What is going on with Luigi Mangione?

https://lemmy.zip/post/43761525

Signor Luigi. Señor Luis.
His name was Brian Unitedhealthcare, right?
I thought his name was John Forprofithealthinsurancecorporation
I’m fairly certain he’s still at large.
The media understands that giving him any exposure will make people think about his motives, and might generate similar acts from others. The best strategy to keep people from “looking up” instead of looking left/right is to not expose anyone to the idea.
With that strategy, it makes you wonder why they relentlessly cover school shootings. (It could also be that they keep happening, and it’s actually different every time)

Speaking of media coverage, notice how when an AR-15 is used they always state so, usually in the headline. A shooting with any other gun? Nah.

Remember the vet who went nuts in Maine and murdered a bunch of people? I had to dig to find what weapon he used. It was an AR-10. Know what an AR-10 is? Most folks have never heard of one. (It’s basically an AR-15.)

Now why in the world would our billionaire media owners want to turn our opinion against the best multipurpose rifle in the world?

Anyway, what was the original post about?

Oh buddy, hold on! You’re about to get nuked for saying something positive about guns!
Armalites have always been garbage. Get an ak
Because school shootings are us fighting each other and not the rich.
They glorify mass shootings to perpetuate more mass shootings. There are many mass shooters who cite other mass shooters as their reason to do a mass shootings. A lot of independent groups no longer show names or say the name of the perpetrator, only their victims, as a result of that trend.
it took them over a month to reorient the right wingers against luigi. also reddit was silencing the news early on around the time he got caught.

Nothing's happened, that's why. His next court date is:

Tuesday, 9/16, 9 a.m.: People v. Mangione (NY State), 100 Centre Street, Part 32, New York, NY 10013

I know it’s just how the courts work but how can it be the people vs him when the people seem to support him. The state vs maybe.
People on Lemmy, sure. But talk to your boomer neighbors and they’ll all say he’s a terrorist.
they all got redirected by the MSMs. there is big support him on other social media, but onl boomers and Xers watch cnn and fox, so they are against him.
because alleged criminals are prosecuted by the State on behalf of the People. Public opinion doesn’t really factor into it.
lol “people vs mangione” more like people & mangione vs the corrupt & evil
magione’s people vs STATE OF NEW YORK

Law enforcement vs Mangione.

The people want him freed. 🖕

Wealthy* People v. Mangione

FTFY

Nobody really cares about the guy who died, despite corporate media insisting on our sympathy for months. They figured out we can’t be fucked about the sorry sonofabitch, so they’re hoping we forget about the whole business while trying to censor talk of LM off of all major social media platforms. Sure does help that so much news and social media are owned by the same fuckers.
Corporations already forgot about the dead CEO shortly after they replaced him and the new guy presided over stock value decreases and lowered forecasts. The only people that care now is the press looking to generate views with sensational news and district attorneys or AG’s trying to please their wealthy overlords for reelection.
the head ceo witty and hemsely sure dint care either.
I’m still not sold that LM is the real perp tbh, it’s too tidy. Also his manifesto looked like it was written in about five minutes.
I care. I’m glad he’s dead.

I don’t watch mainstream media, but Status Coup News does follow his case and updates when something happens.

From what I understand, lawyers found a major issue with how he was apprehended. Apparently he wasn’t read his rights before they started taking action, so a fair bit of evidence they have against him may need to be thrown out.

Also they decided to pursue the death penalty way too fast, among other injustices.

Issues with the way he was apprehended? I am just shocked.
Are you able to extrapolate a little more, that sounds interesting
i heard about that early on in dec too.

There is a general lack of body-cam footage to back up the cops follwing procedures and the timing of evidence being collected is suspect at best.

Overall, there are enough holes in the narrative that was reported to the media that luigi being a scapegoat is not an unreasonable stance.

