Den 4 december 2024 mördas Brian Thompson, vd för det amerikanska sjukförsäkringsbolaget United Healthcare. Bara timmar efter hans död exploderar sociala medier av vittnesmål från upprörda människor som nekats ersättning för livsnödvändiga behandlingar. Det dröjer inte länge innan en våg av konspirationsteorier sveper in – teorier om den misstänkte gärningsmannen och det möjliga motivet bakom dådet. Fem dagar senare grips Luigi Mangione, en 26-årig man med en masterexamen från ett prestigefyllt universitet. Är det här de förödande konsekvenserna av ett privatiserat sjukvårdssystem? Hur kommer det sig att en misstänkt mördare betraktas som en folkhjälte? Och varför svämmar nätet över av teorier om siffran 286 och kopplingar till brädspelet Monopol?Avsnittet finns reklamfritt på Patreon!Lyssna på vår nya true crime-podd Blodspår redan nu!Apple PodcasterSpotifyPodplayPodmePodbeanAmazon MusicCastboxKontakt:Viviann LeAida EngvallPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/KonspirationsteorierYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBWwpY9_3Dc&t=1sInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/konspirationsteorier/       Konspirationsteorier - Eftersnack: https://m.facebook.com/groups/konspirationsteorierpodcast/      Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/konspirationsteorier/      Källor: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SZ1ovvNZXqqgf7md7NUJTZMIfDBSTeC4Ef857_dUIFc/edit?usp=sharingMail: konspirationsteorierpodcast@gmail.com Lyssna reklamfritt (f.r.o.m S16) på Patreon Hosted on Acast.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Annelle Sheline, research fellow in the Middle East program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, to discuss the reporting around a recently brokered ceasefire deal in Israel & Gaza. Then, she speaks with Jael Holzman, senior reporter at HeatMap News, to discuss her recent piece entitled "The Growing Push to Ban Renewable Energy in Oklahoma." First, Emma runs through updates on Netanyahu's torpedoing of the alleged ceasefire, including an escalation killing dozens more in Gaza, ProPublica's report on Biden's suppression of dissent over Gaza, Trump's CEO cabal, the US' TikTok Ban, Trump's AG nom, the FTC's report on UnitedHealthcare's overcharging of cancer patients by nearly 1000%, and compensation for women's college basketball players, before expanding briefly on the odd power plays between Trump and Biden over the developing TikTok Ban. Dr. Annelle Sheline then joins, diving right into this week's development of a predictably brief ceasefire in Gaza, including Netanyahu's immediate refusal to abide by its requirement and the following escalation resulting in some 70 dead, unpacking why Bibi has once again sabotaged a deal, why Trump still wants peace for his inauguration, and why Netanyahu's sights for the second Trump Administration are set on the West Bank. Next, Dr. Sheline and Emma shift to unpacking the future of the normalization attempt between Israel and Saudi Arabia – a process that the Biden Administration happily picked up off of Trump 1.0 – and the genuine danger of Trump extending the guarantee of uncritical military support that we provide Israel to Saudi Arabia as well, before wrapping up with a conversation on the particular role the Biden Administration's support for Israel's genocide in Gaza had on undermining support for Kamala Harris' candidacy. Jael Holzman then looks to Oklahoma as she walks Emma through the developing push to ban renewable energy projects locally, exploring how the expansion of the industry alongside a growing reactionary movement helped bolster this drive, despite its obvious potential negative impacts. Expanding on this, Holzman and Emma briefly explore the evolution of this “Green MAGA” movement as exemplified by RFK Jr., and the increasing problem of a green energy incentive structure based on tax credits, before wrapping up by tackling the extractive and material incentives for Trump's fantasy land grab of Greenland. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they dive deep into the exposé of Elon Musk's gamer fraud, talk with Jersey Boy from Milwaukee about engaging in disagreement, and watch Sam Husseini's righteous and confrontational action at Blinken's final press conference. Jay from Oregon unpacks some finer details of the nurses' strike, Pete Hegseth shies away from promising not to be a hypocrite, and Jeff from CA shares his insight into Hegseth's problematic history when it comes to a Defense Secretary nomination, plus, your calls and IMs!

