What drives someone to become a self-styled "soldier of righteousness"? Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has sparked a disturbing wave of public fascination. From his ideological obsession with anti-corporate America to his apparent admiration for figures like the Unabomber, Mangione’s descent into radicalization raises chilling questions about the intersection of mental health, personality, and societal frustration. With memes hailing him as a modern Robin Hood, how has he managed to tap into the collective outrage over a broken healthcare system?



Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott delves into the psychological and societal underpinnings of this case, questioning whether Mangione’s actions reflect a mental health crisis, a deep-seated narcissistic trait, or something even more insidious. As public support for Mangione grows online, the conversation shifts to the terrifying potential for social contagion and copycat crimes. Is this the warning bell of an unhealthy society, and what does it say about the limits of justice when ideology becomes the star witness in the court of public opinion?



Would you call it hero worship—or something far darker?
