BUT? Don't shoot people in the back, BUT?
HOLY SMOKES: Mayor Eric Adams stuns a room full of liberals, declaring the CEO shooter was clearly radicalized by leftists to hate America.

Now he's a former cop, sitting Mayor under federal indictment. I assume Garland sicced the SDNY on him.

Depends on which charges are contained in the indictment, in my view. If they are ticky tack charges such as an airline upgrade years and years ago, well before he was Mayor?Quote:

There is ZERO reason for Trump to pardon this guy.

Can't be blue starred enough. I agree with Trump. The shooter is a cowardly loser.

Murder in the First Degree, in furtherance of terrorism
Quote:
Mangione initially faced a range of charges, with second-degree murder as the top charge. In New York, first-degree murder requires special circumstances, such as if the victim is a police officer, the victim was tortured, etc. In this case, prosecutors are now alleging the murder was an act of terrorism.
"This was a killing to invoke terror," Bragg said. "This was not an ordinary killing, not to suggest that any killing is ordinary, but this was extraordinary and the New York State Legislature has set out both the paths, both the murder one and murder two, and this, we allege, is squarely within those statutes which talk about intending to do exactly what we saw happen here."
Pretty much, yes. Violence against a non-combatant in the hopes of ideological gains.Gig em G said:Quote:

Terrorism? Any other person is shot dead on the street and the perpetrator is a murderer. Shoot someone with enough money and influence though and you're a terrorist, I guess.
Because they are not doing them in NYC under Brag as DA.Gig em G said:
Why aren't school shooters typically charged with terrorism then? Most have ideological reasons and explicitly state them in their manifestos…it's almost always nihilistic hate for society as a whole, or racial motivated. On top of that, they very clearly are motivated to cause mass "terror" by murdering random people, and as many as they possibly can
I don't know. I'm just saying I can see how this case meets the definition.Gig em G said:

FOX45 reports that seven people were shot and one is dead following a shooting that occurred at a funeral home.
Baltimore County Police Department says multiple people were transported to area hospitals.

I get what you're saying. I guess my post was more rhetorical than anything.
It just seems like this particular case indicates that the upper echelon of business executives and politicians are more concerned about forgoing their routine dinner reservations at Peter Luger's or Nobu Malibu (due to fear of getting targeted) than innocent children getting murdered.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/unitedhealthcare-ceo-murder-suspect-luigi-mangione-faces-new-york-extradition-after-ending-fightQuote:
Luigi Mangione, the suspect accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Dec. 4 in Manhattan, was extradited Thursday morning back to New York City, where he faces state and now federal charges.
Mangione, 26, was flown out of Pennsylvania on Thursday to face murder charges in New York. He will face federal charges, as well, according to sources.
Federal court documents filed Thursday afternoon show he is facing two counts of stalking, one count of murder using a firearm and one count of using a firearm in the commission of a crime in the Southern District of New York. He will have a hearing in federal court once he arrives in Manhattan.
"The federal government's reported decision to pile on top of an already overcharged first-degree murder and state terror case is highly unusual and raises serious constitutional and statutory double jeopardy concerns," his New York defense attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, told Fox News. "We are ready to fight these charges in whatever court they are brought."
Yes, hung jury results in a mistrial usually. There are a lot of state counts against him though. Could convict on a lesser included.Gig em G said:
Can't he possibly be retried if the case ends up in a hung jury though?

Yes you did. I was skeptical because feds do not usually do that for a state murder without further federal law involvement.Quote:
