These lines reportedly come from a notebook found in Possession by Luigi Mangionethe 26-year-old man suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

After Mangione was taken into custody earlier this week at a McDonald’s restaurant in Altoona, Pennsylvania, the public slowly began to learn about the man police believe committed one of the most audacious murders in living memory.

Security camera footage shows a person dressed in gray who, after killing Thompson, gets on an e-bike and drives away. Bullet casings found at the crime scene were engraved with the words “deny,” “defend” and “isolate” — which some have speculated may refer to a book about the health care industry.

Now, police say they have gotten their hands on a notebook that belonged to Mangione. New York Times Reports That the notebook “included detailed plans for a shooting” and also “described going to a conference and killing an executive.” The Times report did not shed much light on the notebook’s other contents, stating that the lines shared were sent to the newspaper by two law enforcement officials.

However, a clear picture of Mangione’s personal politics has not yet emerged.
