"'He’s hot as shit, you must acquit' demanded one woman online, while others wrote: 'Free Luigi!'..."

"Among the viral posts on Twitter is a photograph of a woman privately messaging Mangione after his arrest, which has been viewed more than 3.2 million times. 'Baby, I know you don’t know me, but I will be praying for your entire exoneration and freedom from this point forward. In exchange, I’m begging you to start an Only Fans account,' she wrote. 'Fan cams' worshipping the 'Gen Z assassin' have also appeared on TikTok, with users uploading musical montages featuring images of him shirtless and smiling.... The reaction to the murder has forced American authorities to remind the public that 'this killer was not a hero'.... Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania... said... 'In America, we do not kill people in cold blood to resolve policy differences or express a viewpoint....'"

Tell that to Lon Horiuchi and Janet Reno, Governor.

Another example - as if we needed any more - about how deranged, unhinged and amoral today's Left is.

gilbar said...

having been reading here, for over 7 years; i've realized that lefties in general, and leftie women in particular are not Just Mentally Ill..
But certifiably INSANE.

so, that fact that they want Penny in jail,and Luigi in their beds does not surprise me in the least.
Leftie women are INSANE.. Once you realize that, it all makes sense.

Didn't Trump say he could shoot somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue?

Rocco said...

Meh. He may be “Hot as shit” as most human males go. But as an Italian, he’s only mid.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

You know you read stories and see charts saying mental illness is on the rise but then a story like this comes along and proves it.

Laughing Fox said...

Yes, Trump made a joke about STILL BEING RESPECTED even if he shot someone on Fifth Avenue. He didn't make a joke about how funny it would be to shoot someone on Fifth Avenue. (To understand Trump's jokes, make sure you see the context.)

Trump's speech is violence; Mangione's violence is speech.

Looks like I'm not the only conspiracy theorist:
@LawyerLeeW

"I have been a lawyer for 30 years. There is a lot more to the Luigi Mangione story than we are being told so far.

I am highly concerned about his claim that evidence was planted on him.

Will be looking into this and continuing to report on the case impartially as all suspects are innocent until proven guilty.

Patrick Henry was right! said...

The Internet is not obsessed with this loser. Leftists seem to be, but it's a poorly constructed psyop to move the Overton Window toward acceptance of the assassination of those who oppose the radical left. The radical left is evil in both it's nature and it's actions. They are neither normal nor sane.

Lilly, a dog said...

Imagine the fights that will break out in the line for Luigi's conjugal visits.

J2 said...

He may end up on the cover of Rolling Stone like the Boston Marathon Bomber.

JK Brown said...

It just occurred to me that political campaigns are just Only Fans for politicians. They set them up garner contributions from fans by debasing themselves in public. Now we see the governor of PA trying to satisfy his fan base by going after the growing fan base of the killer. And you can see the worry in the political sphere is the people aren't properly aghast at the street killing of a wealthy contributor to politicians and treat it just like the street killings of normal people. Worse still some see delight that the wealthy are getting what the contributed for, good and hard.

JK Brown said...

The family still has the millions garnered by the dad's deny everything and grind them with the bureaucracy manner of doing business.

It is a loss to the family but nothing to the wider population except a chance a better CEO will take over. The killer must be tried and convicted if possible, but the death was just another street crime death in a Democrat-controlled urban corpse.

"In America, we do not kill people in cold blood to resolve policy differences or express a viewpoint...."

Some do, while others cheer from the sidelines. The veneer of civilization is pretty thin in some quarters of America.

RideSpaceMountain said...

With every passing year I am further convinced - as you hear so often - that the 19th Amendment may have been a mistake. This country creates more Justa Grata Honorias every year, and unlike Esau who sold his birthright for a mess of pottage, many would just as easily justify murder for a 6-pack, despite the owner having a fused spine.

Freeman Hunt said...

Yes, I'm sure the mentally disturbed murderer would make a great boyfriend.

Breezy said...

He was a dark man of mystery, until he wasn't. To be generous, lots of people simply haven't caught up. When you hear him speak, it's off-putting and very sad indeed.

Blair said...

Thinking a criminal is hawt isn't necessarily condoning their actions. Gudrun Ensseln, the mastermind of the Baader-Meinhof terror group, was a dreadful, vile woman, who deservedly got executed by the CIA in Stamheim prison, but in terms of her looks, she was drop dead gorgeous. Would.

I guess Rolling Stone has its new cover boy.

Dixcus said...

My ObamaCare premium is $1400 a month. It has a $12,000 annual deductible (meaning I have to pay the first $12,000 of any care). Then, once it kicks in, it pays only 80% of my hospital bills.