#luigimangione #insurance #unitedhealthcare #lafires #truecrime Luigi Mangione Resurfaces As Symbol of Anger Against California Insurers. In this episode of The Collier Landry Show, I sit down with Dr. Angel Iscovich, a renowned expert in human behavior and decision-making, to unpack a timely and controversial topic: the growing public anger toward insurance companies in the wake of disasters and corporate decisions that leave countless Americans vulnerable. We delve into the online discussions surrounding Luigi Mangione. This name has surfaced in the context of the recent fires devastating Southern California and the startling murder of UnitedHealthcare's CEO, Brian Thompson, on December 4. Dr. Iscovich helps us explore why these events have sparked such a visceral reaction, with many viewing Mangione as a symbolic avenger against a system they perceive as broken. Together, we examine the broader societal implications of these narratives, the psychology of public outrage, and what these events reveal about the state of trust (or lack thereof) in corporations. How does this collective anger reflect our values as a society? And what can we learn from it as we look to move forward?

In this episode, Scott Becker breaks down UnitedHealthcare’s fourth-quarter earnings, highlighting five key takeaways.

In this episode of Michigan Minds, Pamela Herd, social policy professor at the University of Michigan, discusses issues of healthcare access and affordability in light of the slaying of an industry CEO, efforts of a university lab in boosting access and breaking down walls to social safety net programs, and finding common ground within a polarized electorate.Here's an excerpt of the conversation:The killing of a healthcare CEO on a Manhattan sidewalk has become, in the words of Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Will Bunch, "a stunning moment of clarity about the state of American society." I'd like to ask you what Will asked his readers: Why did it take an assassination to raise an issue that was ignored in a presidential campaign?So let me preface this by saying that vigilante justice, which is one way to think about what happened, is never OK. The killing, the murder, assassination of the United Healthcare executive was not OK.That said, people's reactions to it and the kind of depth of the anger that we heard from people in response is I think a pretty strong signal that something is fundamentally broken in how we deliver healthcare in the United States. And that's what it really tapped into: People are incredibly frustrated in the U.S. healthcare system. We spend enormous amounts of money paying for healthcare, both individually out of pocket as well as aggregately in terms of the federal and state budgets. And people just feel like they're not getting their money's worth. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On December 4, 2024, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione is reported to have gunned down 50-year-old Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, on a NYC street using a 3D printed ghost gun. Since then, the public's reaction has been sharply divided, oscillating between condemnation and sympathy. The controversy surrounding the crime at the center of today's case has struck a raw nerve in the national psyche and is as profound as it is polarizing. Luigi has, perhaps inadvertently, become the face of a movement - a symbol of the struggle for an American healthcare system that values human well-being over profit margins. And in many circles, the focus has shifted away from the cold-blooded crime itself to the conditions that may have driven him to commit it.

Nos acompaña el abogado Julio Copo para analizar el fenómeno mediático y reacciones en torno al asesinato de Brian Thompson, CEO de UnitedHealthcare, y de su probable asesino, Luigi Mangione. 

According to polls, a shocking number of Americans support Luigi Mangione and the murder of Brian Thompson. What does that say about our shifting morality as a country?

**Discussion begins at 5:30**On December 4, 2024, the week after Thanksgiving and well into the bustling holiday season, Brian Thompson, United Healthcare's CEO was gunned down right outside of a hotel in Midtown Manhattan - where he was on his way to a shareholder meeting.  In the chilling street camera video, you see the shooter loitering as Thompson approaches the hotel, before the suspect shoots the CEO in the back, fires a couple more, and then turns and walks away. In the days that follow, there is a massive manhunt in NYC.  NYPD swept the city, even taking to the river, for the shooter and killer of Brian Thompson.   Meanwhile, news channels and social media accounts shared the grainy picture of a similarly dressed man checking into a hostel days prior - a white male with a dark hood up over his head and a mask over his face. He's shown leaning over the counter, his black mask pulled down, smiling at someone across the counter that is not pictured.  Then, on Monday, December 9, a phone call came in from a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, approximately 223 miles away from the crime scene, the caller claiming that someone matching the suspects description was there.  The police, responding to the call, arrested 26 year old Luigi Mangione.  Found on him during the arrest was the gun, the silencer, and a three page note detailing his plan to kill Mr. Thompson.  But… something about Luigi's thick eyebrows seems out of place and doesn't match with the surveillance video that has many people pause over this seemingly too clean murder investigation. Outcries on reddit are claiming that Luigi is a Patsy, very much like our beloved Lee Harvery Oswald (Justice for Lee!), because how does one just get caught in a McDonalds with the murder weapon and a manifesto in his book bag just 5 days later? Is Luigi just too arrogant to believe he would be caught? Or is he being set up? Let's get into it. Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

