Happy to clear this up for you. Only courts of law are held to the “innocent until proven guilty” standard. Ordinary people are free to form and share their own opinions based on reported facts. Mangione is a murderer. Hope that helps!

"facts"

> Mangione is a murderer

Are you trying to rage-bait people?

Maybe you missed the "opinions based on" part of the very short comment?

I don't think you should be opening yourself up to accusations of libel like that. It's foolish if you don't have any proof to incur the possible threat of being sued without any upside, apart from appearing "edgy".

Opinion based on disclosed facts is not illegal in the US; Mangione would lose the suit, if he bothered to sue. Unlike the UK, we have free speech in the US.

Agreed. I fully support anyone's right to call him a hero or a murderer (or both)
