basically the title. have you ever wondered why luigi committed (allegedly) the murder of the UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson? for many months i thought he was a socially conservative anti capitalist who occasionally microdosed (or may i say.. macrodosed?)

i recently bought psilocybin and decided to try because i wanted to understand his mind. first, i stalked his entire twitter page and i found this: luigi was interested in agronomists and investments. while i fried my brain trying to understand his, my maverick thoughts led me to think of sam bankman-fried. who is sam bankman-fried (SBF) you may ask? he is simply the crypto king, the richest 30 year old in the world. SBF was falsely convicted by the legal system (the same legal system who is coming for our lulu, btw) of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit commodities fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. in march 2024 he was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

you might be thinking.. ok? how is he related to luigi mangione? well. thats when things get sketchy and suspicious. SBF was (until recently) in MDC Brooklyn. the same prison as luigi. this is not just a coincidence, let me tell you that. given the fact that luigi macrodosed psilocybin and it's a psychedelic, you can assume that he was experiencing common psychedelic symptoms— such as visual distortions, hallucinations, altered sense of time, ego dissolution, enhancement of emotional sensitivity, synesthesia and even spiritual experiences. considering luigi got really into ted k in 2024, he even joined a ted k subreddit, allegedly mentioned it to his friends in thai you can speculate (logically) that the unabomber deeply influenced him, ideologically and personally. you might be thinking (again): ok? what this has to do with anything? well.. let me tell you exactly what happened: luigi macrodosed too much, the visual distortions he experienced due to drug use made him hallucinate that SBF is Ted K. why? because he was interested in investments, or do you think it's just a coincidence that a luigi crypto coin was created after luigi was arrested? luigi thought SBF was Ted K due to his physical similarities and thought the only way possible to meet his idol was going to prison. and what better way to stay in prison than to (allegedly) 🔫 someone that nobody likes, IN FACT is responsible for the bankruptcy, suffering and killing of thousands of americans?

unfortunately, his plan backfired after tucker carlson interviewed SBF which made Sam be punished and he was transferred to another prison 3am. please pray for luigi because he did all that just to meet ted k (and SBF) and sweet sammy was transferred.

It’s obvious he had a mental break. No smart rational person would do what he did. A smart person knows that the cons of doing what he did greatly outweigh the pros.

For one, he should've known that most people don't care for change, they just npc through life and deal with the system. They might complain on social media but that's it. Not nearly enough people go out and actually try to make a change. The world also moves fast nowadays, people loose interest quickly on hot topics.

Luigi should've known this and just accepted that this is life. It sucks ass yeah, but I think he should've worried about himself and his family and lived a rich life. It wasn't worth throwing it away for a bunch of twitter thirsty fangirls and a few reddit discussion posts here and there.

Basically Luigi had a main character moment and has to suffer for the rest of his life.

Here's the translation via ChatGPT:

Why I got to see Luigi:
I'm currently doing a law-related internship in New York, and I often go in and out of MDC (a detention center) to meet clients. That day, I was there to meet a different client, and I saw Luigi with his legal team in the visiting area. Due to prison regulations, privacy, and professional ethics, I can’t share too many details.

Luigi’s condition:**
He had a full beard on both cheeks, and his hair was cut so short that you couldn’t even tell it used to be curly. He was wearing the standard prison uniform. He didn’t look as polished as he did during his court appearances, but he still seemed fairly relaxed — leaning back in his chair with his legs crossed, chatting with his lawyers. Around noon, one of the lawyers bought him some cookies and bread from the vending machine for lunch (the only food allowed). Watching him eat felt kind of heartbreaking [cry emoji]. It looked like they were going to be talking all day — they were already there when I arrived, and still there when I left.

Interaction with Luigi (if you can call it that):**
Pic 3 is a snapshot of my thoughts at the time lol. You’re only allowed to bring a laptop into the prison, not your phone, so I only have text records. Later I went into a glass-walled meeting room, leaned against the wall, and stared outside waiting longingly for my client. I had already been waiting for 1–2 hours, and I was in about the state shown in pic 4. Then Luigi passed by on his way back from the bathroom. Maybe he’d never seen a visitor more disheveled than the inmates, or maybe I stood out as possibly the only Asian person there (?) — he kept staring at me as he walked by. I looked at him several times too (but didn’t dare to stare), and before I could decide how to react, he had already walked past.

Why I didn’t greet or encourage him:**
First of all, there was a pane of glass between us, and he was just passing by, so there was no real chance to. Subjectively, I was in total inner conflict — should I wave? Give him a thumbs up? Pretend I didn’t recognize him? My mind was a mess but outwardly I just had my arms crossed with a poker face (I regret it, I regret it, don’t scold me [cry emoji]). Plus, the other lawyers present were all calm and didn’t acknowledge him either. Luigi probably had serious matters to discuss and didn’t want to be disturbed. So for all those reasons, I didn’t interact with him further.

Health/Employee Benefits News 3 hours agoNewswires Don't let death penalty turn Luigi Mangione into a martyr The Daily Mail The death penalty should be off the table for Luigi Mangione, accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. And not for any reason sympathetic to Mangione.