If you've been following the news lately, chances are you've heard of Luigi Mangione, the man at the center of recent headlines for allegedly shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. While the criminal case has drawn widespread attention, what caught our interest is a surprising detail about Mangione's personal life: he's reportedly listed as a beneficiary in his wealthy grandmother's estate. Even more intriguing, the will allegedly includes a precatory clause—or “wish language”—suggesting that beneficiaries charged with a felony could forfeit their inheritance.    In this episode of Absolute Trust Counsel, host Kirsten Howe and attorneys Jessica Colbert and Ariana Flynn dive into the concept of precatory clauses, their potential legal implications, and what this could mean for Mangione. Don't miss this fascinating discussion!    Time-stamped Show Notes:   0:00 Introduction 1:40 Unpacking Luigi Mangione's Inheritance: Discover how Luigi Mangione's grandmother's estate entered the spotlight and why estate planners like us find it so intriguing. 2:25 Has anyone actually seen a copy of the will? We reveal what sources are saying and why there's still plenty of missing information. 3:38 A term every estate planner (and beneficiary) should know is Precatory Language. We break down what it means and how it can affect your inheritance. 4:50 If you rely on non-binding language in your will, you could invite costly disputes among your heirs. Next, we explain how to avoid this pitfall. 6:48 With limited information available, we still offer insights into what might happen next with Luigi's share—and how you can protect your own estate from similar issues. 7:22 Thanks for joining us on this deep dive into estate planning and real-life drama. We hope you enjoyed it and picked up tips for your own estate plan. Stay tuned for our next episode!

Could Luigi Mangione Convince A Jury The Murder of UnitedHealthCare CEO Was Justified? Did justice just take a backseat to a personal vendetta? Luigi Mangioni stands accused—caught on camera—of shooting a United Healthcare CEO in broad daylight, yet the motivations and possible defenses are raising more eyebrows than ever. Was it a calculated act of vigilante justice or simply a shocking display of manipulation and delusion? Despite no personal ties to the company or its executives, Mangioni's self-aggrandizing social media trail paints a picture of someone desperate for validation. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis dives into the legal maze ahead, from potential jury nullification strategies to the controversial implications of defending an alleged murderer under the guise of exposing systemic oppression. Could this defense sway even one juror, forcing a mistrial? And if so, what kind of precedent might that set for society? At what point does our sympathy for systemic grievances become a dangerous excuse for violence? #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #UnitedHealthcare #MurderTrial #LegalAnalysis #EricFaddis #TonyBrueski Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

What kind of spectacle does it take to escort a 26-year-old accused murderer from one state to another? Luigi Mangione's "supervillain-esque" perp walk felt more Marvel blockbuster than real life, leaving many scratching their heads—and some raising eyebrows. The debate isn't just about the logistics of moving him safely but also the bizarre public persona that's emerged around him. From claims of revolutionary status to whispers of a Robin Hood-like aura, the case has captivated and divided public opinion. With murder charges spanning multiple states and a potential death penalty on the table, Mangione's defense strategy may lean on jury nullification—a risky move, but could it actually work? And what role does his striking appearance play in all this? If he looked less like a movie star and more like your average guy, would the frenzy be as intense? What does this mean for justice, and how long before this spectacle loses its luster? #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #LuigiMangione #JenniferCoffindaffer #MurderCase #JuryNullification #CrimeDiscussion Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

How does a privileged life of wealth and travel lead to an alleged act of calculated violence? In this gripping episode, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer delves into the puzzling psychology of a 26-year-old accused of meticulously planning a high-profile murder on a bustling New York City street. Was this an act of rebellion against his family's legacy in the healthcare industry? Or a twisted play for attention from a narcissistic mind? From months of withdrawal in Asia to a cryptic, rambling note, every detail paints a disturbing picture.

