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?
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.
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 in another state. I’d say they’d consider him a flight risk.
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.
Making bail is the least of his concerns in there. He will be lucky if he doesn’t get “Epstein’d”.
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.
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.
What?
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.
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
You think the poor plebs have any power over the matter? This your first almost incitement of revolution that goes nowhere?

Personally I would prefer that he get out of jail as soon as he is not considered a risk to society, since that is the only valid justification for prisons. Maybe months, probably years. And then he can consider the evilness and futility of his act.
And for all the people celebrating it here, you might consider your own hypocrisy and outright callousness at defending the indefensible. I still can’t quite get over my shock at the level of hatred and vituperation here. I thought this community would be better than that.
From a person who knew Luigi Mangione, just published in Unherd:
But while thousands reacted on social media with laughter emojis to Thompson’s murder, I was sickened. Vigilantism is always wrong. If you celebrate someone gunning down a defenceless person in the street, then you advocate for a world in which this is an acceptable thing for anyone to do. You advocate for a world in which a stranger can decide that you’re also a bad person, and gun you down in the street. In such a world, I promise you, your health insurance would cost much more.
Get off your high horse and shut the fuck up. Were you shocked when people celebrated Kissinger or Bin Laden dying or do you only get upset at corporate America?

WE CURRENTLY LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE AN UNQUALIFIED STRANGER CAN DECIDE YOU DON’T DESERVE MEDICAL TREATMENT. Healthcare CEOs kill people EVERY DAY but we should draw the line when it’s a gun and not a denial letter? Get the fuck out of here with that logic.
Go point your outage at the millions of innocent people who die every day from preventable disease. Or if that’s too abstract for you, how about the people getting bombed and starved in Palestine?
Palestine? Kissinger? Completely irrelevant. You are advocating first-degree murder. Look in the mirror and start there.
The bureaucratic plumbing of American healthcare? So fix it then! Vote. Send letters. Get more involved in politics. Protest. What have you done about the problem you seem so worked up about, apart from cheer on a murderer? What?
If speaking out against vigilante murderers is “being on a high horse”, that’s fine by me and I’ll stay there.
Goddamn, you are insufferable.You’re not speaking out against vigilante murderers, you’re pearl clutching that people dare to lack empathy for someone completely devoid of it.
The “victim” attacked first by denying the killer healthcare.

Yes. How dare I have my own opinions and values that contradict yours?
Someone openly advocates murder and then talks of empathy. The hypocrisy is almost beyond words.
There you go again, deliberately misinterpreting to feel superior.
For sure, I feel morally superior to anyone who openly advocates murder. Not a high bar.
What a shame that your hand-wringing is causing second hand embarrassment for everyone who reads it.
A murder by policy and a murder by gunshot should be valued equally.
In a perfect world, someone with Brian’s insatiable, murderous greed disease would be put in a psychiatric hospital for public safety, along with every billionaire and hundred million plus inaire that treats society as their exploitation piggy bank, not that many people, but the sociopaths run the asylum here.
This is a class war, whether you choose to show your belly and say thank you for trading your life for their profit to your enemy or not. Brian was an enemy combatant of this class occupation.
