This story seems to have faded in the wake of events ad nauseam. We are all aware of Senor Luigi. However, most folks can’t recall the full name of the guy that allegedly Luigi gunned down. Mission accomplished.

Nothing's happened, that's why. His next court date is:

Tuesday, 9/16, 9 a.m.: People v. Mangione (NY State), 100 Centre Street, Part 32, New York, NY 10013

[-] thelivefive@startrek.website 79 points 2 months ago

I know it's just how the courts work but how can it be the people vs him when the people seem to support him. The state vs maybe.

[-] shplane@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

People on Lemmy, sure. But talk to your boomer neighbors and they’ll all say he’s a terrorist.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago

they all got redirected by the MSMs. there is big support him on other social media, but onl boomers and Xers watch cnn and fox, so they are against him.

[-] NOFF@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

because alleged criminals are prosecuted by the State on behalf of the People. Public opinion doesn't really factor into it.

[-] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 47 points 2 months ago

lol “people vs mangione” more like people & mangione vs the corrupt & evil

Nobody really cares about the guy who died, despite corporate media insisting on our sympathy for months. They figured out we can't be fucked about the sorry sonofabitch, so they're hoping we forget about the whole business while trying to censor talk of LM off of all major social media platforms. Sure does help that so much news and social media are owned by the same fuckers.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Corporations already forgot about the dead CEO shortly after they replaced him and the new guy presided over stock value decreases and lowered forecasts. The only people that care now is the press looking to generate views with sensational news and district attorneys or AG’s trying to please their wealthy overlords for reelection.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

the head ceo witty and hemsely sure dint care either. one of the reason is that UHG was under insider trading investigation, and thompson posed a potential threat to them.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I'm still not sold that LM is the real perp tbh, it's too tidy. Also his manifesto looked like it was written in about five minutes.

[-] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 97 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's the guy responsible for fixing most of the bugs in civ VI. And there is evidence he did that.

He's also been baselessly accused of shooting some twat. So the federal prosecution is waiting for people to forget about him so they can drag him through a kangaroo court and murder him for political reasons.

[-] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

I'd have thought they'd want him dead for all to see. See what happens when you touch an untouchable.

[-] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

It's the sort of thing that could spark a full blown revolution though. Capitalists aren't known for their love of change.

[-] Rusty@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

We need more people like Luigi. I mean both people who can fix bugs in Civ VII and people who can fix bugs in american healthcare system.

[-] Makeshift@sh.itjust.works 75 points 2 months ago

I don't watch mainstream media, but Status Coup News does follow his case and updates when something happens.

From what I understand, lawyers found a major issue with how he was apprehended. Apparently he wasn't read his rights before they started taking action, so a fair bit of evidence they have against him may need to be thrown out.

Also they decided to pursue the death penalty way too fast, among other injustices.

[-] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 10 points 2 months ago

Issues with the way he was apprehended? I am just shocked.

[-] Krudler@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Are you able to extrapolate a little more, that sounds interesting

[-] Bahnd@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

There is a general lack of body-cam footage to back up the cops follwing procedures and the timing of evidence being collected is suspect at best.

Overall, there are enough holes in the narrative that was reported to the media that luigi being a scapegoat is not an unreasonable stance.

I still don’t think it’s even Luigi that did it. Looks nothing like the guy from the video

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 27 points 2 months ago

Im not even sure I trust that video. It has artifacts that make it look doctored to me.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago

Takes a while to get a jury together. The legal system is very slow, even in easy cases; and trying to find an unbiased jury makes it even harder.

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

There will be no truly unbiased jury, this is way too public and polarizing

Fucking CB radio featured Luigi and that's an impenetrable subculture

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

they will go through a ton of jurors before they will seat one. they needs one dumb enough to be swayed easily by either side. both the defendant and prosecutors are only limited to amount of jurors that strike from a group during jury summons, so they are looking at biases for him and remove them. what they really want is the ones that dont read the news much, or retireers.

[-] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago

This must be a taxing and mentally draining process for all the grown ups in the room.

retirees? like the ones that spend half their time in a hospital room? paying 300$ for bandaids?

I think the guy he allegedly killed, had a name that started with.... I think it was a d? David? Derek? Dddddouchebag. Douchebag, yeah. I think the person that died was a massive douchebag.

That seems right to me ....

[-] mambabasa@slrpnk.net 45 points 2 months ago

Luigi didn't do it though. He's being set up by the prosecution.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago

I know, I was certainly spending time with him during the alleged attack. He couldn't have done it while sat across from me at that diner, many miles away from where the crime happened.

I think the guy he killed

Allegedly 😉

[-] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago

Downvoted only for the winky face. I earnestly believe the guy is innocent and unrelated

Signor Luigi. Señor Luis.

[-] J92@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

He's the future highest profile instance of jury nulification.

[-] dumbass@quokk.au 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think his name was Scumbag McFuckhead or something like that.

[-] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

I think it was something like that. Or probably very similar.🙌

[-] zbyte64@awful.systems 3 points 1 month ago

Does he have a grave? Would be ashame to let a good outhouse to go to waste
