    Luigi Mangione? You mean the guy that was sleeping on my couch in December of 2023? Why are they picking on this guy? He wasn’t even there.

    I have very little expectation that Luigi is going to get off, much less have his death penalty overturned. At least not anytime soon.

    Our highest judicial branch is compromised and serve capital, the same people that Luigi targeted. They HAVE to make an example of him, and law and constitution be damned. They’ve already demonstrated they don’t give two fucks about process and law, which should make us all VERY motivated to topple this regime.

    All jokes and memes aside, we literally don’t know if it even was Luigi Mangione, for all we know they really did plant a gun on him because they got some tip that the actual killer made it out of the country. They have been breaking the law and covering up crimes since their first administration, any of us are in danger of being a convenient scapegoat for Cash “Crazy Eyes” Patel to plant a stripper clip in our backpack with “TRUMP BAD” hastily written on the shells in sharpie.

    But if some measure of sanity is restored to the country, it’s highly likely that Luigi will get a new trial at the very least.

      Unless there’s a complete abandonment of our laws (unfortunately possible) no court can do anything if a jury finds him not guilty

    This was peak performative policing and probably illegal behind the scenes tactics. And it’s going to cost them their case I hope.

        I’m gonna get downvoted to the other side of the planet for this… but I think that Leavitt, in stills, not spewing vile shit from her scroteholster, and completely disassociated from reality… is quite attractive. That said, she goes up against the wall with the rest of them when the time comes. Don’t let a pretty face skew your judgement.

        Or give cops the benefit of the doubt. Luigi didn’t do shit, the evidence was planted and it’s plainly obvious.

    There are so many problems with this case that it seems impossible to win, especially since it seems like an excellent candidate for jury nullification.
