Several documentaries publically treating Luigi Mangione as guilty before his trial even started got released over the past 2 months.

Here's the billion dollar companies behind them.

I watched the one on Max. It was pure corporate propaganda. It was so desperately trying to make a case against Luigi, that even when they mentioned how many people were supporting him, they tried to make it a snide remark. Like:

"Supposedly...the American public is behind him. But would they be if they knew that he had written: A MANIFESTO, just like other serial killers."

It's so blatantly obvious it's truly painful to watch. Got my blood boiling against Max and the oligarchs more than anything else.

The only criticism I have of Luigi is that he only did it once.

It's sad that even if it's too obvious to you and us. It might not be for many people. We have been making fun of "obvious lies" for a long time, but recently we've learned people are really believing that, they are willingly following the every word. I don't know if they are plain stupid, like echoing each other, or just want to blame people. It seems to work.

In summary don't shrug it off by called it obvious lies, it is probably working for a lot of the population.

Damn, I did not realize he was actually a serial killer. Imagine what would have happened if he weren’t stopped?