What's Next For UnitedHealthCare CEO Killer Luigi Mangione? What drives a man to turn from frustrated citizen to alleged would-be vigilante? The chilling case of Luigi Mangioni, accused of shooting United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, raises questions about how far someone will go when they believe they're fighting a broken system. Did Mangioni have more planned? Could he have been on the path to becoming another Ted Kaczynski, orchestrating chaos under the guise of a cause? Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott dives into the twisted psyche of Mangioni, exploring his alleged narcissism, grandiose self-image, and his bizarre courtroom theatrics. Is he a misguided hero to some, or a dangerous figure capable of inspiring copycats in a society teetering on the edge? In a world where healthcare frustrations run deep, the unsettling admiration Mangioni has garnered online reveals troubling societal undercurrents. But was this all part of his plan for infamy?

What drives someone from privilege and success to violence and chaos? Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was gunned down on the streets of Manhattan in a chilling act that left a nation grappling with questions. The alleged shooter, Luigi Mangione, left behind a trail of breadcrumbs—or more accurately, loaves of evidence—that has many wondering if this was about justice or self-centered notoriety. With a manifesto, symbolic gestures, and a questionable backstory, is this about fighting the system or feeding a fragile ego? Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dives into the psychology behind Mangione's alleged actions, painting a picture of privilege turned rebellion. Was it truly about the healthcare system, or was Mangione more interested in being the center of attention? And what does it say about a society where some sympathize with such acts? As we unravel the tangled web of narcissism, social justice illusions, and public reactions, the story turns toward Mangione's family and their eerie acknowledgment of his capabilities. How much of who we become is shaped by those closest to us, and what role might they play in understanding—or justifying—such a crime? Are we witnessing the birth of a modern-day villain or the unraveling of a societal facade? #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #BrianThompson #PsychologicalProfiling #CrimeAnalysis #PrivilegeAndViolence Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The death of UnitedHealthcare's CEO has reignited backlash against health insurance practices, particularly prior authorization rules. This episode explores the parallels between today's outrage and the late 1990s backlash. Archelle sits down with Dr. Lee Newcomer, a fellow former Chief Medical Officer at UnitedHealthcare during that era, to share their unique insights. Together, they examine the pros and cons of prior authorization policies and discuss the urgent need for reforms to enhance access to medical care and restore public trust in the healthcare system. Key Takeaways: A Recipe for Navigating Your Prior Authorization Step 1: Have 5-7 days of patience. Step 2: After 5-7 days, call your doctor's and verify that the prior authorization was submitted. Make sure all the info is correct. Step 3: Call customer service and ask for the status of the request. If they don't have an answer, get a commitment on when they will follow up. Mention your intention to contact the Attorney General's Office Step 4: Escalate if there is no follow up within the time promised. Options (you can do all 3) ·     Call the Health Insurance Company CEO and request a referral to the Expedited Appeal Unit ·     Contact the Human Resources Department of your employer ·     Submit a complaint to the Attorney General's office in your state. Here's a link for the AG in each state: https://projects.propublica.org/claimfile/   Don't Forget: Keep your calm and be rationale. You'll get more accomplished that way. If your doctor believes that the medical test or procedure you need is urgent or emergent….don't wait for the prior authorization. Get the medical care you need and if its denied, you can appeal it later.

