    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.

      And they certainly don’t have that. All they have is an image of him checking into a nearby hostel and an image from the scene that is clearly another guy.

      “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 agree with you 100%, but I want to be clear.

        Luigi could meld his mind with mine, providing 100% absolute clarity that he did it, and I’d still vote not guilty.

        Because no person died - all we lost was a vile monster who knowingly refused health care not just from the needy, _but the needy who had already paid for it_.

        The killer (whoever they are) did humanity a favor, they deserve a holiday.

    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.

      I don’t even know that he’s a hero. We don’t have any proof he did it. He’s guy they are framing.

      Well, the feds did it to themselves. Rather than focusing on the crime of murder, they focused on the victim, who is completely unrelatable, and generally disliked, then they focused on the motive, which they presented in the context of “it was pre-meditated!” And everyone just saw a very relatable person in the accused and collectively we all kind of went “mood” … So I’m not sure what they expected, but that CEO guy that’s not important enough to remember the name of, who died, is not the victim here.

      The victims are all the people that were denied while CEO guy was in charge, denied by the policies he put in place, promoted, demanded that people enforce, or any of the above… Luigi is just the latest in a long line of victims that this guy has caused suffering to.

    The tv talking heads, with such class, were frothing at the mouth with excitement about Luigi getting beat up and or raped in jail.

    Turns out the average person fucking loves the guy and what he stands for, prisoners doubly so.

    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.
