Americans also have the memory of a goldfish, tbf. Look at who they elected president because they forgot how bad things were just 4 years prior.
Not a bright lot there in the states.
Unfortunately, it’s kinda just how our courts work. There really isn’t anything “new” to talk about his case until his next trial date on February 17. Not that there aren’t some conversations we all need to have about it, and how people feel about what he allegedly did. But right now everyone is distracted from that by the horse loose in the hospital. Hopefully at some point that trick stops working on us.
I mean, sure yeah. Also, though, most Americans are just dumb.
This is kind of a disingenuous take. What do you expect the news to do? Every morning 1 hour of “We are still pre-trial, no new evidence…” What piece of news persists for months and months after it happens, especially something as “self contained” as a murder.
Yeah, I had the same reaction over the summer when people rediscovered the 2016 lawsuit that accused Trump of raping a 13 year old. Everyone was like, “Why is no one covering this???” Because they did. Eight years ago. Nothing new happened, it just got picked up by social media again.
The next court date has been set for February 21.

As much as I’d like to believe it’s a conspiracy, news organizations make money from clicks. There isn’t much for them to monetize between now and February 21, so they’re focusing on more immediate stuff.
If they can get good photos and text from the next court date, Luigi will get more coverage.
Edit: there have been like five plane crashes, one US inauguration, and major US wildfires since his last court date.
Yeah. I agree. I know the news media has agendas to push, but stretching like this is counterproductive to starting or encouraging a movement.
Great points. Knowing the public is favorable towards Luigi, media outlets will definitely want to capitalize on any developments and opportunities to report on him since it’d generate clicks
Wait did you post this before the DC one tonight?!
Billionaires own all the media so it’s not surprising.
That’s not really it, it’s just another money thing. Outrage gets better numbers.
You guys need a hero that doesn’t suck. I mean he didn’t even hit a real oligarch. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos don’t give a fuck what happens to Brian Thompson. All the oligarchs were so scared of being branded as oligarchs that they responded by all getting together and having a public bukkake session with Trump as he eviscerates what little public healthcare system there is. The Christ meme is accurate - because worshipping him doesn’t do shit.
The world needs more Luigis
You’re not wrong
What the world needs more of is Bernie Sanders, not convicts.
They had a Bernie, he didn’t work, so they needed a Luigi.
Aka peaceful revolution, violent revolution and such.
They never got to Bernie, did they?
Well keep trying.
The problem is if we don’t get a leader to fix things we’re gonna get many many more Luigi’s.
Luigi hasn’t been convicted yet
we don’t even know if he’s the perp or some scapegoat
i mean, let’s be honest, his ass is 100% getting convicted.
But the user above said:
What the world needs more of is Bernie Sanders, not convicts.
That is an appeal to authority fallacy.
Legality =/= Morality
Not everyone convicted of crimes have necessarily done an immoral act.
The American Revolution were rebels committing treason against the British Empire, yet, because they won, they are hailed as heros in the new America. Imagine if they lost, they would be the “convicts” the user above were describing.
it may be true that he isn’t currently a convict, but he is most certainly going to become a convict, so it’s not entirely factually incorrect, just misrepresented.
you can call it an appeal to authority fallacy, but unless you’re going to overthrow the government, you must quite literally, appeal to the authority.
Even if he’s convicted, we still wont know if he’s the perp or some scapegoat.
Believing he’s a scapegoat requires you to also believe the fbi is incredibly competent, and were able to find a person wearing similar clothes as the perp who also happened to be in the same general area who also hated CEOs and then blast his face across the media then let him go for 4 days before picking him up in a different state.
Not to mention if the “real” killer struck again, the whole charade falls apart in the worst way.
That’s not a foregone conclusion.
He could be Epsteined any day now.
Maybe… maybe not
epstein was a pedophile, nobody cared that he died.
But if Luigi dies under suspicious circumstances, he could potentially become a martyr and spark more copycats.
Por que no Los dos?
Ah you mean the guy who sold out to Hillary. Yea we definitely need more sellouts with beach houses.
You mean the guy who WAS sold out to Hillary.
What would the news headline be?
