Excerpt:

Prosecutors highlighted “about $10,000 — $8,000 in U.S. dollars and then $2,000 in foreign currency that was found on his person,” CNN correspondent Danny Freeman said following the court hearing.

“Also they said that he had a Faraday bag,” which blocks cell signals, a move that prosecutors alleged marked “an indication of criminal sophistication and reason they should hold him on bail,” Freeman continued.

After prosecutors made the claims, Mangione said he would like to “correct two things.”

“I don’t know where any of that money came from — I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication,” the suspect said in a statement that suggested police framed him.

Authorities are desperately trying to make an example of someone, anyone with a motive. Turns out more than half the country has one.

the way they portray him and the tone of the whole thing is just so fucking slimy

"Do you realize how much money the wealthy are losing right now?"

"OMG how could a person born into wealth that is clearly incredibly intelligent, ever think about doing something like this? There are better ways to slowly let millions of people die over denied coverage and ignore it. How could he."

They're now also blaming Among Us for training him into an assassin, apparently.

LOL “quick, do the ‘it was video games!’ distraction “

So thin and weak

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Of this is true... Damn. Two thoughts come to mind when reading this.

  1. Rockstar Games has done so little with GTA for such a long time it is no longer the default 'turn kids into criminals'-simulator.
  2. I am fucking old.
[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Remember when Jack Thompson was relevant? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

All those kids that started playing GTA too young are now grown and taking it out on society because they don't have a new GTA to work through their urges in.

They can call us inhumane but they're the ones who got us thinking of human lives in dollar values

"Do you realize how much the wealthy are losing right now?"

Clearly, not nearly enough.

"Hey! This guy doesn't worship the Dollar! Slander him!"

[–] Sanctus 23 points 1 day ago

They can't have us realize its that easy to take our country back from the corporations that own it or their entire power structure and caste society comes crashing down.

So I wore a hoodie and wore a mask. I also smiled once on CCTV. Am I the secret assassin?

They'll find 12 of the whitest old women to ever exist and hammer this guy, I can just feel it. The justice system exists for the rich and whoever did this fucked with one of their own.

My Nostradamus prediction of the day is that you are right. They will all miraculously had a great time with the private healthcare syndicates.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 day ago

Turns out more than half the country has one.

Turns out your new president kinda wants to put that half in shackles, too.

Everyone should change their names on all their social medias to Luigi Mangione

[–] SLVRDRGN 1 points 20 hours ago

Everyone should walk around with Luigi Mangione face masks.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Shut up about should and just fucking do it, Luigi Mangione.

Sincerely,
Luigi Mangione
