Streaming: Luigi Mangione
We examine the brazen and hyperpolarized case of Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old who premeditated, plotted, and pulled the trigger of his self-designed, 3D-printed ghost gun on 50-year-old Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, on December 4, 2024. We present a nuanced timeline leading up to the murders, theorize about why the UPenn graduate would commit the crime, and explore the memeification and digital canonization of Mangione on the internet. CW | TW: This episode discusses premeditated details of a shooting and subsequent murder.
