Hope Mangione is found innocent and he suits the shit out off all the media companies that declared guilty without any proof.
I'm fully convinced that if it ever starts looking like he might legitimately walk, he'll be Epstein'd. They want to keep that option for last resorts only because they understand the optics behind it, but I'm sure it's not completely off the table.
In any case, if he is not convicted and walks free then the people will know that the actual shooter was never caught and that there were no consequences for his action. The only thing they can truly do is prolong this case for as long as is necessary so that the people can never be 100% sure that they didn't catch the actual shooter, or so they forget this all ever happened at all.
But he has become a symbol greater than himself.
To wit:
You can’t kill an idea
