A federal indictment has been filed against Luigi Mangione, charging him with stalking and murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, using interstate travel, electronic communications, and a firearm.

Luigi is fucked

      I can empathize with the feelings he’s a hero but at the end of the day, United did him no wrong and the ceo did him no wrong.

      He’s just a weird leftist who murdered someone. He needs to spend the rest of his life in prison

    Federal charges? Looks like they are pulling out all the stops. Probably afraid he would get acquited at the state level.

      It’s that unusual in a case like this. I’ve been traveling so I haven’t been able to read everything yet. Someone told me they want to go after the death penalty which NY doesn’t have.

      Personally I’m against the death penalty but that may be the reason.

        That would be pretty messed up. But not surprising I guess.

        I would agree that the death penalty is abhorrent.

          Don’t quote me on that. I have to research it. Personally id like to see the death penalty go away. It doesn’t deter crime, it takes to long, it’s brutal, and morally questionable, etc etc

          In one place I disagree with many conservatives on.
