DEATH CULT: Luigi Mangione Fans Go Wild After Terrorism Charges Dropped for CEO Assassin

comment-1 Created with Sketch Beta.

Outside a Manhattan courthouse Tuesday, diehard fans of Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, erupted in a grotesque celebration as his terrorism charges were dropped.

These fanatics, reveling in murder and murderers, camped out overnight, hoisting signs blending beefcake images of their twisted folk hero with anti-capitalist rants.

"Free! Luigi!" one protester, decked in a green Luigi video game hat, shouted in a call-and-response chant.

The carnival-like scene followed conservative influencer Charlie Kirk’s assassination last week, spotlighting a surge in political violence.

WATCH:

Mangione, 27, a University of Pennsylvania grad from a wealthy Baltimore family, allegedly killed Thompson on Dec. 4, 2024, during UnitedHealthcare’s investor conference, sparking a warped leftist following that dons costumes for his court appearances.

Prosecutors found a red notebook in Mangione’s backpack — discovered with a 3D-printed pistol, zip ties, and duct tape after a five-day manhunt in Altoona, Pa.—where he allegedly wrote, "The point is made in the news headline Insurance CEO killed at annual investors conference. It conveys a greedy bastard that had it coming."

Mangione is accused of fatally shooting health care CEO Brian Thompson in cold blood on Dec. 4, 2024, on a Midtown sidewalk.

In an Oct. 22 entry, he fantasized about the media coverage.

His lawyers seek to suppress this evidence, claiming a warrantless search violated his rights, but the Manhattan DA insists it proves a "twisted act of terrorism" against a father of two.

Mangione allegedly called Thompson a “greedy bastard” in the diary.

Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Gregory Carro dismissed the terrorism charges, a win for Mangione’s defense, but rejected his motion to pause the state case amid a federal murder trial that could bring the death penalty.

Undeterred, fans cheered outside, waving signs like "Wealth Comes First" and "Lock Up The Real Criminals" with photos of Trump and Mayor Eric Adams.

Mangione, pleading not guilty, faces a second-degree murder charge for intentionally killing Thompson, though no longer as a terrorist act.

The left’s poisonous pageantry continues unabated.
