Luigi Mangione is accused of stalking United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and shooting him to death on Dec. 4, 2024.
Good, honestly we don’t even know if he’s the person who did the crime.
Does the public have any information on the evidence they have that he did it? What I have read about all sounds like a weak case with what I suspect is a mountain of inadmissible evidence gathered by methods outside of laws that would apply to the non elite class.
It is an extremely weak case. He is unidentifiable by the video, which is their best evidence by far, and any physical evidence is suspect in multiple ways, due to police corruption and corporate/ oligarch pressure. It should be very easy to sow reasonable doubt.
plus having mayor andams escorting them in a perp walk for brownie points to get trumps attention isnt helping the prosecutors case.
That probably won’t matter to the actual court case, but it was a symbol that the “System” was going to do everything they can to get this guy. It was an attempt to send a message to the citizens, poor and rich alike, that an attack on the rich would not be tolerated. It was supposed to influence public opinion, and the jury pool.
But it backfired spectacularly. The first time i saw that photo, it had a caption like “Jesus is accompanied by Roman Soldiers to his crucifixion.” That was NOT the message they were trying to send.
Federal prosecutors claimed in their new filing that Mangione deserves the death penalty because of “the impact of the victim’s death upon his family, friends and co-workers” and because “he expressed intent to target an entire industry and rally political and social opposition to that industry, by engaging in an act of lethal violence.”
I just want to remind everyone of the impact of many of Thompson’s murders on their family, friend, and co-workers, all in the service of the money masters’ sheer, unadulterated, insatiable greed.
Also we literally only know his thoughts on the matter because they released excerpts of his journal. If he was trying to really political and social opposition, you’d think he would have published a manifesto himself.
Presumptive of you to assume what was put forth as his writings are actually his. His guilt or innocence need to be determined in court, not in law enforcement’s uncorroborated statements to the media.
funny how none of thompsons family or friends came out supporting him? the estranged wife who is probably elated to not fight in divorce court, or Mr andrew witty dint even bat an eye he died.
At least he’s wearing armor now.
He was halfway around the country earing ice cream with me.
Free this man. The wealthy psychopaths need something to be fearful of as it’s the only emotional trigger that will keep their behavior from genociding the poor.
The only thing that prevents the working class’ genocide is that the military isn’t fully automated yet.
Soon.
We are all Luigi. Make them fear all of us, not just one.
So far, only one has actually done anything.
Good. All the best to him.
I mean, the only other option is to plead guilty, and nobody would do that. So this was kind of expected.
Luigi Mangione is a hero of the people.
Politicians who hold real power, not some poor smuck who doesn’t control the laws. He got an MBA and wanted to be rich, he isn’t at fault for the state of insurance in the US.
Wow! This is amazing! This garden vegetable is talking! I mean, it’s completely wrong, but god damn! Talking veggies!
how about the billionaires who donate to the politicians? I’d say in several cases they have more power. And btw (while I don’t think killing him was good), the company was developing an AI under that CEOs leadership designed to find more complex ways to deny claims
He operated the largest health insurance company, setting the model for the rest to follow. Thousands, perhaps millions, of people suffered/ died when he fraudulently denied them the health care that they paid for. He is a corporate serial killer, who murdered people for profit. Whoever killed him, did it to protect his customers from his fraudulent, and deadly, business practices.
Was probably self-defense then.
Or in defense of others.
Well, he operated the lowest branch of the largest health insurance company, but I’d say the rest still applies.
The guy was making north of $10 mill a year, so he wasn’t small potatoes.
I didn’t say he was any kind of potatoes, just pointing out a fact.
too bad it wasnt witty or hemsely, the head of the companies of UHG.
But he oversaw one of the worst insurance companies out there.
Nah. He’s “just some schmuck.” TURNIP HAS SPOKEN.
I looked at some of thier subsidiaries, and i know people that have to use thier pharamcy networks, also terrible service. optum health is owned by UHG.
True hero!
Nah he was just framed as one
For no reason at all.
I told you he didn’t do it!
It was a me! Mario!
It was a me all along!
I thought it was Agatha All Along?
Murder is where you kill an innocent person. Killing a spree killer, esp during the spree, is just defending people. Hopefully the jury is made cognizant of that.
Flushing a toilet isn’t a crime.
Free Luigi, he did it and I stand with him.
Where’s your evidence he is guilty?
*If
Prosecutor: Could you find defendant guilty?
Potential juror: I could.
Narrator: They couldn’t.
I don’t think jury nullification will be needed. I legit think that Luigi didn’t do it. Meaning a simple acquittal is all what is needed.
As for the real killer? I hope he lived a quiet life.
This is 100% the approach I’m betting the defense will take. “Yeah he did it but he deserved it” would be a great story but an absolute dipshit defense to take. Court of law is separate from court of public opinion, and unless they can prove he did it without reasonable doubt then not guilty is the way to go.
I believe him.
He couldn’t have done it! He was having a couple beers with me at the time that CEO died
I remember that night! He was buying rounds for the whole bar, what a great guy!
I was at that bar too, great guy. I’ll testify under oath.
Yo, guy… Did you kill that CEO?
We all killed that
CEOleech, on this blessed day
