I don't feel terrorized. Wonder who does

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 4 points 2 hours ago

Ruthless CEOs and other greedy, rich scumbags, of course.

[–] PiratePanPan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 hours ago

See, his mistake was not killing him during a Career Day at an elementary school. If he took out kids as well, he wouldn't get a terrorism charge.

[–] Jamablaya@lemmy.today 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I just hope there's people around smart enough and willing to lie, when asked in jury selection interviews, that they've never heard of jury nullification. I doubt they ask that in those words, because people would go look it up, but I'm sure they have a roundabout way of getting to that answer.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The degree to which the jury pool is going to be stacked with people tied to the finance and insurance industry is going to send eyebrows through the ceiling.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

True, even though it's supposed to be a jury of the defendant's peers, not a jury of the victim's peers.

[–] brlemworld@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It isn't settled though. Innocent until proven guilty.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 8 points 6 hours ago

Correct. I meant the debate about whether Italians are white is settled.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 32 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

CEO's: Second degree murder is the highest you can charge him with for killing a CEO in NY? But we want to torture him and make an example of him so the proles don't get uppity!

DA: No problem sirs, we can make that happen.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

It's been curious to see the number of major media pundits doing the "Wonder how long his pretty little face will last in prison?" jokes while his fellow inmates are vocally supporting him

Really lets you know which side everyone is lining up on.

Honestly, this applies to all of us (replace pheasant and wine with whatever you can afford)

Eat your chickie nuggies, drink your honey mussy....

ProfanityFuck your girlfriend right in the pussy

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 8 hours ago

All Americans are equals. But some are more equals than others.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 21 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

Is there any chance that the terrorism charge is so ridiculous that it actually strengthens Luigi's case and makes his defense better?

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Man, if the fact that Luigi, the smiling man, and the actual shooter are visibly three different people isn't enough of a defense, nothing is. The ruling class wants to see someone punished for this crime, and rule of law bends to their will. He will be sentenced to life in prison or death by the end of this month, mark my words.

[–] Earflap@reddthat.com 3 points 2 hours ago

I don't think it will be that fast but yes I think there will be no other outcome.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 18 points 8 hours ago

Yes because it specifically allows examining his motive from a political angle which allows the defense to question the character of the guy he shot, which increases the chance of nullification.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 10 points 9 hours ago

Depends on how brain rotted the jury is

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

who knows at this point. you should ask all the other Americans who were charged with terrorism when they get out of jail.

[–] Tgo_up@lemm.ee 126 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

How tf can killing a single person with a handgun be classified as terrorism?

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 88 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Because they don't like him.

I mean Dylan fucking Roof shot dead 9 black people and they didn't consider it terrorism.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Dylan Roof did get charged with hate crimes and was convicted on all 33 counts, leading to a death sentence. Stacking terrorism charges on top of that would have been pointless.

Mangione, by contrast, is getting charged in a state without capital punishment. You need the terror charge to make this a First Degree Murder case. Otherwise he's looking at parole after 15 years.

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 112 points 14 hours ago

Because the ruling class is terrified

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 62 points 14 hours ago

"They're making us CEO's afraid, terrified even, so he's clearly a terrorist. The implication that the working class could actually fight back against the systemic oppression we inflict on them? That's horrifying. We can't allow them to believe they could ever fight back. Make an example of this person."

The rich assholes or something

[–] mrslt@lemmy.world 34 points 14 hours ago

Crimes against the ruling class are more harshly punished than crimes against the plebs.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 46 points 14 hours ago (9 children)

the definition of terrorism from the FBI is very... vague

Here's an exerpt from the declaration of Independence :3

[–] Baguette@lemm.ee 5 points 10 hours ago

I didn't know Miku was a textbook definition of a terrorist /s

It's more of an assassination in my opinion.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

"I learned it from watching you, ok?!?!?"

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 124 points 18 hours ago (6 children)

The dead guy was the terrorist.
