Excerpt:
Prosecutors highlighted “about $10,000 — $8,000 in U.S. dollars and then $2,000 in foreign currency that was found on his person,” CNN correspondent Danny Freeman said following the court hearing.
“Also they said that he had a Faraday bag,” which blocks cell signals, a move that prosecutors alleged marked “an indication of criminal sophistication and reason they should hold him on bail,” Freeman continued.
After prosecutors made the claims, Mangione said he would like to “correct two things.”
“I don’t know where any of that money came from — I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication,” the suspect said in a statement that suggested police framed him.
Age 20-30, has a good bag to carry thier tech around day to day, dislikes american health insurance, and may be mentally unwell without proper diagnosis; Describes every college student I know.
If the more concrete evidence is you where within a few miles of the incident in NY, as well know NY is not a dense urban city…
It’s all hard to say, rampant distrust of the police means, knowing they are desperate to pin it on anyone, we can’t trust what they say.
and then $2,000 in foreign currency
Seems like the typical American Scapegoat™. I wonder what “foreign currency” they’re referring to… Feels like an urge from US authorities to use this case as “muh [placeholder for the name of some imaginary international bogeyman which US authorities believe it’s under their beds right now]”.
“Also they said that he had a Faraday bag,” which blocks cell signals, a move that prosecutors alleged marked “an indication of criminal sophistication
Something that’s one of the most sold products from Amazon, Shopee, AliExpress, among other marketplaces. For example, it’s sold even in some major grocery stores here in Brazil, so I imagine that a similar scenario happens in the US.
It’s got protection especially for contactless cards (so these cards can’t be used at a distance for paying things the cardholder isn’t aware of), and it generally offers some water protection (it’s not expected to be diving together at some beach with the cardholder, but it’d definitely offer some protection against spills and minimal soaked clothes due to rain, for example).
He had Ill will against corporate America, nobody would have that unless they were the killer! Sick evidence coppers!
They want to upgrade his charge from second-degree murder to first-degree murder, changing it to a murder-for-hire case.
Who are they saying hired him?
They haven’t gotten that part of their lie figured out yet. Give them some time, they’re only working on two collective brain cells, afterall.
They don’t have to. The money they
foundplanted is enough to allow them to say whatever they want. Proving it would be harder.
If another ceo dies from someone who looks like the guy while this guy is locked up then its realy gonna make the system look corrupt
What kind of hell would that bring.
That’s an exciting prospect isn’t it.
The exact same style of a shitty resolution camera catching the upper frame of a guy’s face while their only suspect sits in jail with evidence constructed in parallel?
The only thing I can imagine is that they would call that killer a copycat and that they have the right one.
The only thing I can imagine is that they would call that killer a copycat and that they have the right one.
That’s probably it, good catch. God forbid the system makes a mistake. They’d rather crucify an innocent person than risk it.
Wear your Luigi mask
He allegedly dropped YouTube video with DEC 11 data.
Not sure if it is true or not but everybody is hoping there is more to this story.
Either way, Luigi didn’t do nothing but sure they can do their show trial and turn this man into a martyr
Authorities are desperately trying to make an example of someone, anyone with a motive. Turns out more than half the country has one.
That’s the fastest way to get your courthouse blown up
Everyone should change their names on all their social medias to Luigi Mangione
Everyone should walk around with Luigi Mangione face masks.
Shut up about should and just fucking do it, Luigi Mangione.
Sincerely,
Luigi Mangione
the way they portray him and the tone of the whole thing is just so fucking slimy
“Do you realize how much money the wealthy are losing right now?”
“OMG how could a person born into wealth that is clearly incredibly intelligent, ever think about doing something like this? There are better ways to slowly let millions of people die over denied coverage and ignore it. How could he.”
They can’t have us realize its that easy to take our country back from the corporations that own it or their entire power structure and caste society comes crashing down.
UnitedHealth Group has lost $45 billion in value since CEO Killing
“Do you realize how much the wealthy are losing right now?”
Clearly, not nearly enough.
“Hey! This guy doesn’t worship the Dollar! Slander him!”
This whole thing is sooo fucking smelly. So, so very smelly
They can call us inhumane but they’re the ones who got us thinking of human lives in dollar values
Dont post pictures of headliness. Post links to the articles.
I mean those weren’t screenshots of headlines, they were a significant portion of the articles. At the time though it was just coming from CNN’s live coverage page, which I tried to link to above
The reason you need to give links isn’t because its not showing all the text. Its to prevent misinformation and to let people who are blind be able to read the article.
Sure, agreed, I posted screenshots on the fly as I saw the info. That being said is it was a “live feed” page and information was being changed on the fly with a single URL
Yes, even more of a reason to supply the link
They’re now also blaming Among Us for training him into an assassin, apparently.
smh the sus guy strikes again, this time out of retirement
Of this is true… Damn. Two thoughts come to mind when reading this.
- Rockstar Games has done so little with GTA for such a long time it is no longer the default ‘turn kids into criminals’-simulator.
