They gotta get rid of him, he’s a symbol to people.
Something tells me that Trump will soon be pardoning everyone accused of a hate crime. But only the white on nonwhite kind. He might even go so far as to demand the release of Alexandre Bissonnette from Canada and grant him American citizenship. Bissonnette was the Quebec City Mosque shooter in 2017 who shot 7 Muslims dead in Quebec. He is a Canadian born Canadian citizen. He was inspired to do primarily by Ben Shapiro.
“Montoya (DA) said he supports the death penalty and believes Crusius deserves it. But he said he met with the families of the victims and while some were willing to wait as long as it took for a death sentence, there was an overriding desire to conclude the process.”

This is the problem
You can throw a man that pleads guilty in jail for 90 consecutive life sentences and be “over”
Now, to see if he really did it and deserves the death penalty…yeah going to have to take a lot longer to just make sure…
They really needed him to confess to killing 23 people in public under CCTV cameras, it would have been dozens of people’s words against his and the only hard evidence HD video of it happening! How else could they have won the case?
I’m certainly not the 1st, or thousandth person to say it…we have a legal system, not a justice system. Luigi showed us all a flash of a justice system.
It’s been pretty clear for sometime that in the US laws don’t apply equally to everyone.
There were two immigrant teenagers murdered in NYC the same day as Thompson. Nobody cared in the slightest.
Obviously not. As we’ve already ascertained from OP, one murder of a rich is worth more than 23 murders of non-white commoners. A mere 2 non-citizen commoners isn’t going to make them blink an eye.
And just think of the media circus if the world didn’t like and support Luigi the more they hear about him, they tried a blitz at first and it just helped Luigis popularity… so this is the silent mode.
They should. But when the Supreme Court is corrupt, this is what happens.
It’s all courts, let’s not pretend it was different for most people 10 years ago.
But the Supreme Courts dictate lower courts
Yes I know, but (1) most lower court actions and decisions are never reviewed by SCOTUS and (2) it’s not like the lower courts were doing great and every once in a while SCOTUS overturned them. This has long, long been a been a very consistent and pervasive problem in the federal courts. It’s not as simple as “SCOTUS pulls the strings of the lower courts,” quite far from it.
I didn’t say they pull the strings. I said they dictate it. They set precedence. Which is huge in the interpretation of law.
Serial killers like Ted Bundy, state charges. Even though he crossed several states. Yet this has federal charges for some reason.
“For some reason”. I’d go with “For removing a useful tool of the Oligarchs”
Circa 1776, more specifically.

My wife had this 3D DS ever since we met. This is how I feel and we need more Luigis. We need to free him. Fuck that DOJ.
Year of Luigi indeed
None of the 23 was a millionaire.

