Donald Trump death penalty order sparks huge Luigi Mangione donation
A top donor to Luigi Mangione's legal defense fund mentioned President Donald Trump's executive order on the death penalty.
Trump freed 1500 criminals who wanted to kill elected officials in a terrorist-style seige of the capital.
But yeah, go punish a national hero.
Killing someone is exactly how you get a really fucking angry crowd who will remember his name seek revenge.
I think there's even a word for it. Let me go ask my friend Marty R.
If Luigi Mangione get killed he will live forever as a martyr of the workers. His name will forever be etched into history and a new wave of revolutions will arrive, a working class united against the rising tide of fascism.
You'd think Trump would be aware of the martyrdom argument. Maybe not.
Question: Will "The Government's most solemn responsibility is to protect its citizens from abhorrent acts" be on the gates to the concentration camps?
The wealthy will make an example out of him. Meanwhile, they will continue holding up Daniel Penny as the right kind of extrajudicial murderer.
Good. They should try to get the death penalty which will put the jury under the maximum pressure to nullify.
I wonder if some of the legal fund can be used for public service announcements to educate the public on jury nullification. IIRC judges don't like to hear that kinda talk in court.
I hope you're right, but would bet against nullification actually happening either way.
Even if they find him guilty, he could be pardoned after the revolution.
Im betting trump personally assigns Eileen Canon to this case to ensure democracy is 100% dead and no jury verdict will be allowed
Nullifying it federally doesn't matter if he gets life without parole in New York anyway.
If he's actually put to death, he'll become a martyr. Saint Luigi Mangione. If this doesn't spark a revolution, we're fucking toast. I hate this fucking timeline.
free luigi <3
This is so ridiculous. He killed a dude. That's worthy of the death penalty (not in Texas)!? People have done worse to many people, or children, or... and not been sentenced to death.
Even if you're 100% against murder in all circumstances and feel he should be locked up forever, you have to see this is just CEO's exercising their outsized influence to discourage further punishment of the 1% and corporate leaders that prey on Americans...
Trump himself and all of his rich friends on Epstein's island have done way worse than Luigi. At least I consider the systematic rape of children and human trafficking worse than killing a mass murderer.
The more that Trump floods the zone with bullshit, the more likely the defense can convince a judge that a fair trial is impossible.
They're not even going to pretend that people are equal. The Donvict, President Musk, and the MAGAstappo deeply believe that rich white men are worth more than anyone who isn't one of them, and will use the full force of the law as they interpret it to protect their interests.
Just you wait. They're going to push for laws specifically protecting what they'll call "High Value Citizens" or something to that effect. Give it time.
Murder is legal in self-defense or to save the live of another.
That's how you need to look at this.
Self-defense and defending another person are both defenses against a murder charge. Neither of those acts is in itself murder. Killing another person is homicide. For it to be murder, additional factors have to be considered.
Or killing OJ
I see this as "if I'm going to get the death penalty anyway, might as well take out as many of them as I can."
People kill people in war and they don't go to jail. Luigi fought for us in the war against abusive healthcare monopoly prices. He is a hero and should be freed.
His is a wonderful use case for jury nullification. Just remember never to use that term during deliberations. Just vote not guilty, and if pressed, say that the evidence doesn't support the charge. And say nothing more. Jurors are not obliged to explain their reasoning to the judge or to other jurors.
Luigi has become such an icon and crystallized so many frustrations that I'm hopeful his conviction will finally spark the rebellion this country desperately needs. Hopefully in time before it turns into a fully fledged dictatorship - so, pretty soon.
Trump, in an executive order: "The Government's most solemn responsibility is to protect its citizens from abhorrent acts, and my Administration will not tolerate efforts to stymie and eviscerate the laws that authorize capital punishment against those who commit horrible acts of violence against American citizens."
Abhorrent acts like denying over 1/4 of healthcare coverage claims? Abhorrent acts like demanding surgeons scrub out and immediately call back the insurer to justify the surgery that they were in the middle of performing?
No, of course not.
The other side of that coin is that capital punishment doesn't protect anyone from anything. In fact, it puts us all in more danger for a variety or reasons, including:
- The State can kill you with impunity if so desired
- Where capital punishment exists, people who commit crimes are more likely to escalate to more heinous acts in order to evade capture
capital punishment is only there to satiate conservative voters in the countries, they love this. otherwise the states wouldve all eliminated them already.
This shit comes from the same mouth that incited a fucking riot and tried to overthrow the government. Fuck this piece of dog shit.
By his own decree his 2020 administration should be facing capitol punishment for acts of federal agents in Portland and other cities during peaceful protests over unrest at the time.
1/3 which is much worst than 1/4 denial.
For science, here's the fund if you're curious...
I’m glad this turned out to be legit. I had wallet out on day one of this campaign.
It’s literally for science, considering the opposition.
Thanks. Donated.
Rich fucks are afraid he might go after them if he gets out of jail one day.
Even moreso, I think they're worried this will normalize violence against their class, so they want to make an example of him. One Luigi can be imprisoned or executed; a thousand Luigis is a bigger problem.
I like the sound of one thousand Luigis
Ironic point, given making a martyr of someone is a better way to galvanize supporters. Big reason we... er, people, haven't assassinated Trump.
they had to consistently astroturf him on MSMS and some anti-luigi comments on places like reddit to bring conservative back under thier fold, not even the grifters were fooling them at the time, it took like a month later to use one russian issued grifter, jack to do it.
Love it. He should go free.
President Donald Trump ordered the attorney general to pursue the death penalty "for all crimes of a severity demanding its use" in an executive order signed January 20. The order ended the moratorium on federal executions enacted by former President Joe Biden's administration.
He makes Luigi martyr.
