The suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson is a private school valedictorian and tech whiz, who used social media to critique society. Luigi Mangione, 26, of Towson, Maryland, maintains several social media accounts, including a Goodreads profile he used to give the anti-technology manifesto penned by "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski a four-out-of-five star review. While Kaczynski was a "violent individual" and "rightfully imprisoned," his actions are "more accurately seen as those of an extreme political revolutionary," Mangione wrote. Mangione's review also shared unattributed quotes justifying violence against corporations and their leaders: "When all other forms of communication fail, violence is necessary to survive." When Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday morning, authorities said he was carrying his own manifesto, a three-page, handwritten document.