The parents I no longer speak to probably have around 1mil if you include real estate. The fact that they think “tax the rich” applies to them in any actual life changing way is a laughable mindset that actual billionaires use to keep the upper-middle class in line / helping them oppress the rest of us. We’ll need to break that mindset to fully dismantle this shit since they comprise a large number of local low-level bureaucrats. If you don’t either figure out how to get them on your side or come up with suitable replacements (harder than you’d think) it’s actually quite difficult to create any kind of functional new social system, which generally just leaves a power vacuum open for either more or continued dumbfuckery.
Real estate is ALWAYS part of wealth. Most people want to tax wealth starting at 500k, so your parents will pay it 100%. But here’s a trick, wealth estimations will be done by the government on an annual basis and will change based on who’s in charge. One year you might have 1m wealth and next year you might have 2m out of thin air. Because wealth is not money, it’s an imaginary number.
P.S. And it’s more like your parents don’t speak to you, because you are a 13yo kid in an adult body.
What the fuck was that last sentence? Why the fuck would you assume about someone you never met, that their parents cut them off?
Thats some mean-spirited, personal shit you got going on. Like a bitch.
I cut THEM off because of the child abuse LOL.
Plot twist, it’s the parents.
Actually now that I think about it the child abuse was more of a secondary reason I cut them off. The main reason was that I accumulated a significant amount of PTSD from working as a nurse (and other, smaller roles during school) both in psychiatry in general and through the pandemic and spent a lot of time working with some very underprivileged populations and seeing how their care was handled during the crisis, and how my coworkers and I were treated while being some of the only people who were willing to stay and keep caring for them, and then they found my PTSD reactions amusing.
My parents always said I’d agree with them more the older I got but honestly I agreed with them much more the younger I was and the less I knew about any of this. The more I’ve seen the more their politics deeply upset me. As a fun side detail, based on what I know about my father’s work, I’m pretty sure those dead Palestinian kids are paying for my nursing degree. The final straw was when I realized the reason I felt the urge to drink every time I spoke to them was because I was medicating the flashbacks. My mother has always enjoyed “debating” and the realization that my mother found my PTSD flashbacks “fun” clarified a lot of emotions that had been very confusing for a long time.
It’s really hard to stay “rational” when someone brings up “was COVID even real” as a “joke” and the first thing that pops into your brain is the face of the guy you were desperately trying to keep breathing for a few hours who finally just started having a stroke too. Or the time you got called to sit suicide watch because the person kept trying to take off the mask of their ventilator off and wheezing out “just let me die” over and over. The only thing that helped was if I just kept talking and I ran out of things to say so I just started telling him the plots of the last five books I read. When my shift hit the 16 hour mark and I was falling asleep they didn’t have enough people to sit with all the patients and when they triaged he was deemed the lowest priority so I handed him off to his nurse but there’s no way she could’ve actually stayed with him continously. I never did find out what happened to that one. At least with the stroke guy I went down to CT with and got to see them infuse the tPA and watch him start to come back out of it before I handed him off to the neuro nurse.
I stopped drinking the day I cut them off and tbh it was actually really easy without them around. It’s been over a year now and I barely even felt any cravings when it was fresh. It turned out they were literally the reason I was drinking. Some people’s families just aren’t healthy. It also turns out that being really self-centered from a political standpoint translates really well to being really self-centered in person. And some parents are just self-centered enough that they’ll worsen their own child’s mental health for their own personal entertainment.
Real estate is ALWAYS part of wealth
Yes, however no one is specifically calling on land owners to be taxed.
Most people want to tax wealth starting at 500k, so your parents will pay it 100%.
Also wrong, the common consensus in the U.S. is that you should be taxed if you make over 400k a year. Make over 400k, anyone paying attention recognizes how this is just going to be circumvented by the current tax loopholes already in place.
But here’s a trick, wealth estimations will be done by the government on an annual basis and will change based on who’s in charge. One year you might have 1m wealth and next year you might have 2m out of thin air.
Please name a single time that the U.S. treasury has gone ‘actually the dollar is worth double what it’s worth’ . Please, I would like you to point to that happening. And if you’re referring to markets fluctuating as a result of a new presidency, holy shit I’m not explaining how that has nothing to do with the government ‘deciding’ the value of a currency.
P.S. : you come off like an asshole, an asshole that barely knows what they’re talking about.
Nobody asked me but I am specifically calling for a Land Value Tax. Land values are already part of state-level property tax assessments, which are relatively stable and don’t double over a year.
We already tax wealth a little bit and it works great. We should do it more!
I think that, without many things changing first, that would be a great way to cause a lot of people to lose their homes.
Plenty of house poor folks who are just trying to keep their home/land. They would need to be considered too.
Land Value Tax, not a parcel tax. Most of the revenue would come from cities.

Guy who doesn’t understand what a homestead exemption is
I got to the end of my dumbass comment and was reminded that this was why no one talks to me, so I felt the compulsion to lash out in anger at the smallest possible display of empathy
Bro, go get a hug.
Ever heard of “market value”?
Very few are discussing a wealth tax, and when they do, it’s usually on net worth over 10mil.
The 500k is annual income, which you don’t magically generate from owning a few houses. And yeah, people making that much annually should be paying a higher percentage tax compared to a public school teacher or barber, etc, but due to corruption and lack of regulation they don’t always do so.
Who are these invisible people?
How many non-billionaire’s lives are equal to one billionaire’s life?
If you had less than 24 I have bad news for you.
Multi millionaire right? I think he was the top 1 percent of 1 percent, but I don’t think he broke 1 billion.
3/5
Although it’s more like 3/5000
UH CEO was provably guilty of deep evil and harm against millions of Americans. El Paso Walmart shoppers not at all. Even the premise that they as a race are somehow bad for America is highly suspect. Among the murdered, only 8 were Mexican. 13 Americans and a German. The political terrorism charge that applies to UH CEO, applies way more to this murder. 50/50 there’s a pardon, and new GOP speaking tour.
Ugh, for somebody from Europe to visit the states and then get gunned down in a mass shooting at a Walmart, could there be a more stereotypical “experience America” than that?
Having to deal with the hospital bills afterwards if they survive?
Damn it, you are totally right.
