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.
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.
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.
because alleged criminals are prosecuted by the State on behalf of the People. Public opinion doesn’t really factor into it.
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. 🖕
Wealthy* People v. Mangione
FTFY
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.
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.

That’s the guy responsible for fixing most of the bugs in civ VI. And there is evidence he did that.
He’s also been baselessly accused of shooting some twat. So the federal prosecution is waiting for people to forget about him so they can drag him through a kangaroo court and murder him for political reasons.
I’d have thought they’d want him dead for all to see. See what happens when you touch an untouchable.
It’s the sort of thing that could spark a full blown revolution though. Capitalists aren’t known for their love of change.
We need more people like Luigi. I mean both people who can fix bugs in Civ VII and people who can fix bugs in american healthcare system.
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.
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)
Because school shootings are us fighting each other and not the rich.
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?
Oh buddy, hold on! You’re about to get nuked for saying something positive about guns!
Edit: FWIW I agree entirely!
Armalites have always been garbage. Get an ak
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.
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?
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
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.
Look at the security cam footage it’s clearly a different person
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
I still don’t think it’s even Luigi that did it. Looks nothing like the guy from the video
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.

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?
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”

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.

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.

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?”
His name was Brian Unitedhealthcare, right?
I thought his name was John Forprofithealthinsurancecorporation
I’m fairly certain he’s still at large.
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.
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.
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.
Signor Luigi. Señor Luis.
I think the guy he allegedly killed, had a name that started with… I think it was a d? David? Derek? Dddddouchebag. Douchebag, yeah. I think the person that died was a massive douchebag.
That seems right to me …
Luigi didn’t do it though. He’s being set up by the prosecution.
I know, I was certainly spending time with him during the alleged attack. He couldn’t have done it while sat across from me at that diner, many miles away from where the crime happened.
I think you mean breakfast
You’re thinking of dinner. A diner is a place that serves food.
Source? It sounds like a conspiracy theory based on nothing
What indicates that would be the case?
There was no murderer. He died of natural causes
After all, shootings are just a natural part of life.
What’s up with the misinformation and low effort trolls regarding this topic?
It’s satire based on the types of things the rich and powerful say to get away with stuff on a regular basis. The guy he allegedly killed had allegedly killed thousands through the policies he intentionally put in place, that were defended with similar language.
Thanks
I believe not helping/providing service to people in need of help is a lot less worse than killing people directly
The guy was probably a massive dick but glorifying his death and the killer is wild
Defending a mass murderer who did it for profit is wilder
Nah. They’re the same type to poison us all while laughing on the way to the bank. Fuck em
No there are certain individuals in life who we are far better off without. Normalize killing exceptionally evil people
You think that not helping someone up who is clinging onto the edge of a cliff, about to fall and die, is not as bad as pushing them off?
Sure, its not my fault that they are holding on, about to fall. I didn’t put them in that situation. But here i am, fully able to save them, nobody else around to do it instead of me. Do you think that i am less guilty of killing them if i refuse to help them?
Heck, they are even paying me money every month to ensure i dont fall off cliffs. They will even have to pay some of the money it costs me to pull them up from the edge.
Think about what you are saying mate… thats fucking ridiculous.
Well look at it this way, the guy that got shot indirectly killed thousands and made a lot more peoples lives miserable through needless suffering and financial ruin, the guy who shot him killed one, in an attempt to stop the indirect killing. The first reaction of the company the guy that got shot worked for was to allow compensation for medical claims more easily (“rectified” since, but a bunch of people got essential help early in) therefore the shooter saved a lot more people than he killed. So why would anyone not glorify the killing as it was a net win.
I haven’t come across that. Do you have examples?
I think the guy he killed
Allegedly 😉
Downvoted only for the winky face. I earnestly believe the guy is innocent and unrelated
Oh shit same here, the winky face wasn’t meant to imply otherwise. Was more like “hey now, let’s be clear on what’s what”
Oh right, let me correct my wording.
Thanks.
You’re getting warmer.
Did someone light a match? Is he being cremated?
Deadweight
I’m pretty sure it was Bob. Or Brad. Billy? Bitchass! Yes it was definitely Bitchass.
The guy that was gunned down by someone was Evil Healthcare Prick.
