Trolls make sick Luigi Mangione-inspired memes about Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner who was killed in NYC shooting
A photo of LePatner with the phrase 'LUIGI'D' stamped in red across the face of the former senior managing director of Blackstone circulated on the internet following the shooting spree at 345 Park Ave. on Monday.
'Wesley LePatner, CEO of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, has been evicted from the mortal plane,' read the tasteless post shared on Facebook to thousands of likes.
The dreadful post referenced the infamous Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of Midtown Manhattan in a targeted assassination on Dec. 4.
Mangione has become a cult-figure in some gutter-minded circles, which valorize the alleged assassin as a courageous critic of the healthcare industry.
Other dirtbag leftists posted the phrase 'CEO DOWN' and openly mocked the mourning of the mother of two who was killed with an M4 carbine while leaving work during rush-hour Monday.
LePatner, 46, was a senior managing director and the CEO of Blackstone's Real Estate Income Trust —- a $53 billion portfolio, according to Bloomberg.
'We cannot properly express the grief we feel upon the sudden and tragic loss of Wesley,' her family said in a statement Tuesday.
'She was the most loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and relative, who enriched our lives in every way imaginable.'
The company further memorialized the loss of its valuable employee.
'Words cannot express the devastation we feel. Wesley was a beloved member of the Blackstone family and will be sorely missed,' Blackstone said in a statement to The Post.
LePatner was one of four people killed in the office tower shooting spree on Monday.
Shane Tamura, 27, also allegedly killed NYPD police officer Didarul Islam, Rudin Management employee Julia Hyman, and security guard Aland Etienne before turning the gun on himself on the 33rd floor of the skyscraper.

'Football gave me CTE': New York gunman blamed NFL for his brain injuries
A man who gunned down four people, then killed himself in a Manhattan skyscraper may have targeted the American football league because he blamed it for brain injuries he claimed he suffered, Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday. Information that the killer carried in a note referring to the degenerative brain disease CTE offered a possible motive for the Tuesday shootings at offices used by the National Football League, among others. A source confirmed that in a three-page handwritten note found in the gunman's wallet, he wrote, "Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Study my brain please. I'm sorry." "Football gave me CTE and it cause me to drink a gallon of antifreeze. You can't go against the NFL. They'll squash you." The suspected shooter, identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura, went on to ask that his brain be studied for CTE, and alleged that the league "knowingly concealed the dangers to our brains to maximise profits." Armed with a semi-automatic rifle, the attacker shot a police officer outside the tower on Park Avenue, then opened fire in the lobby before trying to access the NFL's offices. Tamura had never actually played for the top professional league, Adams said, though he was reportedly a star player in high school in California. The bloodshed sparked a massive police response in the teeming centre of the city — not far from where a man with a grievance against UnitedHealthcare gunned down the medical insurance company's CEO last December. New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told a news conference that Tamura had a history of mental health issues. President Donald Trump on Tuesday called the mass shooting a "senseless act of violence" carried out by a "lunatic."

‘Pure evil came to our city': Gunman kills four people in New York City
Four people, including a police officer, were killed and one was critically injured after a gunman opened fire in an office building in New York City. The gunman, a 27-year-old Las Vegas man, is suspected of targeting the NFL after a suicide note was reportedly found on him. The high-rise building houses the office of the NFL, where one of their employees was seriously injured in the attack. Officials say the gunman walked into the building carrying an M4 assault rifle and opened fire in the lobby and on the 33rd floor. The suspect had a concealed carry license and no significant criminal record, but is reported to have had a mental health history.
