Luigi Mangione shouts a message to the American people on his way to court:

“This is completely unjust and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience.”

He'll get a jury trial after about 2 years of waiting, locked in a cage

My dream scenario is a mob marches on the capital cities ready to kill the 1% and Trump pardons Luigi and throws the rest of the wealthy to the mob to save his own ass. I believe Trump would do just about anything to save himself.

Edit: Updated my silly hypothetical to better explain the idea. I obviously don't think it's realistic, but it would be amusing. Esp if it failed to sate the publics rage!

That won't line his pockets, so no, he won't be doing that.

Where does the wealth go if his competitors are dead? Dude owns casions and hotels. If he offs the competition, that makes him a lot of $

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

He no longer owns any casinos. Those went bust. Most hotels aren't even his, he just leased his name out. Killing a CEO doesn't put the competing company out of business, either.

It does if you're sending them a message they can't ignore

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

No. It doesn't. They already replaced the dead one. You think there aren't more greedy shits who will roll those dice? Or shareholders who will remain unaffected by the killings?

Trump can already pardon himself. Even if he couldn't, making enemies of the rich wouldn't help himself, in fact it'd just do the opposite. The ultrawealthy have class solidarity, so Trump was never in actual trouble. They only face consequences if not doing so would majorly harm the collective image of the rich (e.g. this is why Jeffrey Epstein had to die).

Yeah idk, maybe something like a 6ft rope? Something related to a hangman's rope for execution?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago
