A defense attorney for Luigi Mangione, the man charged with killing the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, insists a police search and arrest late last year were illegal.

Summary

The Pennsylvania attorney representing Luigi Mangione, charged with murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City, contends Mangione’s arrest in Altoona was unconstitutional.

Officers supposedly approached him without cause and failed to read his Miranda rights at a McDonald’s after a five-day manhunt.

Mangione has pleaded not guilty to murder and related state and federal charges, including potential death penalty eligibility.

Mangione’s New York lawyer likewise cites constitutional violations during arrest, raising the possibility that key evidence could be suppressed.

      Quick question…

      Hot sauce? Ranch dressing? Or just salt and pepper?

      How do you luck those boots so well?

        Well thats the thing, I oppose the boots in ways that actually matter and have actual impact. Meanwhile, I’ve seen a lot of you Murder Cultists unironically agree with fucking Tankies. Seems like the boots and the bootlickers are on your side, pal.

          You support insurance companies because they’re to your right.

            I never supported any insurance company. Insurance companies and I might both oppose the Luigi Mangione cult, but if I had my way insurance companies wouldn’t even exist because we would have voted in 60 senators and gotten socialized healthcare.

            In fact, I think promoting discord and anarchy actually helps the insurance companies stay in power. It decreases unity on the left.

              Uh huh. Elsewhere you’re posting stonetoss comics in support of them.

                I’ve posted memes but they don’t support health insurance CEOs.

                Look here

                The meme pokes fun at the absurdness of luigi fans being promoted by Tankies while people advocating real reform end up being on the opposite side of the controversy where coincidentally healthcare CEOs are (because they don’t like to be murdered). It doesn’t equate people on either side with the people next to them. That would be stupid. The fact that I have to explain this to you is stupid.

                  people advocating real reform

                  Until they get in office and find the no votes so you can make excuses. You’re pulling on the side of the rope you agree with. The side that exploits the dying for money.

                    You don’t need to make a new party for this issue. Universal Healthcare is literally a Core DNC stance. The moment they had supermajority with caucusing IND in 2010 (for only 72 days) they took it to vote and one of the IND betrayed us leaving it at 59 and filibustered by Republicans, causing us to instead get the Medicaid Expansion and CHIP renewals that currently cover 79 Million Americans. Every single Republican voted no. This is a partisan issue.

                    Luigi’s defence raised hundreds of thousands of dollars when he was already rich enough to pay his own lawyers, all of that money could have been spent campaigning, or even just funding people’s healthcare directly. People who support Luigi are actively avoiding any solution to the problem that sparked Luigi’s actions.

                    You can agree with people on some issues and disagree on others.

        Gonna be honest, I’m not sure I agree with the mods removing his comment in this thread. If he wants to farm downvotes, that’s his prerogative, but I don’t think the mods should be removing comments just because it’s a particularly hot take. That’s an overreach that manipulates the narrative, in my opinion.

          It’s not a genuine thought when it’s just trolling. Their history makes it very clear that they are. I’m not even sure what their reply to me is supposed to mean or if they meant to reply to someone else.

            I’m not so sure they’re trolling. I think they just have an opinion that is very unpopular here, but their history at least shows consistency in that opinion.
