Attorney General Pam Bondi directs prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione

For a second I was going to say it's like they're trying to make us hate them more somehow. Then I realized, yeah, that's probably exactly what they're trying to do. Antagonizing people into violence is the goal.

I'm not sure if it's to use it as an excuse to declare martial law, or kick off a civil war, or both? Idk I guess I've just been around enough passive aggressive pieces of shit in the past to recognize it when I see it.

He’s never getting out, and I’m sure he knows it. He carried his manifesto for days. He wants to make a statement.

Kill him and see what that gets the government. Middle aged white women are paying attention.

What’s blondie talking about? Luigi didn’t kill the pos billionaire. The gun did.

Pam Bondi should get the same sentence for Treason to America

Why arent they seeking it for the dude who stabbed the Cashapp CEO numerous times

Dig two graves Ms. Bondi.

Can't say it on Reddit, but I hope that they can't find a jury who would convict him.

Pam bondi can suck an egg

Kill 24 normal citizens in a mass shooting in a Walmart, plea deal. Allegedly Kill 1 billionaire, death penalty

Fuck you, Pam Bondi.

We all now know for sure what scares them.

The death of one, a tragedy. The death of millions, statistics.

hmm so death is an appropriate consequence for killing people, huh. so she's admitting that Luigi allegedly delivered justice, actually.

I think it's inappropriate for a lawyer to use stage names though. I mean, Pam Bondi? come on.

I'm sure this kind of thing is what occupies the broligarchs' brains at least 90% of the time...

If we live in a country where a child can get ran over or shot every day and nobody gets prison time for it, we can set a man free who kills a serial killer that preys on the poor and injured for profit.

A man killed a man that was killing thousands of men.

So, we should kill him!

Are they not vindicating Luigi by wanting this?

This has a potentially significant chance of backfiring, as it is more difficult to get a jury to convict when the death penalty is at stake.

So they basically admit it is about revenge, not justice? How dare someone of the working class attack someone clearly superior! We must punish this worthless creature to put them into their rightful place at the bottom of the taxpaying pyramid!

He should have used a car to run him down.

They’re sitting on a working class revolt powder keg and they just lit the match ….lol

Protect him at all costs!

The “pro-life” party really loves the death penalty…

How to make a martyr in 180 days?

It's really crazy we are literally living in a new type of world.

The wealthy ARE the powerful, but the rest of us out number them to such grand extent that the only way they can remain wealthy is through fear and murder.

There is no war but class war.

If everything is the death penalty we might as well do everything.

He should run for congress because there are no consequences for crime if you get elected before the justice system has time to convict

Finally. Justice will be served for the good of all.

Whenever I think of the Dylan Roof incident.

The death penalty isn't a punishment, who really learns from it, the criminal? It's a tool for society to remove what amounts to a defective person (not human, person). People are supposed to value the lives of other people by default. Any sustained deviation from this norm is a symptom of a person who cannot value life.

Dylan Roof was given 1000s of opportunities to demonstrate that he did actually value life but because of his defective nature there was no choose but to remove him.

"Life in prison" can be canceled/pardoned/changed, death cannot. That is why it's near impossible to make it happen and even if it does,, people spend the rest of their lives waiting for their "execution" (ftr Dylan is still alive at this time source).

Now in what possible world would you be able to convince a jury of random peers, or judges with their heads actually screwed on tight, that a sample size of one murder proves that a person is defective.

Genuine responses only:

So they want to create another merteur. Okay. Lets see how that will turn out

Higher burden of proof on a case that already has improperly collected evidence? Sure thing, go ahead and virtue signal to the right that you're still the party of law and order. The billionaires should still be scared after reading this.

That corrupt piece of shit that dropped the trump University case for fifty bucks and a case of Boone's Farm wants the DoJ to pursue the death penalty for a homicide. Sure. Best timeline ever.

You want a riot? Cause your gonna get one.

Reminder: New York doesn't have a Death Penalty on the books

how to make a martyr

funny thing luigi was originally a right winger before he shot the guy, guess the msm arnt going to reveal that fact that he was originally one of thier own.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat noooooooooooo, that can't be right. Who other than every single person alive saw that coming?

Hopefully, they will televise it and trump will say "You're fired" right before they pull the switch. That would be on par with the shitshow circus we live in these days.

Edit: added to the bit

Oh that piece of shit, does she not understand this will make matters worse?

She will turn him into a martyr, this administration is the dumbest I have seen in my whole fucking life.

It's my understanding that this will make it far more difficult for them to get a conviction/verdict. Going for the death penalty has certain bars to hit during a trial by jury. It's often why prosecutors go after lesser sentences on things people absolutely did the worse versions of. This gives them a much more likely guilty verdict from a jury.

By doing this, they're basically torpedoing the case, as I understand it.

Purely to try and scare people/send a message.

When he's rendered a verdict of not-guilty for the crimes that would lead to the death penalty, but is guilty of something relatively trivial, like "owning an unregistered firearm", this could come back to bite them in the ass.

But who knows. I've been hoping for the judicial system to bite the ass of fascists for almost a decade now, without much luck.

The guy who deserved the DP got it.

Oh just like how the American private health insurer confidence scheme seeks the death penalty when their customers marks actually need life saving healthcare and become a threat to the capitalist's quarterly metastasis expectations.

Neat.

There is no getting out of this fascist hellhole without mass protest, but if the ruling class wants to turn that into riots against the rich, ok then.

Called it weeks ago. He'll be long dead before then though. Almost certainly due to a prison shank. Mmw.

I wonder if these maga fuckheads have mirrors at home.

This you shall offer in the morning and this you shall offer in the evening, one lamb without blemish.

Oh hell no
