Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty.
His attorney argues his rights are being violated, is being denied fair trial and is being used as political fodder by state and federal agencies using him for photo ops including the NYC Mayor Adams, indicted on federal charges of bribery, fraud, and more.

He is in good hands!
She is absolutely right - he's a political pawn right now.

I am glad she took his case.
I have to admit that after the election, I rage-unsubscribed all my YouTube subscribe, just furious at everyone - and that included MeidasTouch. I'm slowly coming back.
I think it's refreshing hearing a WOMAN attorney's perspective.
Also, her husband, Marc Agnifilo, is representing Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
I'd like to be around their dinner table in the evening ...
They've got some great contributors.

But also to our Politicians take the warning. We want our Healthcare system FIXED. Get on with it.
Seems like Luigi has a decent chance of getting a hung jury through jury nullification, given the current mood. Just takes one juror.
(Not a lawyer. Don't listen to me.)
I agree it was murder. But a lot of folks see Luigi as a hero. They will be in the jury pool.
Also, I'm in favor of socialized medicine.
I guess this whole "people will be morally outraged and revolted by the CEO killer" thing doesn't seem to be the way things are playing out.
Ever hear of Snowden?
However, he is still legally just a suspect, and there is a process here. It is inappropriate for Mayor Adams to use him as a prop. Also, charging him with questionable, inflated charges like terrorism just to send a message because elites are scared is wrong, and could well backfire.
Allegedly killed a mass murderer.
Full stop.
Because that picture of him at the hostel does not look the same.
Also. We have fucking proof we CAN'T do better than that.
Look who was elected president.
Look at our health insurance system.
There is also the fact it was a mass murderer that was killed.
They are doing their best to paint him as a villain despite widespread public support.
He might actually not be the shooter.
If we're using it as a basis for laws though I suggest you study up on the Avenger of Blood.
It doesn't matter one fuck who the victim was or what his job was.
He probably has a family, children.
He didn't deserve to be murdered.
Remember that that Nazi had a wife and kids tho. A wife and kids they raised with the $ they earned running the camp. Would you think of them, instead of the dead families in the camp?
Clearly Frank thinks it's wrong to kill him.
Brian Thompson was just doing his job, which is legal in his jurisdiction.
"I was just following orders" was not an adequate defense at Nuremburg.
Fuck those kids.
also aint no jury gonna convict him anyway. we have to be careful he doesnt get jack ruby'd for that reason.
Luigi? Not so much.
How's that?
Luigi managed to make Trumplicans, liberals, and 40% of the country agree on something. ACROSS POLITICAL LINES.
Cult or not..
U can't get your entire cult to be okay with them or their family being put in a body bag early cause of 4th Quarter earnings.
As the felon is raking in millions suing for essentially being "tried in the press" ...this commoner is being crucified for acting in self-defense and in the defense of others. We've fought wars for less provocation than this man had.
We the People are on defense. 💙🇺🇲
Utter breakdown.
Of Norms.
Of Systems.
Of a shared set of values.
Hard to watch.
Sort of.
Oligarchy.
he'll be found guilty in an hour, imo.
(I would use the same standard of "reasonable doubt" that 40 people used in the Trump impeachment. Fair is fair.)
#SelfDefence
Not Guilty.
Free Luigi!
What would Mario do?
Trump, Netanyahu create distractions for their crime
Out entire system has become a corrupt kleptocracy - creating wealth for a certain few with no regard to oppression of the majority
Revolt !!! The immigrants & homeless are not the enemy
Luigi. Proved. They. Are. Completely. Vulnerable.
He shot someone and he's going down.
That's the way it goes.
It's rat-fucking all the way down.

It's not a stretch, the connection is straight line.

I don’t t agree with Mangione’s actions but I am British so have the NHS, if I had obscene amounts of debt from a serious illness I might
I agree with his lawyer, he is being paraded, used as political fodder & a fair trial seems unlikely
So predictable but his only chance to get out.
His lawyers will probably argue that he had no chance on due process and a fair trial and that UHC, due to his monetary and political power, de facto classifies as an government entity.
And therefor is a legitimate

All it takes is one member of the jury to believe his lawyers.
I wonder if they will bring up the battle of Athens for their defence.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Athens_(1946)
His lawyer will argue they essentially tried and convicted him in public before he even set foot in court. Talk about screwing up the jury’s ability to be unbiased.
I don’t know if you saw it, but his lawyer already argued something like that to the judge.
That is why I have none for Brian Thompson.
The peasants are not getting representation, we’re paying the heaviest taxes, and we have been financially oppressed for thirty years. UHC CEO will not be the only one.

Did he pull the trigger yes/no
Did the bullets he fired kill someone yes/no
If yes/yes = guilty. Who the victim was (shouldn't) matter.
The mayor IS up on corruption charges, hoping to get them vacated by an even more corrupt incoming president
The sideshow they're turning this into in building Manguone support rather than eroding it, and may blw up in their faces in an unexpected way
Our country has a long history of violence towards its people.
KFA is an amazing woman and attorney! Love me some Mistrial!
MURDER.
Although we are one of the few w/o universal healthcare, if we cannot put that in place, at a minimum, these companies should not be able to be listed on the stock exchange where profits are king.
Thompson might have been a piece of shit. It doesn't give a random person the right to kill him.
Do you want people in this country who don't like you having the POWER - the ABSOLUTE RIGHT - to kill you? I don't.
We have laws & murder isn't allowed for ALL OUR safety.
The system is rigged now more than ever.
Is your solution to give people the legal right to kill if they believe that a corp or govt employee has wronged them?
Could get lots of shootings quickly
*Wait too long for tax refund?
*Don't like pic DMV took of you?
*Treated poorly at a restaurant?
Scary
But it isn't working our how they are thinking.
It's actually making Luigi into a martyr.
But they are oblivious to the sheer number of people they have made suffer and even die with their actions and inactions.
Those people are both conservatives and liberals.
