The world needs many more Luigi’s.

Luigi’s what?
Luigi’s Mansion.

It’s a cost many of us are willing to pay, they are killing us anyways, only slowly.
This is the realization that will require far more people to suffer before they will act.
Yeah if I were on that jury, it would be jury nullification all the way. Can’t have the government killing a guy for political reasons, and that’s what this is.
Jury null requires EVERYONE on the jury to agree Not Guilty, there are plenty of sleepwalker who believe the TV narrative about basically everything, Luigi included. Won’t be hard to find at least one
Edit: jury nullification IS NOT the same thing as a hung jury. The former is final. The latter means a new trial with a new jury.

I have a family member like that. They’re not religious of any kind, worked with fine electronics in factory, etc. and is by no means stupid. Earlier this year they started ranting about children supporting terrorism and no one understood what was going on. Until they revealed that some kids had written “Stop killing children” with chalk on the sidewalk. All because of TV news with anchors and all that. Not even some far right or conservative channel, just traditional and usually pretty neutral news. But they leave out 90% of what is going on.
I’ve read this twice but are they saying that writing stop killing children is supporting terrorism?
Here’s my best guess on the chain of logic:
Stop killing children -> Stop killing Palestinian children -> Stop Israel’s war on Palestine -> Not supporting Israel -> Supporting Palestine -> Supporting Hamas -> Supporting Terrorism
It’s about 15 too many conclusions to jump to but I’ve seen people do it. A lot.
That’s a very common chain of thinking for people with poor Critical Thinking Skills.

A hung jury is better than a hanging.
A single juror can result in a hung jury.
A hung jury is no verdict at all. Its just means another trial with a new jury until a verdict is reached.
Luigi will be paraded in his jumpsuit until he is formally jailed or dies. Anything else requires everybody to agree on Not Guilty, and that’s astronomically unlikely given the volume of lobbying against him.
Whether or not he did it isn’t even relevant anymore. It’s whether the common folk of a jury think he did, and both supporters and detractors of ‘The Adjustor’ consider that to be Luigi. His identity is so entangled in the public consciousness that the only way out is nullification, and prosecution is unlikely to allow such a jury to form.
A new trial isn’t automatic. Many Hung Juries are never tried again, because often the District Attorney has no reason to believe that the outcome will be any different in another expensive trial.
A hung jury in Luigi’s case would definitely be re-tried, over and over, if necessary, but after 3 or 4 hung juries, they’d probably finally give up, and blame liberals.
In addition to what the other comment said, the prosecution can try the case an unlimited number of tines unless a judge gets tired of it ans dismisses the case with cause.
No, that is WRONG. It only requires ONE juror to refuse to vote Guilty, and it’s a Hung Jury.
Hung jury =/= jury nullification.
So they believe that a person should die for killing a CEO, one person, but the CEO who created an AI specifically to deny claims resulting in many painful deaths didn’t? suuuure. this totally isn’t a revealing kneejerk reaction from elites pissing their pants
Social murder is not illegal because the billionaires make the laws.
Social murder is how wealth is made…
Slavery is another route.
Owner class knows this and they known peasants would revolution if critical mass understood it too
The Billionaire class is so assured in its grasp on power that they’re willing to create martyrs. Let’s see how that turns out
Okay but the line break made it seem like “Latinos” did something lol.
Yeah the post went a little off the rails after that so we just cropped it
Who is we?
He’s also eligible for Jury Nullification. Remember, if jury selection(or anyone really) asks you what Jury Nullification is, you do not.
I’ve never heard of it.
That’s the clause whereby it takes just one person too…ohhhhhhh. I uuurm, oh look a carrot.
And so are billionaires now
Kind of a nitpick, but the CEO wasn’t a billionaire. It’s also kind of an important distinction, because it’s not necessarily the wealth that’s the main problem, but how the owner class/bourgeoisie obtain their wealth/income. A slumlord worth less than a million is arguably as morally wrong as a Blackstone CEO (one obviously has more wealth/power/impact though). The evidence of owner class solidarity and government capture/corruption is also important. Rashid, being a politician, is likely trying to not alienate is millionaire donors.
He may not have been a Billionaire - YET - but at his age, he certainly saw himself on that track. He was already ordering horrific policies on behalf of increased profit, so he would look good to his bosses and move up the ladder. He was already an active corporate serial killer, murdering people to advance his career and net worth. Eventually, if he sacrificed enough customers on the altar of profit, he would be rewarded with a Billionaireship.
You are correct here…
That CEO was an officer of the oligarchy, he was not an oligarch himself.
The reaction from the oligarchy is to show of force to ensure that officers stays calm and keep fucking us harder
you know if the parent of any one child that has died in a school shooting was a billionaire said school shooters would also be looking at the death penalty.
who am I kidding, Billionaires don’t send their kids to public schools.
Oh, I’m sure he won’t become a martyr. These idiots are so scared and certain this is the best way forward, they can’t imagine the consequences.
It would be a shame if his execution caused copycats.
If Americans had the balls to copycat this, they would have done so months ago, healthcare would have been reformed as a result or at least health insurance companies would be unable to find anyone willing to be CEO for them.
Yeah, I doubt it will happen. But still, it’d be a real shame if it did.
Fuck NYP
So, in the second example, I realise those people didn’t get the death penalty, but were they also eligible for it?
The line seems to be drawn at choosing whether to charge the murder at a state or federal level. In Luigi’s case, he is being tried federally.
Which asks the question as to why Luigi’s case is being tried federally while mass casualty/terrorism crimes are only being charged at the state level.
Capital punishment is a legal penalty in the state of Florida. And based on the Wikipedia link, Parkland could have qualified based on: 3. The defendant knowingly created a great risk of death to many persons.
Because he crossed state lines to escape I guess?
It’s an excuse given that is a piss poor reasoning overall.
I think texas has a death penalty for capital murder, which begins at two or more murders done at the same time. That means the el paso shooter could have gotten it. Xorollo pointed out the florida possibility.
So, they’re comparing someone who could have gotten the death penalty but didn’t, to someone who could get the death penalty but likely won’t?
Is it so bad a thing to die?

I can’t help but think they’re just making it worse.
Until this happens to more than one guy it’s still going pretty fucking great for billionaires
Right. The only thing wrong with this murder is that it is so rare.
It’s especially true because it was actually very effective, at least temporarily. The Corporate Serial Killer’s company eased up on their rejections for a while, and so did every other health care company.
This is nothing less than the Free Market at work, doing what it is supposed to do. The Corporate Serial Killer took his sociopathic policies too far, and provoked a response from the market in an attempt to correct the issue. The elimination of the Corporate Serial Killer caused the company to adjust its policies so they didn’t provoke such a strong response, and other companies in the sector (and possibly other sectors as well) noticed it, and adjusted their policies as a result.
Conservatives should be celebrating this event. This is the Free Market at work, which is the literal religion of conservatives. This is EXACTLY what they claim they want the markets to do.
Of course, they don’t really want the “Free Market” to be truly Free. They just want it rigged in their favor.
