Luigi Mangione shouts a message to the American people on his way to court:
“This is completely unjust and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience.”
Please stay alive, Luigi. Regardless of whether what you did is right or wrong, and whether you actually did it or not, everyone needs you there (including both prosecutors and your defense).
Keep your message consistent, and any correspondence with the courts and police vetted by a lawyer so that it doesn’t get misconstrued.
Please have someone you trust by your side 24/7 or a live feed at this point. Please report any detainment conditions that might intentionally drive someone towards self-harm to the public. People everywhere are counting on you.
Epstein was killed because he knew things and was still a threat to the rich. Luigi doesn’t have anything to say that would hurt the rich anymore. In fact, killing him in prison would be incredibly short sighted by the rich - they need to stop the rest of us from mobilizing in his honor - which killing him out of revenge would not accomplish. The same news sources that tried to make us care about the evil assassin and helpless CEO will now try to character assassinate Luigi and make him a pariah. He can’t galvanized a generation if he’s a weirdo.
I agree they are already desperately trying to paint him as a bad person, but so far it had the opposite effect. They will probably come up with some definitely not made up “revelations” about him soon.
There was already an article about him playing Among Us, and how he would play as the “assassin”.
Sooooo… They are already trying, even with the dumbest shit.
What he did was right. Yes, much like how Hitler’s death would’ve been sad for Eva Braun had she still been alive, Brian Thompson’s death is sad for those who survive him, but the world is a brighter place for it.
I think they want to go through this as quick as possible, so they can lock him forever out of sight so people start forgetting. Kind of what they did with the Unabomber, although here people side more with Luigi, so who knows.
The absurdity of this guy getting a court hearing a day after his arrest, and Trump getting slow walked through all of his indictments over the course of four years is overwhelming.
You can tell who is really in charge when the system is so scared of this guy and his message that they feel the need to put him away as fast as possible while the media drags him through the mud along the way. The oligarchs are scared.
I think they could go through it, since one version of what is alledgedly his manifesto suggests he was not intending to make federal investigators’ jobs difficult so more or less willingly gets caught? I’m not sure. But I won’t forget, at least with my efforts to prevent corporate-owned healthcare from seepjng further into Canada.
As citizens we can respectfully request the ACLU and NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund to get involved to ensure his human rights aren’t violated and he stays safe.
It’ll be harder for bad things to happen to him with non corrupt watch dog agencies keeping and eye on things and hopefully showing up in person to see he’s okay.
Might as well empower the few agencies who have our backs while we’re at it. Attention to prison reform is a good thing that can grow out of this too.
Edit - adding the aclu website link with the contact us page. I’m pretty sure we have to select Pennsylvania and contact the branch closest to Luigi.
They don’t want him in front of a jury.
Regardless if it’s him or not. They cannot afford him to get acquitted.
But they can’t martyr him. That will be a death sentence to the US.
This isn’t going to end well for anyone. This guy has shown a much darker picture of the US to us that we all know too well.
Imho, as painful as it is, avoiding an economic civil war at this point does more harm than good over time. It kicks the can down the road until their side exclusively can use humanoid robots to fight their battles for them, and that just means get in line and die until collapse.
The alternative is even darker, our non-wealthy children being judged by AI as to whether the potential profit/loss of healing them is greater or less than their remaining projected exploitation value to the owners.
And that’s just in Healthcare. Our entire economy has become this sociopathic.
This is silent slaughter. No one should confuse quiet with peace. We haven’t had peace for a long time.
They don’t care if only the top 5% is free on the backs of the 95%, they don’t see the bottom 95% as human at all. I don’t think society should continue under that bargain. It isn’t worth it. No one is free until everyone is.
This is silent slaughter. No one should confuse quiet with peace. We haven’t had peace for a long time.
“True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” – MLK Jr.
Reminder that MLK was silenced because he was getting further into advocating economic equity, a bridge too far.
I think the FBI killed him. It’s an objective matter of historical record they tried to blackmail him into committing suicide.
Our entire economy has become this sociopathic.
I don’t think that it has recently become sociopathic. It was certainly much worse in the past with the genocide of the Americas and slavery of Africans. I would argue that the ethics of the economy have improved, but the general public has become increasingly aware of how unjust it is.
Our economy was most fair when Unions had some power. From the 50s to the 70s, there was a corrupt equilibrium when Conservatives were bribed by business and liberals were bribed by unions, until they were convinced to take the larger corporate bribe checks and joined the owner movement to undermine unions. Today’s neoliberals. That is when, at least on economic policy, we effectively lost our vote. Then we lost our protest with designated protest zones out of the eyelines and profit operations of those being protested, which is effectively masturbation.
I think it’s inevitable when you don’t inflict close to 100% enforced taxation above ludicrous levels of wealth accumulation. Because wealth at a certain level beyond material desires becomes power. Society warping levels of power, power to warp public opinion through media and captured education, power to neuter your own regulators through bribed politicians passing legislation written by the owners themselves(see ALEC), and no one should have such unelected power.
No one.
