Attorney General Pam Bondi is directing federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione if he is convicted of the murder of CEO Brian Thompson.
So riddle me this.
Inner City, poor area, 2:00 a.m.
One gang member approaches another rival gang member, pulls out an illegally modified full auto pistol, dumps an entire 30 round magazine into him.
Does he get the death penalty?
JUST because he’s black?
He would be harshly investigated by internal affairs and severely punished with a 30-day paid suspension.
Not saying it’s like that everywhere, but it seems to happen like that an awful lot :-(
Oh for sure I agree.
I was just trying to point out the hypocrisy of jailing the gangbanger or letting him go versus throwing the book at Luigi and trying to execute him.
Exactly! So we throw him in a for-profit prison, where he is essentially a caged animal made to fight with the other caged animals.
After a decade or two we put him out on parole with no marketable skills and a felony conviction to ensure nobody will hire him.
Then we act confused about why recidivism rates are high.
Like the border wall, regardless of all the noise about it being needed, but the weakest parts are intentionally left in the harshest areas of the desert. Don’t need to worry about a corpse getting welfare.

A cop shoots a black guy, because he’s black, what does he get?

Nobody should ever get the death penalty. Capital murder is a symptom of a fucked up society.
Death By Hanging (1968)

Haha no. See they are both poor and we would rather have prison cattle than true justice.

Sorry kid, system is working as designed.
