly before his arrest.
