Luigi did it at a good time. Millions are about to lose their healthcare. I don't want to wish ill on anyone, but if some of those people on the jury lose their healthcare, that would be a good thing for Luigi. No way they'd hang him out to dry if they lost their healthcare.

Just insert "allegedly" next time ;)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

They're trying so hard to make him look like the bad guy and the corrupt af CEO the good guy but I'm not having it lol

Luigi isn't even my type but I have to admit he's pretty fine 😘

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Love him. How many guys wanna touch dicks with this dude? ;)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

I don't swing that way, that said, that fucking smile... <3

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Good luck with that. You should show me video from 20 different angles irrefutably proving him the assailant and I’d still hang that jury with my not guilty.

Any real American should do the same.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

And they certainly don't have that. All they have is an image of him checking into a nearby hostel and an image from the scene that is clearly another guy.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

"Good luck with that" was exactly what I said in my head when I read that headline. Talk about toothpaste out of a tube, huh?

And yeah, I don't care what anyone says, I got reasonable doubt out the wazoo. That video doesn't identify him, and any other evidence has been handled by some of the most corrupt government forces that have ever existed, so I'm not considering any of that to be valid.

Bottom line, there's no evidence, I got reasonable doubt, Not Guilty.

And alternatively, if somehow they could pin it on him hard, he was acting in defense of others by killing an active corporate serial killer who was responsible for suffering and deaths of millions, and would be the cause of suffering and death for millions more. He did society a favor, and deserves the Medal of Freedom.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I agree with you 100%, but I want to be clear.

Luigi could meld his mind with mine, providing 100% absolute clarity that he did it, and I’d still vote not guilty.

Because no person died - all we lost was a vile monster who knowingly refused health care not just from the needy, _but the needy who had already paid for it_.

The killer (whoever they are) did humanity a favor, they deserve a holiday.

Jokes on them, I only read Luigi articles to fawn over the pictures

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

I don’t understand the pageantry behind all this. We all know this will end one of two ways. Either he’s found guilty and killed, or he’s set free and the powerful have him killed anyway.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Sucks this guy sits in a jail cell for a crime he didn't commit. I keep trying to tell people that Luigi Mangione was fishing with me and my roommate that day, but nobody listens.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

No he couldn't have been. He was at a sex party with me in Oakland. Weird to have a straight guy there, but someone insisted. Had a thing for smarmy Italians, so I couldn't really object.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's strange, I was out with him having a meal that day when he supposedly was doing the thing he's accused of... Certainly you must be thinking of a different day...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

This might be a time zone thing. So you were out with him at about 5 right? But I was out with him at about 5, Pacific.

Were you in Asia?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Southeast antarctic circle actually, way too far from New York to be able to do anything even slightly icky.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Well I'm sure he had a wonderful time.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That has been a constant factor from the beginning. They were issuing warnings about him being "armed and dangerous". Meanwhile social media was laughing at the cops, saying they had nothing to fear, with many saying they would help shelter him if given the option. They set him up with a dozen heavily armed cops bullet resistant gear, etc. for transport and within the same week there were multiple murderers being escorted by just two cops casually walking.

The media, the cops and the prosecution has been trying to paint him as a violent and dangerous criminal. Meanwhile the only people with something to fear, are the very wealthy and cops.

Luigi Mangione confirmed to me there really is a loosely organized cabal of extremely rich people keeping the flow of information under control.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Not even loosely organized. The NYC police commissioner (Tom Selleck's role in Blue Bloods) is an heiress to the Tisch fortune (Loews Corp), including NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, Tisch Hospital, and 50% ownership of the NY Giants.

The Sociopathic Oligarchs have a representative on the front line of this prosecution. They are maintaining control of this from the top.

I didn't think it was this coordinated before the healing of that Brian Thompson shaped wound in the world.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The GOP has been projecting about Soros and billionaires controlling the media for years.

"This is extremely dangerous to our demoracy."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

They have. I'm not saying I don't feel a bit silly.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago

No, no, don't pay any attention to the company behind the curtain. They certainly didn't send a bunch of their trusting customers and or their family members to the grave. No, no, it's completely inconsequential to the case.

This hell spawn shot that poor innocent oligarch, er um, family man, complicating his trust fund err...

I said don't look behind the curtain!

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well they wouldn’t do their job if they didn’t

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

I don't think undermining the right to a fair trial is the prosecutor's job. And public opinion shouldn't matter in a court of law.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

its biasing us for Luigi, the more they try to do that the more attention they bring, which is why they mostly stopped reporting him in the news.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

If that's their defence then he's the old english term "Fucked."

[–] [email protected] 42 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I've yet to see any proof Luigi was in New York that day. How has the prosecution not released photos of him leaving central park by now? It's basically impossible to get into or out of the park without cross at least one camera path. Unless of course, they know he didn't do it but fucked up their investigation so bad they'll never find the real shooter and just pinning it on some patsy they already had on a watch list.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If he was in PA in a MCDs how can he be in NYC at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well lets stick to facts. He was arrested at McDs 3 days after the murder.

However, nothing of what he supposedly had in his possession makes sense, especial with the revelation his bag was searched illegally off camera before they finally turned on a body cam to search it.

MO doesn't make sense that he would go through efforts to hide his identity in New York and ditch clothing backpack but keep the fake IDs, gun and manifesto saying everything cops would want to hear on his person 3 days later.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

He was in PA at McDonald's during the time of the murder. I was there! I saw it!
