I heard he was being held in another castle.
He’ll be back in the news when he goes to trial. He’ll really be in the news if jury nullification happens.
Just so everyone is aware, if jury nullifies this trial we will see the Supreme Court decide that nullification is no longer legal and is a criminal offense.
That is where the country is right now.
I’m praying that it will either be jury nullification or a full-blown acquittal since I have some doubts that he is the one.
It would actually be better if it turned out he was actually innocent. It means the actual killer got away completely scot-free.

This is kind of a disingenuous take. What do you expect the news to do? Every morning 1 hour of “We are still pre-trial, no new evidence…” What piece of news persists for months and months after it happens, especially something as “self contained” as a murder.
Why not? They did that for Hunter Biden’s laptop.
And Hillary’s emails, the 2020 election, the border “crisis” etc. They just keep shit on repeat until it its no longer useful
No election is standing on Luigi though.
“List of other people we think Luigi Mangione would like to kill” would be a good start.
You could probably start a tiktok trend if you make it cool enough.
Every day? You overestimate the attention span of the American public
US public also has goldfish memory. Its a wonder anyone bothers to even make new movies.
LOL largely we don’t. Have you seen the amount of sequels / spinoffs in theaters?
Yeah, I had the same reaction over the summer when people rediscovered the 2016 lawsuit that accused Trump of raping a 13 year old. Everyone was like, “Why is no one covering this???” Because they did. Eight years ago. Nothing new happened, it just got picked up by social media again.
Free Luigi. Patron saint of all of those denied for stupid reasons, including my friend who had to have his necrotic gallbladder removed last week, and one of those shitass insurance companies denied his hospital stay, because apparently your gallbladder should fall out of you itself or something.
Americans also have the memory of a goldfish, tbf. Look at who they elected president because they forgot how bad things were just 4 years prior.
Not a bright lot there in the states.
Sorry, I was distracted, can you say that again
Unfortunately, it’s kinda just how our courts work. There really isn’t anything “new” to talk about his case until his next trial date on February 17. Not that there aren’t some conversations we all need to have about it, and how people feel about what he allegedly did. But right now everyone is distracted from that by the horse loose in the hospital. Hopefully at some point that trick stops working on us.
I mean, sure yeah. Also, though, most Americans are just dumb.
He got charged December 9, and lets be real, there were other orange skinned bits of news that the average asshole was more interested in then him by them.
No, two weeks is our attention span and that’s stretching it.
Mine is about 5 minutes.
Why would he be in media when nothing is happening?
Dicks out for Luigi 🍆🫡
That’s a parade I would join.
The next court date has been set for February 21.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/23/us/luigi-mangione-arraignment-new-york/index.html
As much as I’d like to believe it’s a conspiracy, news organizations make money from clicks. There isn’t much for them to monetize between now and February 21, so they’re focusing on more immediate stuff.
If they can get good photos and text from the next court date, Luigi will get more coverage.
Edit: there have been like five plane crashes, one US inauguration, and major US wildfires since his last court date.
Yeah. I agree. I know the news media has agendas to push, but stretching like this is counterproductive to starting or encouraging a movement.
Great points. Knowing the public is favorable towards Luigi, media outlets will definitely want to capitalize on any developments and opportunities to report on him since it’d generate clicks
Wait did you post this before the DC one tonight?!
I meant all the ones around Xmas, but yeah.
Billionaires own all the media so it’s not surprising.
That’s not really it, it’s just another money thing. Outrage gets better numbers.
Why not both?
Because billionaires will gladly promote the killing of billionaires if it made them richer. Capitalism co-opts everything.
I propose a Billionaire Hunger Games. One Billionaire takes all. Participation is mandatory once your net worth hits a billion.
News has always had a short attention span. I doubt that in this case it’s in any way related to the specific events. It’s just the usual.
The world needs more Luigis
You’re not wrong
What the world needs more of is Bernie Sanders, not convicts.
