Mangione, 26, appeared in court wearing a green cable knit sweater over a white shirt. He was brought into the courtroom in leg and arm shackles and wearing a bulletproof vest.
Theater to make him look like a villain that people want to shoot at.
Lol they said that and my first thought was, “what, is there a risk of some billionaire CEO bursting into the courtroom to exact revenge?”
absolutely not. The federal charges have the death penalty attached.
Remember, the rich fucks need this to end. They certainly don’t want us getting ideas. And the fastest way to do that would be to have him wind up dead before they can drag his name through the mud in a show trial. that would turn him into a martyr.
Killing this guy is a very good way to piss off a lot of poor people who like him. The rich fucks need this to end in a relatively short prison sentence
Hey, it just takes one unhinged rich dude to not think for a second, and I can count many years of combined thoughtlessness from just one idiot alone.
At this point, Musk sending his kid into the courtroom in a bomb vest probably isn’t off the table.
I mean kinda…you know Trump’s type
idk even the MAGAts like Luigi
Not only was he illegally searched, but McDonald’s is likely engaging in illegal facial recognition based surveillance, possibly in collusion with the federal government.
No way a random McDonald’s worker could randomly point out that Mangione looks like the suspect, of which we had very few photos.
Not to mention the solitary confinement, although unfortunately, I’m not sure that’s illegal, even given the 8th amendment.
Good point about the snitch. If it was an actual person, I feel like we’d all know their name by now, no matter how hard they tried to keep it under wraps.
That rat nancy parker got nothin for snitching and got fired… good riddance
Solitary confinement is absolutely unconstitutional, but good luck convincing someone that it’s cruel and unusual if they’ve never been subject to it
Seems like the cops planted all that evidence, not guilty
I mean, plenty of people were saying that right when he was first arrested. The dude was able to evade capture for an entire week while the entire country was on the lookout for him… He even had time to leave memeable fake breadcrumbs, like his backpack full of Monopoly money… And yet he never thought to break apart the ghost gun he used, and dispose of it in random trash cans so they’d be virtually impossible to trace back to him? He had a goddamned manifesto on him, like it was a signed confession?
Yeah, no. His arrest smells like “accidentally” disabled body cams and planted evidence.
