Lemmy isn’t a court of law, neither is the Internet. It’s pretty much universally accepted he killed the guy, if it wasn’t, we wouldn’t have the hero worship.
What the court is going to decide is if he’s justified or not.
Any conspiracy theory is going to do some heavy lifting explaining how the highly custom pistol in the video is not the same highly custom pistol found on Luigi.
The handgun police say Luigi Mangione used to fatally shoot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is nearly as recognizable as the now-famous alleged shooter himself—and shows just how common and lethal these weapons have become.
So…
A common 3d printed gun…
And you sure as shit can’t ID it in the video, that’s just the ones the cops say was in a backpack that they say Luigi had…
And like I’ve said before, the backpack isn’t admissible evidence.
Like. You’re operating under the assumption that whatever the police do is ok, and I struggle to understand how an American can have that much faith in the American criminal justice system.
People get off on way less all the time man, he’s got money and it doesn’t take much to beat reasonable doubt. Especially when the cops fuck up this bad.
You cant say for sure it’s him in the video, and while cops say he had a bunch of evidence on him, they also say they didn’t find that evidence till after the chain of custody was violated. Nothing in his backpack is admissible.
Like, this is America bro, corrupt cops isn’t anything new. They lie all the time, you can’t fault the majority of Americans for not caring what they say as a result.
It’s not up to you or me to say what’s admissable or not. The gun in the video is the gun in the backpack. If you want to argue the cops planted it, then you have to explain how they got it.
“Marked shell casings from the assassination scene match the gun found on the suspect. His fingerprints match some key items investigators found nearby. And he was arrested this week – after going silent from his mom and friends for months – with a fake ID and a handwritten “claim of responsibility” referencing the crime site.”
If nobody believes he killed the CEO then everyone needs to immediately retract all the Luigi memes.
It’s clear he shot the guy, the only question is how justified it is.
Innocent until some guy on Lemmy says otherwise?
Oh wait, no, it still has to be proven.
Unless you were present at the time, you’ve seen some videos. Perhaps it’s not likely, but videos can be faked, more easily now than ever before.
Proof first.
Lemmy isn’t a court of law, neither is the Internet. It’s pretty much universally accepted he killed the guy, if it wasn’t, we wouldn’t have the hero worship.
What the court is going to decide is if he’s justified or not.
The court is also going to need to decide if the cops planted the evidence he conveniently carried with him several days later.
Any conspiracy theory is going to do some heavy lifting explaining how the highly custom pistol in the video is not the same highly custom pistol found on Luigi.
What?
Wasn’t it all 3d printed?
I never heard the brand but I’d bet it was an 80% like the vast majority are. There are millions of those guns.
No, nothing was found on Luigi.
He had a backpack and hours after his arrest it was searched after chain of custody was violated, nothing in there is admissable evidence.

Even if it was a rare gun, it can’t legally be linked to Luigi, that’s just how our legal system works.

Again, admissable doesn’t enter into it. That’s something for the court to determine.
It’s plain everyone believes Luigi killed the guy.
This is Luigi:
There is no question he killed the guy, the only question is justification.
It’s clear he shot the guy because people make memes??
No, people make memes because it’s clear he shot the guy.
It’s really not…
You cant say for sure it’s him in the video, and while cops say he had a bunch of evidence on him, they also say they didn’t find that evidence till after the chain of custody was violated. Nothing in his backpack is admissible.

Occams Razor - Luigi failed to ditch the gun.
