Everyone knows this is theater.

Billionaires won't kill him before the trial, they'll wait to see if he gets a death sentence.

To everyone else, he's a hero.

The only people that are a threat to Luigi's life is the state...

The shackles and vest are to make it look like he's dangerous and that normal people want to kill him for his alleged actions.

Well yeah he doesn't need a bulletproof vest, what pro health insurance extremists are out there wanting to kill him?

The same people who were pro-Boeing when their planes kept dropping from the sky.

And people detached from reality.

If you acquire Messiah status, you may expect someone from outside the reality-based community to think killing you is somehow The Right Thing To Do.

The government will do their best to label him as a terrorist who deserves nothing short of death for his alleged crime.

Exactly. Luigi and Thompson's killer are two people.

He does need a cape tho.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He needs a snorkel from all the pussy and dick he's going to drown in.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

It’ll start condensing on the ceiling and falling directly on him

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago

But it's important that we all know that killing wealthy, powerful people is extra bad.

i'd feel a lot better if he kept wearing the vest

I was gonna say, the shackles should go, but the vest should at least still be an option XD

In response, the judge ordered Mangione's lawyers to be cuffed and gagged.
