Doesn't NY not even have the death penalty?? And over a grievance killing? Theres absolutely no way they get a death penalty verdict. If they force a death penalty on him there will be actual riots. They didn't even give the Buffalo mass shooting perp a death penalty. He murdered 10 black people in a supermarket in a targeted mass shooting based on hate and he gets to rot in a cell the rest of his life. This is an outrage, a complete mockery of justice.

But were any of them ultra rich job creators? Checkmate /s

Federal charge doesn't care if he's in NY

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

The judiciary system is broken and corrupt AF, it itself is a mockery of justice.

[–] cybermass@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

There is no such thing as Justice, not until the people take it ourselves.

[–] pulaskiwasright@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

At least the CEO got the death penalty too. But his kill count was quite a bit higher than 1.

[–] Questy@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

This is how you can tell he wanted to make a statement, he went after a Rich. If he was just looking to murder without it being a big deal he could have just killed a few dozen school children.

Making him into a literal martyr does not seem wise

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They want to make him a martyr? Let's make him a saint. Saint Luigi of Baltimore.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Patron Saint of Adjustors.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah let's add religion into the mix, that never went wrong 👀

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They're trying to make a martyr out of him, aren't they?

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

No they are trying to make an example of him, but just like most aspects of life they are hilariously out of touch with reality

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago (1 children)

A penalty phase will drag out the trial. If NYC was smart, they'd give him a sweetheart plea just to get this man out of the news cycle.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They want this to drag out and make a production out of it to reassure their corporate donors that they have their backs.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I didn't say it was for no reason, just that it isn't smart.

[–] exploitedamerican@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

When have the right wing moron billionaires who run wallstreet, circularly own all the media outlets and have their grubby hands up the ass of every politician whos (~elected~) allowed to serve, ever decided to do what’s smart? They usually let things reach critical mass before allowing any half assed attempt to solve even part of the issue.

We storming the Bastille then?

From their armchair.

[–] DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 4 points 2 days ago

Just feels like we're at that point in history all over again

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

No luigi is!

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Hopefully people with terminal illnesses.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's one fucking CEO. Give him seven years. Suspended sentence.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Fuck no. break him out like Asatta.

Seems like a stretch to file a federal murder charge when it was really only the stalking that can be argued as "cross state". Isn't federal murder charge usually reserved for serial killers or killers that transport the body across state lines?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 2 days ago

Please don't Sacco/Vanzetti him
