The fuss may be over with Mangione’s departure, but Wright said he and his fellow inmates will be watching intently as he gets his day in court.

“His brothers here will intently follow his case as it moves forward through the criminal justice system, all the while telling anyone who’ll listen, if it had been them, what they would have done to keep from getting arrested in the first place,” he wrote.

remember in the Live NewsNation clip when the prison boys were hollering out the prison windows in Luigi support?

his inmate brothers love him as much as we do. ♥️

Everyone loves him, which is why they’re so scared of him.

Never thought I'd witness the apotheosis of a man.

We live in interesting times. I wonder if in 2000 years our history will be told as allegorical morals.

Jesus was the first coming of Luigi 🙏

In 2000 years humanity is guaranteed to have regressed to pre-Industrial levels due to complete societal and environmental collapse.

Once this ongoing collapse (actively happening today) finishes, humanity will never again develop any technology. All natural resources remaining would be too deep in the Earth to reach without needing modern equipment. The coal mines and ore veins humans used to get into the industrial age no longer exist.

History is not a linear progression of ages and technology is not a Civ tech tree.

Just because our descendents won't be able to reproduce the exact circumstances of our industrial revolution doesn't mean they won't find new forms of forward progress.

May Luigi be set free and bring down wealth inequality in America.

Felon as current president, how about an alleged shooter?
