          “It’s completely unjust and an insult to the intelligence of the American people”? Comes up if you search Luigi Mangione shouting

              Pretty revealing that you remember him yelling something that proved his guilt to you but you don’t remember what it was.

              Maybe examine your own biases and what kind of track record law enforcement has with regards to respecting individual rights and the presumption of innocence.

                  Honestly? I hope it was someone else but I don’t know enough about the situation on the ground to say either way.

                  Practically? Cops are so corrupt, incompetent, and power hungry. that they’ll say/do anything to the person they think is the criminal.

                  Personally? I hope he beats the charge and it inspires thousands of other people to do the same.

              That sounds exactly like something an innocent person would say to me.

              It (my arrest and trial for murder) is completely unjust (because I am innocent) and an insult to the intelligence of the American people (because there was is no real evidence)

              I think it’s wildly optimistic with regards to the intelligence of the American people, but it’s a totally plausible thing to say.

              it makes complete sense to most of us, because it IS an insult to our intelligence that the cops think we will believe Luigi did it after the way this was handled.

      He is going to regret that for a long time. If he had screamed “I didn’t do it” instead, he would probably be out already.
