NY - UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot in Midtown. #12 *Arrest*

[PrairieWind]

LM is not a true Martyr, he's a big time attention seeker IMO.

He could have admitted guilt upon arrest and none of this media circus and hype would be happening if he were truly sincere in what he stated in his writings.

I believe LM is going to get quite the surprise when he is sentenced to a very long and well deserved prison sentence. Where will all his fan boys and girls be then? Moved on to the next big thing like he never existed. Good, I don't condone acts of terrorism and Bryan Thompson's family deserve justice.

JMO

I tend to agree. But in my mind it doesn't matter. He can do what he wants. He is going to spend most if not all of the rest of his life in prison.
If his attorneys are playing games to get their name out or just make money, I guess they have to live with that. People that are donating should just know that their money is going to pay high priced attorneys. Most everyday criminal defense attorneys don't act that way.

 

[Sundog]

Crazy, but this does not surprise me. LM seems Narcissistic and very attention seeking, not a true champion of the less fortunate.

JMO

Agree, and I feel sorry for the women who were LM's victims and are too afraid to come forward now.

 

[stanerd]

But the new insider who has shared about his sex tapes said he would often record himself in the act, and would also share nude pictures of himself with women he knew.

'People thought he was this misunderstood genius, but... he was filming everything like he was starring in his own private empire,' the source told Radar.

Didn't Radar Online also run a story about LM being gay, preferring black men specifically? IMO it's not a highly credible source of information.

 

[JDG]

The fans of LM are both gay and straight, both men and women AFAIK

I didn't notice that the Daily Mail article was quoting Radar Online. I have reported the post to mods to remove if inapprorpiate.

Women Doing What?

Luigi Mangione sex tape bombshell

The 26-year-old has amassed a loyal fanbase behind bars, with women reportedly throwing themselves at him as he faces charges for allegedly shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

From above:
LM "... amassed a loyal fanbase behind bars, with women reportedly throwing themselves at him as he faces charges for allegedly shooting dead UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson."

Loyal fanbase? Maybe for the attention span of a gnat.

Throwing themselves at him? Hope the bars don't bruise those devoted fans.

Daily Mail. At its finest hour or just reporting as usual?

How Luigi Mangione became a "gay icon" online

The alleged killer has been described as a "sex symbol" and "radiant," with many NSFW posts circulating widely on social media.

www.newsweek.com

''Due to Mangione's exceptionally good looks and toned physique, he has also become a "sex symbol" for many people. Even before Mangione's identity was revealed, the widely circulated surveillance images that allegedly captured just his eyes and eyebrows above a surgical mask, as well as an image of the lower half of his face as he smiled at a Manhattan hostel clerk, drew significant speculation about his appearance.''

Murder pretty much negates any sexiness IMO. In fact, it makes what was once good looking rather ugly. But that's MOO.

MOO

You can’t tell me his family thought he was just a nice, well educated young man.

They had to know something was amiss.

Perhaps they thought it was a phase.

I’d love to be part of their inner sanctum for a week or so. Curious

But I do not find him attractive in any way, looks like he needs a good bath & shave. JMO

I haven't considered LM's looks either way, as his actions totally negates my thoughts of his personal appearance.

Although I did notice in the beginning he had consistently posted shirtless pictures of himself on SM. LM didn't come across as in pain and suffering. He looked very physically fit and proud to show his bod off, which is fine and his right.

Just don't go around killing innocent people claiming to be a Martyr for the down trodden and less fortunate. All the while, the proverbial silver spoon sticking out of his mouth.

MOO

I would disagree here. First, in almost all criminal cases, a not guilty plea is entered initially to allow the defense attorneys to learn the case and properly advise their client on how to proceed. A defense attorney would almost be committing malpractice to do anything else. 99% of defense attorneys would handle the case looking for best resolution likely for their client. Now, in regards to extreme high dollar firms with a client with a lot of money? I don't know, but it would be very unethical to milk a criminal case for money against a client's wishes. I suspect LM is wanting to keep the not guilty plea for now to get the publicity. Once he pleads guilty, he will have a sentencing hearing scheduled (he will get to talk) but then its over. I'm not sure he ready to ride off to prison and silence just yet.

he faces a possible death penalty and has a death penalty specialist- he is not going to just go along with that (even if he meted out a death penalty himself)

IMO, LM should be very choosey which face tattoos he allows his cellmates to administer.

No, not just yours. Mine too. Ugly inside and out. I fail to see the attraction.

More likely they knew and were in denial.

This is coming chilling to me, that he's being seen as some sort of insurance messiah. Like he holds some kind of power.

When in reality he did what a power mongering coward does -- he shot a father in the back.

I am pained for those who are desperate for relief from insurance denials and it scares. The last thing LM should be getting IMO is sympathetic fan mail.

Perhaps an individual's narcissistic behavior is to plead not guilty, part of the fantasy to continue showing self-importance, besides given this being his attorney's advice.

His entitlement cant be ignored, he's occupied with power and control and everything is always about LM. He’s not fond of anybody but himself. All that money being sent to him. Hes laughing at them and thinking what fools; he shot a man in the back. The man was minding his own business, going to work (something LM didnt want to do) and sadly Brian Thompson's sons will never see him, again, ever.

LM's the fool, too.

Justice for Brian Thompson's loved ones
