Luigi Mangione? I haven't heard that name since he saved my life, here in North Carolina, same day as that United Healthcare guy keeled over from a heart attack

[–] taanegl@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago

No, can't be. At that time I saw him singlehandedly organizing the "Save The Puppies" program, where he would stand on top of a bridge and as some psycho drove by with a sack full of puppies to throw over he would dive bare chested into the cold, cold water and swim the puppies back to shore stacked on top of his head.

What about the CEO? I heard he broke his neck trying to suck his own cock.

I heard the united healthcare guy died of spinal trauma but it may have been pre-existing condition

If so, it probably wasn’t covered by UHC.

[–] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 10 points 18 hours ago

Maybe he can plead guilty and have zero jail time, like Steve.

Luigi looks like he's about to drop the most 🔥 rap album of 2025 in that photo.

Eric Adams was flexing his bootlicking muscle.

Free Luigi, DDD

Woah woah woah, slow it down, we don't know if it was murder yet. For all we know it was self defence.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Even if he did do it, it looked like a clear cut case of self defense. Brian was coming right for his throat.

But also, there wasn't a shooter. If you watch the video, Brian trips and falls on his own gun, shooting himself in the back 3 times

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

I saw a man heroically trying to divert the trajectory of the gun barrel. Pulling it back multiple times.

Exactly. The media—and people as a whole—need to stop automatically assuming he's the killer. Even those who support him are still acting like he's the one who did it. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Agreed. The shooter was smart enough to ditch the backpack. Why wouldn’t the gun be in it?

Wait a minute… if it was, then the cops would have it, but if they told everyone it was in the backpack they wouldn’t have it to plant on some sap. But the cops would never mishandle evidence, would they? 🤔

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

He's the wrong guy entirely. His build doesn't look like those earlier NYPD photos showing the dude actually shooting the other dude. Not-Guilty. I think the NYPD picked up the wrong guy on purpose as an, "oops, I guess it's a cold case now."

Jury nullification would send a very powerful message .

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 25 points 1 day ago

Also the law doesn't matter anymore anyway, so nobody should vote to convict because they're concerned about the rule of law.

In response to hearing about your 10,000+ individual donations, averaging under $30

So if that doesn’t send a message, maybe another CEO to spell it out?
