Indeed. It would be even more appropriate if, in addition to his name, he did not have a gun, but he did have some cannoli.
I thought his other bother was Daryl
Do you mean he did not botch a heist four years ago? And the accomplice he abandoned to be caught by authorities does not have some punny name like “Stitch Hessian”?
Oh Lord, he’s one of those “reject modernity embrace tradition” types.
So much confusion in such a small package.
A killer Weeboo incel?
Don Quixote/Donkey Hoodie?
Now is not the time to be picky about our heroes.
IIRC while the Unabomber was uncaught he was a folk hero to many disaffected folks.
Once he was caught the reality of how far he wasn’t the hero of the common man came to light and his image quickly changed to reclusive useless crank.
I suspect this fellow’s following is quickly going through their own disillusionment phase.
Heroic attacker of Big Health to incel fatcat loozer in 1 day flat.
Wait, what?
I’m sure that Post reporters have some law enforcement contacts with substantial mutual-backscratching agreements that could have gotten a name before public release along with an agreement to not scoop until the public release happens, to give them the opportunity to get a quick start on their background research.
I’d bet the contact has earned a couple of substantial pro-cop op-eds the next time the union calls for new contract negotiations.
He worked in a nursing home when he was in high school, lost both his grandparents fairly young, and it sounds like he has chronic back pain that he hasn’t been able to get treated. Sounds like a typical disaffected young well-to-do white guy who got radicalized by internet brainrot and decided he had the means to do John Wick stuff about it.
I’d like to be able to read his “manifesto” before I completely write him off.
Yep. The only way to remain a ‘folk hero’ was to vanish completely, perhaps after taking out a few more fat cats.
Now he’s just a guy who threw away a life of both privilege and achievement and for what? An instantly replaceable CEO whose name I’ve already forgotten.
The badly written NY Post article seems to be claiming that Penn is a private school. Isn’t it public?
Also, without any defence of his actions, I can sympathize with a lot of his complaints. Re: traditional culture, in some ways he’s right, but in many laughably wrong, and clearly doesn’t fully understand cultural systems and the individual’s freedom (= lack thereof) within them.
Despite the name (University of Pennsylvania), it’s a private university. Penn State is the state’s public university.
(Similarly, I labored under the misconception that the University of Southern California was a public school for many years.)
Penn is a private Ivy League school. Penn State is a public university.
The University of Pennsylvania is a private, and very prestigious, school.
The main public university of that state is Pennsylvania State University.
Bit of a hijack but Penn State (at least the main campus) isn’t really public either. It’s “State Affiliated” (kind of public-private hybrid status), along with Temple, Lincoln, and Pitt. The Penn State branch campuses and the PASSHE campuses are public.
On edit apparently the branch campuses aren’t public either.
Thanks, all re: PA universities.
BBC is reporting that he is a cousin of a Republican state politician, Nino Mangione. Not significant but interesting.
This means there’s a Waluigi Mangione who works in private equity.
I believe they may have been referring to Gilman School, a combined primary and secondary private school he attended, which reportedly charges $40K annual tuition.
It sounds like the family has the money for top lawyers, but I’m skeptical that top-tier lawyers would want a case that they’re guaranteed to lose. This is an open-and-shut case if ever there was one. “Health insurance companies are scum” may be a factual statement but it isn’t a defense.
