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.

[-] naught101@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

That's a wild interview. Surprised the prison guards didn't come out and tell them to leave.

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.

When one is on suicide watch in jail, they leave the lights on 24/7. Drives down melatonin production, amongst other significant physiologic measures.

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.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 10 points 1 year ago

Can you name one year in US history where it wasn't that thing we were supposedly founded to oppose?

[-] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

You're right. I can't.

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

[-] zib@lemmy.world 186 points 2 years ago

As we all know, convicts are famously known for being supportive of corporate executives and the healthcare industry.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 59 points 2 years ago

The criminals who rule us are for sure

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago
[-] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 46 points 2 years ago

Fox news has always had a finger on the pulse of the working class and inmates /s

[-] 3ntranced@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 186 points 2 years ago

"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.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 22 points 1 year ago

Just because someone is in jail or prison doesn't make them a criminal, especially in the US. Dont make assumptions. They're all prisoners and inmates.

[-] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 119 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] Manalith@midwest.social 21 points 1 year ago

Imagine it'll be hard for them to Epstein him if all of the inmates care about his well-being

[-] Zementid@feddit.nl 17 points 1 year ago

A series of events which lead to the total reform of the US, like a real Life political Forrest Gump.

I would watch that movie if the tonality is similar.

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 68 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

I think he should be freed even though he's innocent

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.

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 41 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] ramsorge@discuss.online 22 points 2 years ago

That wont end well.

[-] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 years ago

If they kill him there will likely be riots and copycats.

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

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

I bet if he can jump up to the roof he can just skip the whole level.

[-] nebulaone@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah, a cape or clipping through a wall is also a great idea. Needs frame perfect movement, though.

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

[-] curiousaur@reddthat.com 10 points 1 year ago

Shanking the guards and helping them escape.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 6 points 1 year ago

We can help too. Its not unprecedented

Anyone know how to put money on his books?

[-] ClanOfTheOcho@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If you're serious, there are a few different organizations that can handle the money transfer for you. Here are the instructions for MoneyGram. You'll need to wait for him to get into the prison databases to get his id number.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Juice@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure we've had presidents who killed people before, like wasn't murdering Indians Andrew Jackson's whole campaign platform?
