Some guy named Luigi is back in court today in NYC.

Topic of the hearing is the admissibility of illegally obtained "evidence" during the textual stop at a Pennsylvania McDonald's.

Mangione's lawyers continue to demand that the police actually produce the witnesses who ID'd Luigi.

They also point out how scared these cops are of Luigi looking normal in court. He's so shackled he can't even take notes at trial! 🙃

Luigi Mangione appeared in an NYC court on December 1st 2025. He's dressed in a blazer with a button down shirt with red cross pattern. He smiles confidently as he interacts with someone to his right. Several armed police stand near Luigi but most are just out of frame.

It's then reported that, Luigi, the guard and most of the courtroom laughed when the guard said he didn't care about reading books.

So anyways, in preparation for this latest round of court showdowns its easy to see everyone involved is trying to improve their image.

Who can blame UHC for all the seasonal prepwork for dropping seniors off their healthcare plans next year. What a way to shutdown the ole' "evil corporation" rumours.

Some updates from court. In Luigi's PA Mc'Ds arrest paperwork the cops who arrested him plainly state that they searched all of his belongings in the actual paperwork to request a search warrant to go through his belonging's.

Which needless to say is not how warrants are supposed to work.

Much like that older Altoona case, this most recent one parallels Luigi's case on the issues of when a person must ID themselves to cops.

In this case the cops were called bc of neighbors arguing(their neighbors karened out and called the cops).

The cops say they showed up "to hear both sides" and some how ended up illegally entering an apartment and beating+arresting a man who was not even involved in the initial report.

Court just let out so there's a lot of updates from reporters OTG to read. One quick update from Inner City Press say the object to the Judge's decision today to seal much of the evidence that's being debated over.

Reporter Matthew Russell Lee says this sealing of records is a violation of press freedom and did not provide a time for journalists to object to being shutout of the evidence.

Day 2 of the Luigi Mangione NYC pre-trial hearings are underway.

I hear a raft of dirty cops giving statements but before for the legal details I hear the most newsworthy part of today's updates will likely be the release of more photos of Luigi at trail.

For some reason the prosecution wants us all to know that Luigi Mangione offered a prison guard a copy of "Doors of Perception" by Aldous Huxley.

So yea that's the update, Luigi overshared to a cop. The cop reported he didn't read the book bc he doesn't care. (notably Luigi wasn't read his rights at this point so we're not sure why this convo is even admissible at all)

For some reason the prosecution thinks this helps wash down their other illegal evidence I guess

One thing that is really impressive about Luigi Mangione's legal team is that they are actively making the legal process as accessible for the average person to follow as possible.

All of the documents they can publicly release are posted on the website below so you can read pretty much the entire case for yourself.

Love Luigi or hate him this is an important resource to understand how courts and cops operate in practice.

Judge dismisses terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione - BBC News

A judge in New York state has dismissed two terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Judge Gregory Carro also ruled second-degree murder charges against Mangione could stand during a hearing on Tuesday morning.

He said prosecutors had failed to establish that there was enough evidence to justify terrorism-related murder charges that they sought against Mangione.

The CEO of the largest rental company in America got assassinated in Manhattan last week. Mainstream media is desperately trying to cover it up, now refers to the CEO as just an “employee”.

The screenshot is from ABC News. It reads the following:

Weslye LePatner, a Blackstone employee, wife, and mom of two, was also killed. She was the global head of Core Plus Real Estate and the chief executive officer of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust. — The screenshot is from ABC News.

So the CEO of one of BlackRock's real estate subsidiaries, Wesley LePatner, was gunned down in a workplace shooting.

LePatner was in charge of a $56B fund that has been reported to be a part of BlackRock's strategic mass purchasing of homes.

The press & cops seem to be working double time to make sure this isn't seen by the average Joe as some sort of Luigi moment.

The cops claim the assailant was lost and killed the wrong CEO.

When really the only thing I can see in this story is that there are sooooo many CEOs and wealthy people getting rich at the expense of the average person that average people just don't care when they get hurt, even by accident.

Maybe its ok for people making Americans homeless or popularizing activities that give amateurs and professionals lifelong brain damage to remember we probably will make memes instead of mourning their loss. Yes even if they were "collateral damage".

I think half of the reason this story isn't getting a ton of media coverage is that fact that most people don't know what BlackRock is and how they affect their daily lives.

But had a high ranking NFL exec died all Americans would understand that and especially given the alleged reasons.

So the establishment is running their "look this guy was cRaZy, this isn't a class war its just a lunatic" story and trying desperately for people who can't afford rent to feel bad about a BlackRock exec.

Wearing a red baseball cap in public these days, REGARDLESS of any text, is like wandering around Berlin in 1933 wearing a red armband with some sort of black symbol in a white circle. Either you're a Fucking Nazi, or you're happy to be mistaken for a Fucking Nazi.

"Trump doesn’t need to declare martial law. The Congress of the United States just passed a law that gives him over $100 billion to put thugs on the street who mask themselves and hide their identities and use guns and camo costumes to intimidate their way into cities, neighborhoods, businesses, and homes and kidnap people whose skin color and native language is different than that of the likes of Stephen Miller and Donald Trump."
