Prepare to see this photo a lot by the usual suspects in an effort to paint a broad stroke across all of Luigi's supporters. Are CIA planted redditors going to be a thing now?
"You two look embarrassing to any cause, here's 50K to to go stand outside with some signs."

Is this not AI?

I'm like 99.9% sure that's AI. You can tell by the pixels because everything looks a little too clear and contrasted.

That's not AI, look up "ceo killer supporters" on YouTube and you'll see multiple videos of these fatties.

I doubt there’s much behind it. there’s stupid people on every side of a story

Luigi is mogging everyone during that perp walk the optics of this are incredible. Did they not have any better cops to surround him with? Of course attractive people get more support but that's part of the puzzle of what makes him sympathetic to the plebs. It's not just antisocial losers who think society is broken in this case. Even wealthy attractive or extroverted people think healthcare in the US is fucked. Everyone knows someone who got fucked over by a company refusing to pay out. And that's why the attempts to pin being an antisocial loser on him aren't working that well.


Try blue I think he's heard all the Mario's brother jokes growing up already.

That brings the question. If Luigi was ugly just like that kid who tried to kill Trump, would he still get just as much praise, or end up deemed by the public as an incel terrorist?

It could be said that the difference between a terrorist and an incel terrorist is being an incel

But that would make the mayor look even shorter to

he’s so retarded I can’t even conceive of it. He has to be some other type of life form

Not to mention that most of the victims of these fraudulent healthcare insurance companies are not welfare queens or illegal border-jumpers, but God-fearing, tax-paying, good American citizens who believe in capitalism and the corporate system. And their faith and financial support is rewarded by a big, fat, "FUCK YOU" in the mail whenever they ask for help, despite the hundreds of billions of dollars that they made for these healthcare companies.

This should be emphasized more. Welfare queens and illegals get on Medicaid, which covers a lot more than private insurance (like regular and continuous mental health treatment), and actually pays out for necessary treatments (including preventative). It incentivizes people who have the potential to be wage-earning taxpayers to keep themselves poor, because fuck dealing with the private sphere, and it makes a false case for communism/socialism by being the better option, only because uncontrolled corporatism has made the bar that low. Because, don't get it twisted, public healthcare sucks. Gaps between available appointments are long, and providers rarely stay, so you end up with a new doctor each time. But it comes through, as long as you have no pride.

Tbh, I think the healthcare system, and specifically the dichotomy between poverty-qualifying socialized insurance and breadwinner private insurance, is another arm of the government apparatus meant to keep the populace docile and weak. Either keep yourselves poor and reliant on government gibs, or get bled dry by corporate entities who passively kill you through paper-pushing. Remember that corporations and the government are in cahoots (along with bankers and the media).

Check out the court drawings of our homey Weegee...even the court artists aren‘t allowed to portray him accurately.

Those drawings are BANANAS. It's like that weird contractual workaround that some old IP-related toys used to create character-based figurines without capturing the likenesses of the actors who portrayed them.

 

[FedPostalService]

it honestly all started when reading the news while I was drunk and I just couldn't stop doubling down. I'm in too deep now.

Just know that you are seen and that you are valid.

No more brother wars.

I’ve always hated this retarded phrase. Take a look at history, its brother wars all the way down.

Why'd they turn him into a septuagenarian in the second one though lmfao

The attractive looks and perfect physique is a side bonus to his popularity, remember as soon as this happened practically everyone under thirty was 2 feet away from dancing in the streets when the UHC subhuman was killed. What strikes me the most is just how perfect every revelation and detail has been. No innocents were hit, the only time in my entire adult life I've seen unity across the political spectrum, the guy is an absolute Chad to the point his perp walk looks like a renaissance painting, and to top it off the unending seething from media, talking heads, and the political class has been absolutely exquisite.

These corporations lost the right of being called "the private sector" after they got bailed out with taxpayer money back in the Bushama years. So these fuckers don't have that excuse. And now, these very same corporations take the money of Americans who believe in the capitalist system, and give them nothing in return. Forget "taxation is theft", at this point, even insurance has become theft. Uncle Sam doesn't fuck you as hard as these dipshits do.

@Helvetia I have some bad news for your Luigiwife plans

Luigi Mangione’s prison fan club: Suspect has received 87 pieces of mail and 163 donations while behind bars​

Way less than expected, right? Well apparently Luigi's PA prison was routing all its mail via a processing facility in Florida, and his NY prison is routing all mail through a processing facility in Des Moines, Iowa, thanks to some lucrative contracts that add massive delays to prisoner post.

The addition of terror charges could also restrict his correspondence rights - the Boston Marathon bomber was limited to 3 pages a week while on trial. So you'd better make your love letters count if any of them actually get through to him.

Do an infrastructure attack and cause the electricity to flicker on and off at the prison, sending the message of your undying love in Morse code. It's a surefire plan.

most of the mail will be chicken scratch fatties and angry hate mail. i have the power of flawless cursive and a bmi of 20. I have it in the bag.

electricians dm me please

even the court artists aren‘t allowed to portray him accurately

the first one is kinda cute, i guess. although, new york trials seem to have an issue with accurately portraying suspects. remember the trump ones where it looked like he was a minecraft character.


thats supposed to be Ghislaine Maxwell.

she looks more like kamala harris.

interesting article from the NYT explaining why he's facing two murder charges - I'd just post the raw gifted link and be lazy but I like you spergs.

