When news broke that United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down in broad daylight at the start of this month, many appeared sympathetic to the then-unknown shooter’s cause. It was a surprisingly bipartisan position, with individuals across the political spectrum sharing horror stories about the healthcare insurance companies’ use of every loophole in the book to deny coverage to sick, vulnerable Americans. Perhaps even worse, the giant multinational with a market cap of over $300 billion was notorious for extracting the maximum amount of revenue from patients possible, stringing them along for unnecessary check-ups and follow-ups. The hooded assassin instantly became regarded as a Robin Hood-like man of the people. And then he was found.

The suspected United Healthcare shooter was hot. Like sixpack, Italian heritage and chiselled jawline hot. Luigi Mangione‘s unmasking catapulted him to a new stratosphere of notoriety, with each mugshot and police report dropping like a kind of twisted, sexy advent calendar (and raising the question: why could the cops seemingly not stop photographing him?). The fever pitch seemed to reach an all-time high yesterday (December 19) when he was spotted on a perp walk, flanked by dozens of heavily armed police officers.
