Luigi Mangione is brought into the courtroom, shackled with his hands in front of his chest.

His attorney Karen Agnifilo requests permission to unshackle him.

The judge denies the request, citing security concerns.

tells you everything you need to know that cops got the Charleston shooter a burger and the mayor did a perp walk with Luigi

They're doing everything they can to make him look like the most dangerous "terrorist" that ever existed. It's pathetic and transparent but acab so what're you gonna do?

billthepony.bsky.social•20 hours ago

They will stop at nothing until Luigi is everyone's hero

graay.bsky.social•20 hours ago

They're not afraid of him, they're afraid of how many of his possible supporters are in the room with him.

It’s all about the illusion of power.
The rich want to feel safe knowing he can’t move. It’s symbolic.

Do they want the public to start rooting for the outlaws like they did in the 1920s and 1930s? This behavior's going to go a long way towards bringing those attitudes back.

They're so far removed from the public that they don't get it.

redrook1.bsky.social•15 hours ago

They are desperate to try and make an example of this guy to try and send a message.

chamomilehas.bsky.social•7 hours ago

They're doing a really bad job of it. If you asked me how to do a better job of setting him this up as the origin story of a Green Arrow reboot, I don't know what I'd do differently. I don't think he's particularly heroic, but if I wanted to sell someone that he was, this is how I'd do it!

clowncone.bsky.social•21 hours ago

If i was the judge i’d be afraid of him throwing up rock fingers to raucous applause

johnryanwrites.bsky.social•20 hours ago

And to me the court doesn't realize by doing this they are only elevating his mystique.

Great minds, etc

It is completely deranged and hilarious how the state is going all-out to build his heroic image.

shuchancellor.online•20 hours ago

Much like how the CIA could not understand the appeal of Ché, the modern state apparatus can no longer conceive of simply granting concessions of the most measly kind to the working classes because to do so would concede that our demands are righteous

bimblinghill.bsky.social•20 hours ago

I mean, we're probably quite far apart politically, but I can't disagree.

The more they do this, the more sympathy they garner for him. It's stupidity.

thethinblackduke.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Mangione is a big problem The Ruling Class doesn't know how to deal with. I'm sure they'd love it if Mangione "accidentally" fell down a flight of stairs or was found dead in his cell, but they wouldn't be able to get away with it.

innocent until proven sexyman

tsrhg.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Maybe he should have.

matte-gender.bsky.social•20 hours ago

they also don’t even know that it makes him more appealing to the masses. all this for a CEO from a particularly evil company, and one that was done cleanly without additional suffering

A guy with boxes and boxes of classified information in his shitter was allowed to play golf and travel the world during his trial

cocaineowlbear.bsky.social•19 hours ago

They're not afraid of him.

They're afraid someone will *rescue* him.

doclt.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I’m not sure what you mean by that? Do you mean a juror might decide to vote innocent no matter what?

cocaineowlbear.bsky.social•14 hours ago

I mean they want to limit his movement in case someone literally tries to break him out.

The guy's got some pretty devoted fans.

dr-bread.bsky.social•21 hours ago

might not have killed the dude at all. I'm still holding out that he's just a random guy.

spiraldee.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I half expected them to wheel him in on a hand truck like Hannibal Lecter.

smurph.bsky.social•21 hours ago

m214snickers.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Wym he didn’t kill anyone till prosecutors prove he did beyond a reasonable doubt. Innocent until proven otherwise

themerckxproject.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I suspect the optics of that are going to create a sympathetic jury, even if it's intended to do the opposite. (I know it's pre-trial)

davebrowne.bsky.social•21 hours ago

But he didn't kill just anyone. He murdered an aristocrat. He shattered the safety of the nobility. He's history's greatest monster.

secondthrowaway.bsky.social•18 hours ago

well technically he didn't even do that

who said he did?

davebrowne.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I should have said they allege he did this. I didn't see nothin'.

nykathedog.bsky.social•20 hours ago

again they are only making him seem more dangerous/powerful, lol

panicrestaurant.bsky.social•20 hours ago

He proved society’s self-appointed, so called gods to be as mortal as anyone else, and that’s the gravest sin they can imagine.

laurala.bsky.social•18 hours ago

They're trying to show the consequences of being a class traitor under capitalism.

drmke.bsky.social•17 hours ago

The judge is afraid he might be attacked by the ninja!

Wait the wife is defending this guy and the husband is defending Puff Daddy? Imagine dinner conversation in their house.

gregbrown.bsky.social•21 hours ago

This is like when they didn’t want to try terrorists in Manhattan because they might break out like Magneto.

darkestadam.bsky.social•21 hours ago

He's innocent until I see evidence that hasn't been potentially faked by the cops to make him a scapegoat.

doompacifist.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Maybe he learnt the Jedi mind trick, I dunno
