Summary
Sam Beard, organizer of Luigi Mangione’s legal defense fund, claims the dramatic “perp walk” resembling Hannibal Lecter’s treatment backfired on New York authorities, boosting donations to over $743,000.
Mangione, charged with murder and terrorism for allegedly killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, received heightened security during extradition, drawing public sympathy.
Critics argue the campaign glorifies violence, while supporters emphasize fair trial rights.
Mangione, who pleaded not guilty, faces the death penalty if convicted.
Given the success He should start his Presidental run right now. ( I want at least to see this movie )
Ya know, a certain citizen gone president recently employed the tactic to avoid persecution for his crimes… Can we drag the Mangione case another 3 ish years so Luigi can declare for presidency? Then (based on precedent) his case has to stall until after the election.
A president once said “ I could shoot someone on fifth Ave. and not lose any votes”
I want to see a gun duel between Luigi and Trump. We can put together an Old West stage town, and let it play out.
turns out, it’s a pretty good campaign move.
Turns out it only matters who he shoots.
for the left; yes. for the right: there are better and worse targets, but it’s the suffering that matters.
well, he hasn’t shot anyone, but he is responsible for many many many deaths.