All the info I get is from Status Coup. I don’t want to paraphrase anything incorrectly so here’s one report on it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSrqt7rKqqg

Can search Luigi on their channel for the coverage they’ve done. There’s a lot.

Luigi Mangione Lawyer's EXPLOSIVE Allegations: Cops ILLEGALLY Detained Him, Searched Without Warrant

YouTube
I still don’t think it’s even Luigi that did it. Looks nothing like the guy from the video
Im not even sure I trust that video. It has artifacts that make it look doctored to me.

Classic oligarchs, pinning their crimes on the underprivileged…

Rich white males from prestigious families? Hang on, wait a minute.

That's a fair point but it is the state' job to prove their case to throw a jury and their dragging feet and doing fucky shit. After spending a month or two litigating the case in media.

They acted like it was a proven fact that he did it... They gonna need to convince the public now beyond chain of trust me bros

TBF there is a lot of evidence against him, such as his social media history, book reviews about how “protesting doesn’t work”, the murder weapon and bag full of $20k, complete lack of alibi, and his traveling in the opposite direction of the crime discreetly by hopping bus to bus.

That's circumstantial

Also, the conviction starter pack backpack is likely tainted and or planted.

We don't if has a alibi as of now

Finally, the state has to prove that he actually did the job.

Planted or otherwise the evidence against him is overwhelming.

You drinking too much koolaid that government was selling on fake news.

Since when people around here started trusting police and government lol

So to clarify your stance is that

A) The supposed evidence against him doesn’t exist, its fake news

B) The evidence was clearly planted

“Planted or otherwise?” Lol if it’s planted, it’s NOT EVIDENCE bro, literally wtf
Thats for the court to decide, not you.
Do you even understand the concept? “Planted” means someone put it there. What color is the sky where you live?
Whether its planted or not there is a STAGGERING amount of evidence against him. It’s a really big amount. Weegee is going away, bruv.
I kind of don’t care or want to know. I was enjoying the absence of discussion of his nonimpact.
I’ll say the same thing when you get falsely busted for stealing a pack of doritos with questionable evidence

Nice Mao Zedong / John Cena profile pic, is that satire or praise?

If I can’t provide an allibi for the great dorito heist of 2026 and they find the dorritos in my possession then I guess thats the end of it, don’t try to martyr me to a bunch of lawless assholes.

Apparently there was some impact or else this post would not have received an upvote. Perhaps you have other things on your mind. That is completely ok. Btw, by commenting you kinda outed yourself as someone that does care. At lest to some degree.

Yeh I care that this is taking up space in the feed, not about whats happening to Luigi. At the height of this stupid Luigi bullshit he took up like half the top voted posts of the day, and despite his popularity in these circles I’m extremely skeptical that those numbers are organic.

Congrats on starting a murder cult, great impact.

Awwww, you do care.
cringe
“Cringe”. Lmfao. Bot think it has feelings.
Like I’m starting a murder cult? That is rich. You are a bot & I’m done. When it comes to an idiot contest you have me beat. You got the W here.

YoU’rE a BOt aND I’m dOnE

Nice comeback bro

Great. You’re done. I guess I got the W here. I’d rather see 100 dead CEO’s ANYDAY than millions of vulnerable fellow people in my country be denied basic health for a goddamn bottom line. If you are this unhappy yet motivated, I recommend suicide or seeking professional mental help if you are fortunate enough to find it. Good luck, fuck right off, take it east & remember who got the W here. That would be me. I just know you are going to read this and get angrier. Again that is ME w/ the WIN!🏅
lmao he failed to parse the mockery
I will not deny my failure on many fronts.
You assume I’m a he. Now I know one more thing about you.
So you do care. According to your comments you have had a busy time the past 10 months since joining. This is nuts. Probably last of my comments or posts. I have a summer to enjoy. Gonna Bbq, go boating, have backyard fires with friends & so forth. It was really nice meeting you.😉. Cheers 🍻 matey!
