Good luck finding a jury to convict him of jaywalking.
Some homicides are self defence.
The comparison is definitely stupid because this guy planned the whole thing! Its not like he accidentally started a rebellion in an accidentally treasonous way while trying to steal the office of a high government official. Everyone knows the punishment for that is …another 4 years of government.
Yes there are double standards but this is the wrong comparison to make that point.
Most school shooters are minors who are inelligible for the death penalty, and a large percentage don’t survive their own shooting. Either death by cop or suicide.
I have no love for insurance CEOs or our capital-first justice system, but if you’re gonna make a point don’t leave it open to be so easily picked apart.
Citation or GTFO
Of the adult school shooters, which is most of them anyway, try and find a handful.
Doesn’t make sense to compare a rate of an outcome (without even knowing how often that outcome was sought) with an individual attempt whose outcome is not even known yet.
When Mangione IS actually given the death penalty, this ‘argument’ will actually amount to something. Dumb until then.
We’re just going to ignore that school shooters are generally minors and thus not treated the same as adults? Okay then.
My personal tinfoil hat is that they are seeking the death penalty so he accepts a deal. They are scared of jury nullification.
That isn’t tinfoil-hat at all. I was reading a news story recently about how worried they are that they’ll have trouble finding impartial jurors, since there’s so much sympathy for him.
This is a dumb take. Since 2005 you cannot use capital punishment for minors see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roper_v._Simmons
Most school shooters are under 18, Luigi is 26.
Looking at this, the vast majority of them are adults: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States_by_death_toll
The far bigger reason is that most don’t survive to be prosecuted.
FFS, it’s not even him, people need to stop accepting he is the killer. He is not, news made sure that pics from the killing footage were buried so people would forgot them, because when you compare them with Luigi, its obviously NOT him… And there is no doubt here, killer is smaller, whiter (like Irish white), slim eyebrows, and less muscle body shape than Luigi.
Why do people try to make him a martyr, when it is not even the killer.
If he isn’t the killer, why did he have the same gun as the killer and a notebook detailing who he was going to kill and how he was going to do it?
Because he is a patsy.

I do believe it would be a tactical error on their part to give him the death penalty… make a real martyr
This you shall offer in the morning and this you shall offer at twilight, a lamb without blemish.
I love bow this meme gets fact checked and the thesis get tighter.
Brian Thompson is a parasite, no empathy for them
Land of Double Standards.
Pulling an excerpt from George Carlin: “Politicians hide behind three things in this country: The Flag, The Bible and Children. No child left behind! It wasn’t long ago you were talking about giving children a headstart. Headstart, Left Behind. Someone’s losing fucking ground here.”
The spoke the truth mapr of us were to young to understand but how did boomers miss these money shots.
They were the audience
Haha funny man is funny. Ooo my 401k is growing, line go up. What’s on TV?
Not that it would have made a difference but as far as I know there was no call to action from Carlin. Without that many people just say yup, that’s life, and keep their head down.
US citizens, are you planning to protest?
When we have protests large enough to get noticed, we get attacked by the police. Why should the protesters have to suffer? Make the oppressors suffer instead.
How
We have the Russian “and then it got worse” do nothing attitude. We aren’t even gonna try to do anything till its far too late.
Protests within US are limited to major cities otherwise logistics are fucked due to suburb lay out of the most of the country.
Also, most of are just too docile, it ain’t an issue I til they personally get fucked.
That’s their point: America never does anything. People love to act like they stand for something, but cower at the slightest consequence or inconvenience.
I wonder why executioners don’t get doxxed.
