Luigi Mangione Seeks Plea Deal, Apparently Discovering That Revolutionary Courage Has Its Limits

Luigi Mangione, the alleged cowardly assassin who became an unlikely folk hero for parts of the online left, is reportedly looking for a plea deal with federal prosecutors. 

Apparently, declaring war on capitalism from behind a gun is one thing. Facing the federal justice system is another.

Mangione, who is charged with the cowardly 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is reportedly in “serious negotiations” with federal prosecutors, according to a new report. An unexpected hearing has been scheduled for Friday at 11 a.m. in Manhattan federal court, less than a month before his federal trial is scheduled to begin on September 8.

Mangione cowardly shoots Brian Thompson in the back, allegedly

According to TMZ, a potential deal could involve Mangione pleading guilty to murder in an open plea, leaving his sentence entirely up to the judge without a recommendation from prosecutors.

The federal case is going to be presided over by U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Garrett, Southern District of New York. She was nominated by President Joe Biden in 2023, recommended by Sen. Chuck 'Nostrils' Schumer (D-NY), and confirmed by the Senate on a largely party-line vote (49-46, with nearly all Democrats supporting and nearly all Republicans opposing).

the left's angry heart-throb 

Her professional background includes long service as a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, roles in the New York State Attorney General’s office, and serving as New York City Department of Investigation commissioner. Federal judges are officially nonpartisan, but her appointment by a leftist vegetable of a president is the primary public indicator of association.

The state case is being presided over by Justice Gregory Carro, New York Supreme Court. He was appointed by then-Mayor Rudy Giuliana, a Republican.  

By having Judge Garnett presiding and deciding the sentence, it could give the cowardly Mangione an opportunity to present mitigating factors at sentencing, including his views about healthcare, corporate greed and whatever arguments his attorneys believe might explain how those grievances supposedly contributed to the killing.

In other words, the revolutionary who allegedly decided that society needed a violent dose of his personal ideology may now be hoping the court will consider his feelings before deciding how long he should spend in prison.

And based on how the left is adjudicating crime, he may get a medal of valor for the cowardly murder of Brian Thompson.

Such a deal could potentially result in a sentence of less than life in prison and could also raise double jeopardy issues in the state case. Mangione faces additional charges in New York and Pennsylvania. Judge Gregory Carro previously dismissed the defense's double jeopardy argument as premature.

The sudden hearing follows reports that plea negotiations took place in June before stalling. Mangione's top lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, accused federal prosecutors of attempting to “prejudice” public opinion against her client.

“This information attributed to ‘anonymous sources’ is part of a troubling, deliberate pattern by prosecutors and law enforcement to prejudice Luigi, manipulate public opinion, and violate his constitutional right to a fair trial and impartial jury. Every defendant in America is presumed innocent until proven guilty, including Luigi, who has to fight the same charges twice.”

Of course, every defendant is entitled to the presumption of innocence and a fair trial. That is precisely why civilized societies have courts, judges and juries instead of allowing angry political ideologues to decide who deserves to live or die.

Brian Thompson's family

Mangione's case has nevertheless attracted an unusual amount of attention, particularly from people who appear to regard an alleged murderer as a symbol of resistance against corporate America.

On Tuesday, a judge ruled that jurors in the trial will remain anonymous because of concerns about intimidation and harassment involving witnesses and jurors. The judge also approved an overflow room for media and spectators, with both audio and video permitted.

More than 80 news organizations are expected to attend if the trial proceeds as scheduled.

For now, the alleged revolutionary has apparently reached the stage of his grand crusade where lawyers, judges and sentencing guidelines matter quite a bit.

The man who allegedly wanted to send a message to corporate America may soon be sending one to the judge instead: Please, sir, may I have less than life?

What a coward. Do you agree?

Sean "Diddy" Combs has even more problems à la Blasey-Ford

He crazy sexual

Six new sexual assault lawsuits were filed anonymously in Manhattan federal court against Sean "Diddy" Combs in which the plaintiffs are each seeking unspecified damages. And according to a New York Post report.  four of the plaintiffs are men and two are women.

In 1995, at an event for Biggie Smalls' music video "One More Chance," a woman was allegedly sexually assaulted by the rapper. He is accused of luring a woman victim into a bathroom where he slammed her head into a wall and raped her, according to the report.

"You better not tell anyone about this, or you will disappear,” Combs allegedly told the woman.

Another plaintiff claimed that Combs sexually assaulted him at one of his White Parties in 1998 when he was 16, according to an NBC News report. If true, this makes Combs a member of the LBGTQ+1LOL community.

Then in 2004, two women were sexually assaulted by Combs after attending a photo shoot involving his group Da Band, according to da court filings.

The rapper is also accused of forcing on of the women to perform fellatio on him, and threatening to have them both killed if they disobeyed, the report states. He is accused of then molesting and raping the other woman.

In addition, Combs is being sued by a man who worked as a security guard at one of the music mogul's "White Party" back in 2006, according to the report. Combs is accused of spiking the man's drink and sexually assaulting him.

In another suit, an adviser for a rival clothing brand, was assaulted and forced to perform oral sex on Combs inside a Macy's stockroom back in 2008, according to the NBC News report. 

In 2021, a plaintiff has accused Combs of lacing his drink at a party. Combs and three other men then allegedly proceeded to rape him.

Combs' sex crimes trial is set to begin on May 5, 2025.

