This dude is a hero.
We need to be spreading the words "jury nullification" through out social media.
Where's the gofundme?
GFM will disable the fundraiser; one of their restrictions is that the fundraiser can't be used for "the legal defense of financial and violent crimes". Wait until things are farther along. There may be some kind of defense fund announced. If there isn't, then my personal suggestion would be to mail anonymous cash to his lawyers (once they're announced), saying it's to be used for his defense.
What about out right innocent decision? Ya Jury nullification if a boot licker gets on the Jury. But I know I'd be advocating for an innocent verdict if I was on the jury. Hell NYC just let a man who strangled a mentally ill person to death on camera walk because self defense. Luigi killing the CEO is a form of self-defense in my opinion.
Jury nullification isn't some secret third option. The jurors individually can only choose guilty or not guilty. If they are unanimous, that is the decision. If they are not unanimous, it's a hung jury effectively voiding the entire court process up to that point. The government then needs to decide if they want to re-file and try again.
Jury nullification is when evidence is presented establishing clear guilt and the jury still renders a not guilty verdict. 5th amendment prohibits double jeopardy so they cannot be retried.
They are both the same: a jury voting "not guilty". There is no such thing as an "innocent" verdict.
“Police say…”
Never trust this statement in journalism.
Hehe. I mean, I think almost everyone has ill will towards corporate America… so it’s not even news
I guess we're all Luigi Mangione?
We are ALL Luigi Mangione on this blessed day.
I guess theres a Luigi in all of us. Fuck it, let's all stand up.
Wow we’re getting close to cyberpunk 2077 if the police are actually adding “slander against a corporate rep” to a criminal’s rap sheet
Now that I think of it, that murderer Kyle Rittenhouse got off because of all the support from right wing media... why can't we have a party to back us up? Could a good legal defense and public support actually work in the favor of good people for once? Can we see Luigi speak at a new DNC once he's acquitted and give a speech on behalf of a progressive candidate?
Jesus, what a fantasy timeline I just thought of. Lol
The Dems rely on corporate America, they will not be an ally in revolution
Does anyone not have ill will towards corporate America other than corporate America?
Pfft. I bet 80% of Americans have "ill will" towards the capitalist fucks in corporate America, if for no other reason than they steal money from the working class to fill their own and investor's pockets.
Not nearly as many as should. Most people are far too distracted by the bullshit culture war to care about the real class war.
Pretty sure polls say a majority of americans agree with him.
Hopefully a jury will too.
Brilliant deductive skills there.
They'll be promoted due to their "high intelligence".
Who doesn’t?
The only thing this guy had to do, apparently, was to scrub his personal possessions and electronics, not say a word to his friends, and then when the cops ran him through Clearview and found him, say he’s invoking his right to a lawyer and has nothing to say. And leave his cell phone at home, but presumably he did that. If all they had was the photo, then whatever. People look like other people sometimes.
He still had his ghost gun, and the motherfucker was carrying his manifesto on his person, when they picked him up. He shouldn’t have even been going to the damn McDonald’s. Just get DoorDash for a while and stay in the house until you’re not on the news anymore.
There is no guarantee that they’re telling the truth about how they picked him up and all, but it sounds like the kid was sloppy, which is a damn shame.
also sounds major stupid, perhaps like planted evidence, to disimpress future followers.
Not really. It's just a longer, slower form of self-immolation, if the public goes back to apathy until he dies. If he makes it long enough for the public sector to make a change, he may become the next Mandela, or Hitler. A God to some, the Devil to others. 2000 years from now, it may be a sociocultural religion to carry vaporizers and off corrupt billionaires and aspiring, if the human species makes it long enough.
Same
Gosh I wonder why. A corporation that is denying you the ability to live at one of the highest rates. I am glad my death can help the profits of his corporation.
Holy shit. This changes everything.
Me too bruh
Lmao who doesnt
Good. He's a fucking hero. Fuck everything about corporate America and praise be anyone willing to attack it.
Well, that definitely puts him within the top few hundred million suspects.
Everyone who rated The Lorax 5-Stars is now on a watchlist
I can probably point to hundreds of millions of people with ill will toward corporate America.
Wow, truly a man after my own heart
Seems like a good dude to me. I don't think it was him.
Bullshit to limit this to the US. I have ill will towards global corporations regardless of location.
