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.”

Here's my guess as to what's going on. We all knew that the picture they posted of his face last week was a different dude. Half the internet was saying that. But Luigi realized it looked like him and skipped out of town so he didn't get in trouble for something he didn't do. That would explain why he looked sketchy when he was in the McDonald's. Dude was probably shitting his pants. He was just trying to get out of town before he got falsely ID'd as the culprit. He's been saying that they planted evidence on him which totally makes sense. What are the fucking chances he had literally every piece of evidence on him that they needed when he was just at a fucking McDonald's?

This just sounds hella suspicious. But I guess they found the scapegoat they were looking for.

This is just motivated reasoning. Someone thinking "Oh no, I look kinda like that guy! I'm fucked!" seems incredibly far-fetched to me.