They had a Bernie, he didn’t work, so they needed a Luigi.
Aka peaceful revolution, violent revolution and such.
Luigi didn’t do anything and now hes in Jail, throwing his rich boy education away.
They never got to Bernie, did they?
Well keep trying.
The problem is if we don’t get a leader to fix things we’re gonna get many many more Luigi’s.
Yea, would have been the least violent way… I see it like that too
Luigi hasn’t been convicted yet
we don’t even know if he’s the perp or some scapegoat
i mean, let’s be honest, his ass is 100% getting convicted.
But the user above said:
What the world needs more of is Bernie Sanders, not convicts.
That is an appeal to authority fallacy.
Legality =/= Morality
Not everyone convicted of crimes have necessarily done an immoral act.
The American Revolution were rebels committing treason against the British Empire, yet, because they won, they are hailed as heros in the new America. Imagine if they lost, they would be the “convicts” the user above were describing.
it may be true that he isn’t currently a convict, but he is most certainly going to become a convict, so it’s not entirely factually incorrect, just misrepresented.
you can call it an appeal to authority fallacy, but unless you’re going to overthrow the government, you must quite literally, appeal to the authority.
Even if he’s convicted, we still wont know if he’s the perp or some scapegoat.
Believing he’s a scapegoat requires you to also believe the fbi is incredibly competent, and were able to find a person wearing similar clothes as the perp who also happened to be in the same general area who also hated CEOs and then blast his face across the media then let him go for 4 days before picking him up in a different state.
Not to mention if the “real” killer struck again, the whole charade falls apart in the worst way.
That’s not a foregone conclusion.
He could be Epsteined any day now.
Maybe… maybe not
epstein was a pedophile, nobody cared that he died.
But if Luigi dies under suspicious circumstances, he could potentially become a martyr and spark more copycats.
Por que no Los dos?
Ah you mean the guy who sold out to Hillary. Yea we definitely need more sellouts with beach houses.
You mean the guy who WAS sold out to Hillary.
What would the news headline be?
Luigi Still In Custody While Waiting For Hearing
or
Mangione’s Attorneys Presumably Working Hard
or
Brian Thompson Still Dead
News doesn’t tend to report when things are the same as they were yesterday. If his lawyers aren’t talking to the press, and the prosecutors aren’t talking to the press, and the trial won’t start for another month, what exactly are the reporters going to report on?
“Plenty of space on pavement outside NY Hilton for other billionaires to take a snooze” might work!
There are whole genre dedicated to court cases and legal speculation, news reporting also gets ramped up to 11 when celebrities are involved.
I would love to see the headlines if this was the norm.
President Carter Still Dead, We Confirmed
Obama Not President, Maybe Enjoying Retirement?
Epstein’s Suicide Not Being Investigated
Actually any headline of something not happening sounds super suspicious lol
It would be nice to have a week of that kind of news just to get a break from the current doom news.
It sometimes happens during summer holidays, when journalists have nothing to write about.
As long as actual reporting went on afterwards it would be an upgrade
1+1=2
S(1)=2
So news only reports the news. How bizarre. This must be a conspiracy.
Brian Thompson has not yet reformed at his phylactery. Industry experts speculate his phylactery may have been destroyed in the California wildfires.
I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there’s nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there’s no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be.
We know things are bad – worse than bad. They’re crazy. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: ‘Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone.’
Well, I’m not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! I don’t want you to protest. I don’t want you to riot – I don’t want you to write to your congressman, because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write. I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you’ve got to get mad. You’ve got to say: ‘I’m a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!’
So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’
I want you to get up right now. Sit up. Go to your windows. Open them and stick your head out and yell – ‘I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ Things have got to change. But first, you’ve gotta get mad!…You’ve got to say, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first, get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!
The windows to my apartment can’t be opened :(
You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I. WON’T. HAVE IT!

Ok buddy
Only posthumous winner of Best actor in a leading role, right there.
