Time to make sure everyone in America understands what jury nullification is.
The people I heard about jury nullification from was the libertarians. So this is quite interesting to see.
It would be interesting to see this take the direction of "Jury Nullification of CEO Assassin trial > Supreme Court makes Jury Nullification no longer a thing, letting Judges dismiss it and make the decision themselves > CEO Assassin is retrialed and executed"
Especially the reaction afterwards would be interesting.
The reaction afterwards is really boring, trust me.
God its so good this isnt .world or you would be banned for life now.
Luigi Mangione was taken into custody at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania. CNN quoted law enforcement sources as saying a document seized off of him reads, "These parasites had it coming."
Another comment in the document read, "I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done."
Not a lawyer, but isn't this circumstantial at best? Unless there's more to the document than this.
There were other things on him, like the fake id the used to stay at a hostel and a gun.
No engraved bullets?
Is there a legal defense fund that I can contribute to yet?
Gofundme, for profit site, took it down.
Surprise, surprise.
May it be boycotted forever.
We need some public version of Gofundme
Could just mail a check
To who? Who manages it? How does the word get out?
Who sets up the GoFundMe campaign? Who manages that? How do they advertise it?
Answer my questions and you have the answers to yours
The answer to your second two questions is gofundme
Really? GoFundMe posts the link on social media?
Did this guy want to be caught? Walking around with incriminating objects, walking into a McDonalds instead of laying low.
I dunno, seems kind of convenient doesn't it?
Its like the guy they caught is just a normal dude taking the fall. We cant put it past the adjuster, seems smart, but is also very cute, so might get away with it.
Prolly wants that free prison healthcare.
HIS NAME WAS LUIGI MANGIONE!!!
i only know of 2 Mangiones, one plays the flugelhorn; the other, the silencer
Luigi the Flugelhornless
luigi. The man they called, luigi!
From wired
On X, what appears to be his account featured an image of what looks to be an X-ray following major spinal cord surgery, one of the few explicit references to health care in his online account history.
A GoodReads account featuring a photo of the suspect that also shares a username with an email address and GitHub account linked to Mangione includes several books related to back pain, including Crooked: Outwitting the Back Pain Industry and Getting on the Road to Recovery.
Thanks for sharing that. He sounds so normal and relatable. I wish the best for him.
Lol, they are throwing thr first guy that looks remotely close to the shooter behind bars to take a victory lap. Typical police.
I think the elites changed the words from "have" to "had" ;)
No lie detected
They're right the parasite CEO had it... Oh, they meant the suspect. #ACAB
