Moments after Luigi Mangione was handcuffed at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, a police officer searching his backpack found a loaded gun magazine wrapped in a pair of underwear.

The discovery, recounted in court Monday as Mangione fights to keep evidence out of his New York murder case, convinced police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that he was the man wanted in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan five days earlier.

    It leaves us reading your sentence wondering when you will complete a basic civics course.

      I’m guessing the word “criminal” to you means innocent person?

      For fuck’s sake, I was told there is zero nuance to be understood here. I didn’t think I’d have to explain simple concepts like what a criminal is.

      Civics course indeed.

        They’re replying in context with the post. Luigi is not a criminal and will not be one unless/until convicted by the court.

        If you’re speaking in generalities then that is the nuance that needs clarification in your earlier comment.

          And I’m replying in context to the comment I responded to. I’m seeing now that it isn’t that lemmy lacks nuance, it’s that lemmy chooses what nuance to allow.
