Excerpt:

Prosecutors highlighted “about $10,000 — $8,000 in U.S. dollars and then $2,000 in foreign currency that was found on his person,” CNN correspondent Danny Freeman said following the court hearing.

“Also they said that he had a Faraday bag,” which blocks cell signals, a move that prosecutors alleged marked “an indication of criminal sophistication and reason they should hold him on bail,” Freeman continued.

After prosecutors made the claims, Mangione said he would like to “correct two things.”

“I don’t know where any of that money came from — I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication,” the suspect said in a statement that suggested police framed him.

    the way they portray him and the tone of the whole thing is just so fucking slimy

    “Do you realize how much money the wealthy are losing right now?”

    “OMG how could a person born into wealth that is clearly incredibly intelligent, ever think about doing something like this? There are better ways to slowly let millions of people die over denied coverage and ignore it. How could he.”

        Of this is true… Damn. Two thoughts come to mind when reading this.

        1. Rockstar Games has done so little with GTA for such a long time it is no longer the default ‘turn kids into criminals’-simulator.
        2. I am fucking old.

          All those kids that started playing GTA too young are now grown and taking it out on society because they don’t have a new GTA to work through their urges in.

        A game with “500+ M downloads” on google play, plus like a dozen other platforms it’s on.

        If 0.001% of among us players became CEO assassins, I don’t think we’d have any CEOs left.

      They can’t have us realize its that easy to take our country back from the corporations that own it or their entire power structure and caste society comes crashing down.
