Luigi Mangione accepts $300K in donations for legal defense in murder case
Luigi Mangione accepts $300K in donations for legal defense in murder case: lawyer
Jury nullification would send a very powerful message .
Also the law doesn't matter anymore anyway, so nobody should vote to convict because they're concerned about the rule of law.
look, im not a fan of Luigi. im a fan of justice. and i aint seen shit in that video where the CEO falls over
Jury being shown the footage
In response to hearing about your 10,000+ individual donations, averaging under $30
So if that doesnât send a message, maybe another CEO to spell it out?
Luigi Mangione? I haven't heard that name since he saved my life, here in North Carolina, same day as that United Healthcare guy keeled over from a heart attack
I heard the united healthcare guy died of spinal trauma but it may have been pre-existing condition
If so, it probably wasnât covered by UHC.
Thatâs not gonna go far
It could have gone far towards doing some actual good, instead of donated to an ivy league kid's murder defence fund.
Hopefully he's got a cousin named Vinny.
What's a yoot?
Luigi looks like he's about to drop the most đĽ rap album of 2025 in that photo.
Eric Adams was flexing his bootlicking muscle.
I'm surprised they kept this guy alive. Maybe they figured out how obvious epstein looked and didn't risk it with this guy
Epstein had blackmail, and as such was still a danger to the rich, even in jail. On the other hand, Luigi was just some guy with a gun who got lucky, if they can lock him up for the rest of his life, he doesn't pose any danger.
Luigi hasn't harmed any currently alive rich people, when he killed one another took their place.
Epstein was a threat to Trump and a UK Prince, among others.
I fear that we're witnessing a concerted conditioning aimed at ensuring the suspension of habeus corpus. At this point, it seems to be a bipartisan theatrical effort. I reallllllly hope I'm just being paranoid because if I'm right, we have no concept of the hell that awaits us (I'm writing this from a quantum decryption proof VPN)
Better to keep him alive as an example to poors who have any ideas about attacking their ruling class masters.
He didn't do anything wrong! The CEO just became permanently neutral to all future endeavors.
Free Luigi, DDD
Maybe he can plead guilty and have zero jail time, like Steve.
Good luck with that. Unless they legalize murder he's pretty much fucked.
This guy is going to spend decades in prison unless he starts running for president.
People are advertising jury nullification, but that won't clear him for the same reason that a McDonald's employee would tell the cops where to find him.
Look up Gary PlauchĂŠ. Dude put a bullet at close range into the temple of a guy being escorted by police, got a suspended sentence. But we can dream
PlauchĂŠ didn't kill a rich person.
I don't really understand lemmy's derision for this opinion.
It's the obvious outcome. Luigi might be a hero but he's going to jail.
Innocent until proven guilty.
"well akshually" comments are poorly received everywhere.
I think the random spike in interaction specifically to downvote opinions, counter to wannabe revolutionary fuel, are suspicious af.
TBH these luigi posts might just be a bunch of Tankies trying to convince us to start violence in the streets.
They first need to prove he's the murderer
My fear is he's going to be used to instigate the social unrest needed for project 2025 to reach it's goal of suspension of habeus corpus by June 30th. That's end game and the way they're concentrating messaging against the judicial branch right now means they're grinding toward the 6 month milestone right on schedule.
The fact the most famous dems aren't saying the above is chilling.
What if we all got too comfy with our rights and values during lockdown and the tree is about to be shaken so violently that we'll all be thankful for a low wage job in a few years? I guarantee that's a bipartisan goal.
Stay peaceful folks, the future demands it.
Likely yes, but everyone has a right to a trial by a jury of their peers and, who knows?
Political discourse is really poor in this country and they need all 12 to convict.
Woah woah woah, slow it down, we don't know if it was murder yet. For all we know it was self defence.
Or someone different.
Exactly. The mediaâand people as a wholeâneed to stop automatically assuming he's the killer. Even those who support him are still acting like he's the one who did it. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Even if he did do it, it looked like a clear cut case of self defense. Brian was coming right for his throat.
But also, there wasn't a shooter. If you watch the video, Brian trips and falls on his own gun, shooting himself in the back 3 times
I saw a man heroically trying to divert the trajectory of the gun barrel. Pulling it back multiple times.
I'm not sure what your point is. That's why there's a trial. A murder trial. To decide if he's guilty. Nothing in the story claims otherwise. In fact, they go out of their way to point out that he has only been accused, not convicted.
But it looks like he's not innocent until proven guilty like other people have been in the past.
People generally don't have time to whittle words about their attackers profession onto bullet casings in a shootout, and fabricating untraceable firearms generally isn't something rich people do for self defence.
That's merely your understanding of self defence.
Other people like those in the jury may have a different understanding - and their understanding is more important here.
Yes but no matter how obvious you think guilt is, eveyone has to go through a trial. Cops arenât the judges or executioners.
Yes, but who has the time to do that when they're playing Battletech at the same time as the murder? Which he totally was with me at that exact moment.
I take it you've never been to the USA? They do it almost constantly as a hobby. 2nd Amendment bullshit.
