Luigi Mangione, 26, is facing the death penalty for allegedly killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan street last December. Since the Department of Justice’s announcement that it would seek capital punishment in the case, Mangione’s fans have flooded his legal defense fund with donations, with one declaring they are “absolutely appalled and disgusted” by the decision. Many see him as a righteous folk hero whose act was a protest against a corrupt healthcare system.

Charles Fain Lehman, fellow at the Manhattan Institute and senior editor of City Journal, believes Mangione’s crime is the very reason the death penalty exists: to draw a hard moral line against political violence in a democratic society. Nick Gillespie, editor at large at Reason magazine and host of The Reason Interview with Nick Gillespie, disagrees. He says the government has no business taking a life—no matter what. First up, Charles Fain Lehman:With Luigi Mangione, the moral facts are clear.

The president won by appealing to strivers, hoping to get rich. His tariffs now threaten that support. In a February interview, Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona observed that when talking with Latino men on the campaign trail, he had been struck by their emphasis on earning money as a source of pride. As he put it in underscoring the point, “Every Latino man wants a big-ass truck.” What more perfect emblem is there for making it in the America of 2025?

RT @MattGrossmann: Elites’ violent rhetoric increases support for political violence among co-partisans in the public https://t.co/UFJ74izc…

It’s all happening on X the everything app https://t.co/puyOvNaYvy

The problem is neither competency nor the alleged corruptness of the courts - it’s the categories of immigrants and the rights and process the law entitles them to. Contemporary immigrants are *harder to deport*

Makes the opposite of the point she wants. In reality: If you get a halfway competent team in the White House-- the kind that doesn't tariff Penguin Island or send the wrong letter to Harvard-- mass deportations are feasible and constitutional. [IRL we do it every month] https://t.co/aTKQsWGEsx
