Do you believe Luigi Mangione was the shooter?

Title. It seems like the police just chose a random person to have someone to prosecute.

Officially speaking? That gun shot itself. Luigi seems completely innocent.
No, not since the day he was arrested. His eyebrows aren't even close to the guy in a mask pictured the day of the shooting, and one can't grow a unibrow in a couple of days. And that 'manifesto' was obviously BS.
Nope.

The video was unclear. Can't make an ID.
- Yes. 100%
  
  Nullify.
Yea, I do, but I also support jury nullification.
Fuck no! Clearly a scapegoat
- So the internet has been worshiping a false prophet?
  
  Frankly, it doesn't matter. Whether he actually did it or not, he's either a symbol of standing up against rich fucksticks, or a police scapegoat; in any case, the man deserves all the support he can get imo
The NYPD is known for frame jobs
I mean he's visibly not, but he's hot so I'm cool with seeing pictures of him

The dude who shot the guy and the smiling man from that surveillance footage are visibly two different guys, wearing different clothes, and neither of them has Luigi's stunning eyebrows. They managed to catch him in a nearby mcdonald's, with the murder gun and a manifesto written by ChatGPT in his car. I know when I go out murdering CEOs, I'm always sure to keep the murder gun in my car where police can easily find it days after the murder
- Very hot, bonus points if he did shoot the CEO.
For all I know Brian Thompson killed himself. No need to investigate.
Anyone thinking he is have bullshit in his eyes. Pics of the suspect shows a smaller, whiter, different eyelash and eyebrows than Luigi. Pics of the suspect were on the news before they arrested him, so he had plenty of time to find similar (but not identical) clothes and bag to make himself look like the killer. Why he tried to make himself look like he did it? Dont know, for fame or making fun of the police. He maybe thought je wouldnt be charged as he is obviously not the killer? But apparently the US justice is too dumb or too corrupted to see the obvious : its not him.
Yes.
It's either the most obvious frame job ever or he was trying to get caught.
The US justice system is horseshit with ringworms, but it's the only system we have. Barring obvious misconduct I will respect a jury's decision, guilty or innocent.