I am forced to purchase this by law.

We can celebrate when the guy making $50 million dollars to deny claims is shot dead in the street. We absolutely CAN celebrate that and I will celebrate it until ObamaCare is repealed and a sane health care environment in this country is created.

tommyesq said...

This is the kind of stupid shit that makes me think Rhhardin may have a point.

Bubba, Big Ernie, and Leon aren't going to give a shit about his fused spine when they tell him to "grab his ankles".

RideSpaceMountain said...

Wait'll you find out how many love letters serial killers get, you'll shit bricks. Anders Breivik in Norway got so much they had to make special provisions within penal law to limit his correspondence.

Can't agree that she was gorgeous - kind of a trannie look to her - but even if she were, I would crap on anyone who posted loving/lusting thoughts immediately upon her arrest.

Skeptical Voter said...

Some young women (and I also assume that Luigi plays well with some young non binary type males) bring new depths to the definition of mindless twits.

Where in the story does it identify anyone (except for Gov. Shapiro) as a lefty?

Dixcus said...

MarkW said...

There could be a pack of playing cards -- this guy, the dreamy Boston marathon bomber, Che Guevara, Fidel, Ted Bundy, Bin Laden, Charlie Manson, Clyde Barrow, John Dillinger. It would be sort of like the nudie card deck that guys used to play poker with at deer camp -- but the sexy killer deck would be just for the girls.

Valentine Smith said...

When I was 18 years old, my brother was murdered. He served with the army special forces in Vietnam, and when he returned, he did a slight tour of the states, visiting friends and colleagues as it were. My mother asked that he come home and he did. She had never forgiven herself up until her death.
No outsider can begin to comprehend the suffering involved with family members. No one. It’s why murder is the most heinous of all crimes. The word empathy means to suffer with. That there is totally impossible for one who has never experienced murder. Those that cheer already inhabit a twisted world of hate resentment and self delusion. They pay every day of their lives and have no idea that it’s happening.

Candide said...

Movie “The Paperboy” shows romance between a twisted woman (Nicole Kidman) and a convicted murderer (John Cussack), and consequences thereof. Absolutely disgusting story, apparently based on real events.

Dr Weevil said...

Spider Sabich! That brings back memories. The low point of my life (so far!) was 40+ years ago, when I worked for a week moving pianos for minimum wage ($2.65 an hour). There was a foot of snow on the ground that week, too. Thank God I heard about a better job from a college classmate after a week.

Anyway, the piano store I worked for once sent three of us to deliver an upright piano to a basement via a long and narrow set of stairs. (Old iron-framed uprights really demand four, one for each corner.) The crew chief abandoned the other two of us half-way down the stairs because he 'got something in his eye', and took his sweet time in the bathroom washing it out while we hung on to the piano and the railing.

What does this have to do with Spider Sabich? The crew chief bragged more than once about the high point of his life, which was being arrested for dealing cocaine in Vail, Colorado, along with Spider Sabich's son. A second-hand connection with a celebrity! A celebrity whose main claim to fame was getting murdered, which is not exactly an accomplishment! Ever since, I've thought that that brag was the epitome of pathetic loserdom, unlikely ever to be topped or even equaled.

D.D. Driver said...

I view the celebrations the same way I view the Westboro Baptist funeral protests. It's protected speech, but the most vile, heinous of all protected speech.

Josephbleau said...

This may be some Byzantine plot and the guy is completely innocent, but that is not the way to bet,

Did they substitute his image and fingerprints from where he was to the crime scene and NYC cameras?

What was he doing sitting in PA with a gun, $8k in cash, and a manifesto about health insurance?

Did he actually have unsuccessful back surgery, and post the xrays on the web, that may mean he has a grudge against the health care system?

It may be the strangest coincidence or a diabolical plot but i doubt it. The evidence is preliminary and may turn out to be all fake, if he is murdered in jail that may change things in my mind.


Readering said...

Of course this killing horrible and unjustifiable, but Shapiro does not make his point as effectively as he could by calling it a policy difference. Is that what it was? In the minds of those with their lionizing of the assumed killer?

Ralph L said...

Blame your Blue Hell state government, Dixcus, the federal mandate ended in 2018.
"As of 2024, there are financial penalties for being uninsured in Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, Rhode Island, and the District of Columbia."
The real ripoff is what medical providers charge to the uninsured. And then they wonder why people don't pay the bills.

The Vault Dweller said...

Reporting on random people on the internet finding a murderer attractive doesn't seem newsworthy to me. The internet is full of people's unfiltered stream of consciousness. What I found interesting and worrying was listening to NPR today and hearing them mention the killing of Health Insurance CEO as a sign of widespread discontent with the Health Insurance Industry, and then talk about what they viewed as wrong with it.

