Bondi Tells Prosecutors to Seek Death Penalty for Luigi Mangione
Mangione became eligible for the death penalty when the feds leveled charges against him.
Attorney General Pam Bondi told Matthew Podolsky, the acting U.S. attorney in Manhattan, to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione.
Mangione is accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan last December.
“Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,” stated Bondi. “After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again.”
Bondi pointed out that “Mangione’s actions involved substantial planning and premeditation and because the murder took place in public with bystanders nearby, may have posed grave risk of death to additional persons.”
Mangione became eligible for the death penalty when the feds leveled charges against him.
- Count One: Stalking – Travel in Interstate Commerce
- Count Two: Stalking – Use of Interstate Facilities
- Count Three: Murder Through Use of a Firearm
- Court Four: Firearms Offense
He has not entered a plea for the charges.
Mangione still faces 11 charges at the state level, including first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism.
He pleaded not guilty for the state charges.

The jury will be so crazy left, probably consider him innocent
Disgusting
Lock him in a room with victims male relatives
I wonder if it’s actually possible to get 12 jurors in Manhattan to vote for the death penalty? I suspect a few would simply lie about being willing to consider death just to get on the case to hang the penalty phase, leading to life imprisonment.
Probably not. A couple years ago, a Manhattan jury couldn’t reach a unanimous in the Sayfullo Saipov. Saipov was an Islamic terrorist who famously drove a rented truck down a Manhattan bike/walking path killing eight and injuring 13, many of which were seriously injured. If you can’t find a jury to unanimously agree on death for that loser, I don’t see how they get agreement on Mangione. NYC is a lost cause.
“Why would trucks do this?”
The jury for southern district of NY includes New York, Bronx, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess and Sullivan.

Have him sit on Tsarnaev‘s lap when the switch gets thrown.
A two-fer, BOGO offer!
Good. Send this POS to hell, and, show the vile, evil and stupid Dhimmi-crats — who never met a murderer or Muslim terrorist whom they didn’t attempt to venerate, lionize and romanticize — how cowardly criminal thugs should be fairly and properly dealt with, after true justice has been applied.
If you want a show I say put it to a vote
I’m someone who believes the federal application of capital punishment should be used with great circumspection. And, this is EXACTLY the kind of case where it should be used. We, as a nation, cannot tolerate murder for political purposes because to do so, invites chaos and anarchy and will begin to tear the fabricate of our society in a way that likely can’t be repaired.
I espouse Samurai logic.
1.0 I’m glad the CEO got offed. The mother f***er had no problem killing his own customers for profit. There’s a line of elected officials starting with insurance commissioner’s office who should have shared that bullet.
2.0 Death penalty is appropriate for Luigi. If he thought his actions were honorable and necessary, let him have his Samurai death.
That line leads directly to Obama, who’s law allowed insurance companies to rake in billions in profits ahead of their customers health and welfare.
State Insurance Commisioner’s office EXISTS in all 50 states to stop exactly what this CEO is doing.
The fed gov made the law. Why do they get to duck responsibility for the consequences?
Out of curiosity, does your belief in death for CEOs apply to other industries?
For instance car or plane makers can always make something fractionally safer, but at a larger cost the higher the safety percentage goes. And the higher the percentage of safety, the greater the cost between each percentage point. Do they deserve death?
Pharmaceuticals, knowing some percentage of people taking it will die?
Firearms/knife/ax/ etc manufacturers, knowing someone will either misuse their products or will legitimately and legally use them and kill someone?
Alcohol or tobacco companies?
Abortionists?
Pam Bondi or prosecutors for seeking the death penalty?
I’m curious who deserves death for their jobs. All of the things I listed are legal but people debate the morality of them. Who gets shot down in the street by someone who disagrees with them?
Ask the families of people who died from the COVID vax and only took the vax because of economic coercion and assurances it was completely safe?
Ask the families of the victims of Lion Air flight 610.
People have a reasonable expectation that when a product is used as directed they will not die but end up dying as a direct result of willful deceit and corner cutting of executives.
If no- you have a society where the fines of death through lack of life safety QA are just the “cost of doing business.” This society is adjacent with the society that kills it’s most vulnerable because they’ve become inconvenient.
Will your kind ever run out of fingers to point when bad stuff happens?
Pointing whilst sitting on your duff cheering on lawbreaking murderers.
Why can’t you answer a question directly? Does your belief in death for CEOs apply to other industries? Yes or no?
I don’t agree with your list, but how about a list with Soros prosecutors who let violent criminals avoid jail only to kill again and again.
So you are ok with murdering anyone you disagree with. Got it.
