Why? He didn’t shoot Charlie Kirk
- So I'm not the only one thinking this.
  
  Sheriff: When’d you shoot him?
  Arrestee: What?
  Sheriff: At what point did you shoot the clerk?
  Arrestee: I shot the clerk?
  Sheriff: Yes. When did you shoot him?
  Arrestee: I shot the clerk?
Luigi Mangione did nothing wrong. He’s the John Brown of our lifetime.
- Isn’t this the classic 2nd amendment argument given? We need more good guys with guns to take out the bad guys
- If Luigi even IS the shooter! I'm still on the fence.
  
  Pretty sure the shooter was in Utah today.
  
  The state has a case to prove that's for damn sure.
This dude needs to be made a general in the class war.
New York, Pennsylvania, Federal charges are all separate by the sounds of it.
Mangione's Pennsylvania lawyer Thomas Dickey was preparing to blame the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that he is stuck in New York and can't appear in Pennsylvania court. Delays of bringing his client to the courtroom, which if it doesn't begin within 365 days for reasons caused by the Commonwealth's failure to exercise due diligence, is grounds for filing for dismissal of the Pennsylvania charges he was initially arrested on, according to his lawyer's memos.
(ETA: His lawyer has other strategies too, obviously. Many related to the constitutionality of his arrest at the McDonald's)
Does that mean they're going through with the state and federal cases separately, then?
- I suspect this is just an excuse to charge him with anything in case if the murder charges fall through. They want to aggressively pursue anything against Luigi.
  
  I don't think the murder charges are going to fall through. He was at the location, he was caught fleeing the location with the illegal firearm which he designed and built at home and $10,000 cash in his backpack. He has an online history of promoting violence against CEOs. The murder charges are concrete.
