Moments after Luigi Mangione was handcuffed at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, a police officer searching his backpack found a loaded gun magazine wrapped in a pair of underwear.

The discovery, recounted in court Monday as Mangione fights to keep evidence out of his New York murder case, convinced police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that he was the man wanted in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan five days earlier.

    FROM the point of view of a state? Yes. Why is this so hard to understand?

    From the eyes of a neighborhood? No. clearly not. But justice in a neighborhood is different, isn’t it? And when a state fails, a neighborhood is known to take justice into its own hands. cf: Rodney King, etc.

    maybe this is why states shouldn’t exist? ;)
