“Violence to make your point is never acceptable in our country” ok then explain Jan. 6th?!

[hannahk.]

they're charging him with terrorism as to make an example out of him; we are to not step out of line. he deserves a fair trial, this is outrageous

[Jade-jjor]

I pray for Brian's victims. Yes Brian the CEO had victims.

[abriestrauss]

I'd rather a world full of luigis than a world full of greedy CEOs

[bienspired]

The real question here is can we have faith in the us justice system to do the right thing? The way this case is being handled is absurd.

[miwi]

People get killed in NYC LEFT and RIGHT and nobody is punished this way?? Insane

[bunny-sb]

Luigi the champion of injustice. Free Luigi. Medicare for All.

[SuperWisewizard]

DEFEND AND BE DISCHARGED, FREE LUIGI!

[mstrfstr]

Terrorism charges for this is fucking laughable.

[tminusnyc]

"We should disagree with each other civilly and never resort to violence" = Tell that to EVERY American war vet.

[saikyomogresurrect]

They slapped a terrorism charge on him cuz of his Italian heritage, and also, they're just assuming he has gangster connections... Straight Up discrimination!!!!

[tads]

"Violence to make a point", doesn't apply to the US Military. Good try.

[IMChi-IMC]

It it sad that the state, federal, and local government are all pursuing charges against Luigi Mangione. They are really persecuting him for doing the right thing.

[musicastro]

He is not a killer praying for him to free

[Alison-kuko]

If the average citizen was treated like this.

[RoselandeBazelais-hnrh]

I truly believe that, the police put out them "CEO'S WANTED"posters out, all over New York, so they could charge him with terrorism.

[marileen._.]

Did they srop him from getting in the car so the press could take pictures? There was certainly a delay there

[nicbow]

Lol he came out with a new fade. Must not be too bad 😂😂

[Julie-hfch]

who is the prosecution? who is in the team, does anyone know? have they made it public? has any journalist even asked this question??

[KODTESTIMONIESTRAPLIFE]

I AM LISTENING AND WATCHING EVERYTHING. MOVE OVER DIDDY
