   Luigi Mangione, the accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer, may have   
   influenced last month's deadly attack on NFL headquarters in New York   
   City, federal prosecutors argued in a new court filing.   
      
   By carrying out the assassination-style killing of CEO Brian Thompson last   
   year on a Midtown Manhattan street, Mangione "hoped to normalize the use   
   of violence," instead of reasoned dialogue, to achieve political   
   objectives, prosecutors said. The prosecutors used last month's mass   
   shooting attack on the NFL headquarters in Midtown as an example.   
      
   On July 28, Shane Tamura brought an assault-style rifle to 345 Park   
   Avenue, not far from where Mangione allegedly gunned down Thompson. Tamura   
   shot and killed four people and, like Mangione, left behind writings for   
   investigators to find. Tamura, in a letter found on his body, blamed the   
   NFL and football for causing CTE. Tamura played football in high school,   
   but not beyond that level. (   
      
   CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is a brain disease linked to   
   repeated hits to the head, often seen in military veterans and athletes,   
   including football players, hockey players and boxers. It can only be   
   diagnosed after a person's death.   
      
   Mangione allegedly wrote "deny," "depose" and "delay" on the bullets used   
   to kill Thompson, authorities said. In a notebook found after his arrest,   
   Mangione allegedly wrote in a journal, "The target is insurance" because   
   "it checks every box."   
      
   "The murder was thus, by the defendant’s own admission, calculated to   
   resonate beyond this specific victim and to generate scorn, outrage, or   
   fear toward the health insurance sector more broadly," prosecutors said.   
   "Simply put, the defendant hoped to normalize the use of violence to   
   achieve ideological or political objectives. Since the murder, certain   
   quarters of the public -- who openly identify as acolytes of the defendant   
   -- have increasingly begun to view violence as an acceptable, or even   
   necessary, substitute for reasoned political disagreement."   
      
   The government believes Mangione deserves the death penalty in part   
   because he poses a continuing danger by seeking to influence others.   
      
   Federal prosecutors elaborated on their reasoning for pursuing capital   
   punishment as they urged a federal judge to deny a defense motion that   
   asked for additional evidence to support the government’s theories.   
      
   Prosecutors said Mangione is not entitled to additional information at   
   this stage of the case and argued "the defendant is already in possession   
   of the evidentiary support for the Government’s aggravating factors and   
   there is no risk of surprise."   
      
   Mangione has pleaded not guilty to Thompson's Dec. 4 killing. Mangione is   
   accused of shooting the CEO several times using a 9 mm handgun equipped   
   with a silencer. He was captured in Altoona, Pennsylvania, several days   
   later.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
