Luigi in court today : luigimangione

[–] Naz@sh.itjust.works 254 points 2 months ago (6 children)

I'm so glad we have actual freedom of speech on Lemmy

No fucking auto-mods to ban us for mentioning a person's name because it hurts advertising revenue

Also I don't think there's a jury in the entire United States that would actually convict Luigi

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 122 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I mean, have you kinda ignored the whole of US politics? Finding 12 people that will have him killed is easy.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 55 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah exactly. I’m not as optimistic. But hopefully his lawyer doesn’t let the prosecution stack the jury.

you could probably find 12 people to execute him just because he's Italian.

[–] khepri@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (5 children)

Good thing we thought of that already (250 years ago or so) and don't let the prosecution just pick whoever they want to be on the jury.

Never been banned by an .ml mod. Now .world? Some real psychos there.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 33 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I recieved both a ban and a death threat from a .ml mod.

My opinion was that Harris would have been better than Trump. I even included that I didn't even like her or the democrats. I just view them as, unfortunately, the better option right now.

They told me I should be executed and thrown in a pit with the rest of the garbage (ie the other people they view as undesirable) and promptly banned. It was a crazy escalation

Wow look at how torn up he looks from the guilt of his actions.

Poor guy, he must be devastated for what he didn't do.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 107 points 2 months ago (4 children)

His actions have no guilt. We were playing cards together in Oregon. Nothing wrong with that.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 50 points 2 months ago

Alleged actions.

Allegedly.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Exactly. He's probably torn up about taking your money.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

He can beat me in poker any day. And every day!

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The fuck he was! He was balls-deep in my wife in Seattle at the time of the murder.

didn't he save thousands of people? as in the aftermath of the event insurance companies started approving claims they were meant to approve until shareholders sued them to stop

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

Indeed he did. Too bad collective memory is shit and they just hired extra security and carried on after the hype died

Damn even the cop is cute. Is this a TV production or something?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not only cute, but she looks cool.

I like aviator sunglasses and I still don’t think I’ve ever thought a cop looked inherently cool (I can imagine a bomb defuser looking cool in the moment, but that’s just because of what they’re doing)

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 29 points 2 months ago (3 children)

She only looks cool because she looks like she's part of a rag-tag team of underdogs who infiltrated the courtroom to bust him out. She probably has telekinetic powers.

He's thinking about the millions of lives he improved.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

He also shielded the actual guy who shot Thompson. I hope the actual assassin lives a long, comfortable, and quiet life.

They can't prove Luigi did anything. He was with me in California that day.

[–] king_comrade@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I hope he gets off cos I'm about to 😩

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

His trial is still ongoing but you're guilty and going to horny jail

Someone should run for the governor of NY on a platform of offering Mangione a full pardon.

They would win in a landslide.

No matter what happens, what ruling, what transpires, they can't bring that piece of shit he (supposedly) shot back from the dead. He's got a lot to smile about.