Spoiler: Why Luigi Mangione Faces 2 Murder Cases Tied to One Killing

Federal and state prosecutors will follow a delicate legal choreography after characterizing Mr. Mangione’s actions differently in the fatal shooting of Brian Thompson.

Federal and state prosecutors charged Luigi Mangione this week in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive in Manhattan, a two-pronged legal offensive that could complicate the high-profile case.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office charged Mr. Mangione with one count of first-degree murder, a terrorism-related offense; two second-degree murder counts; and weapons crimes. The U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York charged him with one count of murder, two counts of stalking and a firearms offense.

The maximum punishment for the state charges is life without parole. If convicted on the federal charges, Mr. Mangione could face the death penalty.

The state case is expected to go to trial before the federal one, said Edward Y. Kim, the acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District, and state prosecutors said they would coordinate with federal agencies.

(im not lazy leaving these in here, i have a subscription to the nyt and they STILL fill my articles full of ads. the fuck is up with that?)

Here’s what to know about the parallel prosecutions:

Are they legal?
Jessica Roth, a professor at Yeshiva University’s Cardozo School of Law and a former Southern District prosecutor, said there was precedent for federal and state cases to proceed simultaneously.

“It’s certainly happened before with respect to high-profile murder cases,” Professor Roth said, adding that the federal government has generally pursued its own prosecution when there were concerns about a state’s access to “sufficient resources or penalties.”

Professor Roth said if the state case goes to trial first, “the federal case sort of lies in the background as a backstop in case anything goes wrong.”

She cited the parallel prosecutions of the Minneapolis police officers who killed George Floyd as among the cases that have followed a similar path. Another case in that category involved the three men who killed Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia.

In such situations, Professor Roth said, federal prosecutors brought civil rights charges while states brought murder charges.

How do the cases against Mr. Mangione differ?
State prosecutors argue that Mr. Mangione committed an act of terrorism. Their federal counterparts argue that he stalked the UnitedHealthcare executive, Brian Thompson, before killing him.

Professor Roth said “there is a tension” between the cases because stalking is directed at a specific person, and New York defines terrorism as the intimidation or coercion of a civilian population or a government.

But, she added, “They are not irreconcilable, in that you could stalk an individual with the intent to intimidate or coerce a government or a population, particularly, for example, if you were stalking a political figure.”

Daniel Richman, a Columbia Law School professor and another former Southern District prosecutor, said it was not unusual for two prosecutors to have different views of a case.

“Those two characterizations of intent aren’t inconsistent at all,” he said. “You could certainly be focusing on one person and yet also have an intent to influence policy.”

Anna Cominsky, the director of the criminal defense clinic at New York Law School, said that even if the theories were contradictory, there is little that defense lawyers could do.

“Sometimes there can be an argument made to the jury that the prosecutor really doesn’t have the facts or they don’t know the facts,” she said, “or the facts show reasonable doubt because, look, the prosecutor can’t even tell how they want to proceed on this case.”

But normally, she said, lawyers would not be allowed to talk about a federal case in front of a state jury and vice versa.

“If they’re able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he is the one who shot and killed Brian Thompson, he is going to be convicted,” Ms. Cominsky said.

How has Mr. Mangione’s defense team responded?
Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Mr. Mangione’s lawyer, said in federal court this week that her client was in a “highly unusual situation.” She said that when the district attorney’s office announced its charges, there was “absolutely no mention” that her client would face a federal case as well.

“I don’t think they even knew that this was going to happen,” Ms. Agnifilo, a former prosecutor in the Manhattan district attorney’s office, said.

The two cases appeared to be in conflict, she said, adding that in more than three decades of work, “I’ve never seen anything like what is happening here.”

What about double jeopardy?
Professor Roth said that New York State and the federal government are considered separate “sovereigns” in legal terms, skirting the federal prohibition against being tried twice on the same charge. But New York prohibits its prosecutors from pursuing state charges after a federal case on the same offense.

“That’s a reason for the federal government to essentially step back and let the state case go first,” she said.

Professor Richman said that if the state case resulted in conviction, the federal government might drop its case. But, he added, the Justice Department under President-elect Donald J. Trump might want a trial to win a death penalty.

What happens next?
Ms. Cominsky said that several factors could determine how quickly the cases move forward, including whether Mr. Mangione exercises his right to a speedy trial and how quickly evidence is turned over to the defense.

“As things advance, we may see one case start to move forward more than the other,” she said. “We’re so early on that we don’t really know.”

as I've said before, I didn't care much about Trump when he was last in office. I'm not American, he wasn't messing with Switzerland and frankly he made my politics course more interesting. When I lived in the US, it was under Biden and not in any election years. Trump is literally nothing to me.

But if he harms a hair on Luigi Mangione's head...

I meant to type floor nurse, I'm typing from my phone, and my hands are small, so it's hard to reach across the screen, so sue me for not proof reading on my day off after having to proof read dumb shit for sometimes up to 18 hours a day.


On my job, I've had to deal with Pettier insults, this really doesn't bother me. I'm a terrible person because I don't worship St. Luigi. A rich murderer, who you think cares about poor people, but is actually trying to set up a good defense.

Luigi's been disowned allegedly.

We're going to need a better sourceruski, but if it's true, it's probably understandable and likely a move to protect all the family. Mangione is now like the Voldemort word for the rich and powerful and influential. Not that it will help much, but it's understandable.
