KingBullets in Luigi Mangione’s bag convinced police that he was UnitedHealthcare CEO killing suspect
prole
driving_croonerNo way to know if those bullets and other objects on the bag were there or were planted by the cops.
nocturne“No, I am Spartacus!”
Not only did they search the bag without a warrant…
Wasser resumed her search after an 11-minute drive to the police station and almost immediately found the gun and silencer — the latter discovery prompting her to laugh and exclaim “nice,” according to body-worn camera footage. Wasser said the gun was in a side pocket that she hadn’t searched at McDonald’s.
She had the bag in her car for over ten minutes, with not witnesses or video, and then after resuming the incomplete search almost immediately found the gun and silencer. My read is that there is every possibility that the gun and silencer could have been placed in the bag during that transport.
An officer concerned about a bomb accidentally being brought to the police station (again) would hardly forget to look in the bag’s side pockets. Nor is it reasonable to suggest that they could overlook a gun and silencer in the initial search of the bag.
I remember OJ Simpson getting off a double-murder because there was a remote possibility that someone (actually several hundred people) orchestrated a conspiracy to plant evidence.
He stabbed two people to death and there was DNA evidence tying him to the crime scene.
Not remote, they did. Police corruption let him off. If they let the evidence do its job there was enough to convict.
No. OJ got off because the jury wanted retribution for the Martin Luther King trail. People on the the OJ Simpson jury flat out admitted it was retribution for Martin Luther King. There is a documentary about it somewhere… or video at least of jury members admitting it.
Im not doing the leg work, sorry.
The D QuuuuuillMartin Luther King Jr doesn’t have any famous trial losses to his name, are you thinking of Rodney King, who was also in LA and whose trial was contemporary?
There are users in here who are utterly confused, look at the other replies. I know the 90’s were now over 3 decades ago but it’s all completely searchable. There are multiple documentaries. I don’t know how people confuse Rodney King, Martin Luther King and the OJ Simpson case all in one thread. Astonishing.
it has an uncomfortable “i can’t tell the difference between Black people” vibe. i don’t mind people not remembering the 90s. i do mind people not double checking the broad details real quick
It’s mind blowing particularly to an Oldy McOldface like myself who was there and lived through the events.
same here. i was just little when the police brutalized Rodney King. but i still remember my white neighbors being incensed about how while that was wrong, the LA riots were completely unjustified. meanwhile my Black neighbors all tried to explain that a riot is not the result of a single event and that the LA riots were the response to decades and even centuries of mistreatment
Rodney King had direct bearing on the OJ trial. Jurors admitted they acquitted OJ as “payback” for King
yeah which was a key in that this was who this poster meant
Wasn’t the official story such that a search at the scene of arrest found nothing, but suddenly the gun was found on search once the bag was in police custody in a second location? It’s hard to keep track of the truth in 2025.
After an 11-minute car ride with no video. Suddenly, there’s a gun in the side pocket, one that was conveniently overlooked before.
Ooh, real believable NYPD. Fucking pigs.
Yes, they illegally searched his bag “because they wanted to make sure there wasn’t a bomb in it”, while in the middle of a full restaurant, and found no weapon.
It only appeared after they moved it to a second location.

BigFig“A loaded gun magazine” aka just a magazine, you don’t describe a magazine as loaded. They just wanted to use the word loaded to make it seem more dangerous so the jury sees him as violent
Magazines are actually empty by default
A box is empty by default. A magazine being filled with ammo is not any way a danger. If I put a filled magazine in the same room as my puppy, nothing is going to happen minus a potential choking hazard if they manage to remove a bullet.
A filled magazine is not a danger and should not be described as “loaded” the same way a “loaded” firearm is an actual present danger.
What are you talking about, that’s absolutely how you describe a magazine. You load rounds into a magazine, ergo a magazine with rounds in it has been loaded. I suppose the more common thing to say is “pass me a fresh mag” but something like, for example: “woah hey that’s loaded” when referring to a magazine someone is carelessly handling would be completely normal thing to say.
Also, filled magazines absolutely are hazardous, and in the same exact ways as a loaded firearm - mishandling could lead to premature detonation of a round. Neither a gun nor a magazine is going to cause harm just by sitting undisturbed, but the part of the gun that’s filled with explosives is absolutely the most dangerous individual component of a firearm and should be treated with the same degree of respect as a loaded weapon.

ZorsithYeah sure, lemme just carry around an empty magazine and a box of ammo, then load the magazine. I’m sure whatever i have the gun for will patiently wait for me to load one bullet at a time, then load the gun.
We can’t trust any ‘evidence’ cops find because they have an extensive history of planting it.
And days after? Makes no sense.

super_user_doThats impossible bro we were playing Civ VI together that night
loaded gun magazine
Odd way to say loaded gun or magazine.
I said odd not egregious.
Yes? I didn’t contradict your calling it “odd”, I clarified that it isn’t egregiously odd, just the regular kind.
My misunderstanding.
Was it just a random collection of unfired rounds in different calibers?
the very most common caliber, globally, aside from .22LR
Luigi wasn’t there he was with me, we were picking blueberries in the woods.
This is true.
