The man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare’s CEO has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism, prosecutors said Tuesday as they worked to bring him to a New York court from a Pennsylvania jail.
Luigi Mangione already was charged with murder in the Dec. 4 killing of Brian Thompson, but the terror allegation is new.
Under New York law, such a charge can be brought when an alleged crime is “intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policies of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion and affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping.”
Hmmm idk, I don’t feel terrorized
Good! We need to VIOLENTLY PROTECT the People who kill HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of AMERICANS (INCLUDING Children) a year!
Terrorism = inciting mass terror through your actions
The only terror incited here is toward the ceos which are the exact opposite of the masses.
I hope he gets a fair trial and the prosecutors get told by the judge to eat sand for bringing in meaningless charges.
This was like the literal opposite of terrorism
The only people terrorized by this are health insurance CEOs, and they deserve to be terrorized considering how many people their rapacious, brutal profiteering have killed or crippled, both in a medical and financial sense.
Not just health insurance CEOs: the capitalist class is terrified.
