Local Communities Challenge Michigan Renewable Energy Siting LawLuigi Mangione's friends and family members are stunned that the 26-year-old Ivy League grad is the suspected shooter of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson . A handful of Mangione's friends have spoken to the media about him following his arrest on Monday and subsequent murder charge, saying the Mangione they knew was a smart, quiet intellectual who struggled with back pain after a 2023 spinal surgery . In their first and only statement at the time of publication, Mangione's family said Tuesday, "Unfortunately, we cannot comment on news reports regarding Luigi Mangione . We only know what we have read in the media." The statement, released by Mangione's cousin, Maryland lawmaker Nino Mangione , continued. "Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi's arrest. We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved. We are devastated by this news." Former Classmate of Mangione Speaks to Newsweek Luigi Mangione's academic prowess was not lost on his former peers at the all-boys Gilman School in Baltimore, Maryland, a former classmate told Newsweek on Tuesday evening. The ex-student, who requested anonymity due to the ongoing circumstances, said that the boys of the 2016 graduating class were tight-knit and well-acquainted with each others' families. "Granted, it was a pretty long time ago, but Luigi was a really social kid," said the ex-classmate. "A really nice guy. Highly intelligent. I mean, he was, as everybody knows, our class valedictorian. Extremely, extremely intelligent. "So, it definitely caused a surprise, considering what he did. I definitely would have never seen that coming or anything of that nature." When word spread about Mangione and his arrest for allegedly killing Thompson, it sparked discussions and old memories among former Gilman attendees. While the ex-student told Newsweek that he and Mangione went their separate ways after high school, they still followed each other on social media. He added that Gilman instilled values including honor, integrity, excellence, and respect. "You could be seeing everything on social media, Twitter , Instagram , all that type of stuff," he said. "And it's all Luigi, whether it's a meme, whether it's a threat on Twitter, things like that. It's definitely weird stuff, a little surreal. "Regarding conversation with classmates or former classmates, we definitely all pretty much share that same sentiment. None of us had anything they didn't like about Luigi, like in terms of memories or personality. He was always, like I said, a really social guy. Really smart. Really, really smart. Pretty much got along with everybody. It's a really weird situation to be in." Hawaii Roommate Says Dating Wasn't Possible Mangione spent six months in 2022 living at Surfbreak, a Honolulu-based co-living space for remote workers, where he was among the first 20 residents paying $2,000 per month. Surfbreak's founder, R.J. Martin, described Mangione as an ideal community member who was upbeat and eager to give back. Martin told The New York Times that Mangione experienced frequent back pain. "His spine was kind of misaligned," Martin said. "He said his lower vertebrae were almost like a half-inch off, and I think it pinched a nerve." Due to the pain, Martin added that Mangione "knew that dating and being physically intimate with his back condition wasn't possible." Mangione left Hawaii and received spinal surgery in 2023. Martin said Mangione texted him photos of the back surgery. The friends exchanged sporadic texts over subsequent months but never saw each other in person after that. More Friends Speak to New York Times, NPR Two more of Mangione's friends spoke to The New York Times about their experiences with the suspected shooter. Aaron Cranston became friends with Mangione at Gilman High School, where Mangione was valedictorian. Cranston told The Times that Mangione was perhaps one of the brightest students at the elite private school. "He was a big believer in the power of technology to change the world," Cranston said of Mangione, noting Mangione was social, friendly, and never particularly political. Martin said that Mangione created a mobile app before attending college where users could fly a paper airplane through obstacles. Freddie Leatherbury also attended Gilman with Mangione. They were soccer, track, and cross-country teammates. "Those are both such disciplined sports. It says a lot about who he was as a student," Leatherbury told The Times . "He was very smart, a pretty big math guy, really well-read and quite well-liked, to be honest. I don't have any bad memories of him. He had a very healthy social circle." Leathebury also spoke to NPR, saying while he didn't stay close to Mangione, he knew he was having back problems. "In the last couple of years, Mangione was living in Hawaii, and the people there I talked to say that his back pain kept him from surfing, hiking, and generally enjoying life as a 20-something there," Leathebury said. "It also seems that Mangione was spending a lot of time online and following influencers who are big on masculinity-focused self-help advice. He followed libertarian and right-wing influencers like Joe Rogan and a fitness guru who gave advice about, for example, getting a gym membership instead of taking antidepressants. "And then, in the last year or so, things started to take a more disturbing tone. Mangione even left an online comment that praised the writing of Theodore Kaczynski, the domestic terrorist also known as the Unabomber," Leathebury said. "He had everything going for him," Martin said of Mangione. "And on top of that, he was well-adjusted socially. He had a lot of friends in a lot of different circles." Mangione Reported Missing Before Arrest Two weeks before Thompson's death, Mangione's mother, Kathleen Mangione, reported her son missing to the San Francisco Police Department. Luigi Mangione's family hadn't been in contact with him in six months, officials said. He also reportedly went dark on social media over the summer despite previously posting photos of his travels and documenting his reading habits on Goodreads. Concerns grew on social media in October after Mangione suddenly stopped communicating. One user on X tagged him, stating, "Nobody has heard from you in months, and apparently your family is looking for you," as well as "I don't know if you are okay." Other X users tweeted at Mangione's, with one mentioning unfulfilled commitments to help with their wedding, and another who expressed support, saying, "Know you are missed and loved," according to multiple outlets.

