    Well, good luck. /s

    The stupid bastards would have a hard time throwing a stone anywhere in any American city without hitting someone who’s been fucked over or had their family damaged/destroyed by an insurance company.

    Shouldn’t prosecutors care about forensics and laws, and not about the public’s mood?

      On paper they should care about the truth. Also on paper their KPIs usually involve conviction rates and numbers.

        This one is way too high profile to be about conviction rates. Also likely the big shots in the office that hound the people about conviction rates will take on the case themselves because they want to be on TV. And since they don’t normally do any work, they might fuck it all up, like what happened in the Alec Baldwin case.

      The only thing they give a shit about is sending a message that the privileged class is untouchable and not to be messed with. Look no further than how lax they’re treating the guy that popped those Minnesota congresspeople, the rich are in a different league and must be revered as such.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The tv talking heads, with such class, were frothing at the mouth with excitement about Luigi getting beat up and or raped in jail.

    Turns out the average person fucking loves the guy and what he stands for, prisoners doubly so.

    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.

    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!
