As a British lad, I've been keeping tabs on the news about this guy and the wide support he's getting.

With so much support, surely the public will get him out of jail just to spite the bastard rich kids and their CEO baron fathers?

The Man who was shot allowed a massive corporation to dangle its strings over people's lives, medication being pulled away which is horrifying to me who uses the NHS as my primary medical service for hearing.

What do you think? Will Luigi "The CEO Reaper" Mangione ever get out of prison?

Making bail is the least of his concerns in there. He will be lucky if he doesn't get "Epstein'd".

they better hire someone better than the guy who killed Epstein then. Should they fail enough to leave even a scent of foul play I bet the gates will open to many copycats.

nothing does more for a movement than a martyr.

His haircut and shave are signs the other prisoners are sending to the guards that this man is protected and not to fuck with him.

The only resource I can find about this phenomenon is a threads discussion about Luigi. You wouldn't happen to have an alternate source, would you?

Interesting piece on that. He might not be "protected," but he was definitely given special treatment. Most prisoners hate the ruling class even more than the average person for obvious reasons, and even average people are cheering him on.

If his trial starts going his way, he definitely will.

We do have an wild tradition of suicide in this country when people are causing owner class problems
