    Jokes on them, I only read Luigi articles to fawn over the pictures

    Good luck with that. You should show me video from 20 different angles irrefutably proving him the assailant and I’d still hang that jury with my not guilty.

    Any real American should do the same.

      “Good luck with that” was exactly what I said in my head when I read that headline. Talk about toothpaste out of a tube, huh?

      And yeah, I don’t care what anyone says, I got reasonable doubt out the wazoo. That video doesn’t identify him, and any other evidence has been handled by some of the most corrupt government forces that have ever existed, so I’m not considering any of that to be valid.

      Bottom line, there’s no evidence, I got reasonable doubt, Not Guilty.

      And alternatively, if somehow they could pin it on him hard, he was acting in defense of others by killing an active corporate serial killer who was responsible for suffering and deaths of millions, and would be the cause of suffering and death for millions more. He did society a favor, and deserves the Medal of Freedom.

    I don’t understand the pageantry behind all this. We all know this will end one of two ways. Either he’s found guilty and killed, or he’s set free and the powerful have him killed anyway.

    Sucks this guy sits in a jail cell for a crime he didn’t commit. I keep trying to tell people that Luigi Mangione was fishing with me and my roommate that day, but nobody listens.

      No he couldn’t have been. He was at a sex party with me in Oakland. Weird to have a straight guy there, but someone insisted. Had a thing for smarmy Italians, so I couldn’t really object.

    That has been a constant factor from the beginning. They were issuing warnings about him being “armed and dangerous”. Meanwhile social media was laughing at the cops, saying they had nothing to fear, with many saying they would help shelter him if given the option. They set him up with a dozen heavily armed cops bullet resistant gear, etc. for transport and within the same week there were multiple murderers being escorted by just two cops casually walking.

    The media, the cops and the prosecution has been trying to paint him as a violent and dangerous criminal. Meanwhile the only people with something to fear, are the very wealthy and cops.

      Luigi Mangione confirmed to me there really is a loosely organized cabal of extremely rich people keeping the flow of information under control.

    No, no, don’t pay any attention to the company behind the curtain. They certainly didn’t send a bunch of their trusting customers and or their family members to the grave. No, no, it’s completely inconsequential to the case.

    This hell spawn shot that poor innocent oligarch, er um, family man, complicating his trust fund err…

    I said don’t look behind the curtain!

    I’ve yet to see any proof Luigi was in New York that day. How has the prosecution not released photos of him leaving central park by now? It’s basically impossible to get into or out of the park without cross at least one camera path. Unless of course, they know he didn’t do it but fucked up their investigation so bad they’ll never find the real shooter and just pinning it on some patsy they already had on a watch list.

        Well lets stick to facts. He was arrested at McDs 3 days after the murder.

        However, nothing of what he supposedly had in his possession makes sense, especial with the revelation his bag was searched illegally off camera before they finally turned on a body cam to search it.

        MO doesn’t make sense that he would go through efforts to hide his identity in New York and ditch clothing backpack but keep the fake IDs, gun and manifesto saying everything cops would want to hear on his person 3 days later.

    its biasing us for Luigi, the more they try to do that the more attention they bring, which is why they mostly stopped reporting him in the news.

    The most important aspect of this that I think most people are missing is that they are specifically trying to bias the public into thinking he definitely did it. There is no “allegedly” in how they’ve treated him, they are actually using the positive public sentiment about what he did to continue to build the idea that it was definitely him and we don’t need to go to court to prove it. The public loving Mangione and believing he definitely did it is actually in many ways beneficial to their case. It helps solidify the idea in the general public eye that “he did it” before any court case has looked at the facts.

      Innocent until proven guilty, but if you say anything about that they’ll probably nix you from the jury pool so if you get selected just act dumb

      I definitely don’t. He’s a hero because he’s innocent and stood bravely against abusive treatment by the state. Too much fuckery for me to believe even hard evidence presented before my eyes. We know when we’re being fucked with.

          That’s why making sure potential jurors are educated on jury nullification, how it works, and how to not be prematurely dismissed as a juror is so important.

              Basically it means that you can return whatever verdict you want as long as you don’t say something stupid like “I don’t actually believe this by the way.”

                  You don’t believe in the public being part of the decision making about which laws are just? That’s part of democracy.

          Find one person, and I mean one that isn’t skewed by knowing the context of the case. Jury nullification is the correct course when it’s very, very clear that the prosecution is acting in bad faith. I have no idea the facts, I do know the prosecution is lying about the narrative because we’re not stupid.

              They choose a pool of jurors randomly. You don’t need to pretend to be uninformed until you’re in the room (unless you comment under your real name), where they select the actual jurors after each side has excluded some

    Well, good luck. /s

    The stupid bastards would have a hard time throwing a stone anywhere in any American city without hitting someone who’s been fucked over or had their family damaged/destroyed by an insurance company.
