On Tuesday, the first people, I was told, started camping on the sidewalk two days ago. In December 2024, a man accused of shooting United Healthcare CEO Brian Thomson, Logi Mangoin, attended the court at 9am for hearing one of the three criminal cases against him. And this time all the preparated for the destruction was: Signs, spectators, lives, protests, media circus. That is why the line started earlier than the last time – those who really wanted to enter him knew that there was no time too soon.
Both Mangon are everywhere else. The last time the public saw it (besides a strange, unauthorized appearance in the men’s shirt list on Shane) was in the same courtroom in Manhattan in February, when hundreds of ordinary people and hundreds of media members called for a routine hearing. He is present in the memes, passing references, and in moderate content decisions, and he remains free from rent in Donald Trump’s mind-yet most people are probably not thinking or talking about Mangavin. When new images fall or are extra -updated in cases against it, they are reminded. But the wall coverage of the case has been removed, and these are the people who are most tapped who are working to be interested in the matter. In the list of about 8,000 pressing topics in the United States, there are major discussions about the reforms of MenGine and Healthcare. How do you keep the information and energy alive in the information ecosystem that is described by pieces?
It seems that judicial officials and police have learned their lesson from February: Don’t let a million people go in.
The hearing on Tuesday was more important than one of February: Mangoen’s team was successfully charged with terrorism in the New York case, which its supporters are celebrating. Given the severity of the news, anger .The environment – and small crowd – was notable.
It seems that judicial officials and police have learned their lesson since February: Don’t let a million people enter. Instead of admitting the members of the public in the hallway outside the courtroom, where they could camp, the court did the most on the sidewalk.
There are very few people here than in February, but in some ways, supporters and frenzy are even more excited. Mason Alexander, who told Stuffy He was one of the few people who made the room inside the court for the first hearing, before he arrived at 11am and was ranked 25th in the line, which means he will not find a second place. There are numbers on the back of some people’s hands in the line, which I have been told later that they are not part of any official number system from the Court House, but they were the work of a participant walking with a marker, and trying to bring the order on the line.
Alexander says “this case just echoed to me,” he explained why he showed. “Obviously he is not happy about what he allegedly allegedly done, but I think he was beneficial to him (the problem of health care system), which I think is probably the most important in the country, and how much people in everyday people talk about.”
More than a profitable NYC, a lower -level health care reform group, which is focusing on the issue of Mangavin, once again organized a rally. A large wheel of domestic spinning are “approved” and “denial” slots – rotate the wheel to learn the destiny of your insurance claim. Logy hats, kaits, DIYT shirts, flying on local health care legislation. When I arrive after 8am, reporters and news staff rally participants increase the number more – here six months ago, there are few people.
Referring to the current political climate, a participants at the Pop NYC rally said to be anonymous, one of the reasons for the “fatigue of protests” may be that attendance decreased (the morning slot also cooperated).
The partner says, “I think people are just tired, and they just want to ignore what is happening or just to give up.” “That’s why we are out of here, to tell them that we are still here. Even if you are tired, we will still move forward. And maybe they will join us the next time.”
It is also an inevitable fact that the right -wing provocative Charlie Kirk is being heard just a week after being killed in a public program in Utah. Although these two matters are not clearly linked, there is a sharp and brutal crackdown by the American right, which is directed to anyone who is considered to be “celebrating Kirk’s murder.” In private and in some cases, innocent social media posts are being used to inform or do people to employers. It is not surprising that the supporters of Mangoin are reluctant to take photos for him at a rally.
It is difficult to maintain major events and causes in the news, but there are unique, complex factors in the case of Mangavin. The main character-which many people consider to be sympathetic-are accused of stabbing and shooting at Thomson Point space (Mangoin has requested not to be guilty). The United Health Group has attacked critics, targeting film banners, social media users, and news shops. Tech companies are working to moderate Mangon -related content, though some supporters have complained that their content and accounts are being taken down without explanation. There is also a general neglect of violence that clouds the current American political dialogue. This is never a good time to be an alleged killer, but especially now.
