Luigi Mangione Body Language: Luigi Mangione’s raised chin shows he’s arrogant: Expert decodes body language

Body language expert said Luigi Mangione has an air of pompusness about him.

Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old, Ivy League grad, arrested in connection with the cold-blooded murder of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, is arrogant and has a sense of pompousness, body language expert Susan Constantine said decoding Mangione’s appearance in the courthouse and also in the mug shots. Constantine told Fox News that Mangione showed a “rigidity” that indicated he was fearful.
In all his photos, Mangione’s chin is held high and he looks down his nose at his surroundings, the experts said adding, “Keep in mind what we’re dealing with – a person who has been wronged in his own mind in some sort of way… We don’t know yet exactly all the reasons why,” she said. “We also know he’s adopted some sort of radical belief system, and he also feels that he is the one that needs to act.”
“Remember I told you that chin is up – when we see the chin up, we can see the Adam’s apple pop out… the Adam’s apple pops up…his nose pops up in the air,” she said. “All of this is pride and arrogance and pompousness – militant and prideful.”
His expression in the post-arrest photos is very different from the smiling photo that NYPD released from surveillance in one of which he was seen smiling, the expert added.
“This was not the sinister killing [face] – this was him, his charismatic personality, his flirty personality, the one that everybody and his friends and family are all talking about,” Constantine said. “He’s a great guy. They like him. He’s, you know, engaging and he’s, you know, speaks in front of the public and doesn’t have any fear about it. That’s his personality.”
“These types of killers disassociate – it’s called cubing,” Constantine continued. “So when they’re in active pursuit, there is one personality. And then when he’s in relationships, he has another one… he’s able to disassociate from what is the sinister thoughts and ideas and radicalism that’s actually flooding through his mind.
“All of a sudden, that smile turned to a frown [during his perp walk] – the lifted cheeks turn into droopy cheeks. And then he had a more rigid and more tension in his facial expression that was dissimilar to what we have seen in the past. So this was a game over expression.”
Constantine said Mangione’s body language was not startled during the shooting because he rehearsed that; he was very much in control because he knew what to do. But he did not expect to be apprehended by police.
