Steal a loaf of bread: straight to jail
Deny people insurance for healthcare: Rewarded in shareholders profits and stock options.
Murder low income people: Straight to for profit private prisons.
Murder a CEO from an insurance company that denied you coverage: Death Penalty.
Eat the rich.
Killing people with a spread sheet shouldn't absolve the killer but as long as it does I'm gonna get a rifle and name it Pivot Tables
But Luigi will.
That's how you know it's a class war.
This guy gets no death penalty, for opening fire on a crowd of innocent shoppers...but shoot a CEO, and its death penalty for you.
Yeah. Plea deal vs trial. The only reason this guy didn't get the death penalty is because they held it over his head to force him into the plea deal. If it went to trial they would seek the death penalty for sure.
I think the larger issue is that Luigi will not be offered a deal. He will be made an example.
Hell of an example if the jury says not guilty.
How could they convict? Luigi doesn’t even look like the guy from the video. He looks like a saint to me. Not guilty!
the man has 10,000 alibis in every us state and territory. sounds like reasonable doubt to me.
Luigi is not guilty, and a jury is sure to find him so.
I have many doubts about his guilt, but the rule of law is more important than any one crime. It is better for a guilty man to get a fair trial and go free than for an innocent man to be railroaded and unjustly punished. To me, it is obvious he has not received fair or just treatment under the law. It doesn't matter to me if he is guilty or not, he should go free because the prosecution has poisoned the well.
last we heard he was indicted on grand jury charges, they want to drag this as long as possible, so people will forget he exists, so they can fully charge him.
For sure
In Texas too!
Damn, guess no Health Insurance CEOs were shopping that day
In 2023 a federal judge convicted him to 90 consecutive life sentences, after he pleaded guilty of hate crimes and firearms violation.
Holy shit.
This might be controversial, but I'm glad he didn't get the death penalty. Not because I don't think he deserves it, but because I don't think we should have the death penalty at all.
I think this just shows the stark contrast between the upper class and the lower class. You aren't treated the same if you murder someone in a position of power.
I'm in complete agreement with you there. If Luigi Mangione gets the death penalty, we should absolutely take to the streets and riot.
Luigi
also considering luigis arrest was botched, and turned into a clown show with mayor adams doing the perpwalk
MAGA supporter on shooting: tHouGhtS aNd PrAyERs.
MAGA supporter on Tesla boycott: Domestic terrorism!
MAGA sympathizes with the school shooter who was merely "exercising his 2nd amendment rights"
District Attorney James Montoya said he offered the deal after a request from the majority of the families of those killed, in trying to bring this case to a close.
"bring it to close"-codeword for, we dont want to upset ammosexuals voting base.
That's it. Shoot a bunch of Hispanics, get sent to a resort prison.
Shoot a rich white healthcare executive, get sent to death row.
Tips red trucker cap...m'urica.
It is a huge disparity but let's be real, no prison in Texas is a resort prison. They're already on the list of borderline humane in US standards.
There's FPC Bryan outside College Station, which showed up on a list of "best prisons to be sent to"...but that's a woman's only prison.
That's pretty obvious. Only if the victims were rich white dudes. That's when it gets real.
That's pretty obvious. Only if the victims were rich ~~white~~ ~~dudes~~. That's when it gets real.
Ok. Admissible. White people are officially a minority. Try, you need to be rich to matter now. I do agree with the sentiment.
being white and attractive has been shown to reduce your jail sentences.
but luigi might
Wait......Texas ain't gonna Texas?
If he's not getting put in protective or solitary confinement, he's eligible for A death penalty, just not THE death penalty
They'll probably stop by Burger King for him too.
