No. It’s just the news cycle. People forget quickly. This is no more special than anything else.
luigi was not on the news because he killed someone but because he caused the share price to drop. the share price has recovered since. as simple as that.
I heard he was being held in another castle.
He’ll be back in the news when he goes to trial. He’ll really be in the news if jury nullification happens.
Just so everyone is aware, if jury nullifies this trial we will see the Supreme Court decide that nullification is no longer legal and is a criminal offense.
That is where the country is right now.
I’m praying that it will either be jury nullification or a full-blown acquittal since I have some doubts that he is the one.
It would actually be better if it turned out he was actually innocent. It means the actual killer got away completely scot-free.

And why would the government want to kill a healthcare CEO who was doing his job exactly in the manner that pleases the establishment?

Free Luigi. Patron saint of all of those denied for stupid reasons, including my friend who had to have his necrotic gallbladder removed last week, and one of those shitass insurance companies denied his hospital stay, because apparently your gallbladder should fall out of you itself or something.
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.
Why not? They did that for Hunter Biden’s laptop.
And Hillary’s emails, the 2020 election, the border “crisis” etc. They just keep shit on repeat until it its no longer useful
“List of other people we think Luigi Mangione would like to kill” would be a good start.
You could probably start a tiktok trend if you make it cool enough.
Every day? You overestimate the attention span of the American public
US public also has goldfish memory. Its a wonder anyone bothers to even make new movies.
LOL largely we don’t. Have you seen the amount of sequels / spinoffs in theaters?
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.
No, two weeks is our attention span and that’s stretching it.
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.
Sorry, I was distracted, can you say that again
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.
He got charged December 9, and lets be real, there were other orange skinned bits of news that the average asshole was more interested in then him by them.
- Luigi mangione is gone from the Internet

My brother in christ your instance is part of the reason for that.
Dicks out for Luigi 🍆🫡
That’s a parade I would join.
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.
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?!
I meant all the ones around Xmas, but yeah.
News has always had a short attention span. I doubt that in this case it’s in any way related to the specific events. It’s just the usual.
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.
Why not both?
Because billionaires will gladly promote the killing of billionaires if it made them richer. Capitalism co-opts everything.
I propose a Billionaire Hunger Games. One Billionaire takes all. Participation is mandatory once your net worth hits a billion.
