Prosecutors highlighted “about $10,000 — $8,000 in U.S. dollars and then $2,000 in foreign currency that was found on his person,” CNN correspondent Danny Freeman said following the court hearing.
“Also they said that he had a Faraday bag,” which blocks cell signals, a move that prosecutors alleged marked “an indication of criminal sophistication and reason they should hold him on bail,” Freeman continued.
After prosecutors made the claims, Mangione said he would like to “correct two things.”
“I don’t know where any of that money came from — I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication,” the suspect said in a statement that suggested police framed him.
No, but it’s the same sort of pattern that you see in mass shooters.
Disaffected young men. Educated, but with minimal meaningful job prospects. Little to no family, or no close ties.
The sort of young man who wouldn’t mind dying, or killing, for a cause, even if that cause is just gaining people’s attention.
In the US, those sorts of young men do all sorts of things, many live productive lives. But almost every single mass shooter is one of those young men. Luigi is one of those young men, That’s why the comparison is apt.
He just decided to kill a rich asshole instead of a bunch of randos. All because his particular radicalization was via pain instead of the usual right wing internet removeds.
It’s almost like society is getting more dangerous for everyone cause we’re letting young men become disaffected.
It’s their privilege that allows them to act out in a violent manner.
Howzat three letter paycheck? Or do you suck that short ripoff for your sole and a lying crock or righteousness?
Uhh, thank you but we have plenty of fresh towels.
Then why the fuck do you think this is being so regularly used by such regular travelers of space and time, newbie? LOL.
Yeah, those are in short supply.
