▍原文
Luigi Mangione, a privileged scion of a well-to-do family and Ivy League graduate, emerged as a suspect in a "brazen and targeted" killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.
This incident reflected many American's fury toward the health care industry, with Mangione garnering sympathy online and offers to pay his legal bills.
As Mangione entered a courthouse, he yelled, "It's completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people. It’s lived experience."
