For information purposes, Luigi pled not guilty.
“They’re putting all of this effort and the death penalty behind one person who allegedly killed one CEO who is responsible and profiting off of the death of thousands upon thousands of sick people and bringing people into financial ruin as well as death,” said Tilly, a Mangione supporter wearing a lime green jacket and light green sunglasses. “They do not put this same effort behind, say, school shooters or people who shoot up concerts.”
“It shows that the state has more care for the uber-wealthy and the CEOs that are profiting off of people’s death and pain than they do for the people.”
Ugh, I hate that they put the stupidest arguments front and center in stories like this.
Yeah no shit, because mass shooters generally don’t survive their attacks. The similarities between a mass shooting and the shooting of one person are few and far between - the motive, execution, and follow-up investigations are wildly different in each scenario.
I get wanting to support Luigi, but disingenuous comparisons like that aren’t doing him any favors.
Enough do survive that there is plenty basis for comparison.
Logic none, boots fully licked, full name chozo the clown.
What part of what I said was boot licking? Or are you just as braindead as the people that do interviews for CNN and just use that phrase for anything you don’t understand?
Almost as braindead as the people who say CNN and interviews and phrases as a response. Maybe I could understand you if you removed that heel from your mouth.
What?
When’s the last time a school shooter (that made it to trial, obviously), got slapped with terrorism charges, had the prosecution seek the death penalty, or get prevented from accessing their family/lawyers for extended periods?
I agree, there are few similarities between the two crimes. I would say shooting up a building full of innocent children, particularly when death is involved, is a significantly worse crime than killing a single man. Yet the sought punishments are wildly disproportionate in the opposite direction.
When’s the last time a school shooting fit the required legal definition for terrorism? They’re completely different scenarios with different motives, you may as well be asking “When’s the last time the Hamburglar was charged with terrorism?”
To give a huge benefit of the doubt, we haven’t had fascism times for these school shooters.
If a shooter makes it to arrangement today, I would expect fascism to make an example out of them as well and slap terrorism charges.
The analogy, while clumsy, is still accurate: the rules for us do not apply to the rich and powerful.
For fuck says we have a convicted felon as president and at his sentencing the judge said, “Uh, woopsie! Guess the jury was wrong. Go about your life, dear rich citizen.”
but we have had a school shooting recently, Trump said “these things happen” about it.
that’s it. that’s what the fascists say about us dying. they ONLY care about the rich.
Are you sure they won’t just be offered a job at the whitehouse? All they’ve gotta do is say they love Trump and he’ll sign a pardon after all.
I notice a shocking similarity with how they treat whistleblowers though.
I’m amazed this had to be explained
Past 9 years has shown me to not take any information for granted.
