The other inmates calling for them to free him is fucking great. Them doing an interview with the inmates yelling out the window is fantastic.

    I posted a thread with the actual interview on the political videos community.

    They're intentionally torturing him hoping he goes crazy, thats why they leaked/released a picture of him after he peed his pants, most likely from being tazed or denied access to a toilet.

    They want to portray him as a crazy loner like the Unibomber.

    Solitary confinement is torture.

    Ive posted this before, but i feel its worth repeating.

    The ACLU's job is to protect human rights, and they have been fighting these fights in court for a long time.

    We can respectfully request they check on Luigi's welfare.

    Edit - here's link to directly contact alcu of Pennsylvania, and remember, this is welfare/human rights check, they don't handle criminal defense.

    The US has become the very thing that we were taught it was founded to oppose.

    But I was assured by Fox news that he would be eaten alive by the other inmates.

    My dad was watching Fox last night and Laura Ingrams whole WEALTHY&RADICALIZED Segment was the most retarded thing I've ever sat through. Now I'm a red leaning voter but to me fox is as Mainstream media as the rest so I don't buy any of their shtick.

    I was dying with her unmoving botoxed face talk about how "Mangioni is a rich elite who was brainwashed by Ivy League schools" then bring on a Republican from a different Ivy league school and praise him for shaming Luigi.

    At some moments I swear you could see gears and cogs turning in her head to come up with a cohesive sentence.

    "Through flashing lights and shouts, they communicated the prison conditions of their fellow inmate"

    The criminals inside the jail working together for justice. The state is really dropping the mask off.

    Inmates, current and former, have been trying to tell us about prison conditions for a long time. It just gets brushed off as "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time" by the same people who setup our health insurance system and keep the stock market line going up at the expense of the food on your table. Not to mention the mountain of evidence about police being able to put any normal person in prison for crimes such as, "walking in a car town, walking while black, breathing while homeless, and refusing a search of your car" I mean there's just so many ways to say Resisting Arrest.

    But yeah, we probably should listen to them, they might have a few points.

    Maybe we can put the state on trial. They always want to talk about how much of a pro or an amateur he is. It's a strange obsession. The only amateurs I see are "experts", cops, media. Of course I don't want them to be better. They can just fock off.

    It'd be icing on the cake if he can bring terrible prison conditions to the spotlight as well.

    Free Luigi! He didn't to it, but if he did I would still vote for him on the next presidential election because that's where we are now. One more presidential requirement...must be a criminal.

    I highly recommend everyone read Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy. The total cluster fuck that happened to the inmates and the officers should show how the government and prison system feels about everyone.

    Nah, he doesn't have info that'll expose/hurt anyone else and if they kill him he'll be a martyr and even more of an icon than he already is, "they" absolutely don't want that.

    I think making him look insane serves their purposes better, and letting him live only presents an opportunity for him to speak and maybe say something people could rally behind. That seems more threatening than making yet another martyr that’ll just get thrown on the pile with all the others.

    Jump in a green pipe or find a warp whistle, Luigi.

    What's the opposite of getting shanked because the other inmates find out you're in for csam?

    He should be fast tracked politically to run for future President of the USA after a pardon of state and federal charges. We already have a felon fraudulent rapist POTUS, why not a murderer.
