Mangione, 26, appeared in court wearing a green cable knit sweater over a white shirt. He was brought into the courtroom in leg and arm shackles and wearing a bulletproof vest.

Theater to make him look like a villain that people want to shoot at.

Seems like the cops planted all that evidence, not guilty

Not only was he illegally searched, but McDonald's is likely engaging in illegal facial recognition based surveillance, possibly in collusion with the federal government.

No way a random McDonald's worker could randomly point out that Mangione looks like the suspect, of which we had very few photos.

Not to mention the solitary confinement, although unfortunately, I'm not sure that's illegal, even given the 8th amendment.

Why does he need a vest? This is the first thing both the left and right have agreed on in a long time.

Fruit of the poison tree, if they can prove it.

I feel like his trial is just gonna be a flex from the bourgeoisie in this class war. I love the man. I understand his struggles. But he's about to be "made an example" and I feel bad for him.

Make no mistake. This is not Republicans/Conservatives vs. Liberals/Democrats/Leftist. That's why Luigi was so dangerous to them. What is happening is class war. And unfortunately most of the proletariat are completely unaware of what side they are even on.

Liberals and Conservatives voters alike actually think they're on different sides. Meanwhile the capitalist class is just picking this system for scraps. They want this trial to go under the rug. Because it's actually the only thing all working class people agree on. It's a uniting issue that could spark a flame. And you can tell how worried they are based on media coverage. They are doing everything to make "a show" of it. From the perp walk to putting him in chains in court. It's a flex and a narrative. But I honestly think it's too transparent. I don't think they see that.

Remember, there are so many more of us then there are of them. Our numbers are all they fear. There is no chance for failure when it's 99% vs. 1%. Technology don't matter. Security don't matter. Their executive orders don't matter. Numbers matter. And they are absolutely afraid of those numbers.

I kinda hope Luigi being declared guilty cause a George floyd-esque public response.
