Alleged killer Luigi Mangione inspiring others toward violence, prosecutors say

New York — Prosecutors say Luigi Mangione, accused of killing the CEO of UnitedHealthcare on a Manhattan sidewalk, has inspired others to embrace violence over reasoned debate.

As evidence of Mangione's growing influence, prosecutors cited the last month's .

The prosecution outlined the threat in a filing late Wednesday on a procedural matter in federal court in Manhattan, where they plan to try to convince a jury that Mangione deserves death. No federal trial date has been set.

Mangione, who pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges, was of CEO Brian Thompson. He is being held without bail in a federal jail in Brooklyn.

...that he's so photogenic-bordering-on-dreamy, nor that his target certainly caused the deaths of hundreds of not thousands of people by denying medically necessary treatment on the way to a corner office.

The regime wanting to make an example of someone is not an excuse for the death penalty, when outright traitors, murderers, and insurrectionists walk free.
