Friend and former roommate of Luigi Mangione R.J. Martin joins Katy Tur to talk about what the 26-year-old murder suspect was like, saying he was always “giving, considerate and thoughtful.”
One interesting detail from this interview is that the Ted Kaczynski’s book was suggested half-jokingly by the interviewee and another friend for everyone at the bookclub to read. So Luigi had not searched out for the “unabomber manifesto” on his own, and would not be the type to do so, according to the interviewee.

On a different note, the NYTimes wouldn’t give you perspectives like these in their opeds.
To your last point, yes. But whataboutism is not what we do here, and bringing up the NYT in reference to an MSNBC piece is irrelevant. Your take is stronger without that.
That’s a very fair point. It was what’s on my mind, which is why I kept it out of the post body. Moved it into a sidenote.
I get that we’re all on edge. Thank you for being civil and understanding.
Luigi didn’t do it. He’s not the guy. The feds just used AI to scrape social media for a guy with a similar face who leans politically left, and then they planted their hidden evidence on him. They picked up the gun from the bag the shooter disposed of. It’s a disposable 3D printed gun. There’s no way the shooter carried that gun out of the state. He left it in the bag with the monopoly money, the cops found it and didn’t tell anyone, and they planted it on their fall guy.
Certain details give me the sense that a parallel construction of narrative is happening. I am waiting to hear what is presented in court, since the NYPD is saying they have all this evidence and all this “matching up”, but we have not seen any original copies.
