#is it because of Luigi?

Ace Attorney is trending for the 2nd time today, why?

[venusssssssssss]

legit so annoyed about the way the corporate media wants to paint those women waiting outside the court as crazy and as only being there because Luigi is hot. I looked up pictures of them outside the court and they all held signs and were there to send a message: "health over wealth", "denial of medical care = violence", "murder for profit = terrorism", "the United States healthcare stole my livelihood", "insurance lobbyists line politicians' pockets", "healthcare reform NOW". Yeah, they're there because he's hot for sure. Also, there were a lot of men as well but hey, that's not helping the narrative right?

I feel like I need to reiterate this, Americans, we do not EVER turn anyone in for the reward money, because the reward money is a LIE!

There will be a reason they come up with for not giving it to you. Even Nancy, the snitch at McDonald's, who everyone in the world knows turned in Luigi Mangione, will not get a penny of the reward money. The reason she is getting is that she called 911 instead of the tip line.

But there are other reasons, like, the cops already had the info you gave them from "other sources". "Lots of other people" called in the same tip. The reward was "up to" the amount promised, so you're getting $1.50. You didn't do the proper paperwork before you gave the tip. And just about anything else you can think of.

They won't give any money out until the person is actually convicted, not just arrested. It could take years for a case to even get to court. If the suspect takes a plea deal, then did your info really lead to a "conviction"? Or by the time the suspect is convicted, suddenly the money is not there. Reward money? What reward money? It isn't like they have it sitting in a box waiting to hand it over to you after the conviction. No, after the conviction, now they need to try to find the amount they put up for the reward. And who's budget is that going to come out of? Who wants to put that money in your pocket instead of their own? Okay? Understand? Got it?

You never get the reward money!

quite frankly idgaf what Luigi Mangione’s politics are, he actually did something to make a change and that’s more than most people can say

I really try not to be a conspiracy theorist but I’m seriously flip flopping on whether or not I believe Luigi Mangione actually did it, on one hand this guy’s digital footprint is too vast to not be a real person with real motive, but on the other hand the circumstances of how they caught him are so odd that it just doesn’t add up, like, he wore very nondescript clothing and a mask the day of the shooting, suggesting he doesn’t want to be identified, despite this they were somehow able to identify him at a hostel in different clothing without a mask, he not only fled the scene but allegedly fled New York with a fake ID that the police recovered, several days later they found him in Pennsylvania carrying around all of the evidence in his backpack, including a manifesto, gun, and fake ID, the police also claim he had somewhere between $8,000-$12,000 in his bag, yet when asked about it Luigi claims he had no idea where the money came from and suggests it was planted (which raises several more alarm bells because if this “evidence” was planted then what else could they have fabricated to “catch” this guy?)

this not mentioning the fact that I find it really odd that this guy didn’t digitally publish his manifesto and instead chose to carry a physical copy of it around for days

this all could mean that he wanted to get caught but if that’s the case why go to Pennsylvania at all? why not just stay in New York?

I will say, though, that I think some of this can also be explained by this comment on Reddit:

regardless, the circumstances are suspicious as hell

edit: I realized I forgot to mention this part but it’s also so suspicious how everyone, the police, the media, whatever, are all 100% certain that Luigi Mangione did it, I’ve seen so many high profile cases where cops do press conferences and say “this is America, the suspect is innocent until proven guilty!” yet they’re not even calling Luigi a suspect, they’re outright saying he is the shooter and that he did do it, that’s just weird to me

This guy fucks hard I know it

[cloudsrust]

Got so many tags saying how much they liked Luigi's overalls (which makes me so happy because it's the part I kept personalizing the most during the years I've drawn him! :,>)- I wanted to show how my take on the bros mirror each others.

I like to think Luigi is the one who sews and patches up both of their clothes/overalls when they inevitably get roughed up during adventuring- mostly Mario's ones though.

I just want to share why I absolutely do not give a fuck that Brian Thompson had a family. It’s simple.

I have one too.

Me, who:

Was born needing heart surgery, and if a team of six surgeons hadn’t argued for me while I was in the womb, I would’ve died at birth from internal bleeding. My parents would have had to watch their baby choke to death on his own blood.

Grew to suffer severe chronic pain through joint damage that I am unable to receive treatment for, and must go through with literally not even medication. The only mobility aid I have is a cane my father was unable to use anymore.

Was born with spinal deformity that developed into scoliosis. That I just have to live with because insurance says it isn’t severe enough for surgery, despite my hips being noticeably displaced to the point my legs are different lengths.

Needs allergy shots to be able to go outside without risking anaphylaxis. My family spent almost four years chasing them because insurance said I had to fail EVERY other drug and treatment on the market before I could have the shots. We were bounced from doctor to doctor, hospital to hospital, begging for treatments that we knew would fail. My parents spent thousands on failed treatments in a desperate attempt to get me ANY relief from the pain I went through daily.

Is incredibly lucky, because despite all the shit my family went through, I lived. We had just enough money to spare on trying to get me treatment.

I am lucky because I lived.

Millions of others did not.

My extended family has lost people because of health care denials. Too many everyday people have died for money in these people’s pockets.

Brian Thompson and scum like him are directly responsible for the deaths and suffering of millions of Americans. His money was made with blood, and he paid for it in blood.

Deny. Defend. Depose.
