Why does his entourage look like the entourage that was escorting Oswald when Jack Ruby struck? They better not whack him.

I'd they murder him, I am starting a religion in his name.

Edit: upon further thought, I think the similarity is mainly the blank clueless looks on the cops' faces.

Ordinarily this comment would seem hyperbolic, but considering how many people are actually seeing the usually ignored strings of the ruling class attempting to manipulate the narrative and bringing down extremely harsh charges, clearly for the crime of killing one of them...it seems pretty accurate.

I sense that all these great perp walk photos are designed to influence the place of the trial, EG all of these states are saturated with the news, he can't get an impartial trial here, but over in this state where we hand picked a judge who will hand down a death sentence, it's A-OK. Venue change please!

Ok, so you are telepathically asking me my entire review of the DenyDefendDepose case? Sure.

First I think with trillions of people highly supportive across social media, even reaching out to a supportive stranger and staying inside their house 3 months would have been a more legit escape plan than 'hang out in public'.

This case caused me to do my research in to healthcare and learn how America is the only developed country without Universal Healthcare and spends more for lower lifeexpectancy, more people uninsured, and more preventable deaths than other nations.

I think it could not have been any other way and I myself am like "ceos bad", but that the healthcare execs rejoiced when things went the way of 'kill all ceos' instead of 'reform american healthcare system' since attainable goal of Universal Healthcare was replaced by something that would encounter widespread resistance.

Also I compare this to the suffragette bombing campaign and, altho the media of the time was highly against them, I think it no coincidence that less than 5 years later suffrage happened. There was a time lawmakers did not have to fear stepping outside. But a few attacks later and stepping outside had become something with risk attached. Does not surprise me they then passed women's suffrage.

I personally think that, while destroying the elites in general is a noble goal, we are basically not there yet. My hope is that the next high profile 'terrorism' is again directed at american health insurance execs. Hopefully elites then view healthcare as their weakness where people are boiling over and view their position as salvageable if they deal with it by instituting Universal Healthcare to replace the american health insurance racket. We would then, at that point, choose to push farther but having attained an improvement along the way.

I also noticed that in no Mangione thread was anyone saying "come join our group pushing for american health insurance reform!" There felt like no larger joinable structure for supporting Luigi's cause and pushing it through to completion in an intelligent and strategic way.

What should we do? If you aren't a terrorist, I think we should simply keep Mangione in the public eye. Back to the suffragettes, them just complaining for years is like a person who has a chipped tooth and knows they should go to the dentist but they indefinitely put it off. Suffragettes starting their bombing campaign is when the tooth becomes painful. Do it enough and the person is like 'f this' and goes to the dentist. The more we focus on Luigi and Luigi copycats, the greater the sensation of pain to those troubled by him and their resulting fear.

Yep. I'm not letting it go.

We need a national graffiti campaign. Wheat paste these memes everywhere. The saint meme would make great street art.

How does he go to jail and come out looking even better?

[-] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 64 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

From what we've heard, other inmates like him.

Also, he has had mere days in there, as opposed to years.

Bless the prisoners and everyone else looking out for our boy Luigi.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 47 points 21 hours ago

Which made the comments made by that right-wing woman pretty funny. She was saying how she was hoping the other inmates would kill him. Bitch, for what, killing a scumbag CEO? Regular people are cheering him, how do you think people who have been extra fucked over by the system feel?

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 22 hours ago

I can't imagine anyone disliking him in prison. He did nothing that could be deemed immoral if you're already breaking laws, and most of the prison population are victims of the system

[-] lazzerot@startrek.website 16 points 18 hours ago

Can anyone explain to me why the handcuffs are tied to a chain around his body? It's obviously to limit his arm movement so he can't put someone in a e.g. a chokehold, but why are they not just holding his arms in that case? IIRC it's my first time seeing a chain used for that. Are they so afraid of him?

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 10 points 14 hours ago

I was taken to jail for a night and they put those on me. For reckless driving.

[-] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 8 points 12 hours ago

Maybe they were worried that you'd drive them crazy.

[-] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 18 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

It's pretty common practice to do when an inmate is going to be outside prison walls for transportation or court trips. At least in NY it is.

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 4 points 17 hours ago

Rather than a chain I've seen a kind of thick leather belt with a metal hook on our being used specifically for that.

It looked more adequate than the chain.

never would I think I'd find a muscly guy with sharp jaw bones cute, but HERE WE ARE 🤩

Every expression looks like they are struggling the stick shoved so far.

[-] sepi@piefed.social 14 points 19 hours ago

They all look like they've got some claims denied too

They look drugged

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 9 points 21 hours ago

Beard guy looks especially constipated.

Should I understand this reference?

[-] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 28 points 21 hours ago

It's from Mangione's manifesto

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 23 hours ago

The expression on the security guard on the right is hilarious to me.

[-] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 19 hours ago

Maybe he's trying to look indifferent instead of fanboying lol

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 9 points 18 hours ago

"OMG, OMG, it's him! Be cool, man, be cool..."

[-] moistclump@lemmy.world 14 points 23 hours ago

“Welp.”
