OPINION:
The alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare Chief Executive Officer Brian Thompson is getting everything he surely wants (“Journalist releases full text of Luigi Mangione’s manifesto,” web, Dec. 10).
The story of the killing has been prominent in virtually every national and local newscast since it occurred. The man’s photograph is recognizable by tens of millions of people and prominently appears on TV, myriad websites and in print.
We are being told Mr. Mangione’s story and learning details of his grievances against the health care industry and corporate America, complaints he concluded provided him the right to slaughter a husband and father. His notoriety will get him remembered in the annals of history for all the wrong reasons.
The word “vigilante” is too kind to characterize the killer’s actions. He is a domestic terrorist.
