It’s been pretty clear for sometime that in the US laws don’t apply equally to everyone.
There were two immigrant teenagers murdered in NYC the same day as Thompson. Nobody cared in the slightest.
Obviously not. As we've already ascertained from OP, one murder of a rich is worth more than 23 murders of non-white commoners. A mere 2 non-citizen commoners isn't going to make them blink an eye.
And just think of the media circus if the world didn't like and support Luigi the more they hear about him, they tried a blitz at first and it just helped Luigis popularity.. so this is the silent mode.
Serial killers like Ted Bundy, state charges. Even though he crossed several states. Yet this has federal charges for some reason.
"For some reason". I'd go with "For removing a useful tool of the Oligarchs"
They should. But when the Supreme Court is corrupt, this is what happens.
It's all courts, let's not pretend it was different for most people 10 years ago.
But the Supreme Courts dictate lower courts
Yes I know, but (1) most lower court actions and decisions are never reviewed by SCOTUS and (2) it's not like the lower courts were doing great and every once in a while SCOTUS overturned them. This has long, long been a been a very consistent and pervasive problem in the federal courts. It's not as simple as "SCOTUS pulls the strings of the lower courts," quite far from it.
I didn't say they pull the strings. I said they dictate it. They set precedence. Which is huge in the interpretation of law.
Circa 1776, more specifically.
