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.
They can’t even prove he did it
Nobody did it, the guys head just did that.
Exactly, he had spontaneous lead spawn pop up inside him. Happens every day to assholes
But what if he runs for office? Then he can’t be convicted, right?
Bizzare. Americans are seriously crazy. It’s a monarchy really, it’s so in your face, like a bad comedy.
We are dumb and crazy a bad mix.
Way to downplay what’s at stake, it’s sadistic, psychopathic and cruel.
It’s a monarchy really
Yes, this is actually a much more helpful way to think about Trump’s approach to presidency. Here is Dr David Smith from the United States Studies Centre explaining this in a recent episode of PEP (excellent in-depth American politics podcast from Australia).
No, it’s just that the south hates everything about the rest of America, and have done since we took their slaves away
They support anything that hurts everyone else, or as they call it: ‘Owning the libs’.

Everyone should read about jury nullification and spread it everywhere.
You know they’ll disqualify anyone who might even hint at knowledge of jury nullification from the jury pool. They’ll be selected on their ability to convict solely.
Thats why EVERYONE needs to know it. You can’t disqualify everyone.
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
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.
Not if y’all aren’t bitches about it.
It’s not that far fetched.
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.
I’m sure that will be as corrupt as everything else this administration touches
Federal juries are way, way easier to tilt towards the prosecution, and the judge has far more power, even assuming he isn’t a Trump appointee.
I would love to be a juror in this case.
Same
They are going to give him a laptop, right?!?
Can’t wait to passively observe this so go down.
