Excerpt:

Prosecutors highlighted “about $10,000 — $8,000 in U.S. dollars and then $2,000 in foreign currency that was found on his person,” CNN correspondent Danny Freeman said following the court hearing.

“Also they said that he had a Faraday bag,” which blocks cell signals, a move that prosecutors alleged marked “an indication of criminal sophistication and reason they should hold him on bail,” Freeman continued.

After prosecutors made the claims, Mangione said he would like to “correct two things.”

“I don’t know where any of that money came from — I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication,” the suspect said in a statement that suggested police framed him.

Our incoming president is a convicted felon and RAPIST who incited an insurrection and illegally attempted to overturn an election.

The rule of law doesn't mean shit anymore.

I could give 2 fucks if this guy lies through his teeth to get off the hook. Go for it bro.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

I mean. They probably really did plant the money to try and paint it like it was a hired hit or something like that.

He didn't say the gun and ID was planted, which were also found on him. I don't see why he'd be like "yupp that murder weapon and manifesto is mine but that money sure isnt" if it wasn't true. I mean, what does he have to lose (or gain) by lying about that?

My ez-pass transponder came with a faraday bag - clearly ez-pass is a criminal organization

A former employer handed out branded faraday phone and wallet bags as a tchotchke- I must have worked for organized crime.

Oh no, passport faraday bags are all over Amazon - clearly criminal and needs to be shut down

The us federal government gave me a faraday pouch to put my id card in.

A computer programmer with a common cyber security countermeasure you can buy on Amazon indicates criminal sophistication?

Sure Jan.

I live in Canada. I have a couple of US $ bills lying around. Does that make me a criminal?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

YES! You make me sick.
And I'll pay out the nose to be healed but not trust the cure thank you! That's my right!

His legal fundraiser has raised 27K in the space of a day. Free Luigi.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Please share where that is, 27k is rookie numbers. I personally plan to donate $10k once I vet it and know for sure where it'll go.

I'm 100% serious.

Sounds to me like they couldn't catch the real shooter but they snared a doplerganger and figured they could frame him up fast based on his social media. It doesn't make sense, his family are millionaires.....the boomers might buy this crap, but anyone gen x or younger isn't going to believe this for one minute.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

Oh god it would be funny if the real shooter would make a video dropping some unrevealed provable facts and exposing the government if that would be true.

Sadly, the most probable outcome from this is gonna be more privileges to CEOs. After all, they are now exposed to be killed on the streets. Maybe their insurance, as well as their brute salary, will also be way better. And surely, countless jackos are aiming for the vacant position.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The outcome is the CEOs will get 24/7/365 security details and pass the cost off to their customers.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

I bet the security detail wouldn't even get insurance coverage for being wounded in the line of duty as it's obviously negligent to put yourself in harms way like that

With any luck people will be aiming for the non vacant position

My Christmas cookies from Costco come in a Faraday Cage.... I'm so criminal right now!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

I went in an elevator today. I'm the real criminal mastermind, you guys.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

A Faraday cage (bag) is not sophisticated. WTF, one can build one from chicken wire.
