Mayor Adams Drops Truth Bomb About How Luigi Mangione Was Radicalized, and Dems Won''t Like It — PJ Media
2024-12-18
[PJMEDIA] It's been nearly two weeks since UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed in midtown Manhattan. Thankfully, his alleged killer, Luigi Mangione, 26, was captured after someone recognized him at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pa.

While the evidence all appears to confirm Mangione is the killer, in a lot of ways, it just doesn't make sense why this kid, who grew up privileged and went to an Ivy League school and everything, would be driven to murder.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams
...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a bunch of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve...
has something to say on that issue that the Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
won't be happy about. Adams bluntly described a disturbing trend he's witnessed among young people in America. Speaking candidly about the radicalization of youth, he addressed the troubling case of Mangione, drawing a direct line between the shooter's upbringing and the toxic influence of the education system that led to his violent mostly peaceful actions.

Adams was quick to point out that Mangione's background doesn't fit the typical profile of someone prone to radicalization. ''Ivy League, grew up in an affluent household,'' he said, emphasizing the disconnect between the shooter's privileged life and his eventual descent into hatred.

''His manifesto clearly is showing some signs of hating,'' Adams continued, underscoring that even those with seemingly ideal circumstances can be consumed by a dangerous ideology.

The mayor then turned his focus to the broader problem at hand: the radicalization of America's youth. ''Our children are being radicalized,'' Adams stated, ''I said this over and over again, and everybody's like, you know, 'What are you talking about, Eric?''' His frustration with the lack of attention to the issue was clear, but his message was undeniable. This isn't just a fringe problem; it's becoming a mainstream crisis.

#4  It appears probable any randomly selected jury in the NYC area wouldn't vote to convict Luigi no matter what else his trial amounts to.
