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?
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....
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.
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
It’s been pretty clear for sometime that in the US laws don’t apply equally to everyone.
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.
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.
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"

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.
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.

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.
