    For a second I was going to say it’s like they’re trying to make us hate them more somehow. Then I realized, yeah, that’s probably exactly what they’re trying to do. Antagonizing people into violence is the goal.

    I’m not sure if it’s to use it as an excuse to declare martial law, or kick off a civil war, or both? Idk I guess I’ve just been around enough passive aggressive pieces of shit in the past to recognize it when I see it.

      The shitty part is that they win either way. Either they get an excuse to escalate or they get to kill a potential movement in its crib. The people aren’t exactly holding any trump cards here.

        I think it’s a bit more complex than that, because it still depends on the conviction.

        Clearly he is not getting off from some kind of murder charge. I don’t know much about the trial, but I would assume his lawyers are arguing a state of physical and emotional distress which would have kept him from being in his right mind when he allegedly shot the guy.

        It would be a pretty bold move for a “free country” to execute someone like that. Not saying it wouldn’t happen, but I know we’re already being monitored for human rights violations by other countries. It would seem to be a weak hand to play, but then again strongmen usually play pretty weak hands when they want to prove how powerful they are. We have entire histories worth of atrocities to prove it.

      An indefinite general strike would work though. It’s peaceful and would cripple the oligarchs

      i like how in a yotube video her pretending to be a christian, by wearing a cross makes her absolve from all the court rules for some reason, as a gotcha moment for right wingers. something along the judge wants her to take it off, because it gives the wrong message.(i dint click on the video)

    Can’t say it on Reddit, but I hope that they can’t find a jury who would convict him.

      By requesting the DP they are essentially going to try to find a jury that is as pro DP as possible.

      100% this. We have actual murderers in prison for life who have killed several people. They’re still here and will be until they die.

      This is 100% a message that rich people’s lives are more important than any of our lives. And they’re willing to kill to prove it.

        people largely forgot about navalny, he fear if he stayed out of russia too long, his martydom would not be useful, and largely been ignored since his death. MSM is in cahoots with putin indirectly, so they wouldnt report him anyways.

      Scarred or scared?

      I think it’s both.

      If you could make God bleed, people would cease to believe in Him. There will be blood in the water, the sharks will come.

    He’s never getting out, and I’m sure he knows it. He carried his manifesto for days. He wants to make a statement.

    Kill him and see what that gets the government. Middle aged white women are paying attention.

    hmm so death is an appropriate consequence for killing people, huh. so she’s admitting that Luigi allegedly delivered justice, actually.

    I think it’s inappropriate for a lawyer to use stage names though. I mean, Pam Bondi? come on.

        This is important. When Trump was starting his first run for president, he was fighting his many state lawsuits for his Trump University fraud. She was the Florida AG, and they were about to levy a $25 million fine against him. He had a meeting with her, he donated $25K to her reelection campaign, and she dropped the case, amd became a supporter.

        That let him know the kind of AG she was, so he gave her the Fed version. He WANTED a corrupt AG that he can bribe.

      19 and 16 are “young” children? Not to mention the fact that he was separated from his wife and his contact with them was limited. Unlike with hundreds, if not thousands, of parents he killed with his policy of denying coverage.

      The obvious fellating of the ruling class by the mainstream media is annoying as fuck.

        Nearly 26.6 million people in the U.S. rely on UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual through insured and self-funded plans. In addition, we serve more than 7.5 million people with care and benefits services outside of the United States.

        Rather than hundreds to thousands, I’m going to go with thousands to tens of thousands.

        How about a new rule… You don’t get to call them young children if you think that they are old enough to work long hours at a hazardous job without breaks, or that they are old enough (by 2 or more years!) to be married to a 60+ year old pervert. You lose all moral standing to call them “young children” if you do.

      I guarantee as that piece of shit bled out on the sidewalk, the words “why me?” didn’t cross his minds. He knew what he did to deserve it. He did deserve it, as do countless other greedy mother fuckers who are ruining the world for personal gain.

        If anything went through his head other than possibly a bullet, it would not shock me at all if “why me” or “what did I do to deserve this” was there. No one with intact empathy or a conscience could do what he did. If he was capable of recognizing his failings he wouldn’t have been willing to earn his wealth by stepping on the necks of the sick.

    A man killed a man that was killing thousands of men.

    So, we should kill him!

    Are they not vindicating Luigi by wanting this?

    This has a potentially significant chance of backfiring, as it is more difficult to get a jury to convict when the death penalty is at stake.