I disagree with you, but since your willful neglect nor deceit (nor dishonest debate) is not a cause of death for innocent people, I wish you no harm.
The debate is not dishonest. If that is the standard, there can be legitimate cases made for thousands or millions of people in the US that they deserve death due to their job.
Take the tobacco industry. Using their product as directed will likely kill you. By your logic, we should kill every farmer, truck driver, executive and store clerk involved in the production and distribution of tobacco products. They are all guilty.
The point isn’t whether you agree or not. The point is whether someone, anyone agrees. Your system makes everyone a potential executioner based only on what they consider to be agreeable morally. That way leads to chaos and anarchy.
And no I will not ask families. I’m a prosecutor. The number of people who want the death penalty for even minor crimes that happened to a family member is astonishing. I refuse to let that be the standard.
We either have rules as a society or we don’t have a society.
Aw man now this guy went and convince the FBI to watch this board
PrAyin for your soul. And if i ever met your pinko bEta soy boy sociology-grad-school-ass, I knock Yu out with one punch.
oooo tough guy troll.
What exactly did this CEO do that would lead you to support his cold blooded murder?
Be specific.
From Wikipedia:
UnitedHealthcare has repeatedly faced criticism for its approach to handling claims.[28] It and other insurers were named in an October 2024 report from the United States Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations showing a surge in prior authorization denials for Medicare Advantage patients.[25] Reports of increasing rates of prior authorization denials prompted investigations by ProPublica and the United States Senate, investigations which were described as a “stain” on Thompson’s time of leadership by Fortune.[26] According to Thompson’s widow, he had been receiving threats related to a “lack of [insurance] coverage”.[29]
Lazy. Specifically point to the action that supports murder not vague summary statements from the turd mine.
Wasn’t UH following the contract they established with the patients company? What’s covered depends on that, not the whim of the CEO.
For those unsure of the concept, I was supplying a quick answer to the question not stating an opinion.
The only way the death penalty, much less a guilty conviction, occurs is if it’s moved out of manhattan
He adopted AI (with completely inadequate testing) to use as approving or denying coverage for medical procedures. It was a HUGE cost savings, and an even bigger cost savings because the AI simply denied the majority of claims (inaccurately). Yay— He’s a hero of corporate America in your eyes right? WRONG- people were no longer able to get coverage- which if you’ve been there means you no longer go to the doctor and yes this results in people dying.
This is not a “I disagree…” the f***er took actions that (like COVID vax mandates) caused people to die or suffer who would not have otherwise died or suffered.
Why are you all glazing over the fact that people died as a result of what the CEO did?
No initial denial is final, except in the mind of Democrats and ProPublica (but I repeat myself). Medical entities file bills for preposterous amounts (my most recent VA PCP visit billed to BC/BS at about $650.0- and paid at $69.00. The game is billing stupid amounts to gradually over time raise the Usual/Customary and Reasonable amount higher. All the healthcare professionals do it and the insurers play the other side of the game. Today TXBC/BS and UT Health and Texas Health started the day without a contract, both sides digging in and refusing to agree on a new contract. UT and Texas Health claim they can’t survive on what Blue is offering and Blue says they haven’t proven their case for higher reimbursement given the financial situation of the state and country. They’ll settle, just as they did last year.
And initial denials are filed as reconsiderations and denied reconsiderations are filed as appeals. And if the appeal process doesn’t do it, there’s sometimes a course to court.
No insurer had Wuhan ChiCom Flu mandates, governments did. And while I’m sure the families claim their loved one wouldn’t have died, the fact that their loved one had one foot in the grave and one foot on the proverbial banana peel still can’t be proven to have death caused by refused insurance coverage.
What else would you like to throw up on the wall to hope it will stick?
He was not the CEO at the time when the COVID19 vaccines were approved or came into use. The guidelines that were promulgated, e.g. the transplant guidelines from different medical associations and hospitals that require COVID19 vaccination so that a patient may receive a transplant are not the decision of the individual insurance carrier. United Health Care had nothing to do with those. As for the use of AI in claims processing, this has actually been done for years with less sophisticated AI models, so your anger is not only misplaced, but very misinformed. I deal with insurance companies all day as a practicing physician and have nothing but anger towards them, but that alone does not justify murder.
Cool plan. Murder people you don’t like. Especially elected officials. I can’t see how that could possibly go wrong or lead to anything bad.
Do you want to get in line for the firing squad now, Andy? And I’m not talking about you being ON the squad, I’m talking about you being in front of it.
hi troll.
