Everything we know about Luigi Mangione A thread X上有关刺杀联合健康保险公司CEO枪手Luigi Mangione的个人情况（不断更新）

 UnitedHealth 凶杀案嫌疑人毕业于藤校，心怀反资本主义倾向 - WSJ

枪杀 UnitedHealth 高管的嫌疑人 Luigi Mangione 是一名常春藤盟校毕业生。他心怀反资本主义倾向，曾给《大学炸弹客宣言》打高分。有迹象表明他与朋友家人疏远了，并可能有健康问题。

对一位引发公众广泛遐想的犯罪嫌疑人的全力追捕在持续了近一周之后，周一在宾夕法尼亚州中部的一家麦当劳落下了帷幕。这家麦当劳距离 Greyhound 公交车站约半英里，位于该镇一个不起眼的地方。

周一早上，该店一名店员注意到一位独自前来就餐的顾客有些眼熟，于是报了警。很快，此人就被警方拘留。此人名叫 Luigi Mangione，今年 26 岁，警方正对他展开大规模搜捕，怀疑他于上周在曼哈顿有预谋地杀害了 UnitedHealthcare 的首席执行官 Brian Thompson。

当他最终摘下口罩和兜帽时，人们发现，这位神秘人的身份比预想的更加扑朔迷离。在这场明目张胆且似乎经过精心策划的袭击事件中，他是核心人物。一些人将他视为平民英雄，因为他打击了美国医疗健康保险行业，事实上，他是一名精英学校的高材生，是一位心怀反资本主义倾向的、富裕的常春藤盟校毕业生，而这种倾向可能在他的行动中起了一定的作用。

对他阅读习惯的调查发现，在某种程度上，他对激进主义的看法已经转变为对暴力的兴趣。今年 1 月，他在书评网站 Goodreads 上写了一篇令人不寒而栗的文章，评论了卡辛斯基 (Theodore John Kaczynski) 所写的《论工业社会及其未来》(Industrial Society and Its Future)，又名《大学炸弹客宣言》(The Unabomber Manifesto)。他给这篇长文打了四星。

Mangione 在评论中写道：“我在网上发现一个观点很有意思”：

“要敢于承认和平抗议根本无济于事，说到底，他很可能是对的…… 当所有其他形式的沟通都徒劳无功，暴力是生存的必要手段。你可能不喜欢他的方式，但从他的角度来看，这不是恐怖主义，而是战争和革命。”

据纽约市警察局 (NYPD) 探长 Joseph Kenny 称，除了缴获一把自制的 “幽灵” 枪（一把黑色的 3D 打印手枪）、一个 3D 打印的消音器和一张伪造的新泽西州身份证外，警方周一还在 Mangione 身上发现了他手写的三页信。“看起来他确实对美国企业界抱有某种恶意，” Kenny 说，但没有详细说明信件内容。

根据 Mangione 的社交媒体账户，近几个月来，有迹象表明他与朋友和家人疏远了。这些账户可能也揭示了他自身的健康状况。据一位精通骨科知识的医生称，Mangione 的 X 账户用一个人背部的 X 光片做了背景照片，似乎是脊柱融合手术后拍摄的。他的 Goodreads 个人资料显示，他一直在阅读有关背痛的书籍。

根据宾夕法尼亚州警方的一份刑事起诉书，Mangione 被发现时坐在这家麦当劳店内靠后的位置，戴着医用口罩，面前摆着一台笔记本电脑。当一名警察问他最近是否去过纽约时，他沉默了，并开始发抖。

他被逮捕的地点位于匹兹堡以东约 95 英里处。至此，警方对他的追捕已进行了六天。纽约市警察局长 Jessica Tisch 表示，警方在追捕中出动了无人机、警犬小组、潜水员，并对数千小时的视频监控录像进行了筛查。

不到 10 年前，他还是巴尔的摩吉尔曼学校 (Gilman School) 意气风发的优秀毕业生代表，与那时的身份相比，他如今的处境已大相径庭。该校每年学费近 3.8 万美元，他从六年级开始在此就读，直到 2016 年毕业。这所男校以培养出未来的参议员和州长为荣。

