According to conventional wisdom, Johnny damned himself by accepting the bet in the first place. The devil "loses", but that just cements Johnny's sin of pride.
The devil might not have gotten Johnny's soul the day of the contest, but make no mistake, he does eventually get the soul.
People who know this shit have been through Mangione’s social media feeds.

The guy likely did it. The guy's social media history puts him right in that "potential mass shooter" territory, but one more radicalized by pain rather than the right-wing shitholes of the internet.
But the part no one's talking about yet are the copycats to come. Because this guy got attention for it. Accolades even. That's part of what mass shooters want. Attention. Accolades are a wet dream for them.
At least this will be better than when they were murdering children for the shock value.
So yeah, I think "Rich asshole murdered" will become more common. If only the richest asshole in whatever Podunk little town the mass shooter was from.
And yet, I can't say that it will be a completely bad thing. If the mass shootings must happen, (and America apparently says they must) then I'd rather it be a rich asshole who bites it than a classroom full of grade schoolers.
Then it's not "Full self driving". It's at best lane assistance, but I wouldn't trust that either.
Elon needs to shut the fuck up about self driving and maybe issue a full recall, because he's going to get people killed.
Fun fact, -40C and -40F are the same temperature.
Then 575K and 575F are the same.
Ukraine was a massive fuck up for Putin. He believes in the bullshit known as color revolution.
So he thought he'd pull one in Ukraine. A few years of some soldiers fucking around in the East, then he'd walk in and be welcomed.
Which is fucking stupid.
But Putin has long since killed anyone who would tell him that an idea is stupid, or that people don't work the way a paranoid, backstabbing KGB trained psychopath thinks they do.
No, Putin fucked up hard due to the dictator trap.
Now he's scrambling. He's been killing off rivals and opponents at a breakneck pace the last few years, all because his position has never been weaker.
And he barely managed to diffuse a coup attempt.
He had to use treachery to do it, so the next time, the coup leader will not back down.
No, Putin is desperate to pull out some sort of win in Ukraine, because anything else is the end of his rule, and likely his life.
The NYT was shitty long before that. They famously did not cover the Holocaust. Not the run up, and not even during the war.
When the camps were liberated, Americans at home had no idea who was in the camps.
The owner of the NYT was later asked about their failures in covering the Holocaust and the buildup, and said with a shrug "the NYT didn't really cover the Holocaust".
As a note the owner of the NYT was Jewish. But didn't want to be associated with poor Jews.
He hired Joel Kaplan over ten years ago.
Kaplan was a Bush toadie who participated in the Brooks Brothers Riot that stopped the recount in Florida in 2000 letting the corrupt jackasses on the Supreme Court to steal the election for Bush.
Kaplan has personally exempted right wing "news" sources from Facebook's truthfulness standards.
Eight years in and I'm still pissed about those fucking hats. I have this nice red cap that a friend gave me almost 15 years ago. It was custom-made, and has a starburst image that a third friend created... and the cap base is the exact same shade of red as those fucking Trump hats, so I've not been able to wear it in public for 8 years.
You could look at it that way, or...
Revelation 13:3
One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.
There's a political organizer with the same name a few counties over. In 2021 the shooter was 17, and not legally able to donate in PA.
The conspiracy might focus on the "donated to Biden" thing. Ignoring that there's a guy with the same name who is a left leaning organizer a few counties over, and the donation was in 2021, when the shooter was 17 and not legally able to donate to a candidate.
The Lehi terrorist organization was formed shortly before WW2 with the goal of killing the British (who were in control of Mandatory Palestine), Palestinians, and any Jew who advocated for peace.
Under the leadership of their founder, they repeatedly tried to join WW2 on the side of the Nazis.
They also adopted Nazi race science whole cloth, except that "God's chosen people" had to be on top, with Arabs (Palestinians) being relegated to the bottom.
Their founder was killed by the British in 1942.
Under their second leader, Lehi were directly involved in several brutal massacres of Palestine people.
In 1980, the Second leader of Lehi became the Israeli Prime Minister, and directly mentored a young Benjamin Netanyahu.
