New idea for a ~~band name~~ law firm name:

23andPlea

[-] GoodOleAmerika@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Must be 23 peasant than one ceo.

[-] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 30 points 6 days ago

They can’t even prove he did it

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Nobody did it, the guys head just did that.

[-] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Exactly, he had spontaneous lead spawn pop up inside him. Happens every day to assholes

There’s a guy who killed 23 people in a Walmart in El Passo in 2022. Got charged with hate crimes on account of…he’s openly racist and said that’s why he did it.

That guy just got a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.

Nobody should identify the criminal justice system in America as anything else but a mechanism for protecting the rich.

[-] KarlHungus42@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

Seems very short-sighted on their part. They’ve made the penalty for taking out 1 the same as taking out 100. They’ve also highlighted the disparity between punishments for crimes against average people vs the rich and powerful.

They wanna make martyrs now?

[-] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 204 points 1 week ago

Bizzare. Americans are seriously crazy. It's a monarchy really, it's so in your face, like a bad comedy.

But what if he runs for office? Then he can't be convicted, right?

[-] prole 13 points 6 days ago

Maybe we should put the prosecutors to death instead.

[-] O_R_I_O_N@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

Storm the Bastille

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 113 points 1 week ago

Obligatory, I do not condone violence per lemmys rules, or whatever.

Agreed. This might be the only method to save us. Rule of law doesn't work, we are owned by the billionaire class. Bring out the guillotines for these bootlickers. Might be the only way we get free.

Free Luigi.

Fuck this aryan Pam bondi cunt and these prosecutors.

[-] VanillaFrosty@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm still waiting for people to get mad enough to use drones for political violence. Like shit, Ukraine can make an effective FPV for like 50 USD from what I've seen

Imagine if Luigi dropped a grenade on this dude while just sitting in Central Park.

It's gonna be a good time.

You know they'll disqualify anyone who might even hint at knowledge of jury nullification from the jury pool. They'll be selected on their ability to convict solely.

[-] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Thats why EVERYONE needs to know it. You can't disqualify everyone.

You want martyrs?? 'Cause that's how you get martyrs!

[-] RainbowHedgehog@50501.chat 41 points 1 week ago

Luigi Mangione has been the only thing uniting the left and right in the US. This is one of the few things that has managed to break through Fox News propaganda. Killing a legendary hero isn’t the win the GOP thinks it is.

Evidently Pam Bondi has financial lobbyist interests for the GEO group. They own a bunch of private prisons and mental health facilities.

I wonder if we could get creative to bring down the profits of this group in retaliation of her idiotic direction.

[-] obstructiveThoughts 12 points 6 days ago

That's fucked up that a prosecutor has lobbyist interests in private prisons.

[-] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

She’s an evil, soulless vessel of meat

[-] radiohead37@lemmy.world 62 points 1 week ago

I would love to be a juror in this case.

This administration is too stupid to realize they’re sitting on a powder keg? By all means light the match…..let’s see what happens

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 28 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

My current tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory is that’s exactly what they’re banking on. They’ll draw the trial out until right before the midterm election… Then Trump will use the resulting riots to declare martial law and cancel the upcoming midterms, so he doesn’t lose control of congress. After he has cancelled the election, he’ll make a final push to clean house, and will start ousting liberal congress members by accusing them of being riot conspirators.

The Mangione Riots will be Trump’s Reichstag Fire.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Not if y'all aren't bitches about it.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

It’s not that far fetched.

[-] Ksin@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago

That's seems pretty damn ballsy of them since unless they are extremely confident in the jury selection it's practically guaranteed to result in a hung jury if they know that finding him guilty will result in the most severe verdict.
