Luigi Mangione gunned down an innocent man and father of two young children outside a Manhattan hotel, an act caught on camera and accompanied by a manifesto, revealing a premeditated execution
Murdering businessmen on a public street in broad daylight evokes the worst days of terror riddled societies like the Red Brigades in Italy. But even then, no one in government was coming to their defense.
The irony is Democrats like Elizabeth Warren are deflecting the catastrophic failures of Obamacare onto those forced to institute it.

Luigi Mangione should face death penalty for ‘cold-blooded assassination’ of UnitedHealthcare CEO, Pam Bondi orders
By Ben Kochman, NY Post, April 1, 2025:
The Trump administration will take the rare step of seeking the death penalty against Luigi Mangione for his alleged cold-blooded killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — pushing for what would be the first Manhattan federal execution in 70 years.
“Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,” US Attorney Pam Bondi said in a press release Tuesday.
“After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again,” Bondi added.

Luigi Mangione, accused of gunning down Brian Thompson in NYC, is facing both state and federal charges. Steven Hirsch/New York PostBut Mangione’s legal team shot back that “a lawless Justice Department” is trying to “murder” the 26-year-old alleged assassin for “political” reasons.
“While claiming to protect against murder, the federal government moves to commit the pre-meditated, state-sponsored murder of Luigi,” attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo said in a statement. “By doing this, they are defending the broken, immoral, and murderous healthcare industry that continues to terrorize the American people.”
New York state outlawed the death penalty in 2004. But federal prosecutors can still execute defendants — if they convince a jury to unanimously sign off on a government-sanctioned killing.

But jurors could not reach a consensus to sentence Saipov to death, and he instead received eight life sentences.

Attorney General Pam Bondi directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in the case. APThe last person to be executed after being convicted in Manhattan federal court was Gerhard A. Puff, who was found guilty of killing an FBI agent in 1952 and killed via the electric chair in 1954. One year earlier, married couple Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed after a sensational case in which they were convicted in the same court of spying for the Soviet Union.
Mangione is currently charged with the early-morning murder of Thompson in separate cases brought by state and federal prosecutors.
The state case is currently farther along, with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office having secured an indictment from a grand jury.
Southern District of New York federal prosecutors said in the waning days of the Biden administration that the state case was expected to go to trial first. It was not clear Tuesday if Bondi’s decision would impact that timeline.
Mangione faces life in prison if convicted in state court of an upgraded murder as an act of terrorism charge.Law enforcement sources had previously told The Post that the insurance industry had lobbied the feds to bring a case against Mangione, and that the government was considering asking for the death penalty.

He’d been plotting the attack for months and wrote in his notebook about plans to “wack” the head of a medical insurance company, alongside angry tirades against the industry, court papers allege.
Mangione, who hails from a prominent Maryland family, allegedly had the notebook on him when Pennsylvania cops arrested him at a McDonald’s in Altoona five days after the shocking slaying. Prosecutors have also revealed that he was carrying duct tape and zip ties in his backpack at the time.
Since his arrest, Mangione has garnered a cult-like following of supporters who have decried what they’ve called America’s corrupt healthcare system.
More than $20,000 in donations poured into an online fundraising page managed by Mangione’s defense team Tuesday after Bondi’s announcement.