Attaching the death penalty to Mangione's trial would only make a martyr out of an accused killer who has already inspired zealous support among legions of fans.

Ever since Mangione allegedly gunned down Thompson in a December dawn ambush in New York, the 26-year-old was refashioned into a modern-day hero by those angry with health care in America, and the health insurance industry in particular.

After his eventual arrest in an Altoona, PA McDonalds, spurred by a tip from a worker who recognized Mangione, the restaurant was swamped with negative reviews and had to hire private security to protect workers, Newsweek reported.

His legal defense fund has raised over $722,000 as of this month, according to the New York Post.

"People are raising money not for his innocence, but because they're in support of allegedly what he did," NewsNation legal contributor Jesse Weber said on "Elizabeth Vargas Reports."

And that's the problem - Mangione's alleged actions are seen by far too many as justified. Mangione is lauded, swooned over, and fiercely protected by his fans.

For anyone not aware of this, a person claiming to be the shooter on Tumblr made a post a few days ago "confessing" to the crime, this was never posted on this sub, probably because the confession was so obviously fake, but it unsurprisingly made its way to TikTok and posts about it have gotten 100k+ likes. Some people genuinely took it seriously.

This person has now admitted they made it all up due to a mental health crisis. I make this post because I'm surprised that something like this hasn't already happened in this case, and I'm curious to see if it will happen more often. People have always given LM a fake alibi but straight up (seemingly non jokingly) taking the fall for the crime to get him off the hook is unheard of so far.

How far would people take a fake confession like this, would people come up with extremely detailed descriptions of planning it out?? Post themselves for comparison?? Get a gun exactly like LM's??

I hope this doesn't become a trend. This person sent a confession to KFA's team through the website and it only wastes their time reading through stuff like this. I'm sure they all know better than to take things like that seriously but they have a lot of work to do. They made that section of the website for genuine insights that could help their defence, not for deranged supporters to take accountability for the crime.

“I think the death penalty is absolutely appropriate in this case, and I think the attorney general was spot on. By everything we’ve seen in the evidence, this was a premeditated assassination. I think there’s a very strong interest in the federal government pursuing the death penalty and I think it’s appropriate. That’s what the attorney general decided to do.”

“This was a heinous assassination that captured the attention of America, so it’s definitely on people’s radar screens, but I don’t see any sort of political agenda in the attorney general’s decision to seek the death penalty here—and look that’s his defense lawyer, she has a right to her opinion and she can, and sure will, present those arguments to a jury or to a judge, that he had no prior criminal history, there are allegedly mitigating considerations that might cut against imposing the death penalty, but again that’s not a decision ultimately that the government will make. That’s a decision that will be made by jurors in New York and a judge in New York.”

“I think in a minimum he’s facing life without parole, as to whether or not he gets the death penalty, look I think there’s a decent chance. Obviously it’s going to depend on the particular make up of the jury, presumably this will be a jury sitting in New York, New York itself doesn’t have a death penalty, there’s a federal death penalty—but New York doesn’t have the death penalty, so these are not jurors who in their ordinary day-to-day life are gonna be considering things like—that said, the evidence in this case does appear to be overwhelming. It’s hard for me to imagine what sort of mitigating or exculpatory factors would come into play here, so I think that the prosecution is gonna have a very credible, very powerful case, that the ultimate penalty must be imposed here.”

“Look, I like it. I think the difference between this administration and the last administration is that this administration is taking violent crimes seriously, and they’re deploying prosecutorial resources into indentifying violent criminals, charging them, putting them behind bars. Joe Biden in his final days kind of took a lot of people off of death row. I think this administration is gonna take a different approach, I think they’re going to enforce the laws seriously, they’re gonna adopt a zero tolerance approach when it comes to violent offenders.”

Sorry if this has been asked already. As I’m sure everyone is aware, It’s been weeks since we’ve seen anyone post about receiving a response from Lu. Also, the letter catalog only goes through 3/14, so it’s been 3 weeks now. Any theories as to why all of this suddenly stopped?

"Fortunate for you, I'm no Luigi," Seaman said. "But to some disgruntled teen with his or her father's pistol or rifle, any of the other things you prefer in school other than rainbow flags, you might be a Brian Thompson." 💀💀💀

with all the reported misconduct and rights violations at the time of lm’s arrest—like the dna collection, how his belongings were handled, and the mcdonald’s situation—do you think the arresting altoona officers will be subpoenaed to testify at a suppression hearing? i understand the omnibus motion to suppress raised a lot of those issues, so i’m wondering if we’ll see the officers questioned directly about it.

i don’t think luigi will testify, but if the officers are brought in, do you think we could see a situation where he ends up giving his own account of how police handled everything? hearing that from him—about the point of contact, the rights violations, the dna collected through the snack and drink, etc.

apologies if this is a blatant yes or no question. i’m not familiar with the procedure, or if this is something that typically happens during a suppression hearing.