Big Mike said...

It seems to me that Governor Sharpiro and Senator Fetterman realize that it’s not a big step from celebrating the assassination of Brian Thompson and the attempted assassination of Donald Trump to celebrating the assassination of Democrat politicians. Must be something in the Pennsylvania ground water.

tommyesq said...

How is that speech protected, but Alex Jones' comments re Sandy Hook were not?

Jaq said...

I am not sure it's a right-left thing. I used to listen to Howie Carr when I used to commute, and he would look at mug shots and pronounce the suspect "guilty" or "not guilty" simply based on their looks. It was funny.

Ralph L said...

Insurance companies shouldn't be trying to keep costs and premiums down, or making a profit, or paying their executives market salaries. Those are the stupid ideas of the lionizers.

Quaestor said...

tcrossw writes, "Is this guy the Richard Jewell of the day?"

Not likely. Mangione fits the LARPing political assassin gone IRL profile to a tee, right down to the manifesto. A professional assassin of the sort Hollywood and gamerland insist exists, taking out crime lords and terrorist chieftains daily, making the world safe for pet lovers, would never commit anything in writing. Mangione is Tavis Bickle with an Ivy League education.

Richard Jewell was quite different. His persecutors were journalists and corrupt Justice Department bureaucrats looking for a scalp to hang on the lodgepole. Poor underachiever plants a bomb so that he can discover it and get praised for the first time in his miserable life, the profile they manufactured for their own glory. Evidently, Janet Reno's 1993 Branch Davidian thrill had worn off by 1996.

Quaestor said...

What's the correlation between Mangione-inspired vaginal wetness and Kamala Harris for Prez passion? 100 percent?

All the hybristophiliacs might get the sads since his back surgery made sex a problem for him.

They're the perfect boyfriend; dreamy but in prison for the rest of their lives so the women don't have to worry about having to put out.

Vance said...

Powerlineblog has the results of a UPenn student survey where over 66% of the students there agree with Luigi's killing of the CEO.

66%!

Since UPenn is Ivy, though... that might be lower than expected? Wouldn't most of us predict something like 80% of that far left student body?

I wonder if Althouse's old law school would be similiar?

Paul said...

So now they have his fingerprints at the scene.. and the ballistics of the gun on him match the murder weapon... but nah... he is just so hot looking...

May he rot in prison for life and be some lifer's boy toy...

Paul said...

And Bubba, Big Ernie, and Leon will expect him to fun their commissary needs. Like TVs, fans, drinks, etc.. for the whole jail block.

walter said...

Murderer for added value.

Dixcus said...

Begonia has a really good point. This is journalism now: Reporters sitting around literally in their homes, scrolling through the internet and copying and pasting stuff to piece it into a "news" story. Stealing content from Reddit, GoFundMe, X, BluePedo (or whatever they're calling that new one), Tik-Tok.

That's all they're doing. Just copy whatever's out there, make it into "news" and who cares if it's real because 90% of it is now being manufactured by AI bots and spewed out at a rate so fast nobody can check to see if it's correct.

But yeah, they're all Democrats, that's for sure.

walter said...

I await commentary from Ben Wikler.

Rosalyn C. said...

The vast majority of murders are committed by men, so maybe it's men who don't have the best judgement.
If more hot women committed murder maybe they'd have the same kind of popularity?

BarrySanders20 said...

According to Deloitte, "Health care spending is extremely concentrated at the top in the privately insured population with the top 1 percent consuming 30-33 percent" of medical spending. For 2024, UHC has paid out 85.9% of its collected premiums to medical providers.(called the Medical Loss Ratio or MLR). Administrative costs are about 10%. That leaves 4% for profit. Are health insurance execs allowed to live if the company pays out 87%? 88%? Guess what happens to premiums the next year if every provider's desire is met and there is no focus on who what, when, how many, and for how long? Every medical payment system everywhere deals with these issues, and all ration in some way. What I want, when I want, in as much as I want, at no cost to me exists only in leftist fantasyland.

BarrySanders20 said...

Dix, I saw your comment on a different thread. There are ways to structure assets to become eligible for Medicaid and leave private insurance. It does involve disclaiming assets, so you have to have people you can trust, but it can be done.

wildswan said...

He dropped out of sight, re-appeared with cash and a manifesto. Traveled thousands of miles to an enormous city he didn't know to shoot an exec who had no security and who was attending an obscure conference early in the morning. Probably this killer with his good looks and good luck is a crazed loner. It's merely by accident that he is so appealing to lefty women at a moment when they need a distraction from election-onset TDS. His story, too, is just perfect - so many have back pain. Handsome and rich and yet suffering with a brokeback and looking for justice on behalf of us all - Peak o' Perfection? Oh my, yes. Congratulations, someone.

