Seems like the cops planted all that evidence, not guilty

[–] halcyoncmdr 131 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even if they didn't plant it. If they fucked up the arrest and search, the evidence may not be admissible in court at all.

That would explain why they want to get anything related to it out in public any other way they can, like interviews and pseudo-documentary bullshit before even providing related materials to the defense team.

Nah, I've seen enough here, dismissed with prejudice!

Fruit of the poison tree, if they can prove it.

Why does he need a vest? This is the first thing both the left and right have agreed on in a long time.

[–] Death_Equity 61 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The vest is bullet and stab resistant, they make violent offenders wear them in case somebody wants to hurt them.

Funny, because nobody wants to kill him. He is more likely to get a pat on the back than a bullet to the back.

[–] halcyoncmdr 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's exactly the point. They're trying to make it look like people want to kill him. So those that are just following the headlines and pictures make certain assumptions.

Protect him from the crossfire in case an acorn falls nearby.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

I get that reference. Holy shit!

[–] AbidanYre 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hey man, a pat on the back almost killed Rudy.

[–] Death_Equity 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's because he is so fragile that he melts in a warm environment, as observed.

[–] baldingpudenda 7 points 21 hours ago

For the record

Protection from the elite class

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's a few billionaires in New York who might want to take a shot at him?

[–] robbinhood 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Actually I doubt even the rich would take a shot at him. It'd make him a martyr.

If someone did take a shot, it'd probably be a fame seeker or someone with personal connections to the CEO.

[–] ArgentRaven 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Certainly not his estranged family that didn't even live with him. Typical CEO behavior, pursuing profit over his own family relationships. What a miserable way to live.

[–] robbinhood 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Didn't realize he was estranged with his family. Not surprised to hear that tho because yeah a lot of these guys psychos/sociopaths

[–] Zron 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You didn’t notice they only had one photo of the bastard? And it looked like a corporate lobby photo?

No photos with his wife and kid. No photos of him with friends or other family. Just the one picture like he’s posing for a yearbook.

[–] robbinhood 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I never really looked into the guy tbh. Pretty sure I saw the wife release some statement about how shocked and sad she was and that was as deep as I got.

[–] halcyoncmdr 1 points 12 hours ago

Exactly. A prepared statement of what is expected, then nothing else. That's what you do when you don't actually care, but are supposed to.

Luigi Mangione’s next scheduled court date is June 26, 2025. It is unclear if Luigi will appear for his Pennsylvania court hearings and there are currently no appearances scheduled for his federal case. If he is indicted on his federal charges, he will appear in person to be arraigned.

I kinda hope Luigi being declared guilty cause a George floyd-esque public response.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A judge could give the same sentence as Trump: nothing, because he has important work to do and can't be bogged down by things like prison, probation, or fines. There's precedent now.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yep, I guess he just needs to run for President and then killing healthcare CEOs is an official act and legal, according to the Supreme Court.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh shit that's right! Luigi 2028 has my support. Even if all he does is seize the assets of the most notoriously unethical CEOs we'd be 1000X better off than now. Make robber barons afraid dammit.

[–] Paddzr 12 points 1 day ago

The bar is very low:

Is he a Nazi? Is he Putin's bitch?

No? Perfect!
