Current Events > Do you support Luigi Mangione in his upcoming trial?

(+) Yeah! (+)

The media's wealthy owners have saturated the airwaves and social media with their already-decided verdict of "guilty." How effective that will be is anyone's guess.

Originally no, murder is murder, send him to jail, but the more the state overreacts, the more I want him acquitted.

He presumably killed a man in cold blood and as an adult he should take responsibility for his actions.

They are calling the act of one murder to a random guy terrorism, this is a level beyond just taking responsibility. He might get the death penalty, meanwhile some guy could murder his wife and kids in cold blood and get less.

Most people think he did something wrong, the question is how much punishment should he get.

People were celebrating how he was striking a blow against the wealthy, putting fear into the hearts of CEOs and wielding violence for political ends. If he was doing that, then a terrorism charge isn't out of sorts.

I'm not arguing one way or the other what the charges should be. I'm saying he killed a man in cold blood. He committed murder and needs to answer for that.

Only if the jury agrees.

if you feel like they did something wrong, then bring your evidence to the police and make the case through the courts.

lol

whereas i don't have a whole lot of sympathy towards the dude that he murdered, but murder is murder and he needs to do the time.

you don't get to murder somebody just because you don't like them or you don't like the industry that they work in. if you feel like they did something wrong, then bring your evidence to the police and make the case through the courts.

the CEO has already been replaced, probably by some other rich elite guy, and the killer will likely spend the rest of his life in prison, so what exactly did his vigilante justice accomplish?

he shouldn't have done that. it was the wrong thing to do.

Huh, that CEO got his murder company to murder a whole lot more people than they used to while he was in charge and no officials are concerned about it.

So what happened to "murder is murder"? Or do you just not care about institutional violence and pretend the things you can't see don't exist?

or, you could just you know, murder the guy in cold blood and see what happens. wouldn't recommend it. especially if it's against a member of law enforcement or the judicial system, a politician, a celebrity, or a rich dude with lots of money. then you know you're getting the book thrown at you.

but hey, life goes on. the company has a new CEO and they will carry on business as usual screwing over the american people in an industry that is designed to screw over the american people, and the murderer will likely never see the outsides of a prison. so what exactly did this whole thing accomplish?

the dude could be spending some time with his family through the holidays but instead he chose to throw his life away. the guy he murdered doesn't even get to go home. and the poor citizens will continue to get screwed over with their health care. none of this changes anything. it was just a sad waste of life.

i don't understand how this murderer obtained such a cult following all of a sudden. the dude murdered a guy in cold blood on the streets. there is no justification for that, as you will see when he gets handed down his prison and or death sentence.

the terrorism charges may be a little over the top but i guess thats the difference between murdering a common folk and murdering a rich executive.

Not necessarily, but it is a fact that the guy he killed is indirectly responsible for the deaths of far more people through his penny-pinching, and the way the media and the powers-that-be have been reacting to this is leaving a very bad taste in my mouth.

adding to this, you know the media would've been very different if the guy Luigi murdered was say, a migrant who wasn't speaking English.

which I mention because exactly that happened the same day and that was out of the news in the same day. A thousand poor people can die and the media doesn't care. One rich guy causes them to lose their fucking minds.

if you feel like they did something wrong, then bring your evidence to the police and make the case through the courts.

for what it's worth, there are far more average people than CEOs, if they trade 1 for 1 eventually they will not be able to "carry on business as usual"

i'm not aware that he committed any horrific crimes, but all i was saying is that if he did, then that's when you bring the evidence to authorities

Are you literally copypasting this shit from somewhere and forgot to proofread?

besides, i don't want to spend christmas day, a day devoted to the birth of jesus christ, trying to come up with reasons why it should be acceptable to take a gun and take somebody elses life, when murder is illegal in every country in the world.

Nobody asked you to, so that's nice.
