Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I think they found the pictures of Luigi in the hostel, decided “That’s our guy” despite no link between hostel guy and the shooter, tracked him down because they had his face and evidence of where he was going, and planted the evidence when they found him. That “manifesto” was written by one of the cops on their drive to Altoona.
The pictures of man in the hostel are very clearly a different fucking guy than the guy in the taxi who is also clearly a different guy from the shooter. They’re wearing different clothes and don’t even look that much alike.
It’d be hard enough to find a jury willing to convict him if he looked into the camera and said “My name is Luigi Mangione and I am about to murder Brian Thompson for what he did to my mother,” it’ll be even harder to find a jury willing to convict him for a video of a video game character creation screen’s default white man shooting someone.
All any of that means is they brought a backpack full of all that stuff. None of that is difficult except the eyebrows which imo don’t line up with the video of the guy who actually did the shooting. Who is, again, wearing different clothes than Luigi is in the hostel.
“ChatGPT, write me a manifesto of a 26 year old man who killed a healthcare CEO who read these books”
I’m wondering how long it’ll be before we find out someone was framed because the ChatGPT log of the cop creating the evidence comes out
It's already happened I'm sure, but it won't be revealed until the person has been sitting on death row for decades.