Part of the reason we know it’s gotten this bad, closer to a return to the 1920s with child labor on the rise, is because there were some less unfair decades, and it’s no surprise those decades came in the wake of the owner class created great depression.
Now people watch wealthy people like the Kardashians as role models, when they should spit onto the street in disgust when such people walk by. Greed hurts people. Greed is a blight, a personal failing we’ve been propagandized to nurture.
If you can’t be happy only making enough for 2 big houses and 1 regular yacht and to indulge your hobbies for the century give or take you’ll be alive, you’re broken inside, and need mental healthcare, not enablers for your God complex.
. I would argue that the ethics of the economy have improved,
The Reagan era was a glorification of greed. Before then, CEOs were expected to care about all the stakeholders of a company. Not just stockholders but also customers and employees and the general community. A large amount of enshitification resulted from the glorification of greed era. For example, tuition at public universities went from very reasonable to absurdly expensive. Health care deductibles went from $250 to $6000. Anti-trust law stopped being enforced etc.
Yeah, I have a sneaking suspicion that hes going to commit suicide via 2 gunshots to the back of the head, with every security camera in the facility malfunctioning during it and that every other inmate in the vicinity was coincidentally unconscious.
My dream scenario is a mob marches on the capital cities ready to kill the 1% and Trump pardons Luigi and throws the rest of the wealthy to the mob to save his own ass. I believe Trump would do just about anything to save himself.
Edit: Updated my silly hypothetical to better explain the idea. I obviously don’t think it’s realistic, but it would be amusing. Esp if it failed to sate the publics rage!
Trump can already pardon himself. Even if he couldn’t, making enemies of the rich wouldn’t help himself, in fact it’d just do the opposite. The ultrawealthy have class solidarity, so Trump was never in actual trouble. They only face consequences if not doing so would majorly harm the collective image of the rich (e.g. this is why Jeffrey Epstein had to die).
Difference is that Epstein got whacked and his /clients/ let it happen.
Luigi has real fans, who see what he did as a reflection of their own discontent.
If something happens to him in jail, I believe that would still count as the aforementioned martyrdom.
Yup. Epstein getting killed was inevitable, but it’s not like he had many fans; child molesters don’t tend to win popularity contests (unless it’s running for the highest seat in the country…) His death had people upset, but only because it meant he wouldn’t be able to testify against all the billionaires. He was only working against the billionaires because the prosecutors were forcing him to do so.
But Luigi is a symbol of someone actively working against the billionaires, and killing him will turn him into a martyr.
the thing is, I think they can afford for him to be acquitted on the murder charges. the way the evidence was presented, he had a ghost gun and an illegal suppressor as well. whether they were planted or not is still up for debate, but that’s a slam dunk case that they can just give the maximum sentence for and move on. I don’t think the murder charges actually matter. I imagine if they can’t get him on murder we’ll quickly find out he was manufacturing drugs or some of bs charge they can give hime another 20 year sentence for and if the judge rules they can’t be served concurrently then bam, still a life sentence
They’re setting him up to be too scared to face trial, so he killed himself. They talked about how much he was shaking since he got approached by police, he’s pissing himself apparently. Dude is gunna get killed so he can’t talk on the stand. The last thing the oligarchs want is for this guy to have more of a platform.
Well the swine killed George Floyd.
If they kill him, protest is the only thing working class can do practically so gonna need to hit the streets.
As measured, obtainable, and realistic as your goal is, I fear it will be ineffective. Protesting is practical, safe, and easily ignored. One CEO gets popped, and suddenly there’s murmurs, unified, across the political spectrum. The elites need to know the sheer terror of writhing masses, wielding blunt and rusty tools, awash with unabated malice.
If they kill him they’ll have begun another American Revolution, this one freeing Americans from the evil capitalist scum.
So we didn’t get justice system reform after the George floydd protests. This is the 1% telling us the next one will have to be even bigger.
They could be setting up to test their response. Floyd protests caught them by surprise.
I was always wondering how Floyd’s death got picked as poster child when there were matter candidates from PR/narrative perspetive for the working class.
Taylor was a nurse murdered in cold blood due to botched warrant by local PD when they were going after her ex boyfriend. There was nothing bad to spin about her unlikely Floyd. Floyd did get liberal site going but official right narrative worked on critical of right working class. It was divisive.
American police once again showing to us how unfit for the job they are.
I think the issue here is what you think the job is, not the other way around.
Maybe the (mostly) professionalism from other countries has poisoned my mind and the police should indeed treat everyone as vermin.
Whether they treat you professionally or not is irrelevant to the fact that their primary mission is upholding the state.
The police in the US are there to protect and serve the 1%, AKA the Oligarchs. It’s be wonderful if they actually wanted to serve and provide safety for their communities. I’m sure there are a few in every city that actually want to do the right thing but as a whole, police are basically only around to protect property and harass anyone they think might be a threat to said property, especially when said property is owned by one of the Oligarchs.
Media will now work hard to turn him from hero to zero.
They gotta protect those sponsor dollarsp