Luigi Still In Custody While Waiting For Hearing
or
Mangione’s Attorneys Presumably Working Hard
or
Brian Thompson Still Dead
News doesn’t tend to report when things are the same as they were yesterday. If his lawyers aren’t talking to the press, and the prosecutors aren’t talking to the press, and the trial won’t start for another month, what exactly are the reporters going to report on?
There are whole genre dedicated to court cases and legal speculation, news reporting also gets ramped up to 11 when celebrities are involved.
I would love to see the headlines if this was the norm.
President Carter Still Dead, We Confirmed
Obama Not President, Maybe Enjoying Retirement?
Epstein’s Suicide Not Being Investigated
Actually any headline of something not happening sounds super suspicious lol
It would be nice to have a week of that kind of news just to get a break from the current doom news.
It sometimes happens during summer holidays, when journalists have nothing to write about.
As long as actual reporting went on afterwards it would be an upgrade
1+1=2
S(1)=2
So news only reports the news. How bizarre. This must be a conspiracy.
Brian Thompson has not yet reformed at his phylactery. Industry experts speculate his phylactery may have been destroyed in the California wildfires.
I enjoyed the last one.
I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there’s nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there’s no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be.
We know things are bad – worse than bad. They’re crazy. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: ‘Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone.’
Well, I’m not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! I don’t want you to protest. I don’t want you to riot – I don’t want you to write to your congressman, because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write. I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you’ve got to get mad. You’ve got to say: ‘I’m a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!’
So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’
I want you to get up right now. Sit up. Go to your windows. Open them and stick your head out and yell – ‘I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ Things have got to change. But first, you’ve gotta get mad!…You’ve got to say, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first, get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!
The windows to my apartment can’t be opened :(
You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I. WON’T. HAVE IT!

Ok buddy
Only posthumous winner of Best actor in a leading role, right there.
People have a stronger reaction to negative emotions, hence articles that promote fear or anger do better than ones that provide information only, or make people feel good. It’s called the negativity bias, if you wanted more information, though it’s not specific to news cycles.
Dicks out for Luigi 🍆🫡
They can’t demonize Luigi, so they’re trying to erase him. The media is seeing the limitations of their power against popular anger. They have to be terrified.
Meanwhile, the guy who actually shot the CEO is probably living off the grid in a cabin somewhere.
Meanwhile, the guy who actually shot the CEO is probably living off the grid in a cabin somewhere.
I still haven’t seen anything that links Luigi to the footage of the shooting. I don’t know how anyone looks at that footage and is like “Yup. That’s the same guy”.
If the eyebrows are thicc, you must acquit.
But Luigi had a burner gun and a manifesto on his person a whole week after the crime! Of course he did it. Why would anyone discard their burner or do literally anything with their manifesto after a statement like that? Lmao
🧤
You should label your images if they are AI generated.
Label it how?
The body of the post.
I didn’t even notice until your comment. That’s such a weird image to have an AI make; how hard is it to google ‘billboard in a city or whatever’ and run with the first result?
Not that hard at all. Though these days a lot of Google images results are also AI generated. I’m not even sure if the image above is real or not.
You should label your comment if they are made by a bot.
I think they did.
What? I was just poking fun at the OP by implying he’s a bot.
By not do you mean bot because if not then I don’t know what
My head hurts
Honestly, why do you care?
because boooo AI
I completely agree with them.
he asked why
No he didn’t, it’s a flippant “you shouldn’t care.” He doesn’t actually want to know. Everyone knows that.
“Why should I care?” Similarly is “I don’t give a shit.”
you’re choosing to interpret it negatively. you read to much into it. I tend to interpret ‘honestly, why do you care’ as someone who honestly wants to know why the other cares. Why would it not be that? It makes a lot of sense to me to ask this question, because I don’t see the relevance of something being AI or not in the context of a meme.
I am not choosing to read too much into it. They chose those words for a reason. Stop white knighting just to be contrarian.
i mean clearly we don’t need a label to recognise them
such a dearth of real life billboards we had to ai generate one huh
ah well
Free Luigi!
And Wario!
Stupid autocorrect changed it to Mario…
Medias are afraid of getting Luigi’d
