He shouted at reporters, “This is completely unjust and is an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience!”

Hmmm, what an odd thing to yell. Is Luigi the real killer?
USA Today reports:
A day after Luigi Mangione was arrested in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, prosecutors in New York City sought to extradite the suspect on multiple charges as new details about his possible motive began to emerge.
Mangione arrived at a Tuesday afternoon hearing in Blair County, Pennsylvania, in a police vehicle and yelled out a statement that appeared to include the phrase “insult to the intelligence of the American people” as he was being directed to the courthouse by sheriff’s deputies.
An arrest warrant filed Tuesday in New York City says Mangione, 26, faces charges of second-degree murder, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second-degree, criminal possession of a forged instrument and criminal possession of a weapon in the third-degree.
Mangione did not enter a plea during his appearance in court on Monday. However, he did deny several claims made by the Pennsylvania prosecutors.

Prosecutors said Mangione was found with several thousands of dollars in cash, a portion of it in foreign currency, CNN and The Associated Press reported. The suspected gunman disputed the amount and suggested it may have been planted, according to CNN and Fox News.com.
Mangione also denied knowing about sophisticated criminal tactics, CNN reported, particularly the use of a Faraday bag, which blocks electronic devices from electromagnetic signals.
This whole thing is fishy and nothing seems to be adding up. What do you think?