This week we talk about Luigi Mangione, VAW attacks, and mass shootings.We also discuss stochastic violence, terrorism, and Cybertrucks.Recommended Book: Some Desperate Glory by Emily TeshTranscriptThe terms “Lone Wolf,” “Lone Wolf Actor,” and “Lone Wolf Killer” are interchangeably used in many countries—though most commonly and prominently in the United States—to describe someone who commits a mass-killing or other mass-casualty event, but who is not part of an organization like a terrorist group or other criminal network like a gang.The term is hotly contested in the scholarly world, as it's applied loosely and inconsistently, and the definition varies somewhat by location, government, law enforcement entity investigating said killings, and the press reporting upon it. But in general, to be defined as a mass-casualty event or mass-killing, a collection of murders must occur in public—so it can't be a person killing their family at home, for instance—it must involve at least four victims—so someone killing or injuring three strangers in a public place will typically not be categorized in this way—and it must not occur as part of another crime, like a robbery gone wrong, or as part of a larger conflict between two rival gangs.Within this context of mass-killings and mass-casualty attacks, a lone wolf is someone who acts solo, the term originating with the concept of a wolf that has been separated from, or perhaps outcast from its pack.Someone who kills a bunch of people at the instruction of a terrorist organization like ISIS, then, would not be considered a lone wolf, even if they committed the act without any direct aid from that group; though this definition is wobbly even in that regard, as someone who takes inspiration from a group like ISIS, committing a mass-killing to support that group's cause, but not directly connected to the group, might be labeled a lone wolf, or not. And there's no hard-set rule as to which definition is correct.This was a somewhat common issue back in the late-20th century, when many so-called lone wolf terrorists were committing acts of violence in support of anarchist ends, but the anarchist groups from which they derived their inspiration, and in some cases with which they collaborated, were leaderless by nature—so it couldn't really be said that they were instructed to carry out these acts, they were just inspired by these fellow ideological travelers, and that made determining whether they acted on their own behest or not a tricky and perhaps impossible undertaking; a lot of it is semantics.Also confounding the simple categorization of such killers and attacks is the concept of stochastic terrorism, which is a type of violence that is almost always political or ideological in nature, as opposed to being revenge-driven or otherwise personal, and it's generally incited by someone with a public persona—a politician or other leader—who creates an environment in which violence is more likely to occur, that violence seemingly random, but on average directed in a specific direction.So a politician who says something like “Man, people from the opposing party really believe some horrible stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if something happened to them, considering how evil they are,” while at the same time stoking the flames of potential violence throughout the population by increasing animosity between political parties and maybe even religious groups, might be aiming to spark stochastic terror that would benefit them and their ambitions.By riling up their base in this way, by sowing the seeds for potential attacks against their perceived enemies, violence in their favor, aimed at those enemies, is more likely to happen, but in a way that's deniable for them—just a random act of ideological murder that they can denounce, despite arguably having asymmetrically instigated it.Is stochastic terror an example of planting seeds for violence that makes the resultant killings something more like directed attacks, and therefore not lone wolf in nature, then? Or are all lone wolves arguably inspired by something they've learned or experienced or been told, and thus arguably stochastic in nature—no direct guidance or instruction, but still inspired by someone or something, somewhere along the way?What I'd like to talk about today are three instances of recent supposedly lone wolf attacks, and why some experts are predicting we'll see more such attacks, especially but not exclusively in the US, in the coming years.—There were nearly 500 officially recognized mass-shootings in the US in 2024—and again, that means 4 or more people injured or killed in public, and not as part of another crime being committed.That's down from previous years, the preceding four of which have each had more than 600 mass shootings, and on average a little less than 10 people are killed in these shootings—though that figure is nudged upward by the largest of these mass killings, like one in Las Vegas in 2017 that saw 60 people killed and more than 800 wounded, many in the resulting stampede, by a 64-year-old seemingly lone wolf gunman who fired on an open-air music festival from the 32nd floor window of a nearby hotel.Gun homicides in the US are rampant beyond mass-killings: there were about 21,000 murders committed with guns in the country in 2021, alone—and notably, self-inflicted gun deaths, suicides using these weapons, eclipse that number, tallying more than 26,000 that same year.That means more than 50 people are killed by guns in the US every single day, and about 4 out of every 5 murders are committed using guns in the country; which makes sense, as guns are very effective at what they're meant to do, which is killing something, and there are a lot of guns in the US: about 120 of them per 100 people, as of 2018.And to be clear, that doesn't mean everyone owns a gun: that average is driven sky-high by the gun-enthusiasts who tend to buy a lot of the things, though gun ownership has continued to increase in scope in recent years, as political and economic uncertainty, especially in areas where perception of crime levels, if not always actual elevated crime levels, increases, tends to drive more widespread gun sales.Given all of that, it's maybe not a huge surprise that many apparent lone wolf attacks in the United States are committed using firearms; sometimes assault rifles, sometimes guns that have been augmented using bump-stocks or similar add-ons to make a normal gun into basically an assault rifle, and sometimes just using a pistol, which can be easily pocketed and carried around pretty much everywhere in this country.On December 4, 2024, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, which is part of the