    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.

      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.

  • 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 😘

    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.

      “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.

        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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

    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!

    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.

    They’re gonna a have to try harder lol

    Altho isn’t influencing public opinion not part of a prosecutors mission?

    Seems like the prosecution isn’t doing their job like they’re supposed to

    Also the police

    And the mayor

    Also that dead CEO guy. He had a job to do. He did it wrong and paid himself instead of paying for people’s health insurance.

    That’s why he’s dead

    That’s also why they need to “convince” people he’s bad.

    Because what he’s accused of doing is extremely popular.

      Influencing public opinion is not part of a prosecution’s mission. Their mission is to seek justice and win in court. (Edit: contrary to below, it’s supposed to be overall about justice, which is why prosecutors have discretion to not try cases and have other roles like support of victims)

      Trying to influence the public is actually BAD for prosecutors since it can bias a jury pool and cause a court to grant a change of venue.

        We don’t have a “justice” system. We have a “legal” system. Prosecutors only seek wins (at any cost) - not justice.

          That’s generous. I’d go with “penal” system, because they only care about taking and punishing. No justice without reform, rehab, and introspection.

          pretty much why people hate jury duty, they bias the JD people against either side(stronger on one side if one side have a pretty weak case), and they only pick the ones that dont know how to talk thier way out of JD, additionally people already incensed of being out of work, and have to work with the courts that are biased against poor people and POCs. also they treat jurors like shit anyways, pay them next to nothing per day for being a juror, let alone they for jurors to wait days or hours for being selected too.
