it’s getting really difficult to not find him attractive
I KNOW RIGHT
Like he's literally a computer science nerd who reads books and hates billionaires
I suspect the perceived morality of his actions has a strong effect here. I don't think people are "looking past" his actions as much as they likely aren't as repulsed by them.
I am a man and I still crave his presence
Don't think it's exclusive to women, so maybe you just swing for the other team in some way.
I mean, who wouldn't in this case
No, Mr Mangione! A Fortune 500 executive is a living, enterprising creature!
I don't care....heheheh
Luigiesque: Portrait of an Assassin
I love how transparent the billionaire media is now. everything I've heard about this guy is a character assassination or speculative at best.
they even mobbed the highschool he graduated from...EIGHT YEARS AGO. All to get some clips they can piece together to fit the narrative that he's "a bad crazy man with a gun".
this shooting has certainly scared the fucking shit out of the aristocracy though. you can tell how scared they are by how hard the media is pushing the story of his capture.
Like he's literally a comp sci nerd who reads books. Literally how can they make him into a bad guy?! everything I learn about him makes me even more down diabolical
The article spelled Hero wrong...
It's from the BBC, they are using the British spelling.
Doesn't look like the guy on the video.
I admit I'm kinda disappointed. He pulled out almost perfect assassination that looked well thought out, managed to get away with only a few hickups in his plan as far as his face is considered, and then walks around with a murder weapon and a manifesto in his bag? Shame, really. All he needed was to lay low for a while, grow a beard and he'd probably be OK.
I think this is why there's a common narrative on the internet that this "evidence" was planted to frame a random dude.
It's fair to call that a conspiracy theory at this point, but hopefully due process will reveal the truth.
You don't understand.
The fact that he wrote a manifesto meant he wanted to get caught. The taking the murder weapon and the manifesto to the McDonald's was his way of saying he had gotten bored waiting for the cops to catch him. He pretty much turned himself in.
Don't be disappointed. I guessed he was going to do this, and for good reason. His options were to either, live a life in fear, worrying that one day he would be caught, or, to basically give him self up, and elect for a Jury trial. Jury nullification is one os the most powerful tools available to the average, non-rich american. If he goes through the trial and gets acquited (which only takes 1 juror), then hes a free man, a folk hero, and he sets the precident that killing rich murderers isn't an automatic crime.
What he's doing is the smartest available option, please donate to his legal defense fund.
a court case also draws out media coverage, possibly more than an extended search would
and gets acquited (which only takes 1 juror)
Unfortunately this is not true. 1 juror alone can hang the jury, but they'd have to convince all the other jurors to actually render a verdict of not guilty to avoid a mistrial
Have you ever been on a jury? In my experience it’s 2-4 strong personalities and a bunch of people confused by lawyer speak (because two confident authority figures are telling them to believe e two different things and they can’t reconcile the contradiction) and people who just want to go home and thus go along with the strong personalities.
I almost want to believe this guy saw how similar he was to the photos and how famous the shooter was getting and decided to take the fall by wandering around in public with some incriminating circumstantial evidence until someone reported him so he could take the credit.
