The attack on the 50-year-old executive—allegedly by the now 27-year-old Luigi Mangione—immediately sparked an outpouring of public fury not at the gunman, but at UnitedHealthcare itself.

Is he wearing a bulletproof west in that picture?

Yes. They've vested him up and assigned an excessive guard detail during transport, I assume for the sake of theater.

That vest is absolutely not bullet proof. That's a shank vest. It can stop knives and small arms, but any larger firearm would go right through it. It's the type of vest you wear under your clothes for some protection. They're clearly using it for theater.
