Luigi Mangione shouts a message to the American people on his way to court:

“This is completely unjust and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience.”

    The “3D printed gun” trope was taken back I think. They now claim that he only 3D printed the silencer. Some gun lobbyist probably donated a wad of cash.

      It’s shit like this that reminds me how stupid cops are…

      You can’t “3d print a silencer” it would just explode from the pressure.

        I still remember when they tried to claim a plastic bag seen on footage of Rittenhouse was a “makeshift molotov cocktail”

        1. A Molotov Cocktail is already a makeshift weapon, that’s the point, the poor will always have access to alcohol and fire so it’s the one weapon the state cannot take from you.

        2. A plastic bag would make for a terrible molotov considering it can’t be thrown far and would just burn up in your hands if you tried.

          Gasoline melts plastic and would eat thru the bag…

      That wasn’t a 3D printed silencer in the video.

      If it was, that material is way stronger than anything I’ve worked with.
