Do not expect the deer to weep when they are told a hunter has died

[Usernotfound]

Don’t be callous to the families affected… by homicide via denied claim

[montanitaplease]

God bless Luigi Mangione, the people are with you 🇺🇸 Let the truth be told and let him not be silenced in prison as was the case with Jeffrey Epstein

[diphsehdoodahl]

So, his classmates didn't recognize any physical similarities, but some random McDonalds employee recognized him...from pics with a hoodie and a mask on??

[Kodycares]

Lets not forget the hundreds of people's life's the CEO ended with his greed, it's still not an eye for an eye.

[joeo]

He is well known in his community, yet nobody recognized his picture? ...But a McDonalds employee was sure enough that it was him to call 911? Something doesn't seem right.

Insurance companies only care about them and the money 💰; they don't care about the patients 😢.

I pray for a hang jury verdict on this case. And i thinks God will accept our players on behalf of the millions of my fellow citizens of the United States who have been denied health-care, ripped off and scammed by those crooked CEOs that run those corporations.

😮 A kid from the Elite class, who turns on one of his own, because he’s outraged over the corporate corruption he see at his country club, I guess his parents didn’t teach him to look the other way.

[raptureready]

That CEO ruined Luigi's life and his mother's life.
Where's the fair and balanced news?

[moemuggy]

Just know, they're never going to search for your killer this intently.

[BostoncowboyLB--wt]

let's just say Dude will have thousands of females fans writing to him in prison...

[SeanPan-itjm]

All health insurance CEOs resign NOW.

[namratabedi]

FREE LUIGI!! Wake up America. Luigi is innocent.

[superhitpix]

Only way to stick up for Luigi is to boycott McDonald's.

If an NYC jury let Daniel Penny off the hook, they better let this this guy walk too

[marvinmartinez]

I know prison! 13 yrs,
It is a unforgiving world! The. Guards! The inmates, will forgive him ! And watch over him! Thats. Right!!!❤

[ezragonzalez]

Good luck finding a jury "sympathetic " to the "victim" 😂

[zenzenaw]

That Mac-Donalds should be sanctioned ... It has a rat problem!

[Jeffbean-wj]

How did none of his family recognize him
