Moments after Luigi Mangione was handcuffed at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, a police officer searching his backpack found a loaded gun magazine wrapped in a pair of underwear.
The discovery, recounted in court Monday as Mangione fights to keep evidence out of his New York murder case, convinced police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that he was the man wanted in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan five days earlier.

Well that clinches it. Bullets are super rare in the US.
Could this dude be any more photogenic? Goddamn
I’m bad at this, so I had to correct the hairline with AI, but I had to try:
Cursed
Guess I’m just rreally bad at this, plus poked the hornet’s nest. No good combo
Wouldn’t the bullets that killed the CEO be in the corpse and not Luigi’s bag? Sounds like exculpatory evidence to me…
The scalpel would be in the surgeon’s hand. This sounds like circumstantial evidence.
The circumcision would be in the moyle’s tip box. This sounds like prima facie evidence.
Exactly what I had in mind.
Never eat gribbinis from a Mohel, it’s so chewy.
Damn, i have a loaded magazine in my backpack, i guess I should be a suspect.
Dude you don’t have to put your load IN the magazine, it gets smelly. You use a sock for that! Or that’s what I gather from American movies from the 90s anyway.
Would a coconut do?
“No, I am Spartacus!”
No way to know if those bullets and other objects on the bag were there or were planted by the cops.
This. They didn’t find the gun or the manifesto until after the bag was taken to the station. Haven’t seen the bodycam video, but cops carry 9mm pistols, so it would be incredibly easy for them to plant a mag during his being detained. A gun would be easy to plant once at the station, where they also just happened to ‘find’ his ‘manifesto’.
My hunch is that the shooter, whoever it was, dumped the gun, silencer, and manifesto somewhere and the cops found it. When they decided they had the shooter in custody, they ‘found’ the evidence in his possession.
Doubtful, the manifesto was full of cop dicksucking and tied off any possible loose ends perfectly.
It was a cops fanfic manifesto they are claiming is legit.
Why go through the trouble of makkng a “ghost gun” if you’re going to keep stuff like this? It doesn’t really make sense.
also having monopoly money? and an extra backpack found mysteriously somewhere else? or the fact they were came extremely quickly to that mcdonalds.
And why would you bring it with you on your trip to fucking McDonald’s? Like who’s brining their ghost gun evidence of a week old crime, and their poorly spelled copaganda manifesto, when grabbing lunch?
Just forgot it was in his bag? The bag that was illegally searched on site but no weapon was found until after an 11 min camera blackout and a trip to the station…
Exactly. The whole point of a ghost gun is that it’s untraceable. You made it yourself; they can’t track it so some purchase record. The way you use a ghost gun is you make it, use it, and then just leave it at the crime scene. You make sure you never touch the thing with bare hands, so there are no prints on it. If you made one ghost gun, you can make another. They’re easily replaceable. No need to keep it with you after the crime.
Speak for yourself. Ghost guns are just guns without the paperwork, I own and shoot both regularly in a lawful manner.
$6 in plastic and $150 for a used part kit is dope.
Dude was well off. 150 is nothing to him.
My point was ghost guns shouldn’t directly be associated with criminal activity. Normal everyday people use them for lawful purposes too. I have a few since they are cheap and fun to make.
Was it just a random collection of unfired rounds in different calibers?
Yeah like, everybody needs a hobby. Sheesh!
I just think they’re neat.
No, they just happened to match police issued rounds exactly.
–probably
the very most common caliber, globally, aside from .22LR
Nah I don’t believe it. Look at that face. He should be pat on the head and sent home with well-wishes.
With his money, if his victim had been any regular person, he’d already be home, and the victim’s family would be living in a new home with a new car in the garage.
Ridiculous. There’s like ten thousand people who can testify that he was with them at the time of the shooting.
The problem is that they’re all lying to cover for him. i know this because he was with me at the time. We were talking fashion, he was giving me tips.
And why wouldn’t you want tips from him, look at the guy. Stunning in prison
Thats impossible bro we were playing Civ VI together that night
The CIV franchise has really gone down hill since Luigi left the team.
Is it not legal to carry bullets any more?
Luigi wasn’t there he was with me, we were picking blueberries in the woods.
This is true.
Source: I’m Luigi.
No, I am Luigi!
I’m Luigi and so is my wife!
We’re all Luigi on this blessed day
Waluigi did it, why has no one come up with that?
He was up here in Ottawa hoisting a beer with me at my local pub.
Yep. I was there too. We were at The Lieutenant’s Pump
In the part of rural Pennsylvania where people have guns. Yeah, Ok.
I know I don’t have a gun, but I have a hard time that you’d bring more than the single magazine you’d have loaded in the gun if your intention is to kill someone then disappear.
police assuming, that always is the case with them is it?
