This story seems to have faded in the wake of events ad nauseam. We are all aware of Senor Luigi. However, most folks can’t recall the full name of the guy that allegedly Luigi gunned down. Mission accomplished.
Nothing's happened, that's why. His next court date is:
Tuesday, 9/16, 9 a.m.: People v. Mangione (NY State), 100 Centre Street, Part 32, New York, NY 10013
I know it's just how the courts work but how can it be the people vs him when the people seem to support him. The state vs maybe.
People on Lemmy, sure. But talk to your boomer neighbors and they’ll all say he’s a terrorist.
because alleged criminals are prosecuted by the State on behalf of the People. Public opinion doesn't really factor into it.
lol “people vs mangione” more like people & mangione vs the corrupt & evil
Nobody really cares about the guy who died, despite corporate media insisting on our sympathy for months. They figured out we can't be fucked about the sorry sonofabitch, so they're hoping we forget about the whole business while trying to censor talk of LM off of all major social media platforms. Sure does help that so much news and social media are owned by the same fuckers.
That's the guy responsible for fixing most of the bugs in civ VI. And there is evidence he did that.
He's also been baselessly accused of shooting some twat. So the federal prosecution is waiting for people to forget about him so they can drag him through a kangaroo court and murder him for political reasons.
I'd have thought they'd want him dead for all to see. See what happens when you touch an untouchable.
It's the sort of thing that could spark a full blown revolution though. Capitalists aren't known for their love of change.
We need more people like Luigi. I mean both people who can fix bugs in Civ VII and people who can fix bugs in american healthcare system.
I don't watch mainstream media, but Status Coup News does follow his case and updates when something happens.
From what I understand, lawyers found a major issue with how he was apprehended. Apparently he wasn't read his rights before they started taking action, so a fair bit of evidence they have against him may need to be thrown out.
Also they decided to pursue the death penalty way too fast, among other injustices.
Issues with the way he was apprehended? I am just shocked.
The media understands that giving him any exposure will make people think about his motives, and might generate similar acts from others. The best strategy to keep people from “looking up” instead of looking left/right is to not expose anyone to the idea.
With that strategy, it makes you wonder why they relentlessly cover school shootings. (It could also be that they keep happening, and it's actually different every time)
Because school shootings are us fighting each other and not the rich.
It is impressive how scared the wealthy elite are of this man and what he did.
He must be aquitted so they finally understand they're not untouchable. Someone might kill them for the shit they pull.
It wasn't him though
I still don’t think it’s even Luigi that did it. Looks nothing like the guy from the video
Im not even sure I trust that video. It has artifacts that make it look doctored to me.
Classic oligarchs, pinning their crimes on the underprivileged...
Rich white males from prestigious families? Hang on, wait a minute.
Brian Thompson obviously killed himself.
Release the Thompson files!
And by that I mean: Promise to release the files for years and then decide no one should be prosecuted and say "why is everyone still talking about that guy?"
His name was Brian Unitedhealthcare, right?
I thought his name was John Forprofithealthinsurancecorporation
I'm fairly certain he's still at large.
He prolly didn't even do it but who ever did do it, did the right thing
I’ve been saying the entire time they have the wrong guy.
Takes a while to get a jury together. The legal system is very slow, even in easy cases; and trying to find an unbiased jury makes it even harder.
There will be no truly unbiased jury, this is way too public and polarizing
Fucking CB radio featured Luigi and that's an impenetrable subculture
they will go through a ton of jurors before they will seat one. they needs one dumb enough to be swayed easily by either side. both the defendant and prosecutors are only limited to amount of jurors that strike from a group during jury summons, so they are looking at biases for him and remove them. what they really want is the ones that dont read the news much, or retireers.
I think the guy he allegedly killed, had a name that started with.... I think it was a d? David? Derek? Dddddouchebag. Douchebag, yeah. I think the person that died was a massive douchebag.
That seems right to me ....
Luigi didn't do it though. He's being set up by the prosecution.
Signor Luigi. Señor Luis.
The guy that was gunned down by someone was Evil Healthcare Prick.
He's the future highest profile instance of jury nulification.
I think his name was Scumbag McFuckhead or something like that.
