Wait, doesn't everyone bring a loaded ghost gun to McDonald's?
Bullets in a magazine is NOT a loaded gun. The magazine must be in the gun for it to be considered loaded.

"A loaded gun magazine" aka just a magazine, you don't describe a magazine as loaded. They just wanted to use the word loaded to make it seem more dangerous so the jury sees him as violent

Wasn’t the official story such that a search at the scene of arrest found nothing, but suddenly the gun was found on search once the bag was in police custody in a second location? It’s hard to keep track of the truth in 2025.
this is like OJ all over again, police so corrupt and incompetent they feel the need to fake evidence on someone whose guilty.
hope he gets off scot free whether he did it or not, as clearly these parasite CEO's need to fear for their lifes to act like decent humans
It's important to keep in mind that Luigi is exactly the type of person that the police would try to pin this on. It's so easy to see how it could happen. The NYPD had a high profile murder of a wealthy CEO to deal with. The NYPD leaders had politicians and corporate leaders breathing down their necks, demanding this case be solved immediately. And at the same time, the suspect seemingly made a perfectly planned getaway and had disappeared. This kind of thing has happened countless times in history. Have a high profile case that simply must be solved? Find some undesirable to pin it on. Ideally this is someone who is already dead, maybe someone who recently killed themselves. You don't have to prove guilty beyond a reasonable doubt if you blame the crime on a corpse. But if a suitable dead person isn't available, then a living person can do in a pinch.
If you want to pin a crime on someone, you find someone who resembles the suspect and also isn't someone with a lot of social respect or clout. Homeless people are classic targets. And Luigi was a queer kid, out of contact with his family for months, living in a youth hostel. He is the exact type of person the NYPD would choose if they were looking for someone to pin this on. I'm sure they would try to pin it on a black person if they could, but the person they chose had to at least have some visual resemblance to the person on the security footage.
huh, thought Luigi was just some nepo baby who finally became jaded and class conscious
regardless...i want to be very clear here, i really don't care if he did or didn't do it. some people will only do the right thing when they feel personally threatened, these types of people are overwhelming represented within the C-suite type of business-class...so fuck em. hope he gets off even if he did do it

Bullets, a gun, $20,000 cash, the same outfit, the files on his computer where he designed and printed the gun mod used to shoot brian thompson, a history of book reviews where he says protests are not enough including one review of the book Deny Delay Defend which mirrors the words carved on the bullet casings at the murder scene of Brian Thompson, and the fact that he was travelling discreetly by bus across multiple states despite having a cushy six figure tech job and being the direct heir to the Mangione small fortune.
We all know he did it.
But here's what doesn't make sense to me. The guy is fucking smart, smart enough that he can literally shoot someone in broad daylight and escape the city. And then he turns up in a fucking McDonald's with a backpack full of evidence. Those two things do not jive together. If he was that smart, the gun (or more specifically, all the parts that make up the gun disassembled) and everything else he had with him, including clothing would be in random trash cans and dumpsters all over the state by the time they caught him. Or burned. You aren't smart enough to evade the entire American law enforcement apparatus for over a day, while also being dumb enough to walk around in public with a slam dunk conviction in your bag. Unless you want to be caught.
Point is, the whole thing stinks a bit to me.

His rights were violated when he was arrested. Full stop. A string of coincidences and atypical behavior does not a murderer make

If he didn't do it, he needs to be set free.
If he did do it, he needs to be set free and a statue of him should be placed on the sidewalk where it happened to commemorate the event.
