The man accused of murdering the UnitedHealthcare CEO in New York City last year previously considered a mass-killing bombing, according to court documents.
Luigi Mangione, accused of fatally shooting Brian Thompson, wrote in a manifesto that he was relieved he did not follow through on a bombing, the New York Post reported late Wednesday.
“I’m glad — in a way — that I’ve procrastinated because it allowed me to learn more about UHC,” Mangione wrote in red spiral notebooks, parts of which were revealed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution team.
“In MD [Maryland] would’ve been an unjustified catastrophe that would be perceived mostly as sick, but more importantly unhelpful,” he added after insinuating “innocents” would have been killed.

“The point is made in the news headline Insurance CEO killed at annual investors conference,” Mangione wrote. “It conveys a greedy bastard that had it coming.
