What did Luigi Mangione state in his writings?
According to NBC News, citing the NYPD, Mangione had three pages of writings on him that totaled less than 300 words when he was taken into custody. Three senior law enforcement officials told the outlet these writings read, in part, “Frankly these parasites had it coming.”
In the writings, the officials continued, Mangione said he acted alone. However, the officials told NBC News they haven’t ruled out other actors at this time.
“To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country,” Mangione’s writings read, officials told NBC News. “To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone.”
Officials said Mangione also added, “I do apologize for any strife or traumas but it had to be done.”
However, Tisch noted Mangione’s motive has yet to be confirmed.
“I think when we look at the manifesto, or that three-page written document that was recovered, you see anti-corporatist sentiment, a lot of issues with the healthcare industry,” she said in a Dec. 10 Today interview. “But as to particular specific motive, that will come out as this investigation continues to unfold over the next weeks and months.”
