A community to post anything related to Luigi Mangione.
This is not a pro-murder community. Please respect Lemmy.world ToS.
oh I absolutely believe the allegation as plausible.
They NEEDED a fall guy for this and they NEEDED it to be so cut and dry that they could quickly make an example of him.
Even if Luigi DID do it? This is railroading for the sake of trying to scare everyone else to stay in place.
How would it benefit the rich to have the real killer running lose while a random guy goes to jail??
This is the weirdest conspiracy so far.
It’s him, he did it, and praise him for doing it, he’s a legend. Neither he or his lawyers are denying it.
It’s super weird that people on the Internet are insisting it isn’t him
Oh I ABSOLUTELY am of the belief that it is him. However, I find it strange that so much proof was supposedly found on him to the point that he might as well have been standing in time's square shouting that he did it. There was no need to backtrace through his history, go through his home, interview friends or family. It was all There.
That is what strikes me as ... too convenient.
They don't want to go to the trouble of having this long drawn out process. They want thier gunman handed on a silver platter both to please the corporate overlords, and to show that they are competent.
...when they are anything but.
Oh for sure they fucked around and made sure to plant as much shit to make sure he doesn’t get away with it, there’s definitely corruption around his case but yeah it’s him
The rich could have already discovered the real culprit and assassinated him quietly, rather than risk technicalities in court.
And if Luigi gets off on a technicality in court, the message isn't sent. Putting up a fall guy while assassinating the "real" culprit quietly is nonsensical, especially because if Luigi is a fall guy (he isn't), that increases the likelihood that he gets off and ruins the whole thing.
oh I ABSOLUTELY believe Luigi did it.
I just find it strange that everything to convict him was conveniently close to hand. The immediacy of it all feels like something out of a police proceedural more so than documented cases where it takes weeks or months even when it is fairly clear who did what so a case can be built.
Not that I buy the fall guy conspiracy, but getting someone, anyone quickly could stop the copycats. They're more worried about him being a trend setter then a repeat offender.
Not the rich, but politicians, police leadership, and DAs.
They don't want to talk about how murders can go unsolved and crime unpunished in the cities they manage and protect.
They want to demonstrate that when they show up in force they are able to quickly solve a crime and bring a criminal to justice. One, so they can keep getting elected and two so that others don't think they can get away with committing crimes.
The DA will want to push a conviction so that they look tough on crime for their political campaigns. Often times withholding evidence that might harm their case.
I don't know if it happened in this case, but it has happened before where police will railroad a suspect to get a conviction even if there is clear evidence they couldn't have committed the crime.
How insane would it be if he got off due to a technicality. Not holding my breath, but here's hoping.
Not really that insane. Cops are mostly useless and fuck shit up all the time.
Alec Baldwin got off because of screw-ups like this. Seems like when there's a high profile case, all the big shots who normally don't do any work all want to jump in and be involved. And then make stupid mistakes because they don't have any real experience because they're normally too important to work a case.
On the flip side, if they illegally discover evidence but can prove an alternative, legal, way it could be discovered it becomes admissible. That's sometimes why they do it.
It has a word too, something like Alternative Reconstruction. I used to know the term.
"buttering the goose"
"parallel construction" or "evidence laundering"
Civil rights aren't a technicality. If he 'got off' it would be a victory for everyone who enjoys not being harassed by police.
It may be a great way for the state to avoid a "not guilty" verdict.
His getting off a technicality doesn't make it clear he has support.
Really appears like they planted a backpack full of evidence on this innocent person, cops were desperate for a win
The IMPORTANT thing is to KEEP using RANDOM ass UPPERCASE in CLICKBAIT title SENTENCES. That is NOT at ALL irritating.
SPEAK UP BROTHER, I ONLY HEARD HALF OF WHAT YOU SAID!
WHAT?!
I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!
AYE AYE CAPTAIN!
AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!
SAY "AYE AYE, CAPTAIN" AGAIN! I DARE YOU. I DOUBLE-DARE YOU! SAY "AYE AYE, CAPTAIN" ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME!
i dont speak cursive
The most important part is to use MEANINGLESS HYPERBOLE like SLAMMED and EXPLOSIVE
HuMiLiAtEDDD!!!
Oh SHIT, his lawyer EXPLODED? With all the FEDERAL CUTS to staffing I WONDER, did they still have A JANITOR to clean her GUTS OFF THE WALLS?
Remember the eye brows on the photos. That is not Luigi in the photos!
Police misconduct allegations could unravel this case—constitutional rights aren't optional.
😺😺😺
BREAKING: We have an unexpected ruling from the United States Supreme Court today. In a 6-3 decision they have ruled... wait this is really it? They have ruled "Hold My Beer."
Please be true
Everyday police overreaching actually is a benefit for a change. Cool.
