I’m genuinely confused about something that just doesn’t seem right. I feel like the media plays a huge role in defamation of character and, in some cases, outright lying, especially with how they’ve handled this entire situation. I remember being on Twitter one day, and PopBase—a media account on Twitter—posted that the police had someone in custody for the shooting of Brian Thompson. At first, they didn’t release the name or picture of the person, just that they had a suspect in custody.

A few hours later, they posted a picture of LM, along with his name. After that, multiple articles started popping up from various tabloids and even reputable media outlets explaining why LM supposedly committed the crime. What shocked me was that none of these stories even used the word “allegedly.” They were stating as fact that he was guilty and providing reasons for his actions, like claiming it was because his grandmother was denied coverage or because his mother wasn’t properly treated in the hospital, or because of his back injury.

These weren’t just small tabloids making these claims; big names like CBS News, the Daily Mail, New York Post and other major outlets were publishing these stories. But here’s the thing—LM is innocent. He hasn’t been found guilty of anything and has even pleaded not guilty because he knows he didn’t commit the crime. It feels like he’s been falsely apprehended, yet the media already convicted him in the court of public opinion before the trial even started.

What confuses me most is: where were these stories coming from? Who was publishing them, and who was feeding them this information? All the reasons they were giving for why LM allegedly did this were false. Some outlets even claimed he confessed to these motives during interrogation, which is completely untrue. I can’t help but wonder if someone is paying these outlets to spread misinformation. It’s deeply troubling to see such widespread false reporting, especially from outlets people trust, and I’m struggling to make sense of it all.

How does LM make you feel? Would you write him behind bars?

I’m collaborating with an award-winning filmmaker on a short film exploring the complex support and the strong feelings that people have been expressing for LM this month.

We’re fascinated by the passion and connection people feel for him, and we want to understand more.

If you have strong feelings about and for LM, we’d love to hear from you.

This project is all about being a vehicle to express what resonates with people about LM.

Drop a comment or DM me if you’re open to chatting and sharing your thoughts.

Stay well everyone, thank you!

She seemed to be the only person during LM’s alleged stay that saw his entire face. I’ve been wondering this whole time that when they caught LM, if they confirmed with her? Or if she’ll be asked to take the stand? Wouldn’t she be a valuable witness? But I haven’t in the news or anywhere else bring her up. Do you think the NYPD/Feds are not bringing her up because they are going to use her as a witness during the trial or do you think they’ve already asked her and she went “idk it kind of looks like him”

He’s handsome, not a face you’d forgot if seen again lmao

I’m no legal expert and not US based so curious to know how long until a verdict is reached? What would be all the various hearings and trials etc and legal processes and how long until a verdict could be reached? What would be the earliest and could it go on for years?

What time LM got arrested? I thought it was in the evening. Why he was eating hash browns in the evening?

so i’m not too savvy when it comes to knowledge about American courthouses etc (originally from the UK) and just wanted to know if someone could explain this to me? It says he is set to appear in federal court on January 18th and could return ‘if prosecutors don’t get a grand jury indictment’ but then says his next scheduled appearance is February 21st. What exactly is happening on these two dates? Would appreciate any help on this. I am also hoping to go to the trial if it is open to the public so also trying to figure out what date that is. thanks friends!!

Hello everyone,

I saw someone bring up that LM has a bail and writ hearing in PA this upcoming Monday on December 30th, however I haven’t seen anyone talking about it. Will this still be happening ? Please let us know if you have any more information on this !

Here’s the link from the PA court:

Im not much familiar with the court proceedings but with all the support he is getting and all the inconsistencies in the evidence people are discussing, does that effect the case in a positive way?

I'm NYC-based and want to know of any groups in the area organizing around this - could start one too if anyone local is interested!
