Moments after Luigi Mangione was handcuffed at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, a police officer searching his backpack found a loaded gun magazine wrapped in a pair of underwear.
The discovery, recounted in court Monday as Mangione fights to keep evidence out of his New York murder case, convinced police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that he was the man wanted in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan five days earlier.
this is like OJ all over again, police so corrupt and incompetent they feel the need to fake evidence on someone whose guilty.
hope he gets off scot free whether he did it or not, as clearly these parasite CEO’s need to fear for their lifes to act like decent humans
Whoa whoa whoa, why are you so comfortable assuming he’s guilty? As far as I’m concerned he’s a free man being prosecuted by the biggest gang in NY.
It’s important to keep in mind that Luigi is exactly the type of person that the police would try to pin this on. It’s so easy to see how it could happen. The NYPD had a high profile murder of a wealthy CEO to deal with. The NYPD leaders had politicians and corporate leaders breathing down their necks, demanding this case be solved immediately. And at the same time, the suspect seemingly made a perfectly planned getaway and had disappeared. This kind of thing has happened countless times in history. Have a high profile case that simply must be solved? Find some undesirable to pin it on. Ideally this is someone who is already dead, maybe someone who recently killed themselves. You don’t have to prove guilty beyond a reasonable doubt if you blame the crime on a corpse. But if a suitable dead person isn’t available, then a living person can do in a pinch.
If you want to pin a crime on someone, you find someone who resembles the suspect and also isn’t someone with a lot of social respect or clout. Homeless people are classic targets. And Luigi was a queer kid, out of contact with his family for months, living in a youth hostel. He is the exact type of person the NYPD would choose if they were looking for someone to pin this on. I’m sure they would try to pin it on a black person if they could, but the person they chose had to at least have some visual resemblance to the person on the security footage.
huh, thought Luigi was just some nepo baby who finally became jaded and class conscious
regardless…i want to be very clear here, i really don’t care if he did or didn’t do it. some people will only do the right thing when they feel personally threatened, these types of people are overwhelming represented within the C-suite type of business-class…so fuck em. hope he gets off even if he did do it
