The next court date has been set for February 21.

As much as I’d like to believe it’s a conspiracy, news organizations make money from clicks. There isn’t much for them to monetize between now and February 21, so they’re focusing on more immediate stuff.
If they can get good photos and text from the next court date, Luigi will get more coverage.
Edit: there have been like five plane crashes, one US inauguration, and major US wildfires since his last court date.
Yeah. I agree. I know the news media has agendas to push, but stretching like this is counterproductive to starting or encouraging a movement.
They can’t demonize Luigi, so they’re trying to erase him. The media is seeing the limitations of their power against popular anger. They have to be terrified.
Meanwhile, the guy who actually shot the CEO is probably living off the grid in a cabin somewhere.

I still haven’t seen anything that links Luigi to the footage of the shooting. I don’t know how anyone looks at that footage and is like “Yup. That’s the same guy”.
If the eyebrows are thicc, you must acquit.
But Luigi had a burner gun and a manifesto on his person a whole week after the crime! Of course he did it. Why would anyone discard their burner or do literally anything with their manifesto after a statement like that? Lmao
🧤
What would the news headline be?
Luigi Still In Custody While Waiting For Hearing
or
Mangione’s Attorneys Presumably Working Hard
or
Brian Thompson Still Dead
News doesn’t tend to report when things are the same as they were yesterday. If his lawyers aren’t talking to the press, and the prosecutors aren’t talking to the press, and the trial won’t start for another month, what exactly are the reporters going to report on?
I would love to see the headlines if this was the norm.
President Carter Still Dead, We Confirmed
Obama Not President, Maybe Enjoying Retirement?
Epstein’s Suicide Not Being Investigated
Actually any headline of something not happening sounds super suspicious lol
As long as actual reporting went on afterwards it would be an upgrade
1+1=2
S(1)=2
I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there’s nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there’s no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be.
We know things are bad – worse than bad. They’re crazy. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: ‘Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone.’
Well, I’m not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! I don’t want you to protest. I don’t want you to riot – I don’t want you to write to your congressman, because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write. I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you’ve got to get mad. You’ve got to say: ‘I’m a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!’
So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’
I want you to get up right now. Sit up. Go to your windows. Open them and stick your head out and yell – ‘I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ Things have got to change. But first, you’ve gotta get mad!…You’ve got to say, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first, get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!

> Says everyone is unemployed or on the verge of it
Ok buddy
You should label your images if they are AI generated.
Label it how?
The body of the post.
Honestly, why do you care?
You should label your comment if they are made by a bot.
I think they did.
What? I was just poking fun at the OP by implying he’s a bot.
By not do you mean bot because if not then I don’t know what
My head hurts
I didn’t even notice until your comment. That’s such a weird image to have an AI make; how hard is it to google ‘billboard in a city or whatever’ and run with the first result?

The world needs more Luigis
What the world needs more of is Bernie Sanders, not convicts.

Por que no Los dos?
Ah you mean the guy who sold out to Hillary. Yea we definitely need more sellouts with beach houses.
Free Luigi!
And Wario!
Stupid autocorrect changed it to Mario…
I mean also people get bored and this was never going to spark some kind of revolution like people here imagined. It’s just the media moving in the newest thing like they always do.
This is kind of a disingenuous take. What do you expect the news to do? Every morning 1 hour of “We are still pre-trial, no new evidence…” What piece of news persists for months and months after it happens, especially something as “self contained” as a murder.
- Luigi mangione is gone from the Internet

My brother in christ your instance is part of the reason for that.
