Something tells me that Trump will soon be pardoning everyone accused of a hate crime. But only the white on nonwhite kind. He might even go so far as to demand the release of Alexandre Bissonnette from Canada and grant him American citizenship. Bissonnette was the Quebec City Mosque shooter in 2017 who shot 7 Muslims dead in Quebec. He is a Canadian born Canadian citizen. He was inspired to do primarily by Ben Shapiro.
I'm certainly not the 1st, or thousandth person to say it....we have a legal system, not a justice system. Luigi showed us all a flash of a justice system.
"Montoya (DA) said he supports the death penalty and believes Crusius deserves it. But he said he met with the families of the victims and while some were willing to wait as long as it took for a death sentence, there was an overriding desire to conclude the process."

This is the problem
You can throw a man that pleads guilty in jail for 90 consecutive life sentences and be "over"
Now, to see if he really did it and deserves the death penalty...yeah going to have to take a lot longer to just make sure....
They really needed him to confess to killing 23 people in public under CCTV cameras, it would have been dozens of people's words against his and the only hard evidence HD video of it happening! How else could they have won the case?
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.
The parents I no longer speak to probably have around 1mil if you include real estate. The fact that they think "tax the rich" applies to them in any actual life changing way is a laughable mindset that actual billionaires use to keep the upper-middle class in line / helping them oppress the rest of us. We'll need to break that mindset to fully dismantle this shit since they comprise a large number of local low-level bureaucrats. If you don't either figure out how to get them on your side or come up with suitable replacements (harder than you'd think) it's actually quite difficult to create any kind of functional new social system, which generally just leaves a power vacuum open for either more or continued dumbfuckery.
Real estate is ALWAYS part of wealth. Most people want to tax wealth starting at 500k, so your parents will pay it 100%. But here's a trick, wealth estimations will be done by the government on an annual basis and will change based on who's in charge. One year you might have 1m wealth and next year you might have 2m out of thin air. Because wealth is not money, it's an imaginary number.
P.S. And it's more like your parents don't speak to you, because you are a 13yo kid in an adult body.
UH CEO was provably guilty of deep evil and harm against millions of Americans. El Paso Walmart shoppers not at all. Even the premise that they as a race are somehow bad for America is highly suspect. Among the murdered, only 8 were Mexican. 13 Americans and a German. The political terrorism charge that applies to UH CEO, applies way more to this murder. 50/50 there's a pardon, and new GOP speaking tour.
Ugh, for somebody from Europe to visit the states and then get gunned down in a mass shooting at a Walmart, could there be a more stereotypical “experience America” than that?
To play Devil’s advocate, the bottom one was offered a plea deal.
That's kinda the point. Why wasn't Mangione offered a plea deal?
Also, why did the DOJ intervene and add the federal qualifier of "murder in furtherance of an act of terrorism" to Mangione's charges in order to put the death penalty on the table (NY state doesn't have the death penalty), but didn't add it to the charges of the guy who murdered 23 Hispanic people specifically to terrorize the Hispanic community?
Plea deals are not unusual. It speeds up the process. Plus, not everyone approves of the death penalty, so a DA securing a plea deal by taking death off the table can even be favourable to some people.
