Police Say Luigi Mangione, Suspected Killer of Insurance CEO, Had 'Ill Will Toward Corporate America' | Common Dreams
This dude is a hero.
We need to be spreading the words "jury nullification" through out social media.
Where's the gofundme?
SIDE NOTE: DON'T GET SCAMMED!
Save your money, do your research. This guy will need the best lawyers and the best PR modern wage slaves can muster.
The least we can do!
But it starts with your dumb ass not blowing your load on the first thing to pop on some social media scam.
Be master, he needs you to do better here.
EDIT: there is still possibility it aint him... proceed with caution.
Pigs needed a body at this point, anything could be happening.
GFM will disable the fundraiser; one of their restrictions is that the fundraiser can't be used for "the legal defense of financial and violent crimes". Wait until things are farther along. There may be some kind of defense fund announced. If there isn't, then my personal suggestion would be to mail anonymous cash to his lawyers (once they're announced), saying it's to be used for his defense.
What about out right innocent decision? Ya Jury nullification if a boot licker gets on the Jury. But I know I'd be advocating for an innocent verdict if I was on the jury. Hell NYC just let a man who strangled a mentally ill person to death on camera walk because self defense. Luigi killing the CEO is a form of self-defense in my opinion.
Jury nullification isn't some secret third option. The jurors individually can only choose guilty or not guilty. If they are unanimous, that is the decision. If they are not unanimous, it's a hung jury effectively voiding the entire court process up to that point. The government then needs to decide if they want to re-file and try again.
Jury nullification is when evidence is presented establishing clear guilt and the jury still renders a not guilty verdict. 5th amendment prohibits double jeopardy so they cannot be retried.
They are both the same: a jury voting "not guilty". There is no such thing as an "innocent" verdict.
Where's the gofundme?
Gofundme does not allow funds for criminal defense. That's been their policy for many years.
Is he repped yet? If not and anyone knows how to get in touch with his people please contact me. I have a line on a few free attorneys that take cases of this magnitude.
I don't get this whole hype. Do we need words to explain to people they can do this? I didn't know there was a term for it, but the concept that someone can vote not guilty for contextual reasons is a thought I've had over my lifetime. Not common?
“Police say…”
Never trust this statement in journalism.
Hehe. I mean, I think almost everyone has ill will towards corporate America… so it’s not even news
Wow we’re getting close to cyberpunk 2077 if the police are actually adding “slander against a corporate rep” to a criminal’s rap sheet
Now that I think of it, that murderer Kyle Rittenhouse got off because of all the support from right wing media... why can't we have a party to back us up? Could a good legal defense and public support actually work in the favor of good people for once? Can we see Luigi speak at a new DNC once he's acquitted and give a speech on behalf of a progressive candidate?
Jesus, what a fantasy timeline I just thought of. Lol
The Dems rely on corporate America, they will not be an ally in revolution
This wouldn't happen of course, but...
Whatever the message is, it just won't reach. The money is so disproportionate from progressive voices to conservative voices. There was a bubble chart referenced in a Walter Masterson video describing social reach for right versus left, just so lopsided, the truth can't win anymore. You can have the mist compelling message from the most compelling person on the left, doesn't reach.
Pfft. I bet 80% of Americans have "ill will" towards the capitalist fucks in corporate America, if for no other reason than they steal money from the working class to fill their own and investor's pockets.
Not nearly as many as should. Most people are far too distracted by the bullshit culture war to care about the real class war.
Does anyone not have ill will towards corporate America other than corporate America?
Brilliant deductive skills there.
They'll be promoted due to their "high intelligence".
Pretty sure polls say a majority of americans agree with him.
Hopefully a jury will too.
Who doesn’t?
The only thing this guy had to do, apparently, was to scrub his personal possessions and electronics, not say a word to his friends, and then when the cops ran him through Clearview and found him, say he’s invoking his right to a lawyer and has nothing to say. And leave his cell phone at home, but presumably he did that. If all they had was the photo, then whatever. People look like other people sometimes.
He still had his ghost gun, and the motherfucker was carrying his manifesto on his person, when they picked him up. He shouldn’t have even been going to the damn McDonald’s. Just get DoorDash for a while and stay in the house until you’re not on the news anymore.
