The Fox News host Laura Ingraham described those who have rallied behind Mangione as “nutbag people”. But in memes shared across TikTok, X and Instagram, he’s an Italian “daddy” and “brat” with washboard abs and a Cheshire cat grin.
“The suspect, who police now believe to be Mangione, was a fit young man and I think it’d be mistaken to overlook the degree that likely propelled the story,” said Holt.
The other feature of Mangione is one that plays an outsized role in every single point of American life: his race. If he were Black or Latino, this story would likely have played out very differently. This raises the question of whether celebrating his version of vigilantism falls in line with the hero worship of a white savior.
Mangione, for example, was arrested alive and without incident. But Black people, even without the notoriety of being lethal assassins on the lam, are statistically the most likely to be murdered by police in the US.

Jfl, this legit feels a bit like whoever wrote this reads this forum. Not only did they admit that his good looks played a part but also indirectly shat on the "Meds aren't white" copers. @Regenerator @DarkStar
