"in its most basic terms, this was a killing that was intended to evoke terror"
Who? Who was it to terrorize? Finish your sentence. Was it billionaires who steal money from hard working Americans then let them die from denied coverage? Was the answer?
was intended to evoke terror
So basically, the whole premise of the American death penalty? As opposed to the deaths and bankruptcies that create terror that health insurance companies are allowed to promote, or the terror created by those who arrest mothers getting their health insurance appeals denied because they echo their mottos back to them to attempt to suppress any popular support at a revolution?
I will say, with Trump getting voted in, Americans have shit timing at their attempts at revolutions. This is the last millisecond type of stuff, quite lacking and even somewhat (but not very) controversial.
It’s embarrassing that the murder of 1 CEO is a bigger news story than yet another school shooting.
It makes sense though. School schootings are depressing and happen all the time. The CEO murder was a breath of fresh air.
I didn’t even see it. I was told by someone. That’s how “normal” it is. Apparently it was a girl too, that’s rare. Not news worthy? Ffs.
I don't really keep up anymore and I heard about this fwiw. Haven't heard about Luigi nearly as much save for memes
Well, the judicial process is a lot slower than our desire for change. Events take weeks or months. Also, I’m sure the prosecution wants to give it time to die down. Hoping that the jury will soften up. If it were to be tried today, he has significantly more chance of winning.
In the nearly two weeks since Mr Thompson's killing, we have seen a shocking and appalling celebration of cold-blooded murder," Tisch said. "We don't celebrate murders and we don't lionise the killing of anyone."
Tisch is the NYPD commissioner, but more importantly here she is the daughter of a billion dollar "family" corporation CEO.

Eric Adams has been appointing her to the head of random city agencies for a couple years now, and I'm sure it's a coincidence he's under corruption charges and she is just that great
Fuck the CEO. Free Luigi!
Game Idea: Mario & Friends work together to free Luigi from the evil empire!
Don't fuck a corpse, that's nasty. Throw it into a landfill, then free Luigi!
Wait what?!?? I thought he was arrested for eating at McDonald's?!
For eating a succulent meal?
They knew their judo well.
Get your hand off my penis!
I didn't realize killing pond scum was a crime now. Home improvement stores are about to find themselves in deep shit.
It wasn't him.
I wasn't even thinking of them playing the terrorism card but here we are.
various charges, including first-degree murder, and two counts of second-degree murder
How does that work?
I get a lot of courtroom videos on my feed, and it seems any time someone shouts something aggressive they tack on a "terroristic threat" charge.
It's the new "3/5 Compromise": normal people are worth 1 person each, but CEOs are worth 3.
could they be trying to scare him with the amount of charges into accepting a plea deal. I doubt they want this going to trial.

* I have no confirmation that this is legit not some sort of fraud nor, if it is kegit, what percentage will go towards his legal fees. But I choose to believe that it is what it claims to be and nothing more.
I donated a while back. It has a lot of eyes, so I doubt it can get shady without a ton of noise. At this point it’s pretty safe—in my opinion only.
Don't lie to yourself.
It’s better than listening to you.
I propose a friendly wager
Ok
Do you know how many "bricks for the wall" for Mexico or whatever were sold? A lot
Actually, they went to jail and had to forfeit the money.
Good to hear! I thought they verbally cheated their way through
You’re not wrong, but they wouldn’t use bricks
Boo! 👎