Fort Worth council to vote on economic incentives for Bell manufacturing plant, Ariat expansionNone

Jim Rossman | Tribune News Service Cord cutting used to refer to abandoning pay TV and putting up an antenna to watch free over-the-air TV. Then cord cutting expanded to include streaming services like Netflix and Hulu and individual streaming sources. Now we also include streaming bundles, like YouTube TV or Hulu Live or DirecTV Stream. These bundled services mimic cable and satellite service, in that they have hundreds of channels. The ease or complexity of the cord cutting experience depends on how you have things set up. Let’s take a look at some gift options for your favorite cord cutter. As far as I know DirecTV is the only streaming bundle service that offers its own hardware. The Gemini Air is a small dongle that plugs into an HDMI port on your TV. It is paired with a remote control to allow for easy navigation. If you were an AT&T U-Verse TV customer, the Gemini Air/DirecTV Stream experience will be very familiar. The Gemini Air is a rarity in that it has number buttons. DirecTV Stream has the option of turning on channel numbers in the guide. I’ve used DirecTV Stream with my Roku TV and with the Gemini Air and the Air makes navigating the huge list of channels much easier. The Gemini Air runs the Google operating system, so you can see and use all your other streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Max and more. You can also load apps and games from the Google Play store. The Gemini Air connects to your home’s Wi-Fi network, and it can stream 4K content to your TV. The remote control has a microphone so you can use your voice to search or interact with Hey Google’s voice assistant. DirecTV Stream customers can get a free Gemini Air from AT&T with their service. Additional units are available for $120. There are lots of smart TV brands. Some run on the Roku operating system, some run Google TV and some use their own brand of smart TV apps. If you’d like to add Google TV to any set, you can get Google’s new TV Streamer (4K) for just $99 from store.google.com. The small device connects to your TV’s HDMI port. It also can connect to your home’s internet via Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet connection. The Google TV interface is not tied to any specific streaming service. You can use any streaming service or app that’s available on the Google Play store. It features a simple remote with voice control and the Google TV Streamer is also a hub and controller for Matter and Thread home devices that work with Google’s home ecosystem. If you use an over-the-air antenna for watching your free local channels, I’m betting you’d like the option to record those channels. TiVo used to be the best/easiest way to record OTA TV, but they’ve discontinued their OTA recorders. A great alternative is from TabloTV, which is a small box that you connect to your TV antenna. The TabloTV does not directly connect to your TV. Instead it connects to your home’s Wi-Fi, and the antenna signal is wirelessly sent to any TV or compatible device in your home. Your TV picks up the signal through a free app, which is compatible with smart TV brands like Samsung, LG, Google TV, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV or Android TV. This method is extremely handy if you don’t want to be bothered running an antenna wire from your attic or roof all the way to your TV. It’s also great if you want to use an indoor antenna, but your TV is not situated in a room that faces the broadcast towers. You can place the antenna and TabloTV where you get the best reception. The TabloTV comes in two models – with either two or four tuners. This means you can record or watch two or four shows at a time. TabloTV has onboard storage to record up to 50 hours of shows, but you can plug in any USB hard drive and expand to record thousands of hours of programming. You can also bundle a TabloTV with an OTA antenna if you like, or you can use your own antenna. Two things to know, there are no ongoing subscription costs for guide data, and there is no streaming service integration. You will need another way to add in streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. TabloTV models start at $99.95 for the two tuner model at tablotv.com. The four-tuner model is $139.95, but they may be on sale during the holidays. ©2024 Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
