The attack on the 50-year-old executive—allegedly by the now 27-year-old Luigi Mangione—immediately sparked an outpouring of public fury not at the gunman, but at UnitedHealthcare itself.

1st, Luigi didn't do it.

2nd, when was Brian Thompson's killer the CEO of United...?

This Luigi didn’t do it thing is so odd, and yes I’ve seen the photos, you would be amazed at how body hairs vanish depending on camera type, lighting and resolution.

I for one am of the proud opinion that Luigi did it and he’s a god damn hero for it. He did it and praise be to Luigi, i wish more of us had his courage

Makes a ghost gun. Keeps it, doesn't dispose of it. Walks around in public with said gun on his person, as well as a "manifesto." Gets "caught" because of his fake id that a McDonald's cashier clocked.

Yeah. He totally did it.

Also, a guy with really severe back pain is totally going to ride a Citibike on NYC potholed streets.

Right? Thinking Luigi is guilty is basically the irl version of "Aurora Borealis, at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?"

No. They don't. See how the official "story" holds up to the most minor of examination?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Now that you bring it up, they probably should make you sign some sort of medical consent form before you consume their awful food.

The story has changed a couple times, but I thought it was always about an employee or a customer calling it in because they recognized him, or he was acting shady. Then the cops come and he gives them a fake ID that matches the one of the hostel person.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

They originally said they saw the fake id on the table, alongside the manifesto. Idk about you, but i can totally make out the text of an id on a table using peripheral vision as i pass.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

And that is totally what I do when I eat at McDonalds: I whip out my manifesto and my fake ID and put it on the table.

What you don't take incriminating evidence of your worst felonies to your local Burger Shoppe and just start showing that shit off?

I figured we all did that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yesiree! When you're the subject of the largest current manhunt in the country, make sure you take all the damning evidence and play with it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

In the game, we call that a conviction starter package. Everything a prosecutor needs to do his or her job, all in one backpack with nation wide weeks long narrative shaping operation executed via all media formats.

Everything is normal, it makes sense 🤡

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You have a source on that? Because that is NOT how I remember things being reported.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Tbf, i do not. That's how i, personally, remember it originally being reported.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

History is filled with weirder stories

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Your mom lied to you, and so did the government.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You can’t have a reasonable debate with someone when their position is “everything anyone says is a lie, except what I say”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I can't? Well, not with that attitude, maybe.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Governments try very hard to manipulate history and often succeed. This appears to have been a very bad manipulation job though.

Reminds me of when some Russian FSB guys were hunting for "terrorists" and they supposedly found some memory "sims" in a hotel room, and in the picture the heavy armed FSB proudly posted it was some boxed copies of the video game called "the sims". And they were claiming that was legitimate proof of terrorism. Not a frame up job at all, clearly.

And I am a proud believer that he is innocent, that police officer absolutely planted a gun in his backpack, with their body camera off.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I don’t see the benefit to the rich of letting the real killer go free

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's because you don't appear to understand what this is about.

This ain't about the killer, this is about sending a message to the plebs. Attack on one of their own will result in owner class using full power of the state. They are letting us know they are in charge, public opinion is making them uncomfortable and they are acting erratic. At this point I am assuming that the police botched the evidence spooks collected for them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The “Luigi is innocent conspiracy is so niche, not even Luigi believes it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

This is has nothing to do with believing. The state has to prove he did it to a jury and they need the public to accept the verdict. They have done neither so far.

Luigi pled not guilty, wtf is u talking about?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Then why was he yelling “It’s completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and the lived experience!” on his way to arraignment? What's your mom's opinion on the matter..?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

That to me sounds like a man justifying what he did. Generally “im innocent! Help! Im a scapegoat!” Would be what someone would say. Again Luigi himself doesn’t deny he was the shooter. This “nobody was the shooter” conspiracy is so weird. And again, there’s no debating or discussion with someone who’s position is “everything everyone says is a lie and a cover up, except for what me and my beliefs say” It’s very culty, not really based on fact, just emotion and mistrust.

Overall my message is , stop shit talking Luigi and trying to claim nothing happened. Instead exalt the man for his courage and for his determination. You guys are trying to make him look like a little bitch

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

That requires having the real killer.

If they dont't, pinning the whole thing on an innocent guy and making a sbow out of how they crack down on him absolutely makes sense, in the evil machiavellian way that it is.

The goal is to discourage more people from doing it because they know that they are weaker than even a small set of the population organizing a resistance against them.

Authoritarians, and you have to be one to be capitalist, live in constant fear of the ordinary people and they will keep escalating violence as they fear dissent to grow.

Did you miss the Marvel Studios-produced perp walk starring recently embattled but mysteriously unhooked NYC mayor Eric Adams?
