Inside the circus at Luigi Mangione’s court hearing — where supporters want to be heard, but not seen: ‘Delulu for Lulu’

Luigi Mangion Fangirls line up to secure a spot in court on Thursday night and watch the crazy murderer pleads “innocence” on Friday.

Many of the 20 or so supporters never spoke to the press.

Most people wore covid masks along with their hood and colour. A pair of young women who look like a radical chic version of Jackie O wore silk scarves printed over their heads and oversized sunglasses.

One gal yelled at her employer in a photo that she didn’t want to see her.

As I tried to interact with these people, I met a stare of death. The lonely gagru told me to “move on.”

They hope to be counted, but they are not identified. That’s certain for you.

John McIntosh, who was in fifth line to enter the courthouse at 40 Center Street, spent the night outside. There are no takers. “We should have lowered the price to $50,” he said.

Chelsea Manning, who provided WikiLeaks with time categorizing US military documents, waited patiently in a pinstriped suit and tie. Manning, who also appeared at the previous Mangion hearing, refuses to conduct the interview and simply says, “I am here as a citizen… I am here to observe the court proceedings.”

The protests that were then organized by people from an activist group broke out in opposition to prosecutors who filed notices about seeking the death penalty for the case on Thursday night.

Nadine Saylor came from Maryland and held a banner spray painted with the message “Luigi before the fascist.” Yoel Friedman, an orthodox Jew from Monroe, New York, read “Deny Delay Depose,” and wore a sign on his back that promoted his website.

“I support Luigi… he did the right thing. He opened people’s eyes to talk about this,” Friedman means health insurance. When asked if the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was justified, he said “Yes.”

Even on a sunny spring day, cold words.

Not only is Thompson murdered in cold blood, but in his death, the two fathers have been slandered multiple times as he is a healthcare Hitler, systematically and intentionally killing people from his corner office.

“These are good people, clever people,” said Jaba Rand, a Mangion fan and an artist who appeared to sketch his brows in court if possible. “These are people you want to participate in our country’s democracy and justice. They’re not crazy fangirls, they’ll probably change the world.”

I think they already have by supporting the execution of the powerful. Where does justification stop?

Several fans also appeared in court last Friday despite the cancellation of Mangion’s appearance. One is a new Hampshire resident who called herself Chaos V, hosted an improvised concert to perform her original song, “DeLulu for Lu Lu.”

“I hope he’s trapped in me,” she sang. “And they throw away the key.”

It was written, she told me, she was lying in a hospital bed with unspecified stomach problems. She believes women are not being treated well by the medical industry.

“Obviously, murder isn’t just about anything, but when I’m killing a lot of people, I really don’t feel that bad,” she said. She denied that Mangion’s appearance was inspiration for the techno masterpiece, but her friend inserted it to add that other fans “I think he’s hot. I’m just saying it.”

The defendant’s looks are a delicate theme around him. I was approached by a 26-year-old California native. She was disappointed by the media calling women who love Mangion’s supporters.

“I’m a lesbian,” she said. “I don’t care about his looks.”

It was his actions that sparked the late conversation, she added.

She asked if I felt a peaceful protest was the answer and I said yes. Then she hit me with that: “I’ve been a climate activist since I was 15, and nothing has changed.”

That’s what it means. The majority of young Americans were given a stable diet of fraudulent porn through schools, social media and the celebrities they follow. He sold activism as a salvation.

They saw the young Greta Samberg screaming. Only if they spoke and organized would an urgent outcome be guaranteed.

The girl was polite, curious and even sweeter, but I found her words intruding me like Mr. Friedman.

Yes, there are real issues with the healthcare system that need to be addressed.

However, this is a dangerous way of thinking, and it is not only justified to challenge violence when people cannot sway with reason, but it is right. To believe that power will bend into the threat of bloodshed.

It’s not democracy, it’s terrorism.
