Luigi Mangione shouts a message to the American people on his way to court:

“This is completely unjust and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience.”

    Here’s my guess as to what’s going on. We all knew that the picture they posted of his face last week was a different dude. Half the internet was saying that. But Luigi realized it looked like him and skipped out of town so he didn’t get in trouble for something he didn’t do. That would explain why he looked sketchy when he was in the McDonald’s. Dude was probably shitting his pants. He was just trying to get out of town before he got falsely ID’d as the culprit. He’s been saying that they planted evidence on him which totally makes sense. What are the fucking chances he had literally every piece of evidence on him that they needed when he was just at a fucking McDonald’s?

    This just sounds hella suspicious. But I guess they found the scapegoat they were looking for.

      This is just motivated reasoning. Someone thinking “Oh no, I look kinda like that guy! I’m fucked!” seems incredibly far-fetched to me.

      Highest profile case in a century and prosecutor gets iron clad convication starter pack?

      They don’t care about justice… Who ever killed the parasite sent a message…

      The elite is returning a favour and there is a chance Luigi is being framed.

      This whole thing got psyop written all over it. We just don’t know which part which is tell tale sign of a psyop lol

      If this ain’t the real guy then all that he really needs is for the real one to pop off another CEO and take credit that time.

        I’m surprised no one has copied him yet. There are plenty of CEOs who earned it

        No, they will declare that a copycat and they have the right guy.

        Then they go on a wild goose chase grabbing more people that fit the profile. It will quickly fall into political arrests - only the politics are the wealthy and powerful vs all of us.

      Or maybe he wasn’t the criminal mastermind everyone was jerking themselves over?

        You don’t have to be a criminal mastermind to not go to mcDs a week after you committed a crime, with all of the evidence needed to put you away. This is either a setup or he intended to be caught.

          Bet they caught him via greyhound db of ids. He used the same fake id to get a bus ticket…

          Mcds is a red herring.

      If it’s not him, then Luigi’s wealthy family is likely going to go to bat for him. Last time I checked they already threw him under the bus, publicly.

      They found a handwritten manifesto on him. It would be very easy to prove that it’s not his handwriting, if it actually were planted.

          Handwriting analysts try to figure out if something was written by forger who carefully studied their victim. This is not that.

          You don’t need an expert to prove that the manifesto was written by someone who never knew Mangione.

          pseudo-scientific is still a far reach, but notice how quickly some can fantasize and rationalize…

            There’s a whole lot of people fantasizing and imagining and it’s a bit embarrassing.