BarrySanders20 said...

Ironically, the monobrow greaser is impotent if his Hawaiian friend is to be believed. Apparently his back injury and subsequent surgery left his back fucked, but nobody else will be by him. Poor longing ladies will have to settle for other inmates.

BarrySanders20 said...

Guido left fingerprints on the water bottle and probably elsewhere. And the dumb wop kept the gun. Is he the only Italian to have never watched The Godfather? Vito broke the gun and dropped it down the flues of several different tenements when he whacked Fannucci. Michael was told to drop the gun when he whacked Sollozzo and McClusky in the restaurant, and he did. And Clemenza gives very explicit instructions to leave the gun, and take the canoli. Plus he's not acting like they got the wrong guy. He's all righteous anger now.

Saint Croix said...

Antifa fucktard pretends to be a Trump voter while he tries to incite murder and rape, every day it seems like. Go away.

Curious George said...

MM it's a circle. Or nearly so.

wildswan said...

It was smart of the killer to keep all the evidence against him - the ID and the gun and the clothes - close by in a handy backpack for five days. Well, see, this guy was a high school valedictorian and a college graduate in computer use. So, he ... wouldn't think ... of dropping the evidence of murder in a river. Giving the clothes to Goodwill. Burning the ID's.

I'm sick of him already and his smarmy talk about whatever he's going to talk about. Shove it.

Saint Croix said...

She's 82, dude.

Joe Bar said...

C'mon now. Male prison rape isn't funny.

It's hilarious.

RNB said...

As if dating apps hadn't already taught us that young women care about nothing except looks. (Though height and money are definite plus factors.)

Saint Croix said...

There are no hot killers who are 82.

Big Mike said...

And right on cue comes Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, arguably the stupidest woman in the Senate.

“Violence is never the answer,” Warren said. “But,” she continued, “people can only be pushed so far.” The killing represented “a warning,” Warren suggested,
“… that if you push people hard enough they lose faith in the ability of their government to make change, lose faith in the ability of the people who are providing the health care to make change, and start to take matters into their own hands in ways that will ultimately be a threat to everyone.”

Joe Bar said...

Really? That chick had a nose that could steer the Titanic.

Saint Croix said...

I think Katherine Hepburn once tried to play an assassin who was 82? That was horrible.

typingtalker said...

The man was sick.

But Luigi Mangione’s transformation from promising student to accused murderer didn’t happen overnight. A look at his activities over the past few years shows that threads of his life—his work, his health, his ties to his family and his trust in the world at large—had been fraying in parallel.

Luigi Mangione’s Dark Descent From Promising Student to Murder Suspect

Joe Bar said...

It fits. Mangione is a product of elite education, and Thompson has rural, agrarian roots.

Joe Bar said...

The real culprit here is The Affordable Care Act.

Big Mike said...

So tell me Liz, aren’t you glad that we Normies decided to express the degree to which we’ve been pushed too far by folks like you and Harris and your whole stinking party at the ballot box last month instead of walking up behind you with a face mask and a ghost gun?

The Godfather said...

I'm old and have had lots of medical treatments and I seem to be pretty well covered. I'm not angry at anyone. But if I were angry it would be at "providers" who don't "provide". Medical care financing has been highly regulated by the Feds for as long as I can remember. So if the objective is to arouse the "victims" to rise up against "the System", we need a lot more propaganda against the Govt that created the "system". And a lot less murder.

RideSpaceMountain said...

So are the overwhelming majority of the benefits of civilization, so I guess we're even.

Geoff Matthews said...

This happened with the Boston Marathon bomber too.

Yancey Ward said...

LOL!!!

Yancey Ward said...

It is a mistake to generalize from a handful of nutty women who find Mangione dreamy. Charles Manson probably had dozens of devoted letter-writers who thought they loved him (and maybe not all of them were actual women either).

It will be a test of the criminal justice system, however, if Mangione does try for a defense based on jury nullification. I would hope that such a ploy won't work to give him a hung jury but you never know.

Dixcus said...

I have resigned myself to knowing that I have either two choices:

1) I can impoverish myself, while enriching some millionaire, and literally spend my grandchildren's inheritance to get a 70% chance of maybe living for at most 5 more years. Which seems selfish and stupid. OR

2) I can die a natural death (just like billions of humans before they invented hospitals) and leave my grandchildren an inheritance that maybe would result in my progeny having some chance of surviving into the future better than I had it.

Which one?

But thanks, Barry. Means a lot.
