Trumps agenda? Hah.

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 31 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They can’t even prove he did it

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Nobody did it, the guys head just did that.

[–] lumony@lemmings.world 6 points 6 days ago

"Based on the evidence, I do not believe the accused is guilty."

That's all that needs to be said.

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Exactly, he had spontaneous lead spawn pop up inside him. Happens every day to assholes

There’s a guy who killed 23 people in a Walmart in El Passo in 2022. Got charged with hate crimes on account of…he’s openly racist and said that’s why he did it.

That guy just got a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.

Nobody should identify the criminal justice system in America as anything else but a mechanism for protecting the rich.

[–] Mavytan@feddit.nl 20 points 6 days ago

They wanna make martyrs now?

[–] KarlHungus42@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Seems very short-sighted on their part. They’ve made the penalty for taking out 1 the same as taking out 100. They’ve also highlighted the disparity between punishments for crimes against average people vs the rich and powerful.

Bizzare. Americans are seriously crazy. It's a monarchy really, it's so in your face, like a bad comedy.

[–] lumony@lemmings.world 1 points 6 days ago

It’s a monarchy really

All nations are, when you get down to it.

[–] Houseman@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We are dumb and crazy a bad mix.

But what if he runs for office? Then he can't be convicted, right?

Maybe we should put the prosecutors to death instead.

[–] lumony@lemmings.world 3 points 6 days ago

Best way to honor Luigi would be to keep killing rich people.

It needs to become a tiktok trend.

[–] O_R_I_O_N@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

Storm the Bastille

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 120 points 1 week ago (14 children)

Obligatory, I do not condone violence per lemmys rules, or whatever.

Agreed. This might be the only method to save us. Rule of law doesn't work, we are owned by the billionaire class. Bring out the guillotines for these bootlickers. Might be the only way we get free.

Free Luigi.

Fuck this aryan Pam bondi cunt and these prosecutors.

[–] VanillaFrosty@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (8 children)

I'm still waiting for people to get mad enough to use drones for political violence. Like shit, Ukraine can make an effective FPV for like 50 USD from what I've seen

Imagine if Luigi dropped a grenade on this dude while just sitting in Central Park.

It's gonna be a good time.

You want martyrs?? 'Cause that's how you get martyrs!

Luigi Mangione has been the only thing uniting the left and right in the US. This is one of the few things that has managed to break through Fox News propaganda. Killing a legendary hero isn’t the win the GOP thinks it is.

[–] lumony@lemmings.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The left and right really need to understand priorities.

It's fine to disagree on culture war bullshit, but let's put our differences aside and focus on the common enemy first.

I would love to be a juror in this case.

Evidently Pam Bondi has financial lobbyist interests for the GEO group. They own a bunch of private prisons and mental health facilities.

I wonder if we could get creative to bring down the profits of this group in retaliation of her idiotic direction.

[–] obstructiveThoughts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's fucked up that a prosecutor has lobbyist interests in private prisons.

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

She’s an evil, soulless vessel of meat

This administration is too stupid to realize they’re sitting on a powder keg? By all means light the match…..let’s see what happens

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 27 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

My current tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory is that’s exactly what they’re banking on. They’ll draw the trial out until right before the midterm election… Then Trump will use the resulting riots to declare martial law and cancel the upcoming midterms, so he doesn’t lose control of congress. After he has cancelled the election, he’ll make a final push to clean house, and will start ousting liberal congress members by accusing them of being riot conspirators.

The Mangione Riots will be Trump’s Reichstag Fire.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Not if y'all aren't bitches about it.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

It’s not that far fetched.

[–] lumony@lemmings.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Incels should honestly be targeting country clubs instead of elementary schools.

The ruling class plays a much bigger role in why they're incels than school students do.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

They’re not smart people. This would require the ability to critically think and reason with facts. They’re brainwashed by the billionaire backed right wing propaganda machine. Women/brown people=bad. Billionaires/White Men =good

[–] Ksin@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That's seems pretty damn ballsy of them since unless they are extremely confident in the jury selection it's practically guaranteed to result in a hung jury if they know that finding him guilty will result in the most severe verdict.
