Writer who spoke to Luigi Mangione months before murder reveals Luigi’s ‘depression’

Author Gurwinder Bhogal revealed in an interview with CNN that he met with Luigi Mangio just months before UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was murdered Luigi Mangione spoke for two hours and said Mangione mentioned dissatisfaction with the U.S. health care system.

CNN’s Erin Burnett asked Bogar about his May video call with Mangione. Burnett said the timing was important because it was just before Mangione went “off the grid” in July.

Mangione was arrested on suspicion of murdering Thompson at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s. Thompson was shot and killed outside a Manhattan hotel.

“I mean, there’s a couple of things that make more sense now. But I mean, I can’t say that I could really predict his behavior from that video call. Well, you know, he did We had a brief exchange where he mentioned his dissatisfaction with the American health care system, which he said was very expensive.

“I told him about the NHS because in the UK we have free healthcare. He seemed to admire the UK healthcare system. I told him it wasn’t simple because although it was great, I was a big supporter of Medicare for All. “I said it’s not that simple because we have a huge waiting list in the UK, so, you know, there are some trade-offs, but I did say the UK a little bit,” Bogar added.

Bogar also discussed some other things he remembered about Mangione from the conversation.

“He cares a lot about things like Internet porn, like he believes a lot of men won’t go out and meet women because they’re addicted to porn. He really cares about video games. He believes people aren’t achieving what they are in the real world. Nothing is accomplished because they get their dopamine from video games,” Bogar said.

Bogar said Mangione was concerned about the impact of social media on people.

“He was worried that this would happen to him too. I mean, one of the themes of the conversation was that he wanted my advice on how to regain some agency,” he said.
