Turns out NeoGAF was the shooter all along...

Womp womp, maybe the real Joker was the friends we made along the way.

Honestly this guy seems shockingly normal, like conservative but in a mainstream Joe Rogan kind of way, educated, successful, not at all the profile of a killer. They're going to cast a Hemsworth in a movie of this guy.

Woooo-weeee. I'd go to McD's a lot more if McRibbies were available year round. They came to Canada for maybe a month early this year. Thats it.

Us yanks get drip fed McRibs too. It's a mythical unicorn of a sandwich.

btw I guarantee you at least 20 Gaffers will buy a McRib this week because we're talking about them in this thread.

You can never go by internet info, pics or heresay because that's only one part of someone's real life self. And most likely just the good parts.

Hardly anyone is going to go on social media bragging theyre in a messy divorce, battle with courts for kids, on drug rehab, mental issues broke etc...

They actually just released for the season on 12/3 down here in Yankeetown.

Luigi clearly just couldn't help himself. The power of the McRib.

wtf. This dude looks like someone got to the eyebrow slider in a character creator and went fucking wild.

 

[jason10mm]

I'm starting to get vibes of a

type deal where this guy parades around a bit to get seen. Then someone ELSE does the hit while this guy is filming himself somewhere else, then he takes the gun and hangs around until he gets arrested. "But I just found it!" he claims, and walks after a short sentence, if any. He's clearly got the intellect for thinking this through and apparently EVERYTHING to lose, so either he's unhinged, has some legal ace up his sleeve, or this is grotesque performative "art".

Yeah he may well have had a schizophrenic break brought in by medications or medical treatments. He's kind of the age where that shit happens.

But he definitely doesn't seem like some kind of radical or anything the way people imagined him.

I dont know if it's true, but there's supposed to be a mythical theory that McD's will do McRibs when pork prices are low on the commodity markets. Who knows if true, but it kind of makes sense.

I don’t know the dude well (I think he knows me better than I know him), but I’ve got a pretty close connection to him. He’s apparently been a pretty good and normal dude.

I’ve got random data on him that hasn’t gone public yet (nothing that significant though) and he seems like he was a pretty normal and well-rounded dude before all of this.

Kind of wild how this is all turning out. I wonder what’ll happen on the 11th.

Fair point.

I didnt know her well, but ya anything can happen. I found out after I graduated university a high school mate (didnt know her well but knew her, but didnt keep in touch as the internet wasnt around really yet) committed suicide jumping off a balcony. Couldnt get details on it from other schoolmates after I found out except she was super depressed. Never found out more what topic the depression even come from. She seemed like a typical bubbly and decent looking student.

 

[12Goblins]

Who knows. If he didn't have a history of violence, I'd imagine some type of mental break episode probably played a role. It could have been influenced possibly by drugs he took after a back surgery. Who knows. But I would be surprised if some mental health component was not a factor. This is almost always the case with killers like this who carry manifestos, they're all off their rocker.

I work in healthcare and I see it all the time. Otherwise smart kid with bright future suffers a back injury from wrestling/lifting, eventually sees a neuro surgeon for nagging back problems that keeps him awake at night. Not well versed in the complicated and nuanced matter, is convinced by a specialist to undergo back surgery enticed by the possibly of a pain free future, is eventually left with more pain, becomes dependent on the opiates he is given. In his follow up visits required for narcotics, he is found with unprescribed benzos or THC in his system. Now doctors turn their back him and want nothing to do with someone that is now labeled "a drug seeker", for essentially a problem they helped create. The system he trusted exploited his problem, made their profit, and then turned their backs on him. There's a million variations to this story

 

[rm082e]

If this guy blew out a disc doing Squats or Deadlifts, the lifting community is never going to hear the end of it.

 

[12Goblins]

I wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted to eventually be caught. He’s basically become a folk hero at this point.

As a faceless martyr, he would have undoubtedly become a hero. But now with the spotlight we can see he is just some rich manosphere disillusioned techbro with incoherent beliefs and strong views about the japanese fertility rates.. shame

Dude, when I was in the hospital DYING OF CANCER, I said the wrong thing one time; I told one of my nurses that I really liked the IV Benadryl I was given before bed because it provided an instant sense of calming and helped me fall immediately asleep.

This was then twisted to me apparently abusing Benadryl (which can I guess be abused intravenously), and I was no longer given the standard 50cc push of Benadryl before bed.

