Luigi Mangione

This has to be assuming that his "manifesto" or whatever the hell you want to call it is fake right? I mean that thing alone puts him in a very tricky spot. Surely not enough to convict on alone on but that's a super strong piece of evidence linking him directly to the incident.

He was also apprehended with matching clothes and a matching weapon. His social media stuff corroborates a motive as well. Unless all of that is fake or planted as well which I figure is the entire purpose of the not guilty plea. Not so much a "I didn't do it," but more so "prove I did it."

Edit: I heard he plead guilty which is not the case. A lot of what I say presumes that was how he plead. Leaving up my comments for completeness of record.

Naw, and I def agree we're all just armchair lawyering until the case actually hits court.

But I've seen the video camera footage. Someone definitely shot and killed the United Health CEO. It seems a logical conclusion (based on what's come out PLUS LUIGI PLEADING GUILTY) that Luigi did the act.

To argue that it wasn't him in that video feels the same as arguing that the guy we need to be supporting is still at large (and thusly the supportive sentiment online should be sent to someone else).

I feel like there's a logical gap here. Either he did it and deserves support for taking out a petty oligarch, or he didn't do it and there's a hero still out there in hiding. It doesn't seem.like this community is arguing for that latter option.

Am I missing something here?

Edit: just saw your down thread comment. So it sounds like you're thinking this was some kind of glowie op? I've actually not heard anything to that effect. Can you explain how you think that all came together? I'm genuinely curious.

Def support him getting the money for a strong defense. Justice is a process, and the prosecution needs to be held to accounts if they try to sidestep any rules / try to rush this through.

I'd buy the most of the rest of the evidence being circumstantial, but, man, the guy plead guilty.

But even if it wasn't Luigi that shot that CEO, doesnt this change him from a Folk Hero to just some guy who was falsely accused?

Like, it feels like some people in this thread are saying "he's a hero of the people for disposing a petty oligarch" and also "he didn't actually kill anyone; the guy in the video could've been anyone". Those two statements don't seem to logically follow.
