Who's that guy? Doesn't look like the guy they were searching for. At all.

Good. All the best to him.

Federal prosecutors claimed in their new filing that Mangione deserves the death penalty because of "the impact of the victim's death upon his family, friends and co-workers" and because "he expressed intent to target an entire industry and rally political and social opposition to that industry, by engaging in an act of lethal violence."

I just want to remind everyone of the impact of many of Thompson's murders on their family, friend, and co-workers, all in the service of the money masters' sheer, unadulterated, insatiable greed.

Also we literally only know his thoughts on the matter because they released excerpts of his journal. If he was trying to rally political and social opposition, you'd think he would have published a manifesto himself.

Presumptive of you to assume what was put forth as his writings are actually his. His guilt or innocence need to be determined in court, not in law enforcement's uncorroborated statements to the media.

Mmmmm, barium bromide.

Does the public have any information on the evidence they have that he did it? What I have read about all sounds like a weak case with what I suspect is a mountain of inadmissible evidence gathered by methods outside of laws that would apply to the non elite class.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 3 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

It is an extremely weak case. He is unidentifiable by the video, which is their best evidence by far, and any physical evidence is suspect in multiple ways, due to police corruption and corporate/ oligarch pressure. It should be very easy to sow reasonable doubt.

He was halfway around the country earing ice cream with me.

At least he's wearing armor now.