他那时的朋友们回忆说，他是一个招人喜欢、爱好运动、勤奋好学、性格内向的人，对科技和机器人很感兴趣。

和 Mangione 一起就读于吉尔曼学校的 Freddie Leatherbury 说，当他在与几位高中同学的群聊中听到有关这个昔日同窗的惊人消息时，他一开始以为这是一个玩笑。

“这孩子真的没什么不对劲的，” 现年 26 岁、在巴尔的摩地区从事会计师工作的 Leatherbury 说。“他有很多优点。”

从吉尔曼学校毕业后，Mangione 进入了宾夕法尼亚大学 (University of Pennsylvania) 学习，主修计算机科学，并获得了硕士学位。他是 2020 届毕业生，入选了一个学术荣誉协会，该协会只招收电子和计算机工程专业的优等生。他还创办了一个游戏开发俱乐部，似乎很享受兄弟会生活，经常在 Instagram 上发布自己和 Phi Kappa Psi 兄弟会兄弟们的照片，照片中他们经常坐在兄弟会之家门口摆放的沙发上。

在马里兰州，Mangione 家族是一个著名的意大利裔美国家族。该家族于 1977 年创办了老年护理公司 Lorien Healthcare，提供护理和生活协助等服务。他们还在马里兰州埃利科特城开发了水疗和会议中心 Turf Valley Resort，并在巴尔的摩郊区开办了 Hayfields Country Club。Luigi Mangione 的堂兄 Nino Mangione 是该州众议院的共和党议员。他没有回应记者的置评请求。

Luigi Mangione 早年曾表现出理想主义倾向。2015 年，当时还在上高中的他在博客中谈到了计算机科学在平衡社会经济竞争环境方面的潜力。

“人生的简单事实就是，有些人天生就拥有更好的机会，” 他在 WordPress 的一篇帖子中写道。“然而，计算机科学领域可能会让所有人都能获得这种机会。我完全是自学编程的，免费的，从未在学校上过任何课程。”

巴尔的摩是一个大城市，但其富裕精英阶层的社交圈却像是一个小镇，当他们问 “你在哪个学校上的学” 时，他们通常指的是高中，而不是大学。

一段 Mangione 在毕业典礼上发表演讲的视频显示，这位前途无量的年轻人身穿西装外套，打着本校的领带，大步走向讲台，翻领上别着一朵白花。Mangione 彬彬有礼，他感谢了父母和老师，并特别感谢了一位入学时不会说英语的同学。他的演讲主题是将创新与传统相结合。他称赞同学们很有勇气，想出了一个新颖的班级筹款方式：每天午餐时间卖几十个 Chick-fil-A 三明治，以此作为班级筹款活动。

这个时期拍摄的照片往往能捕捉到 Mangione 灿烂的笑容——上周警方在试图追踪他时发布的一张照片中，他露出了一丝这样的笑容，许多人因此在社交媒体上把他和好莱坞明星提摩西 · 夏勒梅 (Timothee Chalamet) 做比较。

据警方称，大学毕业后，他在旧金山和檀香山待过一段时间。

Mangione 似乎读了很多书。他在 Goodreads 上写了 13 篇书评，其中四篇包含指向公共 Google Drive 文件夹的链接，这些文件夹中存放着他的手写想法和反馈的 PDF 文件。

在对蒂姆 · 费里斯 (Tim Ferriss) 所着《每周工作 4 小时》(The Four-Hour Workweek)一书的评论中，Mangione 提到了自己的母亲为了遵循社会规范，要求他用右手吃牛排，尽管他天生就是左撇子——以及他对循规蹈矩行为的不屑。

他在 X 上关注的账号包括斯诺登 (Edward Snowden)、阿尔特曼(Sam Altman)、乔 · 罗根(Joe Rogan) 和科尔特斯 (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) 等。他的社交媒体帖子表明，他存在健康问题，或者对健康问题很感兴趣。

他还曾在 X 上发布过有关心理健康和大脑可塑性的帖子，1 月份时 Mangione 分享了一位印度哲学家的话：“在一个病入膏肓的社会里，即便一个人适应得很好，也不代表这个人就具备了良好的健康状况。”

