Multiple Department of Justice employees "may have violated" Luigi Mangione's right to a fair trial through public comments and social media posts, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday -- and it could end up swaying the judge to grant a defense motion to take the death penalty off the table.
This particular murder is a challenge to the rule of law as a basic principle in a way that, for example, multiple murders by a serial killer are not. The serial killer does more direct harm, but IMO this murder requires more forceful repudiation by society.
This particular murder is a challenge more to the system of control than to the rule of law. It’s not society but the oligarchy who believe it requires a more forceful repudiation. Otherwise power might start to shift out of their hands and back to the people.
What do we do about the murder of thousands by using AI to refuse medical care, and instead funnel the profits to shareholder portfolios?
Username checks out.
Arbitrary benchmarks.
The tag I gave you months ago checks out.
Nice, now I kind of wish you could see what other people have tagged users as. Except for the rampant abuse that would proliferate from that capability.
Why I think we should give this man a trophy and a lifetime supply of chocolate. Anybody that kills the Nazi should be given the same treatment that our world war II soldiers were given. Fucking ticker tape parade for this motherfucker.
This feels like something you’d enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyR8XgrwE4w
I don’t know if they did, but I sure did. That was fantastic.
If that is your take then you are a monster. A sociopathic monster.
The CEO in question was directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of people through sheer greed.
You are not a human being.
Maybe if the rule of law was doing it’s fucking job and punishing these insurance bastards like they deserve randos wouldn’t have to gun them down in the street. Society should be grateful SOMEONE did something about it.
From what I’ve been hearing, society IS grateful.
Just not the billionaires, and the media they control is how they voice it.
And what exactly makes this one worse than others?
The victim being rich and powerful, unlike most murder victims?
The victim belonging to a group of people very lucrative to the powers that be?
The fact that your favorite authoritarian politicians and talking heads said so on tv?
The aggravating factor is not the identity of the victim but rather the intent of the murderer. There have already been two more murders inspired at least partially by the murder of Brian Thompson (at least to the extent that the killers also wrote messages on the shell casings). If the rule of law is to be preserved, then it must be made clear that those who try to use violence as a tool for extralegal social change will not succeed, and that they will be punished severely.
Talk to your buddy trump about respecting the rule of law. Also, violence is inherent with government, what the fuck are you talking about?
Do you think not respecting Hebeas Corpus is not violent? How about putting hard-working innocent people in chains and sending them to concentration camps?
You have serious issues.
I guess it makes sense. A principled murder needs harsher punishment than even a serial killer… That’s the theory anyway.
