STRANGE SUPPORT

CEO ‘killer’ Luigi Mangione’s fellow inmates shout sick chants from prison as they complain about his cell ‘conditions’

It comes after sick wanted posters were plastered all over New York

INMATES in jail with the alleged CEO assassin have been heard shouting "Free Luigi" in the latest disturbing show of support for the suspect.

The prisoners interrupted a TV interview with their chants, which could be heard live on air from the State Correctional Institution in Huntington, Pennsylvania, where Luigi Mangione is being held.

Mangione, 26, was arrested on Monday for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson after a five-day manhunt.

On Wednesday, as NewsNation reporter Alex Caprariello was reporting from outside the jail, inmates could be heard screaming at him from inside.

One was heard yelling, "Luigi's conditions suck," while another shouted, "Free Luigi."

Caprariello returned to the jail at 10 pm for host Ashleigh Banfield, who asked the inmates questions from her newsdesk.

Asked if Mangione had a TV in his cell, prisoners screamed "no" and flickered their lights to signal the answers to questions.

Banfield also read the prison's menu for the day and asked inmates if the food was good.

A chorus of prisoners responded, screaming that it was "terrible" and "BS."

"This is the strangest interview I've ever conducted," Banfield admitted.

Authorities have repeatedly shot down claims that Ivy League graduate Mangione is a "hero" after disturbed supporters praised Thompson's heinous assassination.

It first became clear that he would become a divisive figure when cops launched a five-day manhunt and some members of the public took to social media to say they would not help in the search.

CEO ‘assassin’ Luigi Mangione ‘plotted bombing MANHATTAN and penned sick to-do list before killing Brian Thompson’

He's now been flooded with offers to pay his legal bills.

And in recent days, a slew of 'wanted' posters have been plastered on the streets of New York featuring the names and faces of other health insurance CEOs, sparking copycat attack fears.

The gross posters say the execs are wanted for "denying medical care for corporate profit."

They state, "When the rich rob the poor it's called business. When the poor fight back it's called violence."


What we know so far...


When investigators searched the murder scene on December 4, they found three bullet casings with the words "Deny" "Defend," and "Depose" etched into them.

The phrase has been reprinted on the posters and the sick motto is thought to be a message about the healthcare industry.

The words are similar to a 2010 book, Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claim and What You Can Do About It, written by insurance law expert and Rutgers Law School professor Jay M. Feinman.

In the days since Thompson's death, executives in the health insurance industry have reported being threatened and harassed.

Law enforcement officers have faced similar behavior following the suspect's arrest on Monday.
