After reading Mangione’s whole manifesto, a highly literate account of his mother’s endless pain and his own endless pain, plus the endless failure of United “Health” to honor its own CONTRACT, I had a new thought.
He will probably get better medical care in prison than he did outside the walls.
Prisons are NOT ALLOWED to withhold medical care or food, and they take the duty seriously. I’ve been there and I know.
Was this Mangione’s real purpose? His methods fit the goal. His easy capture reminds me of desperate homeless dudes who commit an obvious crime to reserve a bed and three squares in jail.
I had a similar grotesque realization during Trump’s “virus” torture camp, when Trump forced us to wear Trump-brand strangulation devices if we wanted to get food. Prisons can’t do that. They can’t withhold food as punishment for disobedience. Only civilians with “rights” can be starved and killed when a ruler or corporation feels like starving or killing some peasants.
