Убил, чтобы стать героем. Красавчик Луиджи Манджоне // Подкаст «Дневники Лоры Палны»

It seemed like everyone had already realized that there was nothing attractive about murderers and criminals. But it wasn't to be. The Luigi Mangione case in late 2024 shook up half the world. A young man from a wealthy family embraced radical views, became embittered by the health insurance system, and shot Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare, in downtown New York City. The killer was quickly caught, and that would have been the end of the story. But internet users and ordinary people decided otherwise. The deceased insurance agent became a scapegoat in the eyes of the common people, and his death was called a just retribution for the sins of the system. Meanwhile, the killer was praised for his supposedly revolutionary ideas, his ingenuity... and simply his beauty.
