Luigi Mangione's shackled ankles in court
Luigi Mangione's shackled ankles in court
Agnifilo argues against this decision. He is a model prisoner
The way the clothes they wear are flying off the shelves, and Luigi’s outstanding photogenic quality, you bet they’re a model prisoner.
I don’t know Luigi’s gender for certain, nor is it relevant to my statement. Neutrality is appropriate.
Furthermore, I personally disapprove of gendered language in general. It’s pointless. I can’t think of one reason to keep that archaic tradition.
All just ammo for the appeal.
The shooter calmly walked away, and Luigi was arrested calmly in a McDonald’s.
At no stage was there some crazy escape or shootout where something like this would be warranted in court, and things like this have been argued to have influenced potential jury members in past cases.
Like, it’s one straw on a giant pile of better examples so far, but it all adds up. They’re gonna OJ this shit and go so hard it ends in a mistrial or something crazy.
Especially since the trial is going to be a media circus and Trump won’t be able to keep his nose out of it, it’ll kill him that he won’t be the main attraction.
He’s a patriot, what higher truth can you speak to power than the great equalizer, a cheaply produced firearm?
He’s a hero, they’ll make a martyr of him, we’ll make sure his name is remembered and other disaffected, isolated men at the end of their chains can have a new target. Instead of school children it can be someone more appropriate. What good is having power and privilege if you have to look over your shoulder while you’re at the lake? What good is a yearly bonus if you have to pay it all to private security to protect your families lives?
We have far less to lose than they do, I can (hypothetically) only die once but with a little luck I can extract a very high price from a rent-seeking leech before I do.
Oh, that 100% tracks from that rag. By comparison, a similar article from NPR was a lot more careful about it, e.g. “Mangione has received widespread public support, despite state and federal officials discouraging it.” Good lesson in identifying bias.
NPR even had the message Luigi sent out thanking his supporters, which I think is nice.
So our options are becoming:
Toil for 70 years until you’re forced to liquidate everything you have to move into a shitty retirement home or become a burden on any children you may’ve had.
Drop out of society and refuse to cooperate, facing all the consequences that entails.
Complete a single task that promises 3 meals per day, climate controlled shelter, basic healthcare and the adoration of fans across the country?
Seems like they’re making the choice easy for a lot of people.
Im getting eldorado vibes
