This story seems to have faded in the wake of events ad nauseam. We are all aware of Senor Luigi. However, most folks can’t recall the full name of the guy that allegedly Luigi gunned down. Mission accomplished.
Brian Thompson obviously killed himself.
Release the Thompson files!
And by that I mean: Promise to release the files for years and then decide no one should be prosecuted and say “why is everyone still talking about that guy?”
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.
because alleged criminals are prosecuted by the State on behalf of the People. Public opinion doesn’t really factor into it.
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.
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. 🖕

Takes a while to get a jury together. The legal system is very slow, even in easy cases; and trying to find an unbiased jury makes it even harder.
There will be no truly unbiased jury, this is way too public and polarizing
Fucking CB radio featured Luigi and that’s an impenetrable subculture
CB radio - like “breaker breaker 1 9”?
Damn. We are in CB culture again? My Dad did some Outlaw trucking in the 70’s when Teamsters were on strike. No specifics but CB’s & Trucker culture evaded a ton of trophies for all the “Old Smokies”.
they will go through a ton of jurors before they will seat one. they needs one dumb enough to be swayed easily by either side. both the defendant and prosecutors are only limited to amount of jurors that strike from a group during jury summons, so they are looking at biases for him and remove them. what they really want is the ones that dont read the news much, or retireers.
retirees? like the ones that spend half their time in a hospital room? paying 300$ for bandaids?
I know old people that defend healthcare companies unfortunately. “Well this one isn’t nearly as bad as the others”. Give me a break.
i assume those in white collar work that retire earlier than 65, also govt employees are more likely to get selected.
This must be a taxing and mentally draining process for all the grown ups in the room.
apparently they take an ENORMOUS amount of time choosing jurors, thats why people hate jury duty. its worst if its grand juries.
He prolly didn’t even do it but who ever did do it, did the right thing
I’ve been saying the entire time they have the wrong guy.
Especially since I was hanging out with Luigi all evening and into the morning, during the time he allegedly was killing some guy.
Clearly he couldn’t have done it, we were hanging out.

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
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?
Armalites have always been garbage. Get an ak
Oh buddy, hold on! You’re about to get nuked for saying something positive about guns!
Edit: FWIW I agree entirely!
Because school shootings are us fighting each other and not the rich.
The way school shootings get treated v Luigi case… Is very telling about what the regime really cares about
It working people crotch fruit that’s for damn sure unless they are seeking another rape victim that is.
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.
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
All the info I get is from Status Coup. I don’t want to paraphrase anything incorrectly so here’s one report on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSrqt7rKqqg
Can search Luigi on their channel for the coverage they’ve done. There’s a lot.
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.
i heard about that early on in dec too.
I kind of don’t care or want to know. I was enjoying the absence of discussion of his nonimpact.
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.
I’m super down for a murder cult that murders fuckbags who profit of the pain and suffering of others.
The fuck is wrong with you?
I’m logical enough to realize assholes are born faster than we can vigilante murder and real solutions come from policy.
Same. It being on a board like eli5 makes it even more spammy.
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
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!
I will not deny my failure on many fronts.
Awwww, you do care.
cringe
“Cringe”. Lmfao. Bot think it has feelings.
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.
deleted by creator
the head ceo witty and hemsely sure dint care either. one of the reason is that UHG was under insider trading investigation, and thompson posed a potential threat to them.
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.
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.
Signor Luigi. Señor Luis.
The guy that was gunned down by someone was Evil Healthcare Prick.
It is impressive how scared the wealthy elite are of this man and what he did.
He must be aquitted so they finally understand they’re not untouchable. Someone might kill them for the shit they pull.
It wasn’t him though
Source?
What’s your source that it was him? That’s the thing, the circumstances for his arrest are so fucking fishy that it makes him seen like a scapegoat and not the actual killer
People wouldn’t be praising him if they really believed he didn’t do anything. I don’t know more than what’s on mainstream media
Some things are fishy but they are for many things, and I believe if he was innocent, we would have heard a lot more. Currently afaik they’re trying to prove that not everything was handled according to the law, but that’s coping
He was at my house at the time of the shooting
Look at the security cam footage it’s clearly a different person
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXWjq3hGylQ
it doesn’t seem like it
Brian Thompson had a copy of the Epstein files, and somehow those make people die by suicide.
close the UHC/ uhg was under investigation for insider trading, witty and hemsely both did not even bat an eye when he died.
Dude, Luigi and I were playing twisted metal black that afternoon.
Nah, man. Luigi was playing Minecraft with me.
I can confirm, I am twisted metal
Yea sure
I’m asking seriously
You got a source that it was him? Legal process still isn’t over, no verdict to point to yet.
I’m pretty sure he is the only suspect, and evidence was found in that regard
He also doesn’t seem the act as if he was innocent

Oh, you must live in one of those countries which the spectre of capitalism doesn’t threaten the very fabric of society. Which planet is that on again?

Capitalism doesn’t hold a candle to other institutions when it comes to ruining a nation.
Importing mistrust of institutions from other countries is doing that work.

Not everywhere has it to a degree where healthcare is witheld from you when it’s not profitable/ even a small medical procedure ends in financial ruin. Not everywhere has “we need to have guns to prevent opression”
Thanks for contributing substance to the conversation.

It’s perfectly valid to both mock and criticise a foreign nation. Just like burgers are free to ignore it for any or no reason.

Other than Shane Tamura, who killed Wesley LePatner the Global Head of Core+ Real Estate and the CEO of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust (BREIT), according to Blackstone’s website, and didn’t give a shit about the NFL.
