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.
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.
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.
because alleged criminals are prosecuted by the State on behalf of the People. Public opinion doesn't really factor into it.
People on Lemmy, sure. But talk to your boomer neighbors and they’ll all say he’s a terrorist.
they all got redirected by the MSMs. there is big support him on other social media, but onl boomers and Xers watch cnn and fox, so they are against him.
lol “people vs mangione” more like people & mangione vs the corrupt & evil
magione's people vs STATE OF NEW YORK
Law enforcement vs Mangione.
The people want him freed. 🖕
Wealthy* People v. Mangione
FTFY
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.
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.
This must be a taxing and mentally draining process for all the grown ups in the room.
retirees? like the ones that spend half their time in a hospital room? paying 300$ for bandaids?
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
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.
Especially since I was hanging out with Luigi all evening and into the morning, during the time he allegedly was killing some guy.
Clearly he couldn't have done it, we were hanging out.
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.
I know, I was certainly spending time with him during the alleged attack. He couldn't have done it while sat across from me at that diner, many miles away from where the crime happened.
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.
Corporations already forgot about the dead CEO shortly after they replaced him and the new guy presided over stock value decreases and lowered forecasts. The only people that care now is the press looking to generate views with sensational news and district attorneys or AG’s trying to please their wealthy overlords for reelection.
the head ceo witty and hemsely sure dint care either. one of the reason is that UHG was under insider trading investigation, and thompson posed a potential threat to them.
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.
Are you able to extrapolate a little more, that sounds interesting
There is a general lack of body-cam footage to back up the cops follwing procedures and the timing of evidence being collected is suspect at best.
Overall, there are enough holes in the narrative that was reported to the media that luigi being a scapegoat is not an unreasonable stance.
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.
That's a fair point but it is the state' job to prove their case to throw a jury and their dragging feet and doing fucky shit. After spending a month or two litigating the case in media.
They acted like it was a proven fact that he did it... They gonna need to convince the public now beyond chain of trust me bros
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.
He's the future highest profile instance of jury nulification.
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 took them over a month to reorient the right wingers against luigi. also reddit was silencing the news early on around the time he got caught.
I think his name was Scumbag McFuckhead or something like that.
I think it was something like that. Or probably very similar.🙌
Signor Luigi. Señor Luis.
