Trolls bash tipster who helped catch Luigi Mangione, alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson

Some say you're a monster if you point out the attractiveness of 26-year-old Luigi Mangione -- aka the alleged UnitedHealthcare assassin. But as my Mug Shot Monday feature has demonstrated, I've always believed you can stalk and chew gum at the same time. 

The New York Post reports that "tasteless trolls" showered the Ivy League grad suspected of executing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City with compliments -- and even threatened the McDonald’s worker who helped catch the fugitive. 

The Internet erupted Monday after anti-capitalist Luigi Mangione was chomping on corporate fast-food in an Altoona, Pa., McDonald’s after an eagle-eye worker recognized him from surveillance footage of the alleged assassin. 

“To the stupid b–h that ratted out my baby Luigi Mangione…you will be dealt with,” wrote another, along with a violent "Family Guy” gif showing one character shooting someone in the head.

Users even rallied to boycott the fast-food chain in light of the arrest.

“Out of solidarity, I will be boycotting all McDonald’s in the area,” posted one user to the Reddit page of Altoona. “I would suggest you consider doing the same.” 

Thompson was shot dead leaving a hotel Wednesday and his killer has been on the lam since.

But Mangione -- a University of Pennsylvania grad with six-pack abs who was the 2016 valedictorian at the nearly $38,000-a-year all-boys Gilman School in Baltimore that prides itself on having educated future senators and governors -- had supporters back him despite his coldblooded crime as criticisms flew of the medical insurance industry. 

“The manhunt has now ended with investigators declaring ‘too hot to convict,'” wrote on X user.

Other supporters have allegedly set up GoFundMe accounts to raise money for Mangione’s legal fees, although the site has removed any such pages. 

Reddit also appears to be tamping down on support for the alleged assassin. The site banned an r/LuigiMangione community hours after it was created -- but not before the page racked up hundreds of subscribers. Netizens meanwhile have attacked the tipster who phoned police as a “snitch” and a “rat” with some users publicly threatening the unnamed worker.

McDonald's itself features prominently in the memes and jokes. “Bro, the McRib is back, that’s what took him down. No one can resist the return of the McRib,” quipped one user on Mangione’s Reddit page before it was banned.

Luigi Mangione once lived in Hawaii at Surfbreak, an upscale surfing collective. 

Turned on real TV for the first time in weeks and it's nonstop coverage.

Love the phonetic spelling of how Baltimoreans say their fair city!

I must admit that I've always been more of a Wendy's person -- except where McDonald's hash browns are concerned. Damian questions how Irish I really am when I don't eat any of the breakfast potatoes I'm served around town. But I think it's because they've been ruined for me by the Golden Arches! 

A reader notes: This is the cop who arrested him, and if that isn't an OnlyFans collab in the making, then by god I don't know what is.

Johnny Cockring: "If he's hot as shit, you must acquit!" 

I hope it's obvious that I don't believe that all -- but apparently another jury did of Daniel Penny.

But to those of you who have has thoughts about me and my ilk, I say this: Remind me to never sit next to you at a dinner party.
