Luigi Mangione shouts a message to the American people on his way to court:

“This is completely unjust and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience.”

Epstein was killed because he knew things and was still a threat to the rich. Luigi doesn't have anything to say that would hurt the rich anymore. In fact, killing him in prison would be incredibly short sighted by the rich - they need to stop the rest of us from mobilizing in his honor - which killing him out of revenge would not accomplish. The same news sources that tried to make us care about the evil assassin and helpless CEO will now try to character assassinate Luigi and make him a pariah. He can't galvanized a generation if he's a weirdo.

I agree they are already desperately trying to paint him as a bad person, but so far it had the opposite effect. They will probably come up with some definitely not made up "revelations" about him soon.

There was already an article about him playing Among Us, and how he would play as the "assassin".

Sooooo..... They are already trying, even with the dumbest shit.

I read that, it was stupid and seemed to imply you opt in to be the imposter instead of it being randomly assigned, which would completely destroy the point of the game if it worked that way. Since the point is you don't know who the killer is.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

Completely nonsensical article, like it was written to cater to idiots who think video games cause violence.

I had thought that stupidity was thoroughly smashed years ago, especially with the rise in video game Ayers and decrease in violent crime, but... You know... Stupid finds a way I guess.

He was at the Diddy Party where he penned the script for Velma

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Well we don't know if Luigi is the actual assassin or not, a lot of reason to Epstein him if you know itll be obvious he didn't do it, but still need a fallguy so you can maintain the illusion of control.

This makes me think of a fact I heard the others day; the reason "heretics" used to be burned was so that there was nothing left to have as artifacts to be worshipped.

Ie the ruling class was trying to avoid martyrdom of the burned.
