You can't put an idea in jail

[@MaijaKarklins]

Die Gedanken sind frei.

[@myheartisinjapan3184]

I couldn’t POSSIBLY roll my eyes any harder. Now he’s a terrorist? You know who terrorizes those of us needing healthcare every day don’t you! SPARE US THE BS!

[@wayner9765]

Luigi Mangione is the sanest person in America.

[@PenelopePitstop0078]

Yeah, we know. But, you can’t jail an ideal.

[@ryansteve2893]

Lies! He was at my place, we were smoking a little weed. I got you Luigi.

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

Who's going to find him guilty. Jury nullification!

[@SeanSmithDTD]

If they label his a terrorist, they'll have already lost. The state will show how much they're not 'for the people' and the jury will take note.

[@mattmaloney5988]

It’s interesting that such a high degree, this well experienced prosecutor is unable to see this case from any other point of view.

[@АнастасияП-ф4е]

Deny. Defend. Depose. Free Luigi!

[@MalaThrax]

HERO of the people

[@jamesjahnke5721]

Not my hero. You don't set your standards very high.

[@watchyamouth5053]

Why is he being celebrated, I don’t get it?

[@roguelegend4945]

he might look similar but he is not the guy...

[@CERTIFIEDAMERICAN1]

LUIGI FOR PEOPLE # FREE LUIGI

[@JaneJetsin]

Bend Luigi over and give us free linguine.

[@PenelopePitstop0078]

Class warfare is inevitable.

[@Arfarf69]

Free Luigi !!!

[@David-np2kt]

From this moment on, never forget to use a mangione pic at the claim department of your health insurance.

[@yellowllorente]

What evidence? They didn't capture his face during the crime. Just a person in a hooded jacket. It could be anyone... Just saying...

[@ReinersBlauerHoden]

Yes bc there are no such things like fingerprints

[@ADashOfChaos0]

Or secret third option: Jury nullification

[@ypeacock032]

High intelligence often goes hand in hand with schizophrenia. Stay strong Luigi with are with you!

[@ryansteve2893]

NULL JURY!!!! Forgot to mention that.

[@ArthurC.Stewart]

Im a retired county law enforcement officer. Jury Nullification is rare,,,,I mean EXTREMELY RARE. 😅😅😅😅😅

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

@@ArthurC.Stewart It will happen this time. Who's going to condemn him?

[@ArthurC.Stewart]

@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 LOL. Well,,might happen. I never say "Never". They let OJ go too. But any trial is MONTHS away. Plus if found Guilty ,,next comes ty9e MANY Multiple Appeals. My life motto,, "Lifes not always Fun. But it sure is INTERESTING!"😄

[@ArthurC.Stewart]

@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 We will see, lol. OJ was found not guilty too.

[@ryansteve2893]

@@ArthurC.Stewart This case is on OJ level. I consider this that rare.

[@RefrigeratorWilliamPerry]

When the moon hits your eyes like a big pizza pie, that’s Luigi!!!!!!!!💯

[@Bearlyontime]

Now he's going to have the best health care for all his ailments for free at the expense of the taxpayers dollars😂

[@RR-iv6ol]

The defence does not have to prove anything, that’s the prosecution to do this.

[@ArthurC.Stewart]

TRUE,LOL. And seems that wil be Extremely EASY .😅😅

[@kxywrld]

if you like him , ask him out lol

[@ArthurC.Stewart]

LOL. Or the women in America cheering for him? Can be a Prison Bride? Not sure if NY has conjugal visits though.😅😅😅

[@dkg_gdk]

Oh no, please lets talk about the drones, thats whats really important

[@ReinersBlauerHoden]

He needs the chewbacca defense

[@arealpiapotboy]

So, a guy with a severe back injury was physically pushed up against the wall by 4 cops AND showed no signs of crumpling over OR reacting in pain??

[@RobertFach]

Male in his mid-twenties, prior alienation of family, I see a defense based on schizophrenia, and "fog of pain" developing.

[@ArthurC.Stewart]

Each state has differing "Insanity" criteria. Even fog of pain/schizophrenia rarely wins. And some states have Guilty but insane. Only means he does life in a prison psych ward. Im not sure what New Yorks ststem is.

[@RobertFach]

@@ArthurC.Stewart Sometimes all you have is mitigation.

[@Twenty10sMedia]

Terrorism? Lol okay. What is Trump?? lol his klans ?

[@downercowzzz.3236]

Why only 2nd degree? New York, you're acting like Oklahoma.

[@DuaneHallinSD]

I wondered that too. It seems this should be premeditated first degree.

[@PenelopePitstop0078]

Has to meet certain criteria for 1st degree.

[@BlackJesusOk]

Charges should be brought against the law enforcement team and all the insurance companies.
