Why would the real killer have claimed responsibility? That’s assuming the vigilante is serial killer adjacent and was aiming for notoriety thwarting police by killing CEOs instead of normal people.
And why are you assuming that the cabal of rich dickheads could have apprehended the real killer but chose Luigi regardless? Instead of having no reliable suspect and being given a effigy to burn publicly because of a call-in and an over-eager (and corrupt), local police force?
Conspiracies make people feel smart and special, like they know THE TRUTH about something that everyone else isn’t aware of. The real world is more straight forward and not a spy thriller. He did it, and he’s a damn saints for doing it
Then why hasnt he said they got the wrong guy? Hes playing the legal game now, has nothing to do with guilt or innocence. It also doesnt matter if the cops planted the gun, they mishandled the bag and recorded too much of what happened.
I haven’t heard much out of Luigi at all (although I admit, I’m not paying that much attention). Sounds to me like he’s just keeping his mouth shut in general and letting his lawyer do the talking. Which is just solid advice for the US legal system.
He’s mostly been busy shutting the fuck up, like you’re supposed to do when you’re on trial, but I think this counts:
“It’s completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience!” - 10 December 2024. This statement was explained by Mangione’s lawyer as the result of him being “agitated about what’s happening to him and what he’s being accused of.”
Which it is, in fact, an insult to the American people to expect us to believe he’s guilty. If I had a nickel for every massively publicized national trial involving rampant police corruption and planting of evidence, I’d have two nickels, one from OJ Simpson and one from Luigi. If I had a nickel for every time it actually happened without being broadcast to the nation I’d be able to buy Twitter with them.
Well, OJ killed his wife and her lover, and Luigi killed that CEO. I will say that he has a fantastic lawyer but hes lucky he didnt say anything more specific than that.
They’re not letting him near the press. The one thing we’ve heard from him as they shoved him against a wall in front of cameras was that they planted stuff on him.
I’m not saying he’s definitely innocent. I’m saying I’m unconvinced by the evidence presented pre trial. In fact that’s what I’m supposed to think as an American. I think I’m going to try to foster thst thought process further in the future even with those accused of other crimes. Our culture has gotten too comfortable taking cops at their words despite knowing they lie
Oh look, a nonAmerican who seems to be unfamiliar with how corrupt American police are, and for some reason seems to think that they know enough to tell everyone to trust the narrative that the police are pushing, despite the blatant holes in their story.

Okay, nice move: in one play, an oblique dig at my intelligence and dismissing valid questions out of hand without addressing anything.
It isn’t a spy thriller for cops to grab the wrong guy to quickly close a case. It happens to black people all the time.

He shouted at reporters that this was an insult to intelligence of the american people. Not very conclusive either way, but since you hadn’t heard.
You’re right, I did hear something similar to that before.

That’s his lawyer’s job. That’s what they’re doing right fucking now.

So exactly what you’re doing being contrarian in this thread…
Y’all are nuts. Then again im arguing with a bunch of Americans who think they got it all figured out
