Good point.

“As of right now the information we’re getting from Altoona is that the gun appears to be a ghost gun, may have been made on a 3D printer, with the capability of firing a 9mm round,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Monday. “Obviously, that will come out during our ballistics testing.”

According to the Pennsylvania criminal complaint filed after Mangione’s arrest, officers found a black 3D-printed pistol and a black 3D-printed silencer in a search of his backpack. CBS News obtained the photo below showing the weapon police say was found.

Drag isn’t sure what to believe, whether the gun was 3D printed or not. The report says yes but the chief says maybe.

The mods have no basis to ban anyone for misinformation when the legal system that will judge Luigi hasn’t come to a decision and is specifically avoiding saying he’s guilty. If they want to ban opinions they disagree with, they should have a slam-dunk argument against those opinions. They don’t. There is no presumption from the legal system that Luigi is guilty, and no reason for the c/news mods to ban people for saying otherwise.

The law says the suspect is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

The feds claim that they found a manifesto by Luigi which says he did it. Luigi’s lawyer says he hasn’t seen the manifesto and he has doubts about whether it will be admissible as evidence, but that either way Luigi will plead Not Guilty.

Attorney Thomas Dickey tells KDKA Radio’s Marty Griffin, “Under the law, he is 100 percent presumed innocent and that’s the way it is.” Dickey says that “if and when (Mangione) is charged with any offense, his plea will be not guilty.” The attorney says, especially when it’s a high-profile case, the public needs to remember everyone is presumed innocent until a conviction.

Dickey was also asked about the alleged manifesto that was allegedly written by Mangione. “Well, first of all, I haven’t seen that . . . there’s a thing called the rule of completeness. And what that is . . . evidence that is inadmissible for a lot of is not only unreliable, but it’s not allowed to come in because the law says so. And most of that is constitutionally based.”

“I don’t even know if this is him,” his lawyer, Mr Dickey, said in a recent interview with US media outlet NewsNation, referring to images of Mr Thompson’s killer.

Dickey added that he “hasn’t seen any evidence [Mangione] is the shooter,” adding: “I have not seen one scintilla, one speck, one drop of any evidence yet. So, it’s what I decided, I think, was in our best interest to do today.”

A person is considered innocent until proven guilty. This is stated in Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), of which both the Netherlands and the United States (U.S.) are state party. This presumption of innocence is incorporated in the Dutch as well as the U.S. legal system

Some people in this thread are probably going to ask why Luigi is innocent. It’s a valid question, so let’s answer it here: The weapon was a 3D printed disposable gun. They’re meant to be thrown away as soon as they’re used. The shooter did dispose of a bag full of monopoly money, but the police say the gun wasn’t disposed of. That doesn’t make any sense. The shooter wouldn’t carry the gun across state lines and then hang out in McDonald’s with the murder weapon and a manifesto. Luigi says the evidence was planted, and his story makes more sense than the feds’. Maybe the feds are telling the truth, but when it comes to “reasonable doubt”, there is some very reasonable doubt that Luigi did it.

EDIT: mods removed another comment:

Second degree murder would be a slam dunk if Luigi was the shooter and they didn’t plant the gun and manifesto on him

Yes, mining companies should all be nationalised for digging up the country’s ground and putting carbon in the country’s air.

Do .ml users know what critical support is?

Unless they run on a neural net or a genetic algorithm.

Wasn’t Thompson living in a different house than his wife and on the way to a divorce when he died? That’s not better off, that’s just richer.

Hungary attempted to negotiate a christmas ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. The ceasefire would end up wasting Ukraine’s last chance to win the war with Biden’s support. After Christmas, Trump becomes president and cuts support to Ukraine. Hungary’s ceasefire would have resulted in Ukraine losing their best chance and many dead civilians. Zelenskyy is here explaining his decision to reject the ceasefire without pointing fingers at anyone in particular.

Electricity can be felt, but not touched.

Maybe. Or maybe they like the pollution. Maybe with better resource availability, they’re able to spend more energy on growing bigger and stronger without threatening survival.

Oh. This argument is pointless. Carry about your day, then.

Are you? You’re the one claiming racism because drag listens to Aboriginal elders. Drag’s got sources for what drag says, and it seems like you don’t. So you’re just making stuff up.

Besides, the noble savage trope is about thinking indigenous societies were pure an untainted by evil. Aboriginal Australians knew what evil was. They had policies in place within their governments to prevent ecological devastation. That’s not innocence, it’s technology. Aboriginals aren’t savages and drag didn’t say they are. You’re the one denying their advanced environmental policies. Sounds like you’re the one calling them savages.

That’s not how evolution works. A species evolves to get stronger in battle if the weak ones die in battle. A species evolves stronger lungs if the weak ones die of lung cancer. Dying of lung cancer doesn’t make a species better fighters.
