Excerpt:

Prosecutors highlighted “about $10,000 — $8,000 in U.S. dollars and then $2,000 in foreign currency that was found on his person,” CNN correspondent Danny Freeman said following the court hearing.

“Also they said that he had a Faraday bag,” which blocks cell signals, a move that prosecutors alleged marked “an indication of criminal sophistication and reason they should hold him on bail,” Freeman continued.

After prosecutors made the claims, Mangione said he would like to “correct two things.”

“I don’t know where any of that money came from — I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication,” the suspect said in a statement that suggested police framed him.

the way they portray him and the tone of the whole thing is just so fucking slimy

"Do you realize how much money the wealthy are losing right now?"

"OMG how could a person born into wealth that is clearly incredibly intelligent, ever think about doing something like this? There are better ways to slowly let millions of people die over denied coverage and ignore it. How could he."

They're now also blaming Among Us for training him into an assassin, apparently.

LOL “quick, do the ‘it was video games!’ distraction “

So thin and weak

Of this is true... Damn. Two thoughts come to mind when reading this.

  1. Rockstar Games has done so little with GTA for such a long time it is no longer the default 'turn kids into criminals'-simulator.
  2. I am fucking old.
[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago

Remember when Jack Thompson was relevant? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

All those kids that started playing GTA too young are now grown and taking it out on society because they don't have a new GTA to work through their urges in.

If you dont remember shooting lines of Elvis impersonators with an above head view and bullets that projectiles slowly across the screen, you're not that old

smh the sus guy strikes again, this time out of retirement

[–] eatCasserole@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

A game with "500+ M downloads" on google play, plus like a dozen other platforms it's on.

If 0.001% of among us players became CEO assassins, I don't think we'd have any CEOs left.

UnitedHealth Group has lost $45 billion in value since CEO Killing

"Do you realize how much the wealthy are losing right now?"

Clearly, not nearly enough.

"Hey! This guy doesn't worship the Dollar! Slander him!"

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago

They can call us inhumane but they're the ones who got us thinking of human lives in dollar values

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

They can't have us realize its that easy to take our country back from the corporations that own it or their entire power structure and caste society comes crashing down.

[–] underwire212@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago

This whole thing is sooo fucking smelly. So, so very smelly

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl -4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Dont post pictures of headliness. Post links to the articles.

I mean those weren’t screenshots of headlines, they were a significant portion of the articles. At the time though it was just coming from CNN’s live coverage page, which I tried to link to above

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The reason you need to give links isn't because its not showing all the text. Its to prevent misinformation and to let people who are blind be able to read the article.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure, agreed, I posted screenshots on the fly as I saw the info. That being said is it was a “live feed” page and information was being changed on the fly with a single URL

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yes, even more of a reason to supply the link
