Officially speaking? That gun shot itself. Luigi seems completely innocent.

No, not since the day he was arrested. His eyebrows aren't even close to the guy in a mask pictured the day of the shooting, and one can't grow a unibrow in a couple of days. And that 'manifesto' was obviously BS.
Nope.
The video was unclear. Can't make an ID.
Yes. 100%
Nullify.
Yea, I do, but I also support jury nullification.
Fuck no! Clearly a scapegoat
So the internet has been worshiping a false prophet?
Frankly, it doesn't matter. Whether he actually did it or not, he's either a symbol of standing up against rich fucksticks, or a police scapegoat; in any case, the man deserves all the support he can get imo
Exactly this. What happened was and is a symptom. It doesn’t matter if he did or who it was or anything. It matters that it laid loudly bare how broken the US Healthcare System is.
And what does it change? Nothing, US citizens are still sitting on their lazy fat ass, doing nothing about it...
I mean he's visibly not, but he's hot so I'm cool with seeing pictures of him
The dude who shot the guy and the smiling man from that surveillance footage are visibly two different guys, wearing different clothes, and neither of them has Luigi's stunning eyebrows. They managed to catch him in a nearby mcdonald's, with the murder gun and a manifesto written by ChatGPT in his car. I know when I go out murdering CEOs, I'm always sure to keep the murder gun in my car where police can easily find it days after the murder
Very hot, bonus points if he did shoot the CEO.
The NYPD is known for frame jobs
For all I know Brian Thompson killed himself. No need to investigate.
Anyone thinking he is have bullshit in his eyes. Pics of the suspect shows a smaller, whiter, different eyelash and eyebrows than Luigi. Pics of the suspect were on the news before they arrested him, so he had plenty of time to find similar (but not identical) clothes and bag to make himself look like the killer. Why he tried to make himself look like he did it? Dont know, for fame or making fun of the police. He maybe thought je wouldnt be charged as he is obviously not the killer? But apparently the US justice is too dumb or too corrupted to see the obvious : its not him.
Yes.
It's either the most obvious frame job ever or he was trying to get caught.
The US justice system is horseshit with ringworms, but it's the only system we have. Barring obvious misconduct I will respect a jury's decision, guilty or innocent.
