Yeah, I've got some tips..
One, don't be a moron and send threatening emails before the job is done, that just puts people on alert and makes it more likely you get caught, especially considering traceability of email.
Two, don't fire blindly into a house you colossal moron, you can probably find a hiding spot good enough to wait until your target comes outside so you can get a clear shot.
Three, don't pull out the gun until you've got a confirmed target, and don't pull the trigger unless you're goddamn sure you got a killing shot, on the right target. Remember one of the things everyone likes about Luigi is that he was successful, and the other thing everyone likes is he didn't hurt anyone.
And four, if successful, once you get out of the immediate area, make sure not to be carrying around any goddamn incriminating evidence.
This, especially the first point. When 9/11/2001 happened, the world had no clue it was coming. It was planned and then executed. There were no threats, no messages; bin-Laden didn't release a statement until after the attacks were carried out. They just did it, they didn't talk about doing it.
IIRC, the US knew it was coming but ignored the Intel.
If the end goal is to thin the herd, yeah, all those points matter.
If the goal is to terrify the CEOs into compliance or get them to take an early retirement package, threats and potshots will do fine.
Still should consider not using email, though.
The next CEO will probably be worse, unfortunately. Almost like medical profiteering draws in some of society's worst people with a penchant for hoarding wealth.
furiously nodding and taking notes
Luigi went from epic mastermind assassin to getting busted in a shitty fast food place with tons of incriminating evidence on his person. This bullshit needs a "epstein didn't kill himself" level meme
I mean yeah, I’ve been saying he was a patsy since the day he was arrested. The dude manages to evade capture for an entire week, then gets caught with a written manifesto and the entire (easily disassembled and broken into pieces to be scattered where cops will never find the entire thing) ghost gun fully intact? The entire thing smells like “accidentally” disabled body cams and planted evidence.
Yeah, especially the ghost gun thing. The point of having that is to get rid of it when you're done and it can't be traced. Why go through the effort of getting a ghost gun if you're going to keep it? It doesn't make sense.
He also sprinkled some crack on top of his own head, so if the other stuff didnt get him, that crack is pretty damning.
/s
I've been thinking this too
It's possible but it just doesn't jive with everything else he did
Are you taking notes on a goddamn criminal conspiracy!?
Also, if you seriously need notes like that, don't bother, you're gonna get caught anyway, might as well save some paper.
... else?
Also, while the state and federal government claim otherwise, they carry the burden of proof and Luigi Mangione currently claims innocence. So, unless you are also accusing him, you should add some qualifier to "[Luigi] was successful".
This presumes I would consider the creature that was killed as 'someone'.
And sure, legally he has to claim that. But unless all the evidence they found on him was planted, which I think is a bit too much of a stretch (not because I don't think they would do it, but because I think it would be too likely to come out that it was planted), then in any situation where my comments do not cause legal jeopardy I don't have an issue talking about him doing it as though it were fact.
Luigi is allegedly a national hero
The reality is that Lugi was one in a billion: smart enough to plan and execute something like this, but also had the motivation (due to health problems and personal reasons) to actually do it.
Most people who grab a gun to solve problems are unfortunately just lunatics, we just got lucky with Luigi.
If that's all it takes he's one in a hundred thousand
If he's one in a billion, well then we're owed 7 more Luigis
Considering there are like 340 million people living in the US, it's quite unlikely for another to emerge at those odds, especially since the insurance Execs went on higher alert after the first incident
