Shed on his childhood

Xny/Star Max/GC imagesResearch discovery had an actor who expressed the words of Mangione from a letter he wrote to the authorities, comments he left online and statements he had made on his Mister_Cactus Reddit account before he was arrested.
“I remember once as a young child who played with friends. Fantasizing, we each sketched our ideal ‘Dream Home’, “he wrote via Reddit. “All others attracted complicated mansions. I outlined the map of a small, square house. They thought I was weird. I thought their mansions were full of bulls -. ‘
Mangione grew up to pursue ‘a degree in computer science’ and also ‘very interested in Bioinformatics’. He also discussed that he was ‘hyper obsessed with efficiency’, while he was ‘never materialistic’, who ‘continued to exist in adulthood’ and inspired him to become an engineer.
“In high school I was fascinated by the idea of living out of a can. Well, not ‘live’ that way, but being able to survive in the wild with nothing more than a survival kit that is small enough to fit into an Altoids, “he described. “And it is a good memory that we are able to go long periods without needing many things.”

Mangione are detailed being “waking up every night in bed” but waking up “to feel unacceptable, regardless of how much sleep” he got.
“The symptoms deteriorated exponentially last year after the very tame Hell Week of my brotherhood. I just couldn’t recover from a week of disturbed sleep, “he noticed. “It is absolutely brutal to have such a problem with relieving a life-especially because the problem itself wears out the critical logical way of thinking that you usually use to tackle it.”
Mangione continued: “I played cheese with my roommate every day. I used it as a metric to see how the brain fog improved. In the end I just stopped because I could never remember a strategy. He would use the same movements against me day after day and I would just not remember them. “
Dealing with the challenges all alone

The problems of Mangione became worse in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemie when he injured his back.
“It started when I worsened my sponge for the first time [Spondylolisthesis] A year and a half ago after surfing, “he remembered. “My back and hips are locked up after the accident and my entire lumbar/hips are no longer crazy. There is bladder and genital pain in the past year. “
Mangione’s comments emphasized his concerns about his future, in which he added: ‘It was completely devastating as a young, athletic person. Apparently I could only read on the internet that I was intended for chronic pain and a desk job for the rest of my life. “
After looking for help from professionals, Mangione was surprised that he did not feel better.
“I was operated on two weeks ago because I had nerve problems,” he continued. “The operation was painful for the first few days. But I was shocked that on day seven I was literally on zero painkillers. It will clearly take a while until I am in rigorous activity, but it was less important than I expected. “
Mangione used his experience to encourage others to explore different approaches, write: “Keep trying different surgeons. Tell them: “You can’t work or do your work.” We live in a capitalist society. I have discovered that the medical industry responds much more urgently to these keywords than describes your unbearable pain and how this influences your quality of life. “
His thoughts about the Unabomber

Luigi Mangione
Xny/Star Max/GC imagesTed Kaczynski – also known as the Unabomber – was arrested in 1996 and argued guilty of accusations, including the transport of an explosive with the intention of killing or injuring it, to send an explosive with the intention of killing or to kill a destructive device or to injured and a destructive device to enter into a crime of violence. He was sentenced to eight consecutive conditions in prison without the possibility of conditional release and he died due to suicide in June 2023.
Mangione weighed on the Kaczynski manifesto in a review on social media.
“It is easy to write this off quickly and thoughtlessly as the manifesto of a madman to prevent some of the uncomfortable problems being confronted that it identifies,” he wrote, according to the Discovery Doc research. “He was a violent individual – rightly caught – who mutilated innocent people. Although these actions tend to be characterized as those of a crazy Luddite, they are more accurately seen as those of an extreme political revolutionary. “
Unpack his letter to the authorities

Curtis Means-Pool/Getty imagesThe docuseries are concluded by exhibiting fragments from the letter from Mangione to the authorities.
“I will keep this short for the FBI, because I respect what you are doing for our country. To save you a long -term investigation, I clearly declare that I was not working with anyone, “he explained. “This was quite trivial: some basic social engineering, basic cad, a lot of patience. My technology is quite locked up because I work in Engineering, so probably not much information there. I apologize for every battle of traumas, but it had to be done. To be honest, these parasites just got it. ‘
Mangione outlined his reasoning and added: “A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive health care system in the world, but we rank around no. 42 in life expectancy. United is the largest company in the US of Market Cap, behind Apple, Google, Walmart only. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No, the reality is that these Mafiosos have just become too powerful and they will continue to abuse our country for enormous profit because the American audience has allowed them to get away with it. The problem is clearly more complex, but I have no room, and to be honest I don’t pretend that I am the most qualified person to postpone the entire argument. “
He concluded: “But many have enlightened corruption and greed (eg Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems remain. At the moment it is no problem of consciousness, but clearly power games in the game. Apparently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty. ‘
