As a British lad, I've been keeping tabs on the news about this guy and the wide support he's getting.

With so much support, surely the public will get him out of jail just to spite the bastard rich kids and their CEO baron fathers?

The Man who was shot allowed a massive corporation to dangle its strings over people's lives, medication being pulled away which is horrifying to me who uses the NHS as my primary medical service for hearing.

What do you think? Will Luigi "The CEO Reaper" Mangione ever get out of prison?

Politics aside. The court is not going to grant bail to anyone accused of first degree murder who is a flight risk. And given the current narrative seems to be that he shot a man in NYC and was found several states away I'd say they'd consider him a flight risk.

Last I read, he has not requested bail. They wouldn't let him out, anyway, and he's smart enough that he knows it--he attacked the ruling class and they want to make an example of him.

[-] orcrist@lemm.ee 12 points 15 hours ago

I think you mean to say he allegedly attacked the ruling class. That whole pesky innocent until proven guilty thing, it's so irritating.

The has yet to prove their case, all we got so far is some vague suggestions of evidence and heavy media narrative weaving

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I'm fairly certain they set his charges without bail. If so it means no amount of money would allow him out. (For the time until his court cases)

If I'm wrong about that, please let me know someone... Because that's what I always thought without bail meant

[-] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Making bail is the least of his concerns in there. He will be lucky if he doesn't get "Epstein'd".

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 5 points 15 hours ago

If his trial starts going his way, he definitely will.

We do have an wild tradition of suicide in this country when people are causing owner class problems

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 20 points 22 hours ago

His haircut and shave are signs the other prisoners are sending to the guards that this man is protected and not to fuck with him.

[-] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 20 hours ago

The only resource I can find about this phenomenon is a threads discussion about Luigi. You wouldn't happen to have an alternate source, would you?

they better hire someone better than the guy who killed Epstein then. Should they fail enough to leave even a scent of foul play I bet the gates will open to many copycats.

nothing does more for a movement than a martyr.

The US is an oligarchy. Your worth as a human is directly tied to your monetary worth, starting at $1M. So no.

[-] No_Money_Just_Change@feddit.org 8 points 22 hours ago

But, his family is worth over a 100 million

[-] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 14 hours ago

Deff owner class but the owner class calling the shots here tbh.

Luigi went straight for the king makers here

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 53 points 1 day ago

The ruling class doesn't want him martyred but they want him killed so very much.

My bets are he is given a life sentence with a groomed jury and he is extrajudicially executed in prison by an unknown agent.

groomed jury

Oh you'd be surprised. There's a lot of people that have the "Murder is Murder" mindset, its not hard to find those and convene a jury.

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago

what's funny is that since his motive was based on Brian killing people through executive actions that will come into play for those "murder is murder" people.

If murder is murder, then why wasn't Brian brought to justice before this unfortunate event? Also, why aren't his accomplices in UHC not brought to justice today?

He's still going to jail, he's going to lose and he knows that....but the case will be streamed and Luigi and his lawyers will pose the message not to the jury, but to the public.

he lost the battle so that we can fight the war.

[-] orcrist@lemm.ee 3 points 15 hours ago

You got to wait for the trial. Throughout history, but especially this year, we've seen many famous trials where the cops blatantly lied about evidence of course in press reports as they often do but also in court on the stand under oath. Just because you heard it doesn't mean it's true. Just because someone told you they have evidence of something, doesn't mean they do.

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Those same people conveniently refuse to consider murder with a con (pay us now for Healthcare when you inevitably get sick) and and pen (lol we were lying thanks for all the money go die now) to be murder.

"Bail Out" Just means "Temporarily let go until court date". It's not a "Get out of jail free" card.

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 5 points 18 hours ago
[-] 777@lemmy.ml 101 points 1 day ago

I expect he will be denied bail if they can show the evidence against him is strong enough. Even if you have enough money, that’s just not a guarantee. They don’t set the bail at $50mn or something, it’s just not an option offered.

The boring but probably correct answer is he never breathes free air again, and his best case scenario is avoiding the death penalty.

The working class, no matter how much money they pull together, cannot battle the ruling class in this way. He will not be allowed bail if we even tried

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

It would be a shame if a few people in NYC started posting signs on every corner with a brief description of jury nullification and a QR code with a link to explain it further until the trial is over.

Luigi Mangione is a random person who attacked corporate America. Therefore, he is utterly fucked. Whatever anyone does to help him, ultimately his fate is already sealed.

[-] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 46 points 1 day ago

He did the math and decided that one moment of action was worth more to him than it cost. The rich of America need to see that vast wealth inequality leads to more and more people coming to the same conclusion. That's why they will make sure he is sentenced to death, to let us know what the cost will be. But a life lived in misery is only worth so much, and death is the worst they can do.

The capitalists are in charge, but they are also utterly fucked.

The last thing you want to do with a spartacus-type enemy is to make them a martyr. They already fucked up by parading him around with those guards while he looks like the second coming of Christ. Nailing him to the cross is not going to solve any of their problems.
