Luigi Mangione's fellow inmates are giving the inside scoop about conditions in the prison where he's staying -- screaming out about his treatment from behind the prison walls.

    He should be fast tracked politically to run for future President of the USA after a pardon of state and federal charges. We already have a felon fraudulent rapist POTUS, why not a murderer.

      Pretty sure we’ve had presidents who killed people before, like wasn’t murdering Indians Andrew Jackson’s whole campaign platform?

        Yeah pretty much. The Trail of Tears or more aptly put as the Cherokee genocide is without a doubt one of the greatest stains in US history.

    The other inmates calling for them to free him is fucking great. Them doing an interview with the inmates yelling out the window is fantastic.

    “Through flashing lights and shouts, they communicated the prison conditions of their fellow inmate”

    The criminals inside the jail working together for justice. The state is really dropping the mask off.

      Inmates, current and former, have been trying to tell us about prison conditions for a long time. It just gets brushed off as “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time” by the same people who setup our health insurance system and keep the stock market line going up at the expense of the food on your table. Not to mention the mountain of evidence about police being able to put any normal person in prison for crimes such as, “walking in a car town, walking while black, breathing while homeless, and refusing a search of your car” I mean there’s just so many ways to say Resisting Arrest.

      But yeah, we probably should listen to them, they might have a few points.

        I think only few countries on entire planet whose prison systems are made to prevent crimes by solving people’s problems instead of keeping them criminals by worsening them.

          Yeah that’s the unfortunate truth. And in the US it’s definitely a system that looks for people to victimize, there are financial and political incentives to doing so. We’re not going to solve it in the short term but the first step has got to be a wide realization that something is wrong there.

      Just because someone is in jail or prison doesn’t make them a criminal, especially in the US. Dont make assumptions. They’re all prisoners and inmates.

      Maybe we can put the state on trial. They always want to talk about how much of a pro or an amateur he is. It’s a strange obsession. The only amateurs I see are “experts”, cops, media. Of course I don’t want them to be better. They can just fock off.

    They’re intentionally torturing him hoping he goes crazy, thats why they leaked/released a picture of him after he peed his pants, most likely from being tazed or denied access to a toilet.

    They want to portray him as a crazy loner like the Unibomber.

    It’d be icing on the cake if he can bring terrible prison conditions to the spotlight as well.

      A series of events which lead to the total reform of the US, like a real Life political Forrest Gump.

      I would watch that movie if the tonality is similar.

      As we all know, convicts are famously known for being supportive of corporate executives and the healthcare industry.

      My dad was watching Fox last night and Laura Ingrams whole WEALTHY&RADICALIZED Segment was the most retarded thing I’ve ever sat through. Now I’m a red leaning voter but to me fox is as Mainstream media as the rest so I don’t buy any of their shtick.

      I was dying with her unmoving botoxed face talk about how “Mangioni is a rich elite who was brainwashed by Ivy League schools” then bring on a Republican from a different Ivy league school and praise him for shaming Luigi.

      At some moments I swear you could see gears and cogs turning in her head to come up with a cohesive sentence.

    What’s the opposite of getting shanked because the other inmates find out you’re in for csam?

    Free Luigi! He didn’t to it, but if he did I would still vote for him on the next presidential election because that’s where we are now. One more presidential requirement…must be a criminal.

      If you’re serious, there are a few different organizations that can handle the money transfer for you. Here are the instructions for MoneyGram. You’ll need to wait for him to get into the prison databases to get his id number.

      Nah, he doesn’t have info that’ll expose/hurt anyone else and if they kill him he’ll be a martyr and even more of an icon than he already is, “they” absolutely don’t want that.

        I think making him look insane serves their purposes better, and letting him live only presents an opportunity for him to speak and maybe say something people could rally behind. That seems more threatening than making yet another martyr that’ll just get thrown on the pile with all the others.