执法部门仍在拼凑 Mangione 抵达纽约之前几天发生的事情。到纽约后，他住在曼哈顿上西区的一家青年旅舍里。上周三黎明时分，Brian Thompson 在步行前往希尔顿酒店 (Hilton Hotel) 参加 UnitedHealthcare 年度投资者大会的路上遭到枪袭。

根据社交媒体上的帖子，有迹象表明，近几个月来，Mangione 已经成为一些朋友的担忧对象。

“嘿，伙计，给我打个电话。我不知道你现在好不好，或者只是在一个与世隔绝的地方…… 但我已经好几个月没有你的消息了”，7 月份时一名男子在 X 上给 Mangione 留言道，他提醒 Mangione，“别忘了你对我的婚礼作过的承诺，如果你不能兑现，最好告诉我，方便我调整计划”。

10 月 30 日，另一个人发帖称：“@PepMangione 嘿，你还好吗？几个月都没有你的消息了，而且很显然你的家人正在找你。”

法庭文件显示，Luigi Mangione被指控一项二级谋杀罪、两项二级非法持有武器罪、一项二级非法持有伪造文件罪和一项三级非法持有枪支罪。不允许保释。他当庭没有提出抗辩。 他的家人通过其堂兄Nino Mangione（马里兰州议员）发表了家族声明，称为受害人祈祷。 他的家族是巴尔的摩-华盛顿都市区一个很有影响力的房地产家族，拥有两家高尔夫球场社区俱乐部，还拥有保守派广播电台 WCBM-AM，也拥有养老院公司 Lorien Health Services。

luigi mangione's last words

The second amendment means I am my own chief executive and commander in chief of my own military. I authorize my own act of self-defense in response to a hostile entity making war on me and my family.
第二修正案意味着我是我自己的首席执行官和我自己的军队的总司令。我授权自己采取自卫行为，以回应敌对实体对我和我的家人发动的战争。

Nelson Mandela says no form of viooence can be excused. Camus says it’s all the same, whether you live or die or have a cup of coffee. MLK says violence never brings permanent peace. Gandhi says that non-violence is the mightiest power available to mankind.
纳尔逊·曼德拉表示，任何形式的暴力都是不可原谅的。加缪说，无论你是生是死，还是喝杯咖啡，一切都是一样的。马丁·路德·金表示，暴力永远不会带来永久和平。甘地说，非暴力是人类最强大的力量。

That’s who they tell you are heroes. That’s who our revolutionaries are.
那就是他们告诉你的英雄。这就是我们的革命者。

Yet is that not capitalistic? Non-violence keeps the system working at full speed ahead.
但这不是资本主义吗？非暴力使系统能够全速运转。

What did it get us. Look in the mirror.
它给我们带来了什么。照照镜子。

They want us to be non-violent, so that they can grow fat off the blood they take from us.
他们希望我们非暴力，这样他们就可以利用从我们身上夺走的血液来长胖。

The only way out is through. Not all of us will make it. Each of us is our own chief executive. You have to decide what you will tolerate.
唯一的出路就是通过。并不是我们所有人都能成功。我们每个人都是自己的首席执行官。你必须决定你能容忍什么。

In Gladiator 1 Maximus cuts into the military tattoo that identifies him as part of the roman legion. His friend asks “Is that the sign of your god?” As Maximus carves deeper into his own flesh, as his own blood drips down his skin, Maximus smiles and nods yes. The tattoo represents the emperor, who is god. The god emperor has made himself part of Maximus’s own flesh. The only way to destroy the emperor is to destroy himself. Maximus smiles through the pain because he knows it is worth it.
在《角斗士 1》中，马克西姆斯切开了军事纹身，表明他是罗马军团的一员。他的朋友问：“这是你神的标志吗？”当马克西姆斯更深地切入自己的血肉时，当他自己的血液顺着他的皮肤滴落时，马克西姆斯微笑着点头表示“是”。纹身代表皇帝，他是神。神帝已经将自己变成了马克西姆斯的肉身的一部分。摧毁皇帝的唯一方法就是摧毁他自己。马克西姆斯在痛苦中微笑，因为他知道这是值得的。