There is no guarantee that they’re telling the truth about how they picked him up and all, but it sounds like the kid was sloppy, which is a damn shame.
Not really. It's just a longer, slower form of self-immolation, if the public goes back to apathy until he dies. If he makes it long enough for the public sector to make a change, he may become the next Mandela, or Hitler. A God to some, the Devil to others. 2000 years from now, it may be a sociocultural religion to carry vaporizers and off corrupt billionaires and aspiring, if the human species makes it long enough.
Eh.
If this person is not a scapegoat, then he probably wanted to get caught, so it doesn't get blamed on a scapegoat.
Well, there is a lot to learn about how he failed and how he succeeded.
I’m thinking he wanted to get caught. Otherwise you ditch the gun, the phone (which I assume is a burner), the fake id you used, plenty of water all around manhattan to dump that shit in. Also you don’t keep your manifesto on you. Unless you want to get caught.
Or he wanted to get caught. Keeping that ghost gun and the manifesto suggests that he did want to get caught. Or that he’s legally insane and didn’t think he did anything wrong that would require him to hide his identity and his crime.
Had I'll will? Fuck, then add me to that list
I'm Spartacus!
This is Patrick.
Same
I'm Luigi!
"oh no!"
bang!
"I deed it!"
cops spotted
"ayeayeayeayeaye!!"
I'm Luigi!
Gosh I wonder why. A corporation that is denying you the ability to live at one of the highest rates. I am glad my death can help the profits of his corporation.
Well, that definitely puts him within the top few hundred million suspects.
Holy shit. This changes everything.
Everyone who rated The Lorax 5-Stars is now on a watchlist
We all do!
I am Spartacus!
Lmao who doesnt
Good. He's a fucking hero. Fuck everything about corporate America and praise be anyone willing to attack it.
I can probably point to hundreds of millions of people with ill will toward corporate America.
Wow, truly a man after my own heart
"I do apologize for any strife or trauma, but it had to be done," the Ivy League graduate reportedly wrote in a manifesto admitting to killing UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson. "These parasites had it coming."
Luigi Mangione—the 26-year-old man arrested in Pennsylvania Monday on gun charges and suspected of last week's assassination of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson—was carrying a manifesto condemning insurance industry greed, police said after his apprehension.
New York Police Department (NYPD) Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Mangione was in possession of a 9mm handgun—possibly a ghost gun made with numerous parts or a 3D printer—the type used to kill Thompson, as well as a silencer and what he described as an anti-corporate manifesto.
Three bullet casings were inscribed with the words "deny," "defend," and "depose"—a phrase commonly used by critics to describe insurance industry tactics to avoid paying patient claims. UnitedHealth, the nation's biggest private insurer, is notorious for denying more claims than any other insurance company.
Mangione's social media posts run the gamut from praising the opinions of right-wing figures like Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson to leaving positive reviews on Goodreads for books including Dr. Seuss' cautionary environmental tale The Lorax and the manifesto of Theodore Kaczynski—better known as the Unabomber.
"He had the balls to recognize that peaceful protest has gotten us absolutely nowhere and at the end of the day, he's probably right," Mangione controversially opined of Kaczynski, whom he called "an extreme political revolutionary."
"When all other forms of communication fail, violence is necessary to survive," he asserted.
Where is the full text?
your psy PhDs still working on it?
Not the one he had on his person but this is (unverified) something he posted the day he was caught https://archive.is/2024.12.09-230659/https://breloomlegacy.substack.com/p/the-allopathic-complex-and-its-consequences
Idk, from the snippet here it sounds like this manifesto is tailor made to unite the clans
Oh, a summary by @jimmydoreisalefty, our resident propagandist. I'd double-check it if I were to read it seriously.
Seems like a good dude to me. I don't think it was him.
Bullshit to limit this to the US. I have ill will towards global corporations regardless of location.
His name was Robert Paulsen Luigi Mangione.
I wouldn't call it ill.
ITT: Ill will towards corporate America.
Like I want someone to goto some of these CEO retreats and really drive home with them, plainly, how much we wish they all just fucking died. Don't care how, but the average citizen actually would rejoice.
And we have the receipts to prove it.
No shit?
eh? really? I never would have guessed
So say we all.
Same
He probably had a good reason to have this 'ill will'.
Or an uncommon thing?
