Dear Sweet Mother of God, this article does not hold back on the biting truth.
It's a worthwhile read with only one small mistake contained within:
There is no reliable evidence to suggest Mr. Mangione killed anyone. And I, for one, remain convinced he did not do that deed.
Hope Mangione is found innocent and he suits the shit out off all the media companies that declared guilty without any proof.
I'm fully convinced that if it ever starts looking like he might legitimately walk, he'll be Epstein'd. They want to keep that option for last resorts only because they understand the optics behind it, but I'm sure it's not completely off the table.
I doubt it in this case. He's not holding onto any secrets that he might spill. Killing him is only to their advantage if it sends a message "don't mess with us or you'll die". That works if he's convicted and executed, that doesn't work if it's seen as "a company will just assassinate you". They'd have to keep the assassination a secret, which would defeat the purpose.
But he has become a symbol greater than himself.
To wit:
You can’t kill an idea
In any case, if he is not convicted and walks free then the people will know that the actual shooter was never caught and that there were no consequences for his action. The only thing they can truly do is prolong this case for as long as is necessary so that the people can never be 100% sure that they didn't catch the actual shooter, or so they forget this all ever happened at all.
sues* of*
I'm so sick of everyone making me repeat myself with this:
Luigi was.
With me.
The morning.
Of the murder.
He physically could not have committed the crime from another location. We were setting up for our friend's dad's birthday party and he was busy getting the balloons ready.
Not guilty.
Can confirm, I was there too. It was an early one and we had to get him up, I remember; that guy could sleep through like fifteen alarms.
Like Brian Thompson, Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock, is one of the people that Luigi Mangione didn't kill.
Thank you for this link. Goodness, this guy is a horrible human being.
I keep coming back to this, but why do the evil twisted fucks behind evil PURE evil shit always have comedic "cartoon villain" names like fucking Fink?!
I like nominative determinism better when it's funny.
It actually doesn't hold back on the biting lie, their source says pretty much the opposite and the lawsuit is about earnings forecasts and stock price manipulation.
I'm pretty sure a piano fell on that guy.
It's worth noting that this is a blog post, and not reporting from an accountable journalistic agency.
I don't see anything obviously incorrect, but it's worth noting the source.