largest health insurance company in the United States, UnitedHealth Group, Brian Thompson, was gunned down in front of the Midtown Manhattan Hilton Hotel.The alleged killer, who was later identified by law enforcement officials as Luigi Mangione, was captured on nearby CCTV cameras, was wearing a hoodie and an expensive backpack while shooting Thompson, and used a pistol with a suppressor—a silencer—to shoot him multiple times, the bullet casings left behind inscribed with the words Delay, Deny, and Depose; terms that have been associated with the US health insurance industry for legal tactics they lean on in order to pocket more money, allegedly at the expense of their customers who have their claims denied or long-term delayed, in some cases leaving them without the care they require, and in some cases leaving them in crippling debt following a necessary medical procedure that the insurance company says they won't pay for.The response to killings of any kind, even in a gun-happy country like the US, tends to be fairly grim and sad; the endless mutterings of “thoughts and prayers” by politicians and other public figures has become so common and toothless as to be near-satire at this point, but generally the tone is antagonistic toward whomever committed the killing, before then swinging toward calls for more security and policing if you're on the political right, and more gun regulation if you're on the political left. And that's generally where we leave things until the next headlines-capturing shooting; and we typically, unfortunately, don't have long to wait.Thompson's murder, though, was almost immediately met with celebration across the political spectrum; working class folks, Democrats and Republicans and everyone in between and on the furthest political extremes basically muttering about how it serves him right, before realizing everyone else was muttering the same thing, and that led to outright enthusiasm, especially online, and even calls for more of the same across the social media landscape—many normal people doing the politician and ideologue thing by basically posting their hopes that someone will knock off other CEOs as well, seemingly aiming to spark more stochastic violence in their favored direction.The wealthy and especially the CEO class were horrified at this response, perhaps understandably, and there was pushback from mainstream journalistic and political entities across the board, with lots of tut-tutting and finger-wagging at anyone who dared celebrate what looked to be the cold-blooded murder of another human being.But the nature of American healthcare and especially health insurance being what it is—massively imperfect at least, and by some assessments borderline abusive or even outright evil—this was seen by many as just desserts for someone who himself had committed millions of dollars worth of fraud and gotten away with it, and who was running UnitedHealthcare in such a way that it denies more claims than any of its peers, which in turn has allowed itself to massively enrich itself and its shareholders at the expense of its customers.There were many cries of “serves him right,” then, alongside some requests that other CEOs be next; many of these requests couched in memes and jokes, but also seemingly earnest.The nature of the alleged killer, who was eventually shown to be a good-looking young man of privilege who had maybe suffered under the auspices of the American healthcare system, due to chronic ailments and an insurance system that didn't even serve someone like him, who grew up with substantial advantages, further fanned those flames, and as of the day I'm recording this he's in custody, has pleaded not guilty, and is facing eleven state and four federal charges, including first-degree murder and a terrorism charge, the former of which could lead to the death penalty.Just shy of a month later, in the early morning hours of January 1, 2025, a new year's celebration on the well-know and well-traversed, and on that night, incredibly crowded Bourbon Street in New Orleans was attacked by a man in a large pickup truck, who plowed the vehicle into a crowd of revelers, driving at high-speed across three blocks that were partitioned-off for the celebration.The driver was apparently trying to hit as many people as possible, and then, after crashing into a utility vehicle, he stepped out of the truck and started firing a gun into the crowd.Police fired back at him, but he was wearing body armor, and two of them were injured before they managed to kill him, recovering an assault rifle and a semi-automatic pistol from his body. They also found a pair of explosive devices in coolers he had planted around the area before the attack, and further investigation led to the discovery of more bomb-making materials where he was staying in New Orleans.At least 35 people were injured and 14 people were killed in the attack, alongside the killer, who was later identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar: an American-born Army veteran and Texas resident who had apparently been recently radicalized, possibly by online content posted by ISIS, and who had posted videos pledging his allegiance to the group mere hours before he drove into the crowd, an ISIS flag adorning the vehicle.More guns in this attack, then, but much of the damage was caused by the truck, and similar so-called “vehicle as a weapon,” or VAW attacks have been committed around the world in recent years, raising concerns especially in places where firearms are harder to come by, though also at large, open-air events where vehicles might cause more deaths and injuries in a short period of time than even an assault rifle, as seemed to be the case here.This attacker seemed to be self-radicalized, based on testimony from his friends and family, who were shocked at the change in his personality and expressed beliefs. The FBI has said they're pretty confident he acted alone, though they're looking into recent trips he took to Egypt and Canada, in case he met up with someone from ISIS or a similar group, while traveling.And apparently while he initially planned to kill his family—he's had several divorces that led to financial problems, due to many child support payments that exceeded his means—he didn't believe killing his family would have provoked enough of a response to spark a “war between the believers and the disbelievers.” Jabbar was brought up Muslim but left the faith for years, before apparently adopting a more intense and violent reinterpretation of it just recently, and that seemingly helped him justify and perhaps even inspired these acts.This has been called a lone wolf attack, then, but it was apparently heavily influenced by ISIS ideology, despite