- I am fucking old.
If you dont remember shooting lines of Elvis impersonators with an above head view and bullets that projectiles slowly across the screen, you’re not that old
Remember when Jack Thompson was relevant? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
All those kids that started playing GTA too young are now grown and taking it out on society because they don’t have a new GTA to work through their urges in.
LOL “quick, do the ‘it was video games!’ distraction “
So thin and weak
I bet he knows the hacker 4chan too
They’ll find 12 of the whitest old women to ever exist and hammer this guy, I can just feel it. The justice system exists for the rich and whoever did this fucked with one of their own.
My Nostradamus prediction of the day is that you are right. They will all miraculously had a great time with the private healthcare syndicates.
I’m the one who killed the dude actually. Remember? You were there. ;)
🤌
No, I’m Luigi.
No, I’m Luigi!

Hodor? Hodor? Hold-uhdoor?
Yarp
I’m Batman?
I broke the dam.
Ryan started the fire.
So I wore a hoodie and wore a mask. I also smiled once on CCTV. Am I the secret assassin?
Secret assassin of my heart, baby.
Ass assassin
❤️
Turns out more than half the country has one.
Turns out your new president kinda wants to put that half in shackles, too.
Duh
His legal fundraiser has raised 27K in the space of a day. Free Luigi.
Of course it was. He’s not the dude. Let this shit play out and become a cold case.
From the article:
Although a host of eyewitness accounts and video camera footage recorded Mangione’s movements before and after Thompson was killed in New York City on Wednesday, police said they were unable to locate him until a McDonald’s employee identified the suspect at a Pennsylvania franchise nearly a week later.
They should have said “the suspect’s movements” or “the shooter’s movements”. Not “Mangione’s movements”. They are already presuming guilt by saying it was Mangione who was recorded. Newspapers used to be careful about doing this. I think they can be sued for defamation for this, can’t they?
It seems kinda grey because they’re not saying he committed a crime they are saying that he was in certain camera frames and the police were looking for him. If the police announced a name then the news would be reporting fact. The camera bit could be debatable I think. If they were speaking more about the actions of the crime they’d have to alledge, which they did alledge about his “type” of bookbag.
I could be wrong I just found your comment interesting.
Yeah but by stating as a fact that it was Mangione who was witnessed and recorded they are stating as a fact that he is the killer, which we don’t know yet. That is-- or used to be – a big no no in reporting. But times have changed. Here is a link I found explaining how they are probably opening themselves up to a libel charge with this kind of language.
I think they’re saying it definitely was Mangione who was recorded at the hotel, which if he was checking in/out is pretty easy to prove. From there they lost track of him because they didn’t know his route or he just didn’t show up on any other cameras.
I agree that the wording is likely intentional to imply guilt, but is loose enough that they could claim that isn’t what they were doing.
Fuck Chomsky.
They said with no support…
Are you the CEO of a news corporation, bud?
I’m gonna guess he slings some porn…
He took Russia’s side in their invasion of Ukraine, which I don’t agree with, but truth is truth and he accurately describes how the media sways public opinion without outright lying.
Sure, but I think you’d understand that I can’t just take pure speculation though. Could you please source your claim so I can consider what you’re saying when you say he “took Russia’s side”.
Would also be curious of the state he was in while saying that if true, as he’s nearly 100 years old at this point if I recall? Even our heroes get frail and wither, not necessarily representative of their true core positions.
Can you back up that claim with a link?
I only read Chomsky saying:
- Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was a crime.
- The US + Britain have committed far worse atrocities in war (e.g. Iraq, Lebanon, Indochina) than Russia in Ukraine.
- It would be better to attempt de-escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war than to strengthen NATO and continue a proxy war with Russia.
Curious as to why you think this?
I’ve heard he’s a meany, but that’s all I know
Was it an employee or a bystander/customer? I’m confused.
I mean, if they want to go and taint every potential juror in the country they can go for it.
It’s an American newspaper, so it’s up to the victim. Canada and EU have much stricter rules.
Maybe Luigi can sue them with all the money people on GoFundMe are desperate to give him.
Shooter gets off, with millions of gofndme. The ceo is not really dead. Guy, Wife, kids, shooter get to split the life insurance and the gofndme.
I never saw any evidence the ceo died, either.

Are we going down that rabbit hole?
I still don’t understand how there can be any question, they caught him writing his memoir “How i totally killed that guy and why” by Luigi Mangione (an autographed copy). Open and shut case
Well I’m certainly disappointed in his “criminal sophistication”.
All it takes is 1 jury member.
As much as I want to believe all the conspiracies… the arrest happened in Pennsylvania… and since it was at a food place after a tip, there was no time to bring in pre-screened cops. And the odds that the local law enforcement would not leak that they planted evidence and such in this high profile case are about nil. Those local cops don’t like the snutty feds anyway, so they have plenty of motivation to leak any shenanigans.
