The gunman who killed 23 people in a racist attack targeting Hispanic shoppers at a Walmart near the U.S.-Mexico border in 2019 would avoid the death penalty under a plea offer announced Tuesday, abruptly ending years of efforts by prosecutors to see that he face execution by lethal injection.

Today, Attorney General Pamela Bondi released the following statement:
“Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America. After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again.”
@Cliff-Mashburn saidit was a Biden administration effort to halt all federal death penalty comvictions on principle.
@Zahlanzi
From the article:
"Under the Biden administration, federal prosecutors also took the death penalty off the table but did not explain why."
There's a lot more going on here than a simple "Oh he just killed some mexicans so let's not seek the death penalty"
Trump has no such principle. Trump is seeking the death penalty for someone who killed one CEO but not for someone who killed 23 non CEOs.
But perhaps he is just too busy throwing tariffs at a world map and see what sticks and he just hasn't gotten to demanding the death penalty for the racist mass murderer too.
Trump is very consistent in his principles right? and fair. and not a hypocrite.
right?

@Zahlanzi saidTrump ain't seeking chit, he has nothing to do with any of those cases.

Trump has no such principle. Trump is seeking the death penalty for someone who killed one CEO but not for someone who killed 23 non CEOs.
The mass killing shooter is nuts and his defense attorney has been holding things up on those grounds. The DA has been pushing for the death penalty for six years and the relatives of the victims are sick of it and want it over, it says so in the article

@Cliff-Mashburn saidWell then, I suggest you go there and assassinate him yourself, that would make the families happy.

I'm sure your collection of automatic weapons will be sufficient for the job.
Hell, you might even get a reward from the families.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidsure buddy. Trump surrounds himself with free independent thinkers who totally don't follow his every whim.

@Zahlanzi said1) Good thing for that guy that there are absolutely no Hispanic/Latino prisoners in our prison-industrial system.

2) No objection to AG Bondi's direction re: the Mangione case. Otherwise it would be open season on anyone who makes a lot of money and maybe even on all public figures in general.*

* On the other hand, if Social Security gets destroyed, there are probably a lot of still-healthy geezers with weapon skills and not much to lose who might be willing to take a chance for the team.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidYeah here's today's quote from the prosecutor.
Jebus you are thick...Trump has nothing to do with either of those cases. Never has.
"...seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump's agenda ..."
@Arkturos saidHispanics in prison (at least in CA) are divided among two factions - natives to the USA vs immigrants. The native Chicanos are typically more interested in allying with whites against the Blacks and immigrants. Vengeance is unlikely to occur in prison.

@Zahlanzi saidMangione's case is a simple murder committed in New York State. He's been indicted and will be tried in State Court. The Federal case and the decision to seek the death penalty is political grandstanding nothing more.

John Smith talks to his cell mate about prison politics in the movie Felon:
The Hispanics are cut in half. You got the northerners and the southerners. Trust me, they're always at war.
Chicano criminal:
F* that Norteño up, homie!
White criminal:
Rip that farmer’s head off!
Norteño, northerner, farmer, paisa all refer to criminals who come from immigrant communities which do labor on farms in rural areas of Northern California.
@no1marauder saidgood to know.

hard to distinguish between trumpettes talking out of their rectum threatening gruesome crap, breaking the law threatening gruesome crap or actually having a legal path doing gruesome crap
