The other inmates calling for them to free him is fucking great. Them doing an interview with the inmates yelling out the window is fantastic.

I posted a thread with the actual interview on the political videos community.

[-] naught101@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

That's a wild interview. Surprised the prison guards didn't come out and tell them to leave.

"Through flashing lights and shouts, they communicated the prison conditions of their fellow inmate"

The criminals inside the jail working together for justice. The state is really dropping the mask off.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 50 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Inmates, current and former, have been trying to tell us about prison conditions for a long time. It just gets brushed off as "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time" by the same people who setup our health insurance system and keep the stock market line going up at the expense of the food on your table. Not to mention the mountain of evidence about police being able to put any normal person in prison for crimes such as, "walking in a car town, walking while black, breathing while homeless, and refusing a search of your car" I mean there's just so many ways to say Resisting Arrest.

But yeah, we probably should listen to them, they might have a few points.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

I think only few countries on entire planet whose prison systems are made to prevent crimes by solving people's problems instead of keeping them criminals by worsening them.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Yeah that's the unfortunate truth. And in the US it's definitely a system that looks for people to victimize, there are financial and political incentives to doing so. We're not going to solve it in the short term but the first step has got to be a wide realization that something is wrong there.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 21 points 6 days ago

Just because someone is in jail or prison doesn't make them a criminal, especially in the US. Dont make assumptions. They're all prisoners and inmates.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 217 points 6 days ago

But I was assured by Fox news that he would be eaten alive by the other inmates.

[-] zib@lemmy.world 178 points 6 days ago

As we all know, convicts are famously known for being supportive of corporate executives and the healthcare industry.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 57 points 6 days ago

The criminals who rule us are for sure

Fox news has always had a finger on the pulse of the working class and inmates /s

[-] 3ntranced@lemmy.world 32 points 6 days ago

My dad was watching Fox last night and Laura Ingrams whole WEALTHY&RADICALIZED Segment was the most retarded thing I've ever sat through. Now I'm a red leaning voter but to me fox is as Mainstream media as the rest so I don't buy any of their shtick.

I was dying with her unmoving botoxed face talk about how "Mangioni is a rich elite who was brainwashed by Ivy League schools" then bring on a Republican from a different Ivy league school and praise him for shaming Luigi.

At some moments I swear you could see gears and cogs turning in her head to come up with a cohesive sentence.

I highly recommend everyone read Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy. The total cluster fuck that happened to the inmates and the officers should show how the government and prison system feels about everyone.

Free Luigi! He didn't to it, but if he did I would still vote for him on the next presidential election because that's where we are now. One more presidential requirement...must be a criminal.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

I think he should be freed even though he's innocent

[-] uis@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

He can run on platform of radical reduction of inequality

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

He should be fast tracked politically to run for future President of the USA after a pardon of state and federal charges. We already have a felon fraudulent rapist POTUS, why not a murderer.

[-] Juice@midwest.social 7 points 5 days ago

Pretty sure we've had presidents who killed people before, like wasn't murdering Indians Andrew Jackson's whole campaign platform?

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Yeah pretty much. The Trail of Tears or more aptly put as the Cherokee genocide is without a doubt one of the greatest stains in US history.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 53 points 6 days ago

What's the opposite of getting shanked because the other inmates find out you're in for csam?

[-] nebulaone@lemmy.world 64 points 6 days ago

Jump in a green pipe or find a warp whistle, Luigi.

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago

I bet if he can jump up to the roof he can just skip the whole level.

[-] nebulaone@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Oh yeah, a cape or clipping through a wall is also a great idea. Needs frame perfect movement, though.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

Or he could just type "tcl" into the console and walk through the sky!

Oops, wrong genre 😁

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 67 points 6 days ago
[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 114 points 6 days ago

Nah, he doesn't have info that'll expose/hurt anyone else and if they kill him he'll be a martyr and even more of an icon than he already is, "they" absolutely don't want that.

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 40 points 6 days ago

I think making him look insane serves their purposes better, and letting him live only presents an opportunity for him to speak and maybe say something people could rally behind. That seems more threatening than making yet another martyr that’ll just get thrown on the pile with all the others.

[-] ramsorge@discuss.online 22 points 6 days ago

That wont end well.

[-] b161 14 points 6 days ago

If they kill him there will likely be riots and copycats.

[-] WaistGunnerPug@lemmy.world 30 points 6 days ago

Anyone know how to put money on his books?

[-] ClanOfTheOcho@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

If you're serious, there are a few different organizations that can handle the money transfer for you. Here are the instructions for MoneyGram. You'll need to wait for him to get into the prison databases to get his id number.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago

I think USSA probably has its own version of OVD Info.
