In December, Luigi Mangione was arrested for shooting health insurance executive Brian Thompson. Last week, Trump’s attorney general, Pam Bondi, announced that she was seeking the death penalty. It’s a highly unusual announcement, since Mangione hasn’t even been indicted yet on a federal level. (He has been indicted in Manhattan.) By intervening in this high-profile case, the Trump administration has made clear that it believes that CEOs are especially important people whose deaths need to be swiftly and mercilessly avenged.

    He didn’t do it.

    They’re pinning some rich guy bullshit on him.

    Brian Thompson was stepping out in his wife.

    She hired a hitman from El Salvador to kill him so she could have all his stuff.

    Luigi is just some kid swept up in police railroading.

    Luigi is innocent.
