Luigi Mangione

The thing is, he has a right to review evidence that's going to be used against him. If that cannot feasibly be done with boxes of paper, because of jail policies, then a laptop may be necessary.

Either that or the prosecution needs to clarify that some of the papers they provided as a Brady requirement are not going to be used in court. Because that's what this really is. The prosecution wants to spam the defense with a ton of documents to keep secret which ones they actually plan on using, which ones they actually think might be exculpatory. And in general judges give prosecutors a lot of latitude to do this because you can't be sure what you're going to use until the case actually gets to trial. But there does become a point when it's absurd and I think 15,000 pages is around that point.

I’m honestly not sure. They arrested a buff Italian American who was justifiably unhappy with the us healthcare system, but I don’t know if it’s the right one.

I don’t trust cops not to plant evidence, so everything they report they found on him is moot for me; the eyebrows don’t look the same to me (though both are bushy); and there’s a markedly different level of planning and professionalism that went into the shooting and the purported escape plan.

Regarding the organizational differences: he 3d prints an untraceable gun and then brings it with him over state lines!? If he thinks he’ll need a gun after the fact, just make another, he’s literally got (access to) a printer. It’s probably smarter to use a different design or just get a normal gun, just don’t use it for the shooting. It’s wild to me that he went to all the trouble of getting an untraceable weapon, only to not use the most significant benefit of that by dumping the weapon at/close to the scene. What was the point? They don’t keep ballistic signatures of registered guns on file unless they’ve already been implicated in a crime, so if you plan to keep the gun anyway, just use that.

Of course, he could have panicked and/or gone into shock afterwards and scuppered his plan. That’s not impossible or even super unlikely, which is why I’m not sure one way or the other. Though I really don’t see a match on the eyebrows

I'm pretty sure Luigi isn't reading this. So you can keep your imaginary conversations with him in your head if you like.

What I think about whether Luigi Mangione is guilty or not is that the health insurance industry is responsible for apocalyptic levels of suffering and death and literally everyone in the United States is a victim of AT LEAST the constant psychological torture of being programmed to value their wealth over their lives when every single one of them knows that it is an active choice by avaricious executives and shareholders to sacrifice their well-being and that of their families and loved ones for the continued wealth accumulation of those executives and shareholders not to mention the actual suffering and death that results of the deliberate, conscious, informed choice by those in power to withhold healthcare in order to extract profit from the most vulnerable at the cost of their very lives.

Nah, the video's super inconclusive.

Innocent.

Nah man, dude was at my place that night.
