The next court date has been set for February 21.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/23/us/luigi-mangione-arraignment-new-york/index.html
As much as I’d like to believe it’s a conspiracy, news organizations make money from clicks. There isn’t much for them to monetize between now and February 21, so they’re focusing on more immediate stuff.
If they can get good photos and text from the next court date, Luigi will get more coverage.
Edit: there have been like five plane crashes, one US inauguration, and major US wildfires since his last court date.
Wait did you post this before the DC one tonight?!
I meant all the ones around Xmas, but yeah.
Yeah. I agree. I know the news media has agendas to push, but stretching like this is counterproductive to starting or encouraging a movement.
Great points. Knowing the public is favorable towards Luigi, media outlets will definitely want to capitalize on any developments and opportunities to report on him since it’d generate clicks
LllllllllllitterallyFree Luigi. Patron saint of all of those denied for stupid reasons, including my friend who had to have his necrotic gallbladder removed last week, and one of those shitass insurance companies denied his hospital stay, because apparently your gallbladder should fall out of you itself or something.
luigi was not on the news because he killed someone but because he caused the share price to drop. the share price has recovered since. as simple as that.
No. It’s just the news cycle. People forget quickly. This is no more special than anything else.
I heard he was being held in another castle.
You should label your images if they are AI generated.
Label it how?
The body of the post.
Honestly, why do you care?
I completely agree with them.
he asked why
No he didn’t, it’s a flippant “you shouldn’t care.” He doesn’t actually want to know. Everyone knows that.
“Why should I care?” Similarly is “I don’t give a shit.”
you’re choosing to interpret it negatively. you read to much into it. I tend to interpret ‘honestly, why do you care’ as someone who honestly wants to know why the other cares. Why would it not be that? It makes a lot of sense to me to ask this question, because I don’t see the relevance of something being AI or not in the context of a meme.
I am not choosing to read too much into it. They chose those words for a reason. Stop white knighting just to be contrarian.
I was asking honestly. Why do they care? It’s a meme community. Why does using an AI image to get a message across matter? Why do they care?
You are reading way too much into it.
because boooo AI
You should label your comment if they are made by a bot.
I think they did.
What? I was just poking fun at the OP by implying he’s a bot.
By not do you mean bot because if not then I don’t know what
My head hurts
I didn’t even notice until your comment. That’s such a weird image to have an AI make; how hard is it to google ‘billboard in a city or whatever’ and run with the first result?
Not that hard at all. Though these days a lot of Google images results are also AI generated. I’m not even sure if the image above is real or not.
i mean clearly we don’t need a label to recognise them
They can’t demonize Luigi, so they’re trying to erase him. The media is seeing the limitations of their power against popular anger. They have to be terrified.
Meanwhile, the guy who actually shot the CEO is probably living off the grid in a cabin somewhere.

I still haven’t seen anything that links Luigi to the footage of the shooting. I don’t know how anyone looks at that footage and is like “Yup. That’s the same guy”.
If the eyebrows are thicc, you must acquit.
🧤
But Luigi had a burner gun and a manifesto on his person a whole week after the crime! Of course he did it. Why would anyone discard their burner or do literally anything with their manifesto after a statement like that? Lmao
This is kind of a disingenuous take. What do you expect the news to do? Every morning 1 hour of “We are still pre-trial, no new evidence…” What piece of news persists for months and months after it happens, especially something as “self contained” as a murder.
Why not? They did that for Hunter Biden’s laptop.
No election is standing on Luigi though.
And Hillary’s emails, the 2020 election, the border “crisis” etc. They just keep shit on repeat until it its no longer useful
Yeah, I had the same reaction over the summer when people rediscovered the 2016 lawsuit that accused Trump of raping a 13 year old. Everyone was like, “Why is no one covering this???” Because they did. Eight years ago. Nothing new happened, it just got picked up by social media again.
“List of other people we think Luigi Mangione would like to kill” would be a good start.
You could probably start a tiktok trend if you make it cool enough.
Every day? You overestimate the attention span of the American public
US public also has goldfish memory. Its a wonder anyone bothers to even make new movies.
LOL largely we don’t. Have you seen the amount of sequels / spinoffs in theaters?
Dicks out for Luigi 🍆🫡
That’s a parade I would join.
No, two weeks is our attention span and that’s stretching it.
Mine is about 5 minutes.
Mine is about
I mean also people get bored and this was never going to spark some kind of revolution like people here imagined. It’s just the media moving in the newest thing like they always do.
He got charged December 9, and lets be real, there were other orange skinned bits of news that the average asshole was more interested in then him by them.
Americans also have the memory of a goldfish, tbf. Look at who they elected president because they forgot how bad things were just 4 years prior.
Not a bright lot there in the states.
Sorry, I was distracted, can you say that again
Unfortunately, it’s kinda just how our courts work. There really isn’t anything “new” to talk about his case until his next trial date on February 17. Not that there aren’t some conversations we all need to have about it, and how people feel about what he allegedly did. But right now everyone is distracted from that by the horse loose in the hospital. Hopefully at some point that trick stops working on us.
I mean, sure yeah. Also, though, most Americans are just dumb.
