The Trump administration, which has pledged to reprioritise capital punishment for serious criminals, is seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione.
Mr Mangione is accused of killing health insurance CEO Brian Thompson in New York in December.
It’s unconscionable that Luigi is sitting in prison facing the death penalty while cretins like Trump, Musk, and company can inflict policy that will kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
They make him a martyr, we’ll make him a saint.
The most American man currently in America. This man is a hero and a national treasure.
Standing up the inequalities that exist in the U.S. from the corporations that necessitate profits for shareholders over the lives of their insured.
America needs more Luigi’s.
Via his second amendment rights, no less.
They are determined to ensure a hung jury or nullification on a high profile case, aren’t they?
I’m beginning to doubt they even arrested and imprisoned the right guy.
There’s very little evidence that actually points to him.
Did he not write a manifesto about why he did it? Or am I getting my info crossed?
The “manifesto” doesn’t actually admit guilt, and it’s not been proven that he actually wrote it. Usually, a manifesto is released by the accused. Instead, the “police” “found” an “incriminating” “manifesto” “on” him when he was “arrested.” Which is to say it is entirely plausible that the letter was written by someone else and planted on the first guy they could find. Why else would the police leak it?
I thought I read that Luigi actually claimed the manifest as his own, but searching around does not bear that out.
Best I can tell, neither the police nor the major media outlets released it in full after the arrest or shortly thereafter, but it was found and shared by this guy later: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/luigis-manifesto
Long story short, I still have no clue about the authenticity. One recent headline says Luigi’s legal team doesn’t want it admissible as evidence for the trial, for what that’s worth.
Luigi hasn’t denied it, but the guy who published it got a copy of the handwritten pages. That could only have come from the police, and the police made no effort to determine where the leak came from.
Leaks like this shouldn’t happen. It’s prejudicial and contaminates the evidence. If he was actually guilty, and we had a functioning justice system, this would ostensibly weaken the case against him. But we don’t have a functioning justice system, and all signs point to Luigi being railroaded.
I believe if you look at the autopsy the guy died because a bullet went through the heart not because Luigi was inside of him.
They should be charging the bullet. It’s clear as day in the video.
Lol. I can get behind that.
Like it’s unironically a good point to be honest idk. Seems a bit convenient if you ask me.
Since we already have a convicted felon as president let’s take this wacky timeline and have an anti capitalist president that is on death row.
Hail luigi!
Turn over the evidence Karen!
(Allegedly) murders a healthcare CEO
The only thing he achieves is online liberal LARP and some fantasies from some angsty guys/girls
Gonna go against the grain here, but some of you might need to think about what was actually achieved via this kind of activism. It didn’t weaken the healthcare industry or the ruling class in any way, as the murdered executive got replaced quite quickly, other healthcare executives got spooked for around a week and removed their contract info from websites - that’s it. Individual or small-group “adventurist” acts like these aren’t going to achieve anything.
