I would like to note that Luigi has not been found guilty of anything and that both him deserving the presumption of innocence as well as the shooting being justified can be true at the same time.
The police are trying to convince the public that he did it so they can make a show out of punishing him to deter future acts against the rich, we shouldn’t do part of their job for them.
Luigi got attention for being arrested, the police are the ones alleging that he was the one who shot the CEO.
Too many people forget this part. Luigi Mangione is, until proven otherwise, innocent. The police, the same people who have spent decades killing them people (especially minorities) and planting evidence, largely with impunity, are alleging that he is the one who did it. Luigi is likely a victim of the health insurance industry but, until it is proven otherwise, he and the shooter are two separate individuals.
People with a lot of wealth and power want to put a bow on this to prevent more frustration from being directed at them.
It can be discussed without the assumption that he is guilty. I think it is dangerous for the public to remove the presumption of innocence, especially in cases like this where the ones affected are the ones with power.
I would even argue that it’s more important to argue with the presumption of innocence. Someone killed a health insurance company CEO and a lot of people are rejoicing over it, then someone who is quite possibly innocent and who seems to have suffered from health insurance company decisions has been arrested for it. How many other people have experienced something similar to Luigi? How many other people fit the profile because the system destroys that many lives? He has already suffered, how much more will he have to suffer for something that he possibly had no connection to, for the benefit of the people who seem to have already ruined his life?
Who? The shooter or Luigi? Until proven otherwise, they are two separate people.
To be fair, we don’t yet know with certainty who took him out.
I think… I think he meant the suit suit, not the skin suit.
I think.
I understand why he did what he did
I’d like to add that he hasn’t been found guilty for anything, for all we know he could be a completely innocent person who just happened to fit the profile of someone they could pin it on.
A lot of the discourse seems to revolve around why he did it (e.g. from the article: “nothing he read or posted explains why he gunned down an insurance executive better than this single image in the background of his Twitter profile”) but it’s important to remember that there’s a reason we have presumption of innocence, especially when it comes to how many innocent people have spent their life behind bars or even gotten executed.
Maybe they can catch the interest of ex-firefox developers, their expertise and should help a lot.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention one of my favorites:
Spec Ops: The Line.
The risk with going in blind is that it seems like a generic cover-shooter that doesn’t do everything quite as well as its competitors but it actually works to its advantage once you get into it.
If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it, you can usually find it for really cheap.
What about when Reagan (allegedly) conspired with the Iranians to sabotage Carter’s chances of winning the election?
He’s not going to win a third term. And he won’t be able to cheat into a third term. I’m not concerned about that.
Oh buddy, haven’t you been paying attention? Disenfranchising voters and rejecting unfavorable election results has been one of their biggest priorities.
Of course not, that’d be ridiculous.
It’s called the FSB nowadays.
I don’t really understand how Embrace, Extend, Extinguish is relevant to this, would you mind explaining?
So, the spoiler candidate touting Russian propaganda? I really don’t see how helping an autocrat gain power by not voting for the only viable opposition, and in turn likely ending up giving Israel even more aid and approval to escalate their genocide, is going to help anyone in Gaza or even the Middle-East.
If you think the genocide will stop when Trump is in the white house again, boy do I have bad news for you.

Luigi Mangione has not been found guilty of any crime. As of the time when writing this, he is an innocent man suspected of committing a crime. Until proven otherwise, he is not the person who shot the CEO.