The case of Brian Thomson’s murder makes it so strange that most people use it and follow it: Hundreds of Mangoin’s photos and videos look “hot”. The legal battle at Mangoin’s overlaping and high stake has been put in front of the public through its new photos. It punishes the seriousness of the crime and the charges as well as the punishment. There is a clear tonal disconnect in the case coverage: Daily Mail Are both “sick” fans running stories that support them and post 29 photo slide shows to Techtok, which is a combination of Mangoin’s face from every possible angle?
On Tuesday, Mangoin wore a khaki prison dress instead of street clothes. He was once again lying on ankles, wrists and waist – about which his lawyers have complained. When we were waiting for him to enter, another reporter remarked that it felt a bit like a wedding: Press and two dozen or more people kept back from the noise, as we were waiting for a bride to walk under the corridor. A supporter who managed to enter the courtroom, who asked to be named as SAS, later told me that he could hear his shackles before he could see it. Some online commentators described it as “yellow,” “thin” and as he was “crying a lot”. (I’m not really looking at it, personally.) After both hearing, Mangavin’s behavior is reading a lot – but the fact is that court dates have been extremely common and professional. There is no deep personality or psychology from staying inside the room for 20 minutes.
The most important progress made in Tuesday heard good news for Mangavin: Judge Gregory Kero, who is overseeing the New York State case against Mangavin, left two major terrorism charges, which is seen as a major victory for defense. The state argued that the murder of Thomson was intended to “intimidate or resist the urban population”, but Carro found these claims “legally inadequate”. The summary of the caro is that under the law of New York, the alleged “ideological” purpose is not in line with the definition of terrorism.
When Karo announced that he was leaving terrorism charges, some supporters in the courtroom reacted gratitude.
Kerro writes, “The court agrees with the defendant that (the state) appears to be (the state) to fight the ideological belief with the intention of intimidating or force a civilian population.” “Although the defendant was generally expressing a hatred about the UHC, and the health care industry usually did not follow that it was ‘aimed at scareing and forcing a urban population’, and in fact, no evidence was presented.” Mangoin is still facing charges of second -class murder in the New York State case.
As Karo announced that he was leaving terrorism charges, some supporters in the room court reacted gratifying – a steady surprise, probably even a soft clash, which scolded by the guard.
On other motivations, the defense of Mangavin was less successful. Mangoin faces three harmony cases: one in New York, a separate state case in Pennsylvania, and a federal case. The Mangavian defense team has argued that the state and federal cases at the same time are at risk: the US Constitution prevents the defendants from prosecuting them twice for the same crime. Carro rejected the dual danger argument. Mangavin’s lawyers have also argued that a federal case against him – which is likely to be sentenced – should proceed before the state trial. On Tuesday, Carro denied the request to stop Mangon’s state trial. The next hearing in the state case is scheduled for December 1st. The federal case is tried in court a few days later.
Lougie Mangavin’s fate and his public personality are unclear. Its issue depends on the widespread and permanent focus on how often they can go to people through their digital feeds. The windows of attention and the deep engagement of public engagement are limited as it is appearing in a public court only once in every several months. The public spectacle of this case is always there: Mangavin’s lawyers have objected to the court hearing that it is clear about it, after which photography and jointly say that they are “deep prejudice” and are damaging the right to a fair case.
The supporters of a Avenue Mangavin are present around the banned jury, when a jury is acquitted, even if he believes the defendant has committed a crime (in February, a truck containing an LED billboard that has a jury’s banned information, the court house was tired). But even though it depends on a short -term focus period and a fracture media, a major public campaign in the era of environmental system.
As I wrote in February, a cycle has begun to take shape: One day, Mangoin we all see on social media. Next he left. Rinse and repeat. When I was in court with my phone, friends text me about new Lugi photos, just as they did six months ago. Is it a meme to be – whether you have a beloved or invasive to save your life? The stake cannot be high, and the culture cannot be too dizzy.