These might be my last words. I don’t know when they will come for me. I will resist them at any cost. That’s why I smile through the pain.
这可能是我的最后一句话。我不知道他们什么时候会来找我。我会不惜一切代价抵制他们。这就是为什么我在痛苦中微笑。

They diagnosed my mother with severe neuropathy when she was forty-one years old. She said it started ten years before that with burning sensations in her feet and occasional sharp stabbing pains. At first the pain would last a few moments, then fade to tingling, then numbness, then fade to nothing a few days later.
我母亲四十一岁时，他们诊断出她患有严重的神经病。她说十年前就开始了，当时她的脚有烧灼感，偶尔还会有剧烈的刺痛。起初疼痛会持续几分钟，然后逐渐减弱为刺痛，然后麻木，几天后消失。

The first time the pain came she ignored it. Then it came a couple times a year and she ignored it. Then every couple months. Then a couple times a month. Then a couple times a week. At that point by the time the tingling faded to numbness, the pain would start, and the discomfort was constant. At that point even going from the couch to the kitchen to make her own lunch became a major endeavor
第一次疼痛袭来时，她忽略了它。然后每年都会出现几次，但她都忽略了。然后每隔几个月。然后每个月几次。然后每周几次。到那时，当刺痛感消失到麻木时，疼痛就会开始，并且持续的不适。那时，甚至从沙发到厨房自己做午餐也成为了一项重大努力

She started with ibuprofen, until the stomach aches and acid reflux made her switch to acetaminophen. Then the headaches and barely sleeping made her switch back to ibuprofen.
她开始服用布洛芬，直到胃痛和胃酸反流使她改用对乙酰氨基酚。然后，头痛和睡眠不足让她重新开始服用布洛芬。

The first doctor said it was psychosomatic. Nothing was wrong. She needed to relax, destress, sleep more.
第一个医生说这是心身问题。没有什么问题。她需要放松、减压、多睡觉。

The second doctor said it was a compressed nerve in her spine. She needed back surgery. It would cost $180,000. Recovery would be six months minimum before walking again. Twelve months for full potential recovery, and she would never lift more than ten pounds of weight again.
第二位医生说这是她脊柱上的神经受压。她需要进行背部手术。它将花费 180,000 美元。恢复至少需要六个月才能再次行走。十二个月才能完全恢复，她再也不会举起超过十磅的重量了。

The third doctor performed a Nerve Conduction Study, Electromyography, MRI, and blood tests. Each test cost $800 to $1200. She hit the $6000 deductible of her UnitedHealthcare plan in October. Then the doctor went on vacation, and my mother wasn’t able to resume tests until January when her deductible reset.
第三位医生进行了神经传导研究、肌电图、MRI 和血液检查。每次测试费用为 800 至 1200 美元。 10 月份，她的 UnitedHealthcare 计划的免赔额达到了 6000 美元。然后医生去度假了，我母亲直到一月份自付额重置后才能够恢复检查。

The tests showed severe neuropathy. The $180,000 surgery would have had no effect.
测试显示有严重的神经病变。 18万美元的手术根本没有效果。

They prescribed opioids for the pain. At first the pain relief was worth the price of constant mental fog and constipation. She didn’t tell me about that until later. All I remember is we took a trip for the first time in years, when she drove me to Monterey to go to the aquarium. I saw an otter in real life, swimming on its back. We left at 7am and listened to Green Day on the four-hour car ride. Over time, the opioids stopped working. They made her MORE sensitive to pain, and she felt withdrawal symptoms after just two or three hours.
他们开了阿片类药物来止痛。起初，缓解疼痛是值得付出持续的精神迷雾和便秘的代价的。直到后来她才告诉我这件事。我只记得我们多年来第一次旅行，当时她开车送我去蒙特利去水族馆。我在现实生活中看到一只水獭在背上游泳。我们早上 7 点出发，在四个小时的车程中听了 Green Day 的音乐。随着时间的推移，阿片类药物不再起作用。它们使她对疼痛更加敏感，两三个小时后她就出现了戒断症状。