Jabbar possibly never having been in contact with anyone from that group.Just a handful of hours later, that same morning, at 8:49 January 1, 2025, a Tesla Cybertruck that was parked outside the front lobby of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas exploded—its occupant apparently having died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head right before a bunch of fireworks and gas canisters placed in the trunk were detonated.That occupant was Matthew Alan Livelsberger, who was also American-born, and like Jabbar, had been in the US military, though Livelsberger was an active-duty Special Forces soldier from Colorado who was on leave at the time.The blast didn't kill anyone, and while it hurt a few bystanders, no one was seriously injured. But the intention, according to two letters recovered from his phone by the FBI, was apparently to make a political statement related to alleged clandestine US military operations, and advanced technologies the US and China allegedly secretly possess; though he was also apparently in the midst of a serious mental health crisis, including significant PTSD episodes and what might have been paranoid delusions.The vehicle also contained an assault rifle and two pistols, though none of these weapons were used, as while Livelsberger was seemingly intent on escaping across the Mexican border following the attack, based on what he said in those aforementioned letters, he seemingly decided to kill himself instead—which may support the assertion that this was primarily, if not exclusively, a mental health crisis issue.Livelsberger also apparently had family issues, due in large part to his support of president-elect Trump and his family's opposition to that support, and he was apparently suffering from untreated depression, that lack of treatment possibly the result of stigma toward such things within the military, which sometimes results in people not getting treatment that they might benefit from, because they worry doing so will see them sidelined by their superiors.A manifesto penned by Livelsberger that was sent to a retired Army Intelligence officer claims that he was being monitored by the military because of his knowledge of war crimes and those aforementioned military advanced technologies, and that he didn't intend to self-harm, the divulgence of which has led to some conspiracy theories about this not having been a suicide.That said, this attack is being investigated as potential terrorism, and while it was initially being explored as part of a larger wave of such actions, since that attack in New Orleans happened just hours earlier, and both attackers used the same online car rental service to procure the vehicles they were driving, investigators have since indicated they don't believe these attacks were connected.Interestingly, Livelsberger's letters also criticized income inequality, though with a politically conservative bent, basically saying that the country had become too liberal and effeminate, and that Trump, Elon Musk, and Robert Kennedy Jr needed to take control and make the US more masculine so that it could compete against entities like China, Russia, and Iran.Experts on ideological violence and political fracturing have warned that we may see more lone wolf and lone wolf-esque violence in a more polarized society, in which people are less likely to consider those on the opposite side of the aisle to be people they disagree with, and more likely to think of them as bad or evil or even subhuman, which makes violence more thinkable.That's not ideal, as these sorts of attacks are difficult to prevent, their solo nature meaning there's no network to track and pluck apart, nothing to infiltrate and fewer easily accessible data points to aggregate and in which to recognize a pattern. Lone wolf attackers tend to cause less damage than groups can, then, but they're often almost invisible, to the organizations that hope to stop them, anyway, right up till the moment they start killing and injury people.We're also entering an era in which trust in authority has degraded substantially, new technologies have made the research, hardware procurement, and implementation of such attacks a lot more attainable to more people, which means folks suffering from different sorts of psychological or physical torments, or those who simply have strong opinions and a lot of perceived enemies, are more likely to be able to act on that confusion or those hatreds, in some cases at a moment's notice, and in many cases without anyone beyond their immediate friends and family recognizing that something might be up.We may be entering a period of heightened threat, then, in the US especially, because of the number and wide distribution of highly effective weapons throughout the population, and because of the period of political polarization and animosity we seem to be wading through, but also throughout the rest of the world, to some degree at least, because of those same political and ideological factors, and because of how big and weapon-like vehicles have become, and how relatively easy it is to get one's hands on information that allows for the construction of things like bombs and the technologies required to 3D-print and otherwise manufacture deadly implements of all shapes and sizes.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Mangionehttps://www.vox.com/politics/390438/luigi-mangione-healthcare-shooting-ghost-gunhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Brian_Thompsonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Las_Vegas_shootinghttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41488081https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_New_Orleans_truck_attackhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c205ek63433ohttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/03/us/new-orleans-victims-truck-attack.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_International_Hotel_Las_Vegas_Tesla_Cybertruck_explosionhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/04/us/matthew-livelsberger-las-vegas-cybertruck.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/us/new-orleans-attack-travel.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/04/us/new-orleans-attack-shamsud-din-jabbar-isis.htmlhttps://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1257&context=nulr_online&preview_mode=1&z=1519320539https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_terrorismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_wolf_attackhttps://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/lone-wolf-terrorism-americahttps://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1088767917736797 This is a public episode.

