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.

Has a comment ever been so close to an eternally echoed prayer as this?

That's not dead . . . which can eternal lie, and with strange eons even death may die!

Hey I'm just saying, if any of y'all have family members who are currently incarcerated in NY or something, get them to protect him while he's in the slammer.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 81 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

This makes me think of a fact I heard the others day; the reason "heretics" used to be burned was so that there was nothing left to have as artifacts to be worshipped.

Ie the ruling class was trying to avoid martyrdom of the burned.

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.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 53 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I read that, it was stupid and seemed to imply you opt in to be the imposter instead of it being randomly assigned, which would completely destroy the point of the game if it worked that way. Since the point is you don't know who the killer is.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Completely nonsensical article, like it was written to cater to idiots who think video games cause violence.

I had thought that stupidity was thoroughly smashed years ago, especially with the rise in video game Ayers and decrease in violent crime, but... You know... Stupid finds a way I guess.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He was at the Diddy Party where he penned the script for Velma

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well we don't know if Luigi is the actual assassin or not, a lot of reason to Epstein him if you know itll be obvious he didn't do it, but still need a fallguy so you can maintain the illusion of control.

[–] wpb@lemmy.world 70 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Right, and I share your opinion, but even for those people who think any death is bad, would not be happy with Luigi dead either.

[–] OrganicMustard@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

They are treating Luigi the way they should have treated Trump, they treated Trump the way they should be treating Luigi.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 7 points 1 week ago

Then why the monopoly money? This story doesn't make sense. The government is lying to us.

[–] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.