Then gabapentin. By now the pain was so bad she couldn’t exercise, which compounded the weight gain from the slowed metabolic rate and hormonal shifts. And it barely helped the pain, and made her so fatigued she would go an entire day without getting out of bed.
然后是加巴喷丁。到现在为止，疼痛非常严重，她无法运动，这加剧了新陈代谢速度减慢和荷尔蒙变化导致的体重增加。它几乎没有缓解疼痛，而且让她非常疲劳，她会一整天都不能下床。

Then Corticosteroids. Which didn’t even work.
然后是皮质类固醇。这甚至不起作用。

The pain was so bad I would hear my mother wake up in the night screaming in pain. I would run into her room, asking if she’s OK. Eventually I stopped getting up. She’d yell out anguished shrieks of wordless pain or the word “fuck” stretched and distended to its limits. I’d turn over and go back to sleep.
疼痛非常严重，我会听到妈妈在夜里醒来，痛苦地尖叫。我会跑进她的房间，问她是否还好。最终我不再站起来。她会大声喊出无声痛苦的痛苦尖叫声，或者“操”这个词被拉伸和膨胀到极限。我会翻身回去睡觉。

All of this while they bled us dry with follow-up appointment after follow-up appointment, specialist consultations, and more imagine scans. Each appointment was promised to be fully covered, until the insurance claims were delayed and denied. Allopathic medicine did nothing to help my mother’s suffering. Yet it is the foundation of our entire society.
在这一切的同时，他们通过一次又一次的后续预约、专家咨询和更多的想象扫描让我们流血不止。每次预约都承诺全额承保，直到保险索赔被延迟和拒绝。对抗疗法对我母亲的痛苦没有任何帮助。然而它是我们整个社会的基础。

My mother told me that on a good day the nerve pain was like her legs were immersed in ice water. On a bad day it felt like her legs were clamped in a machine shop vice, screwed down to where the cranks stopped turning, then crushed further until her ankle bones sprintered and cracked to accommodate the tightening clamp. She had more bad days than good.
我妈妈告诉我，天气好的时候，神经痛就像她的腿浸在冰水中一样。在糟糕的一天，感觉就像她的双腿被夹在机械车间的虎钳里，拧到曲柄停止转动的地方，然后进一步挤压，直到她的脚踝骨冲刺并破裂以容纳收紧的夹子。她的糟糕日子多于好日子。

My mother crawled to the bathroom on her hands and knees. I slept in the living room to create more distance from her cries in the night. I still woke up, and still went back to sleep.
我妈妈用手和膝盖爬进浴室。我睡在客厅，以便与她晚上的哭声保持更远的距离。我还是醒了，又继续睡。

Back then I thought there was nothing I could do.
那时我以为我无能为力。

The high copays made consistent treatment impossible. New treatments were denied as “not medically necessary.” Old treatments didn’t work, and still put us out for thousands of dollars.
高额的共付额使得一致的治疗变得不可能。新的治疗方法被拒绝，因为“在医学上没有必要”。旧的治疗方法不起作用，而且仍然让我们损失了数千美元。

UnitedHealthcare limited specialist consultations to twice a year.
联合医疗保健将专家咨询次数限制为每年两次。

Then they refused to cover advanced imaging, which the specialists required for an appointment.
然后他们拒绝承保专家预约时要求的高级影像检查。

Prior authorizations took weeks, then months.
事先的授权需要几周、然后几个月的时间。

UnitedHealthcare constantly changed their claim filing procedure. They said my mother’s doctor needed to fax his notes. Then UnitedHealthcare said they did not save faxed patient correspondence, and required a hardcopy of the doctor’s typed notes to be mailed. Then they said they never received the notes. They were unable to approve the claim until they had received and filed the notes.
UnitedHealthcare 不断改变他们的索赔申请程序。他们说我母亲的医生需要传真他的笔记。然后联合医疗保健公司表示，他们没有保存传真的患者信件，并要求邮寄医生打印的纸条的硬拷贝。然后他们说他们从未收到过这些纸条。在收到并提交票据之前，他们无法批准索赔。

They promised coverage, and broke their word to my mother.
他们承诺提供报道，但却违背了对我母亲的诺言。

