He’s not old enough to qualify any time soon.

My husband regularly continues accelerating toward the vehicle in front of us while said vehicle is braking. He also tailgates. It’s terrifying and I rarely let him be the one to drive.

No, and that’s not how assessing flight risk works. I’m not saying that he necessarily isn’t a flight risk. He did have his passport on him. It just sounds like there is the possibility that law enforcement added extra “evidence” so that they could be sure he wouldn’t be let out on bail.

It’s really helpful to do that before being arrested.

It’s not that weird if you think about it. They could be trying to portray him as a flight risk since he also had his passport.

You don’t know that. His grandfather was wealthy. He’s one of, IIRC, 37 grandchildren. That doesn’t mean he is wealthy. Yes, much more privileged than most of us, but that doesn’t mean he was rolling in cash. Even if he was, so what? He was still fighting against an unjust system.

And he disputed in court that that cash was his–notably, while not disputing that the gun was his. I’ll trust an average person over a cop trying to get a big win any day. They plant plenty of false evidence.

I was working in tech when I became disabled. I wasn’t rich and I would have become homeless if I didn’t have a partner’s income to fall back on.

Tech isn’t some magical gold mine.

I hope not. Fuck 'em. They should become a pariah.

No, it’s got like velcro on the shoulders or something from the look of it. I guess the idea is you can’t strangle yourself with it? I don’t know.

Just because his grandfather was wealthy doesn’t mean that he is. Not destitute like so many, sure, but that’s not the same as being the 1%. I think I read that Luigi is one of like 37 grandchildren. That’s spreading things pretty thin.

I used to work in a school at a correctional facility for incarcerated teenagers and almost all of them were homeschooled. Many of them could barely read, fewer than 10% could write a coherent statement, and almost none of them had even basic math skills.

A customer informed an employee who then called police. Two class traitors.

I was shocked that he showed his face to the media (BBC article from earlier today). Bold.

I was commenting more on the name “hug of death”. That didn’t start on Reddit.

I hope that this is a point Americans take away from this. It’s disgusting the amount of resources that went into finding this one person who was clearly not a threat to the general public.

They are both the same: a jury voting “not guilty”. There is no such thing as an “innocent” verdict.

Any intelligent person might be shaking when they know they’re about to be booked into the US prison system.

The 26-year-old suspect, identified by police as Luigi Nicholas Mangione, began shaking when police asked if he had been in New York recently, court records said.

☹️ Poor guy.

That will be in New York after they get their case in order.

The Fark hug of death came before the Reddit hug of death.