What drives a man with no personal stake to commit an alleged cold-blooded act of violence? Luigi Mangione, now infamous for his alleged shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, leaves behind more questions than answers. With no personal grievances or ties to the healthcare industry, Mangione seems less like a misguided vigilante and more like a self-obsessed narcissist hungry for attention. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke pulls no punches, describing Mangione's erratic courtroom behavior and lack of coherent motive. Despite the tragedy, Dreeke points out the danger of society turning Mangione into a misguided symbol of change. Could his actions inadvertently inspire others, or will the narrative shift to highlight the senselessness of this alleged crime? When all is said and done, are we seeing a flawed man seeking attention, or something much darker lurking beneath the surface? #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #FBIInsights #HealthcareViolence #LuigiMangione #CrimeAndFame #PsychologyOfKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

What's In Store For United Healthcare Shooter Luigi Mangione In 2025? What drives someone to become a self-styled "soldier of righteousness"? Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has sparked a disturbing wave of public fascination. From his ideological obsession with anti-corporate America to his apparent admiration for figures like the Unabomber, Mangione's descent into radicalization raises chilling questions about the intersection of mental health, personality, and societal frustration. With memes hailing him as a modern Robin Hood, how has he managed to tap into the collective outrage over a broken healthcare system? Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott delves into the psychological and societal underpinnings of this case, questioning whether Mangione's actions reflect a mental health crisis, a deep-seated narcissistic trait, or something even more insidious. As public support for Mangione grows online, the conversation shifts to the terrifying potential for social contagion and copycat crimes. Is this the warning bell of an unhealthy society, and what does it say about the limits of justice when ideology becomes the star witness in the court of public opinion? Would you call it hero worship—or something far darker? #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #LuigiMangione #BrianThompson #HealthcareCrisis #SocialContagion #Radicalization Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
