Moments after Luigi Mangione was handcuffed at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, a police officer searching his backpack found a loaded gun magazine wrapped in a pair of underwear.

The discovery, recounted in court Monday as Mangione fights to keep evidence out of his New York murder case, convinced police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that he was the man wanted in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan five days earlier.

"A loaded gun magazine" aka just a magazine, you don't describe a magazine as loaded. They just wanted to use the word loaded to make it seem more dangerous so the jury sees him as violent

Gun magazines can be empty.

“Loaded” seems perfectly fine to describe a full magazine.

Its natural to say “reload my magazine”

[–] LambeauLeap@sopuli.xyz 15 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Magazines are actually empty by default

This is literally the only unflattering photo of him I've ever seen. He looks like a mob enforcer berating his lawyer.

I know I don't have a gun, but I have a hard time that you'd bring more than the single magazine you'd have loaded in the gun if your intention is to kill someone then disappear.

The CIV franchise has really gone down hill since Luigi left the team.
