Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty as early as Friday in the federal case accusing him of stalking and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a stunning development in a case that rattled business leaders while galvanizing their critics, according to a person familiar with the matter.
I think most of us support what he did
Which is why there’s the viral meme of sorts where we all pretend like he doesn’t fit the description of the person we saw do it or whatever… but that’s literally just people talking shit because they support him, not because they literally saw a 9 foot tall white woman shoot the CEO
Despite what I might have said in the past, no, Luigi was not literally with me that day feeding homeless people at a church.
I’m concerned at the number of comments that read like they don’t understand that we were memeing his innocence, not that he’s actually innocent
The nuance may be eluding me, but so what? Why is it concerning?
Seems like a propaganda win to me…
Because it’s ignorance
I’m worried a large portion of the users on this site are either too dumb to understand we’re joking or just that uninformed about ‘current’ events
It’s kind of scary to think a large group of lemmy users saw me say, “Luigi was with me feeding homeless people at my church” and they were like, “omg, he was?”. Like some shit straight out of idiocracy
No, he was not literally with me. It’s a fucking joke
I did not witness the shooting. Despite what I said on the internet I did not see a 9 foot amazonian woman shoot that man. It’s a bit upsetting to think I’m surrounded by users who believed me
