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.
Brian Thompson obviously killed himself.
Release the Thompson files!
And by that I mean: Promise to release the files for years and then decide no one should be prosecuted and say “why is everyone still talking about that guy?”
The guy that was gunned down by someone was Evil Healthcare Prick.
It is impressive how scared the wealthy elite are of this man and what he did.
He must be aquitted so they finally understand they’re not untouchable. Someone might kill them for the shit they pull.
It wasn’t him though
Source?
Brian Thompson had a copy of the Epstein files, and somehow those make people die by suicide.
close the UHC/ uhg was under investigation for insider trading, witty and hemsely both did not even bat an eye when he died.
Look at the security cam footage it’s clearly a different person
Dude, Luigi and I were playing twisted metal black that afternoon.
Nah, man. Luigi was playing Minecraft with me.
Yea sure
I’m asking seriously
You got a source that it was him? Legal process still isn’t over, no verdict to point to yet.
I’m pretty sure he is the only suspect, and evidence was found in that regard
He also doesn’t seem the act as if he was innocent
Still the only one in the US with balls it seems.
The rest is still busy with interpretative dance, making placards to carry around while having a stroll and determined to vote harder next time.let me know when you start adding to your body count
No need, I don’t live in the banana republic.
Oh, you must live in one of those countries which the spectre of capitalism doesn’t threaten the very fabric of society. Which planet is that on again?
Not everywhere has it to a degree where healthcare is witheld from you when it’s not profitable/ even a small medical procedure ends in financial ruin. Not everywhere has “we need to have guns to prevent opression”
Capitalism doesn’t hold a candle to other institutions when it comes to ruining a nation.
Importing mistrust of institutions from other countries is doing that work.
Thanks for contributing substance to the conversation.
/s
It’s perfectly valid to both mock and criticise a foreign nation. Just like burgers are free to ignore it for any or no reason.
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.
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.
I’d have thought they’d want him dead for all to see. See what happens when you touch an untouchable.
It’s the sort of thing that could spark a full blown revolution though. Capitalists aren’t known for their love of change.
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 …
Luigi didn’t do it though. He’s being set up by the prosecution.
Source? It sounds like a conspiracy theory based on nothing
What indicates that would be the case? Who would be the murderer?
There was no murderer. He died of natural causes
After all, shootings are just a natural part of life.
What’s up with the misinformation and low effort trolls regarding this topic?
It’s satire based on the types of things the rich and powerful say to get away with stuff on a regular basis. The guy he allegedly killed had allegedly killed thousands through the policies he intentionally put in place, that were defended with similar language.
Thanks
I believe not helping/providing service to people in need of help is a lot less worse than killing people directly
The guy was probably a massive dick but glorifying his death and the killer is wild
Well look at it this way, the guy that got shot indirectly killed thousands and made a lot more peoples lives miserable through needless suffering and financial ruin, the guy who shot him killed one, in an attempt to stop the indirect killing. The first reaction of the company the guy that got shot worked for was to allow compensation for medical claims more easily (“rectified” since, but a bunch of people got essential help early in) therefore the shooter saved a lot more people than he killed. So why would anyone not glorify the killing as it was a net win.
No there are certain individuals in life who we are far better off without. Normalize killing exceptionally evil people
You think that not helping someone up who is clinging onto the edge of a cliff, about to fall and die, is not as bad as pushing them off?
Sure, its not my fault that they are holding on, about to fall. I didn’t put them in that situation. But here i am, fully able to save them, nobody else around to do it instead of me. Do you think that i am less guilty of killing them if i refuse to help them?
Heck, they are even paying me money every month to ensure i dont fall off cliffs. They will even have to pay some of the money it costs me to pull them up from the edge.
Think about what you are saying mate… thats fucking ridiculous.
Nah. They’re the same type to poison us all while laughing on the way to the bank. Fuck em
Defending a mass murderer who did it for profit is wilder
I haven’t come across that. Do you have examples?
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 you mean breakfast
You’re thinking of dinner. A diner is a place that serves food.
You’re getting warmer.
Did someone light a match? Is he being cremated?
I think the guy he killed
Allegedly 😉
Downvoted only for the winky face. I earnestly believe the guy is innocent and unrelated
Oh right, let me correct my wording.
Thanks.
Deadweight
I’m pretty sure it was Bob. Or Brad. Billy? Bitchass! Yes it was definitely Bitchass.
He’s the future highest profile instance of jury nulification.
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.
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.
This must be a taxing and mentally draining process for all the grown ups in the room.
apparently they take an ENORMOUS amount of time choosing jurors, thats why people hate jury duty. its worst if its grand juries.
retirees? like the ones that spend half their time in a hospital room? paying 300$ for bandaids?
i assume those in white collar work that retire earlier than 65, also govt employees are more likely to get selected.
I know old people that defend healthcare companies unfortunately. “Well this one isn’t nearly as bad as the others”. Give me a break.
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
CB radio - like “breaker breaker 1 9”?
Damn. We are in CB culture again? My Dad did some Outlaw trucking in the 70’s when Teamsters were on strike. No specifics but CB’s & Trucker culture evaded a ton of trophies for all the “Old Smokies”.
I think his name was Scumbag McFuckhead or something like that.
Does he have a grave? Would be ashame to let a good outhouse to go to waste
I think it was something like that. Or probably very similar.🙌
He prolly didn’t even do it but who ever did do it, did the right thing
I’ve been saying the entire time they have the wrong guy.
Especially since I was hanging out with Luigi all evening and into the morning, during the time he allegedly was killing some guy.
Clearly he couldn’t have done it, we were hanging out.
I still don’t think it’s even Luigi that did it. Looks nothing like the guy from the video
Im not even sure I trust that video. It has artifacts that make it look doctored to me.
Classic oligarchs, pinning their crimes on the underprivileged…
Rich white males from prestigious families? Hang on, wait a minute.
That’s a fair point but it is the state’ job to prove their case to throw a jury and their dragging feet and doing fucky shit. After spending a month or two litigating the case in media.
They acted like it was a proven fact that he did it… They gonna need to convince the public now beyond chain of trust me bros
TBF there is a lot of evidence against him, such as his social media history, book reviews about how “protesting doesn’t work”, the murder weapon and bag full of $20k, complete lack of alibi, and his traveling in the opposite direction of the crime discreetly by hopping bus to bus.
That’s circumstantial
Also, the conviction starter pack backpack is likely tainted and or planted.
We don’t if has a alibi as of now
Finally, the state has to prove that he actually did the job.
Planted or otherwise the evidence against him is overwhelming.
You drinking too much koolaid that government was selling on fake news.
Since when people around here started trusting police and government lol
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
Wealthy* People v. Mangione
FTFY
lol “people vs mangione” more like people & mangione vs the corrupt & evil
magione’s people vs STATE OF NEW YORK
Law enforcement vs Mangione.
The people want him freed. 🖕
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.
because alleged criminals are prosecuted by the State on behalf of the People. Public opinion doesn’t really factor into it.
People on Lemmy, sure. But talk to your boomer neighbors and they’ll all say he’s a terrorist.
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.
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.
Are you able to extrapolate a little more, that sounds interesting
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 heard about that early on in dec too.
Issues with the way he was apprehended? I am just shocked.
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.

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.
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.
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.
