Vaughn Wright — who's currently incarcerated in Pennsylvania — wrote in an op-ed published by the Prison Journalism Project Thursday that Luigi Mangione's temporary stay at State Correctional Institution at Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, changed the way prisoners there can share their stories with media.

That is not a good choice of words to describe an attractive person's time in jail, lmao. I think they meant "everyone wanted to meet a folk hero and tell the tale, including the guards."

I mean, I wouldn’t mind being his cell mate.

But what if he radicalizes you?!

[-] blakenong@lemmings.world 14 points 1 year ago

He’d have to really shove it down my throat for that to happen.

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Come now, he doesn't seem like the kind of guy to be a pain in the ass.

I’m tight.

The whole quote is "Everyone wanted a piece of the biggest crime story in the nation." The headline choice was absolutely intentional.

The problem with your title is that you call Luigi a "Folk hero".

You are not allowed to do that on the news.

Thanks for saving a click. I only read that as murder.

If you expect, or even hope that news will aim to spread truth...

Well, hell. We've got the wrong decade (century?) for that.