Meanwhile, I was literally on a Dilaudid dose so high every 2-3 hours that it would have put a heroin addict in a coma. Dilaudid is like eight times more potent than morphine.

The entire healthcare system is completely fucked up.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Meanwhile, I was literally on a Dilaudid dose so high every 2-3 hours that it would have put a heroin addict in a coma. Dilaudid is like eight times more potent than morphine.

I was given this once after surgery a few years ago and holy fucking shit. Basically was floating above my bed for an hour, and every time I closed my eyes, all of my thoughts were animated cartoons.

Later found out its basically synthetic heroin. Came down and was immediately like "Well now I can totally see how that can completely destroy people." And you know, every time after that would never be as good as the first time.

 

[DragoonKain]

I was given morphine and dilaudid for when I was hospitalized for a kidney stone and I felt next to nothing. It didn't take away the pain and I didn't "feel high." I just felt slightly drowsy, but I was also in a ton of pain and was awakened out of a deep sleep in the middle of the night, so that could've been why I was tired too. I don't know if I just didn't get a strong enough dose or whatever, but I remember asking the nurse if they have something stronger and she was like no dilaudid is the strongest thing we've got, and me telling her I'm in agony, it's not working.

The only thing it did do was I didn't shit for 5 days after I got home. I know pain meds can make you constipated and boy was I ever.

Yeah man. That was the good stuff. I got that delivered straight to the veins like 6-8 times a day for 12 months. I had a button I could press whenever I wanted that just delivered an instant high and pain relief.

I’d puke so much from it, and one time I didn’t shit for almost two whole months because of it. And that’s not even touching the absolute crippling opiate addiction I suffered for years after I was in remission. Getting off of opiates was, without question, the most difficult thing I’ve ever done in my life. There were so, so many times where if someone had just handed me a gun during my withdrawals, I would have shot myself without the slightest bit of hesitation.

It’s the most evil shit in the world, but it also is sometimes a necessary evil for people who truly need it. Fuck, those were some bad times.

Don’t do drugs, kids.

surprised youtube hasn't taken his channel down. probably not the place to post a manifesto, if it's legit.

Psychotic breaks do happen. They aren't common, but they do happen. We see them from time to time. Sometimes not with any influence of drugs either. Some people who've been always known as normal just lose their shit and kill. Remember Jason Dalton? Normal guy with no history of violence that acted a bit quiet for a few weeks, then one random day rode around in an Uber and started shooting people in between picking up passengers. Then went home, went back out on the road later, took more passengers in between shootings, and when caught said the navigation was giving him a secret message that he needed to kill.

Who knows what happened with this dude, but whatever he thought he was trying to accomplish with this murder whether he was in his right state of mind or not, didn't work. And it didn't work for Ted Kaczynski either. Life continues on while they rot in prison.

Yup, also very common. Seasoned so-called "drug-seekers" will often ask for Benadryl or phenergan and concoct all kinds of stories and allergies in order to get them because together they can augment the side effects like euphoria, or drowsiness in your case to help you sleep. I've seen providers deny antihistamines to sickle cell patients for this reason, which is straight up horrible and inhumane IMO

My vote goes for Dave Franco, but they’ll have to make him look quite a bit younger.

It was genuinely devastating for me. When you’re in a hospital for as long as I was, the only thing you want to do is sleep. And sleeping was borderline impossible in my condition, especially since I had to have my vitals checked every 2 hours throughout the night.

They took away the one bit of daily comfort I had in that hellish environment. I haven’t thought about that in years, and I’m getting legitimately upset right now just remembering how bullshit that was.

Still, I do love modern medicine and the doctors I had. The only reason I’m still around.

But the fucking red tape and inhumane policies (many of which are determined by insurance companies) leave me at a place where I just genuinely have no empathy for the gunned down CEO. I don’t condone it, and I’m staunchly against any kind of violence, but I feel absolutely nothing for that CEO. Nothing at all.

Idk if anyone posted it previously, but here is his Goodreads history:

Luigi Mangione

Luigi Mangione has 295 books on Goodreads, and is currently reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, How to Change Your Mind: The New Science of Psychedel...

web.archive.org

His review of Industrial Society and it's Future by Ted Kazynski is probably the clearest picture into his mindset you will get from all this. I'd be extremely interested to read his manifesto, as I quite enjoyed reading industrial society.

He probably has a lot of interesting and poignant things to say.

Also, his name, Luigi Mangiono, translates roughly to brave warrior of the big eaters. Poetically amysing for a dude who capped a CEO and then got caught at a McDonald's.