I’m not trolling, Andy. I’m pointing out the ultimate consequences of your really-totally-awesome-and-totally-well-thought-out-plan to start murdering people for the crime of doing things that you don’t like. It ends with YOU being in front of that firing squad because you’ve pissed someone off. It’s the French Revolution 2.0, and Madame Guillotine doesn’t pick favorites.
Your ideas are the sort of thing we hear from the “peaked in high school” crowd. The people in this comment thread are trying to explain that MURDER IS BAD, and the very concept is escaping you.
Just to be clear, is statement 1.0 your opinion or are you simply repeating Luigi’s opinion, because this is what Luigi had to say about it and is the reason for applying the Samurai’s death?
1.0 is not opinion. it is fact. They were wrongfully denying claims and pocketing the cash.
The state insurance commisioner’s office should have been on top of the fact that they were denying claims in violation of the underlying contract.
But the IC’s office was MIA.
Picture this: your car gets totalled by a drunk driver plougying into you with no insurance. You and your family are hospitalized and the total damage is upwards of 500k. Your insurer’s claims department has adopted AI and auto-denies the claim. The first line of recourse is the insurance commisioners office— they do nothing. Now you have to sue. OK now replace this with health insurance where the insuring contract is a thousand times more complicated with codes that few people know… and multiply YOU by a few thousand customers.
You really don’t have a clue how the business works.
Andy, none of Luigi Mangione’s family, or Luigi himself, were customers or policy holders of United Health Care. So exactly how was his anger justified? Personally—it was not. Was he acting as a social avenger? Who gave him that right? You’re giving him credence as some kind of social justice warrior when he’s really just another spoiled rich kid from an Ivy League university trying to be a hero for people he would not otherwise even say “hello” to on the street. Why the hell are you defending that elitist?
It is also appropriate for spy’s and traitors, especially when they are operating as politicians.
Precisely the breed of swarthy miscreant that the venerable Sullivan Act was written to thwart!
Experts baffled as to why it never does?
Could this be an instance where they’re hoping for a guilty plea in return for taking the death penalty off the table?
Seems very possible to me.
Not if Pam is smart.
Her approval rating with MAGAs is low enough currently. She’s well past her deadline for delivering her “fix gun rights” plan, which is confirming her detractors’ day-zero predictions. Letting this assassin plead would hole her hull.
wouldnt be too harsh on her
the leftists left us 48+ years of things to fix
yeah,,,even trump saying “on day one” etc
is like a fighter saying
I will finish the fight in the first round
as long as the win is gained…thats what counts
Fix all the problems = hard job.
Make a list of the top 20 problems that need to be fixed = not a hard job.
Bondi is still delinquent for number two.
Just fry the bastard and his groupies too, All losers.
CA dem looking to make this guy a hero with naming a bill/law after him:
California ballot measure named after Luigi Mangione would make it illegal to ‘delay, deny’ healthcare coverage: ‘Crazy’
No problem.
Introduce a bill reducing the signature requirement for recall of California politicians, and call it the Booth-Czogolz-Oswald act.
yeah but dems would have to PASS THAT ACT TOO
Just filing it achieves the desired effect.
California residents: “wHY cAN’t i gEt heALth inSuRancE?!?” It’ll probably pass, because it’s exactly stupid enough for Californians to support. When the companies all pull out of the state there won’t be anyone to provide it.
California voters have never understood the idea of “unintended consequences.”
A recent Law and Order episode was based upon this crime.
The perp argued a “defense of others” defense.
To prevent the victim from denying coverage improperly, the perp was saving lives.
The judge allowed this defense.
At the end of the show, the jury had made a decision.
However, the decision was NOT SHARED WITH THE VIEWERS!!
I do not recall this ever happening with the show before.
Not sure he was defending.
This was more like vengeance.
The guy who killed George Tiller tried this defense in real life and the judge refused to allow it. Mind you Tiller had killed over 50,000 babies by himself if I recall.
la times:
The criminal charges were based on cases involving mostly teenagers. One patient was a 10-year-old who was 28 weeks pregnant; another, 24 years old, was 30 weeks pregnant.
Many of the abortions Tiller performed were of fetuses found to be medically compromised.
thanks for remembering this “Doctor”
He was a truly evil “person”
I get the NFA charges and I guess the stalking charges have some nexus to interstate commerce but since when dos the federal government prosecute common murders? This is a dangerous precedent.
Not a precedent at all, he crossed state lines in furtherance of his scheme to assassinate, which provides a Federal nexus (and not the first time it’s ever been prosecuted as such).
Oh, and premeditated homicide isn’t common at all, OK, homicide is common in Chicago on weekends, but it often isn’t premeditated.
So, does that mean that the federal government can take another crack at prosecuting Rittenhouse?
