"Luigi Mangione was framed" is such a gentle and calming phrase to me, it doesn't need anything after it. Sure and likely enough, with the NYCPD alone, sure, sure. And with no trial and no conviction and no real reason to argue, yes, it's right and fair to say it. Luigi Mangione was framed.

You know they're gonna kill him anyway.

#it's so strange and distant the truth here and the end almost predetermined #a man selected to be sacrificed by the police to appease the billionaires #innocence or guilt have been rendered wholly irrelevant in a way because he was simply chosen #now they must ritualistically convict him through a jury that promises explicitly impartiality towards police and health insurance execs #a kind of performative impartiality where the jurors cannot treat police actions as realistically questionable #which must assume that the cruel practices of health insurance are themselves neutral #a jury required not to be skeptical of police or sympathetic to defendants because to acknowledge reality would be biased #just one more public murder by the state
