The attack on the 50-year-old executive—allegedly by the now 27-year-old Luigi Mangione—immediately sparked an outpouring of public fury not at the gunman, but at UnitedHealthcare itself.

      This Luigi didn’t do it thing is so odd, and yes I’ve seen the photos, you would be amazed at how body hairs vanish depending on camera type, lighting and resolution.

      I for one am of the proud opinion that Luigi did it and he’s a god damn hero for it. He did it and praise be to Luigi, i wish more of us had his courage

        Makes a ghost gun. Keeps it, doesn’t dispose of it. Walks around in public with said gun on his person, as well as a “manifesto.” Gets “caught” because of his fake id that a McDonald’s cashier clocked.

        Yeah. He totally did it.

        And I am a proud believer that he is innocent, that police officer absolutely planted a gun in his backpack, with their body camera off.

            That’s because you don’t appear to understand what this is about.

            This ain’t about the killer, this is about sending a message to the plebs. Attack on one of their own will result in owner class using full power of the state. They are letting us know they are in charge, public opinion is making them uncomfortable and they are acting erratic. At this point I am assuming that the police botched the evidence spooks collected for them.

                This is has nothing to do with believing. The state has to prove he did it to a jury and they need the public to accept the verdict. They have done neither so far.

                Luigi pled not guilty, wtf is u talking about?

                Then why was he yelling “It’s completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and the lived experience!” on his way to arraignment? What’s your mom’s opinion on the matter…?

                  That to me sounds like a man justifying what he did. Generally “im innocent! Help! Im a scapegoat!” Would be what someone would say. Again Luigi himself doesn’t deny he was the shooter. This “nobody was the shooter” conspiracy is so weird. And again, there’s no debating or discussion with someone who’s position is “everything everyone says is a lie and a cover up, except for what me and my beliefs say” It’s very culty, not really based on fact, just emotion and mistrust.

                  Overall my message is , stop shit talking Luigi and trying to claim nothing happened. Instead exalt the man for his courage and for his determination. You guys are trying to make him look like a little bitch

            That requires having the real killer.

            If they dont’t, pinning the whole thing on an innocent guy and making a sbow out of how they crack down on him absolutely makes sense, in the evil machiavellian way that it is.

            The goal is to discourage more people from doing it because they know that they are weaker than even a small set of the population organizing a resistance against them.

            Authoritarians, and you have to be one to be capitalist, live in constant fear of the ordinary people and they will keep escalating violence as they fear dissent to grow.

            Did you miss the Marvel Studios-produced perp walk starring recently embattled but mysteriously unhooked NYC mayor Eric Adams?