With every delay, my anger surged. With every denial, I wanted to throw the doctor through the glass wall of their hospital waiting room.
每拖延一次，我的怒火就会激增。每一次否认，我都想把医生从医院候诊室的玻璃墙扔出去。

But it wasn’t them. It wasn’t the doctors, the receptionists, administrators, pharmacists, imaging technicians, or anyone we ever met. It was UnitedHealthcare.
但不是他们。这不是医生、接待员、管理人员、药剂师、影像技术人员或我们见过的任何人。那是联合医疗保健。

People are dying. Evil has become institutionalized. Corporations make billions of dollars off the pain, suffering, death, and anguished cries in the night of millions of Americans.
人们正在死去。邪恶已经制度化了。企业从数百万美国人夜间的痛苦、痛苦、死亡和痛苦的哭泣中赚取了数十亿美元。

We entered into an agreement for healthcare with a legally binding contract that promised care commensurate with our insurance payments and medical needs. Then UnitedHealthcare changes the rules to suit their own profits. They think they make the rules, and think that because it’s legal that no one can punish them.
我们签订了一份具有法律约束力的医疗保健协议，承诺提供与我们的保险付款和医疗需求相称的护理。然后联合医疗保健改变规则以适应自己的利润。他们认为规则是他们制定的，并且认为因为这是合法的，所以没有人可以惩罚他们。

They think there’s no one out there who will stop them.
他们认为没有人能阻止他们。

Now my own chronic back pain wakes me in the night, screaming in pain. I sought out another type of healing that showed me the real antidote to what ails us.
现在，我自己的慢性背痛让我在夜里醒来，痛苦地尖叫。我找到了另一种治疗方法，它向我展示了治疗我们疾病的真正解药。

I bide my time, saving the last of my strength to strike my final blows. All extractors must be forced to swallow the bitter pain they deal out to millions.
我等待时机，积蓄最后的力量来进行最后的打击。所有的榨取者都必须被迫承受他们给数百万人带来的痛苦。

As our own chief executives, it’s our obligation to make our own lives better. First and foremost, we must seek to improve our own circumstances and defend ourselves. As we do so, our actions have ripple effects that can improve the lives of others.
作为我们自己的首席执行官，我们有义务让自己的生活变得更好。首先，我们必须设法改善我们自己的处境并捍卫自己。当我们这样做时，我们的行为会产生连锁反应，可以改善他人的生活。

Rules exist between two individuals, in a network that covers the entire earth. Some of these rules are written down. Some of these rules emerge from natural respect between two individuals. Some of these rules are defined in physical laws, like the properties of gravity, magnetism or the potential energy stored in the chemical bonds of potassium nitrate.
规则存在于两个人之间，存在于覆盖整个地球的网络中。其中一些规则被写下来。其中一些规则源于两个人之间的自然尊重。其中一些规则是在物理定律中定义的，例如重力、磁性或储存在硝酸钾化学键中的势能的特性。

No single document better encapsulates the belief that all people are equal in fundamental worth and moral status and the frameworks for fostering collective well-being than the US constitution.
没有任何一份文件比美国宪法更能体现所有人在基本价值和道德地位上平等的信念以及促进集体福祉的框架。

Writing a rule down makes it into a law. I don’t give a fuck about the law. Law means nothing. What does matter is following the guidance of our own logic and what we learn from those before us to maximize our own well-being, which will then maximize the well-being of our loved ones and community.
将规则写下来使其成为法律。我才不在乎法律呢。法律毫无意义。重要的是遵循我们自己的逻辑的指导以及我们从前人那里学到的东西，以最大限度地提高我们自己的福祉，从而最大限度地提高我们所爱的人和社区的福祉。

That’s where UnitedHealthcare went wrong. They violated their contract with my mother, with me, and tens of millions of other Americans. This threat to my own health, my family’s health, and the health of our country’s people requires me to respond with an act of war.
这就是联合医疗保健出了问题的地方。他们违反了与我母亲、我以及数千万其他美国人的合同。这种对我自己的健康、我家人的健康以及我国人民的健康的威胁要求我以战争行为作出回应。
