They\u2019re still fanning the flames.<\/p>\n

Luigi Mangione\u2019s legions of twisted fans were unapologetic in supporting the now-admitted assassin after he pleaded guilty Friday in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.<\/p>\n

The fanatics gathered outside the Manhattan federal courthouse where Mangione, 28, copped a guilty plea to two stalking charges and continued to frame his cold-blooded December 2024 slaying of Thompson as a protest against an unjust health insurance system.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see it more of a revolutionary act of protest, the likes of which we haven\u2019t seen since the civil rights era,\u201d said Abril Rios, 27, a self-identifying \u201cMangionista\u201d and political advocate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope Brian Thompson is the last death from the healthcare industry. I would also like to see no more violence, no more profit motive there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another Mangione superfan \u2013 Christina Marani \u2013 brushed off Thompson\u2019s death as small potatoes compared to the spotlight it shined on health insurance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a way, it\u2019s really unfortunate that someone had to die to spark the conversations that we\u2019re now having, but unfortunately that\u2019s the way it is,\u201d she said. \u201cHis death resulted in us having these tough conversations about health care inequality and people suffering in America.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot necessarily worth it,\u201d she said of Thompson\u2019s slaying, \u201cbut I can understand the effects that have come from it.\u201d<\/p>\n
