Okay Luigi absolutely didn't do it and this is a pin job

"Actually, cops fucked up basic procedure in a way that may (but also may not) completely wreck the state's case against him" is vastly more likely than "a vast conspiracy was formed to find one guy who fits the description and has a pattern of prior behavior and writings that suggest he did it".

Also, the whole "fruit of the poison tree" thing is not this hard binary that instantly makes all evidence inadmissible and lets people get off scot-free. That's not how it works.

But did you consider that the charging documents list his name LUIGI MANGIONE & not Luigi Mangione?

Tubalcain.

i mean one of these happens all the time, constantly, in real life, everywhere, but the other mostly just happens in the movies, but I like the movies. Inventing a new Razor for "whatever the most fun explanation is is the one that's true"

enoa-cm.bsky.social•25 days ago

surpassing dorner levels of people saying "this real event is a movie to me because I'm bored"

It's not necessarily a vast conspiracy though?

Cops plant evidence all the time. Especially under pressure from a media environment.

irongremlin.bsky.social•25 days ago

"vast conspiracy" is overstating it a bit given that all this really requires is a whole lot of political pressure (check), leadership willing to overlook malfeasance (check) and like a handful of crooked cops (in the NYPD? Surely not).

unionjay.bsky.social•25 days ago

Err, it is not any vast conspiracy to say the cops were under a lot of pressure and they might try to just frame someone who has the right look. That only requires very routine laziness and confirmation bias.

machete.gay•25 days ago

it is significantly less common and likely than the first thing

unionjay.bsky.social•25 days ago

Both are very common, especially under media pressure. This is really not anywhere near qanon.

fucking THANK YOU

God this entire story has been making me viscerally uncomfortable since moment one

rincewind.run•25 days ago

honestly I thought the take everyone was going with was “he did it and it rules” you gotta pick a lane here

doomboy.bsky.social•25 days ago

"he did it and it rules" does not preclude being found not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt!

machete.gay•25 days ago

Which, critically, is not what the OP I quoted is saying.

doomboy.bsky.social•25 days ago

oh not at all, i just wonder if some people roll with OP's aforementioned woke qanon theories bc they assume that they can't support him being found not guilty unless he actually didn't do it

crabitha.slutmo.de•25 days ago

lol like yeah this is good for the defense to use as a tool for reasonable doubt but like, come on. We’re just getting evidence tossed here.

jovialstarfish.bzky.team•25 days ago

I choose Schrödinger's Luigi

toasty.cx•25 days ago

personally my position is "idk if he did it or not but I still hope he gets off either way" and idk why more people can't be sensible, reasonable, and perfect like me

2ellen2degenerate.bsky.social•25 days ago

Do you actually think an employee called him the cops on him based on a partial video

adhdgobl.in•25 days ago

I'm afraid this ship has sailed. Say literally anything that QAnon freaks have said about Hillary Clinton but attribute it to Putin and you'll get a few million Facebook liberals making AI images to back it up within the hour.

zetsubo.bsky.social•25 days ago

he probably did it but if the cop fucked up and ruined their case because of it that's frankly a skill issue

jametc.bsky.social•25 days ago

how dare they, he did it and he's a hero for it

machete.gay•25 days ago

I'm not advocating for anything or making a broader statement, but if I committed an extremely funny, extremely public crime and a bunch of nerds online were making up a bullshit story about how I didn't do it, I would be pissed.
