I'd go see a live street performance or two.

Before I want to see it. Does the play maintain the fact that Luigi is only alleged at this point? Or do they just assume he did the adjusting?

[-] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Luigi Mangione probably is some random patsy the state chose. But he might represent in the play the real killer, whose identity we'll probably never know.

They could have called his character John Doe but this is entertainment, not reality.

The way you worded this it sounds like you're speculating? Do you know the play and how it represents it?

Your explanation could work as well as there are other ways I could see it represented fairly, but what does the play actually do?

[-] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

In a related article they mention the play is a few prisoners including Luigi reflecting on their crimes in a comical absurdist manner. The play assumes Luigi is guilty, which is a false assumption as he is literally not.

What does the court do in cases where the whole state knows about the trial? I would assume it would be hard to find unbiased people.

You know shit is fucked up when they make musicals about murderers.

Alleged

[-] artyom@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago

Well, I'm sure it's about the person who killed healthcare CEO, whoever that person is, not necessarily Luigi.

[-] TherapyGary 16 points 2 days ago

The footage was doctored; the CEOs body actually just did that- no killer

[-] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

The CEO was the murderer.

[-] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Oh so they weren't murdered? They shot themselves on a NYC street?

[-] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 days ago

He's as much a murderer as you, e.g. not a murderer. Neither of you have been convicted of murder.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 days ago

I thought it was about Luigi, not the CEO of United Healthcare.

Sweeney Todd

This is the greatest one word rebuttal I think I'll ever see

If you'd have been there, if you had seen it, I betcha you would have done the same!

[-] brightandshinyobject@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

May introduce you to Sweeny Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street?

[-] KingOfSleep@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Then shits been fucked up for centuries.
