Unitedhealthcare ceo shooting suspect quoted the unabomber manifesto on goodreads

A Goodreads account seemingly belonging to Luigi Mangione, the suspect in connection with the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has surfaced. The account has come to

light amid Mangione's detainment at an Altoona, Pa., McDonalds, where he was found in possession of a 9mm "ghost gun,"  multiple fake IDs, and a 3-page manifesto critical of

the health insurance industry, following Thompson's Wednesday, Dec. 4 death. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Mangione's manifesto indicated he "has some ill will

toward corporate America." Bullet casings found at the scene of the crime also had engravings with the words "deny," "defend" and "depose," similar to a

phrase about the insurance industry to describe a strategy of rejecting claims, "delay, deny, defend," which was used as the title of a 2010 book by Rutgers University professor

Jay Feinman. While a motive remains unclear, Mangione's Goodreads account shows that he read and gave a four-star review to Theodore (Ted) John Kaczynski's _Industrial Society and

Its Future_, also known as the Unabomber Manifesto. Although Mangione wrote on Goodreads that Kaczynski was a "violent individual" who was "rightfully imprisoned," he

described his actions "as those of an extreme political revolutionary." He also liked a quote from Kurt Vonnegut's anti-war novel _Slaughterhouse-Five_, and John Stuart

Mill's economic textbook _Principles of Political Economy_ and a quote from Tim Urban comparing knowledge to a tree. The account shows that he had been reading books such as Michael

Pollan's _How to Change Your Mind_, which examines the history of psychedelic drugs, and Pollan's _The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals_, which explores the food

industry. Another book Manigone appeared to be reading was Markus Zusak's historical fiction _The Book Thief_, set in Nazi Germany during World War II. NEVER MISS A STORY — SIGN UP FOR
