Looks like Luigi Mangione may get away w/ premeditated cold-blooded murder on an unsuspecting victim and the orphaning of the victim's two children after all. If so, Tyler Robinson should get away w/ it as well. I see no difference between both murder suspects despite one's opinion of the victims. Why should Robinson be put to death and Mangione walk?

I also notice even more how shallow people are... Why am I not seeing anywhere as many sexual fantasies online for Tyler Robinson as I'm still seeing for Luigi Mangione? Would people stan for Mangione all that much if he were obese? Sure, some people celebrated him before his image was published, but I'm referring to most of his admirers drooling over his "Italian looks."

I don't find Mangione all that more handsome than Robinson... If Robinson was not an assassin and showed interest in me, I would not say no.

He’s not “getting away” with his cold blooded murder. The judge only dismissed the terrorism charge. He is still facing a New York State second degree murder charge and federal charges including the death penalty. See below AP report.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York judge on Tuesday threw out terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, rejecting the Manhattan district attorney’s theory in a state murder case that the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was “intended to evoke terror.”

Judge Gregory Carro kept other charges in place, including a second-degree murder count that requires prosecutors to prove Mangione intended to kill Thompson but not that he was doing so as an act of terrorism.

The ruling eliminated the top two charges in Mangione’s state case, sparing him the possibility of a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole. The 27-year-old Ivy League graduate is also facing a parallel federal death penalty prosecution. Carro said the defense’s argument that the dueling prosecutors amounted to double jeopardy was premature.

Is Robinson obese? I haven't seen any pictures of him looking fat.

Not sure why you would complain about the shallowness of people finding a murderer attractive. It's about being physically attracted to a murderer.

I did not say he is obese. I asked if people would still fancy him if he were obese.

Most wouldn't.

Which is sick, yes, especially when done to such an extent, with many clamouring for Mangione to walk free! It sends the message that if a murderer is attractive, they may walk or get a lesser sentence just because of that.

That is an extremely shallow analysis. Try again.

@juanjo Is it true that federal charges hinge on demonstrating that the victim genuinely feared for his life due to stalking?

I’ve just got to offer my two cents on the Jimmy Kimmel suspension which will most likely lead to his firing. I have nothing particularly new to say but I just need to express my outrage at what is going on before our eyes. Bill Maher referred to it as a “slow moving coup” and that’s what’s happening drip by drip, day by day. We heard about Project 2025 during the campaign, which Trump denied knowing anything about, but lying is a basic part of his playbook.

First he pardoned all the January 6th felons, then he got Elon Musk to dismantle the basic foundations of our government domestically and abroad. He got the worst of the worst confirmed for his cabinet, and he has the most powerful institutions in the country in his back pocket, by intimidating the media conglomerates by threatening to not approve their mergers and acquisitions unless they pay fines as ABC and CBS did and to get rid of his political critics like Steven Colbert and now Jimmy Kimmel.

This is a common playbook in authoritarian states like Russia, China and North Korea and now The United States of America? What a sad day this is in our once great country. I hope that somehow this can be reversed, but things get worse day by day. Very sad………..

And everything of recent is just to distract from him being on the Epstein list and everyone officially finding out that he’s a fat ass, cenile, crooked, underaged fucking pedophile jackass.

I see a lot of arguing on whether Tyler Robinson belongs to the Left or the Right.

So far, there's absolutely no evidence Robinson is a Groyper or whatever. Yes, Nick Fuentes accused Charlie Kirk of certain things, but that's not evidence Robinson is one of his followers. What is confirmed so far... Robinson actually decried his father being a "diehard MAGA," and he found Kirk to be "full of hate that can't be negotiated out." He's also in a relationship w/ a transitioning person. That said, his actions do NOT reflect on LGBTs or members of the Left as a whole.

 

[trebligon]

You have people married to undocumented immigrants who voted for Trump. Robinson having a possibly trans girlfriend doesn't preclude him being a scumbag ottherwise.

Of copse he’s a total scumbag. Anyone who would take a rifle on a rooftop and murder another human being with a gun shot to their head is a totally sick motherfucker. As is Luigi murdering the United Healthcare official with a gun shot. Regardless of Charlie being a total dick and homophobe and the health care system in the United States being fucked up, there is absolutely zero justification for cold blooded murder.

In today’s world, there is no way for me to determine if this pic is real or AI, but either way Trump is a pig in my every way to my way of thinking.

Actually there is no evidence that Robinson decried his father for being a diehard MAGA and his comment about Kirk comes from a government transcript of what they claim is an exchange between him and his roommate. And while it seems possible that he and the roommate were in a romantic relationship there is no evidence that the roommate is transitioning.

So far, Robinson has not said anything to anyone. The government attached what it represents as a transcript of a text exchange between Robinson and his roommate. No one has actually seen the actual text message exchange. Nor has anyone had the opportunity to do a defense forensic exam on the data. I am unaware of the roommate confirming there is a romantic relationship between him and Robinson nor that he is transitioning.

The arguments about Robinson being a Groyper are based upon the memes on his bullets but that may not be accurate. I have seen some discussions by experts suggesting he may just be a nihilistic gamer who likes shitposting memes. and did so on those bullets. His comments in the government transcript would support the idea considering what he allegedly said about the bullets There is no evidence one way or another that Robinson had any strong political views either to the left or the right at this point and even the police admit that.

He did dislike Kirk but that is a feeling held by far-right and far-left extremists, among others. That includes Nick Fuentes and some others. They far-right ones thought he was a complete sellout and strong supporter of Israel.

That is fake. No state banquet would ever serve noodles.