The bisexual alleged rapist has been placed on suicide watch in case he "Epstein's" himself as he remains detained for upcoming sex crimes trial. He is being held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center and is also facing  racketeering and sex trafficking charges following his arrest in Manhattan.

In an unsealed indictment, prosecutors allege Combs created "a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in" various crimes, such as "sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice." 

It is also alleged that Combs used his businesses and employees "to carry out, facilitate, and cover up his abuse and commercial sex, according to prosecutors," the media reported. The employees remained 'loyal' through acts of violence and threats, prosecutors said.

He is also accused of threatening and forcing victims to perform sex acts that he would record called "freak offs", according to the indictment.

Combs would assault women by striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at and kicking them, prosecutors said.

From 2008 to the present, Combs abused, threatened and coerced victims to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct, Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said at a press conference.

The rapper was denied bail following an appeal hearing in a Manhattan court in September, but his lawyers were seeking a house arrest as he awaits trial.

Nation of Islam's head anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan sues ADL for $4.8 billion

Notorious Jew-hater and Nation of Islam's leader Louis Farrakhan is suing the Anti-Defamation League, a former civil rights group than now acts on behalf of the Democratic Party for $4,800,000,000. He filed the lawsuit in Manhattan Federal Court and it alleges defamation for calling him out as an anti-Semite. 

"This lawsuit is to ensure that the abuse, misuse, and false use of the terms 'anti-Semite,' 'anti-Semitic,' and 'antisemitism,' as falsely charged by the [ADL] is permanently barred from being a tool to defame [Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam] and stifle the exercise of constitutional rights," the lawsuit read, the New York Post reported Saturday.

The lawsuit "has no merit," according to ADL Director Jonathan Greenblatt.

"Louis Farrakhan is an antisemite," Greenblatt told the Post. "One need look no further than his own words and statements to come away with the same conclusion." Now he can join the ranks of the anti-Semites of Harvard, Yale, Brown, and so on. 

Farrakhan who has been correctly compared to human excrement, has had an oft-criticized and detailed modus operandi of making statements against the nation of Israel and Jews. The POS has even called Adolf Hitler a "great man."

Here's Farrakhan with Obama

However, Farrakhan alleges in his lawsuit that correctly labels him as antisemitic is a "false narrative" pushed by the ADL, according to the report. 

But let's not forget that he referred to Jews as termites: "So when they talk about Farrakhan, call me a hater, you know what they do: Call me an antisemite; stop it. I'm anti-termite," Farrakhan infamously stated, referring to a common pest that is treated by exterminators.

The lawsuit argues Farrakhan "has never harmed a hair on the head of any Jewish person or even advocated for such." BECAUSE HE'S A COWARD AND NOW HE'S 90 YEARS OLD!

Farrakhan called out the "battle of Biblical proportions" against the ADL in the lawsuit filing, which included 787 pages, arguing against his being deemed anti-Semitic, according to the Post.

In another speech from 1998, the Nation of Islam lunatic said, "The Jews have been so bad at politics they lost half their population in the Holocaust."

More recently the Minister of Hate said in 2018, "Jews are responsible for all this filth and degenerate behavior that Hollywood is putting out."

Anti-Semitism has become acceptable in some circles and fashionable in others. It's disgusting and shameful.

Criminals/terrorists are invoking 'The Trump Defense'

New York -- Attorneys for the jihadi terrorist Sayfullo Saipov, a Muslim accused of killing eight people by driving a truck onto a Manhattan bike path in October, are attempting to get a federal judge to prevent prosecutors from seeking the death penalty. They claim that President Trump's twitter posts have made a fair legal process impossible.

The motion filed in Manhattan federal court states that Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the person who decides whether to pursue the death penalty, cannot be objective because Trump has pressured him to make decisions based on "nakedly political considerations" and has called for Saipov to be executed.

Saipov's lawyers referred to a Monday tweet in which Trump criticized the "Jeff Sessions Justice Department" for indicting two GOP congressmen "just ahead" of the midterm elections. They also mentioned two tweets after Saipov's arrest calling for him to face the death penalty.

They said that the President's tweets make it impossible for Sessions to "exercise independent discretion" on the matter and asked that if the judge refuses to bar the death penalty altogether, an independent prosecutor be appointed to make the decision in place of Sessions.

In other words, they posit that since Sessions went ahead and followed the law by indicting two Republican congressmen right before the midterm elections, that he would bend to Trump's pressure after proving that he wouldn't.

That's ridiculous.

A spokesperson for U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman's office who is prosecuting the scumcrumpet, declined to comment, nor did the Department of Justice.

Saipov is a 30-year-old Uzbek national who plowed his AR-15 truck down a bike lane on the West Side of lower Manhattan. He was arrested immediately on the scene.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, the deadliest assault on New York City since Sept. 11, 2001.

Saipov was charged in an indictment with eight counts of murder, attempted murder and providing material support to Islamic State. He has pleaded no guilty.

The jihadi told investigators after the attack that he was inspired by Islamic State videos and began planning the killings a year earlier, according to a criminal complaint filed by prosecutors the day after the attack.

Saipov spoke publicly at a pre-trial hearing in June. He spoke of a "war" led by Islamic State to establish sharia on Earth [Islamic law where non-Muslims and all women have few rights] and he dismissed the court's judgment as "not important."

Hopefully he will look forward to meeting his virgins in Paradise, because he doesn't look as if he's had many opportunities to meet any here on Earth.
