"It had to be done," says document found on person of interest
From CNN's John Miller
Among the lines in the two-page document found on "strong person of interest" Luigi Mangione are the following two quotes: "These parasites had it coming" and "I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done," a police official who has seen the document told CNN.
In the note, Mangione says he acted alone and that he was self-funded.
The document railed against the health care industry and suggested violence is the answer, according to the official.

On what appears to be Mangione's GoodReads account, the 26-year-old reviewed the Unabomber's book, giving it four stars out of five.
In his lengthy review, Magnione described Ted Kaczynski's "In Industrial Society and Its Future" as a book "clearly written by a mathematics prodigy" adding that it "reads like a series of lemmas on the question of 21st century quality of life."
"It's easy to quickly and thoughtless write this off as the manifesto of a lunatic, in order to avoid facing some of the uncomfortable problems it identifies" the review reads. "But it's simply impossible to ignore how prescient many of his predictions about modern society turned out."
He adds: "He was a violent individual - rightfully imprisoned - who maimed innocent people. While these actions tend to be characterized as those of a crazy luddite, however, they are more accurately seen as those of an extreme political revolutionary."
Later in the review, he states:
These companies don't care about you, or your kids, or your grandkids. They have zero qualms about burning down the planet for a buck, so why should we have any qualms about burning them down to survive?
We're animals just like everything else on this planet, except we've forgotten the law of the jungle and bend over for our overlords when any other animal would recognize the threat and fight to the death for their survival. "Violence never solved anything" is a statement uttered by cowards and predators.
