No matter what happens, it'll be a travesty. The #US #oligarchy is chomping at the bit to make an example out of #Mangione.

But, I'm pretty sure the judge is smart enough to also know that martyrs breed copycats.

If he or she doesn't, I'm guessing the next big domestic terrorism act will be by people who don #LuigiMangione masks.

Houston Public Media · Xavier Davis pleads guilty to 2021 triple murder of Houston familyBy Sarah Grunau

Defenders in #Appalachia Against #MountainValleyPipeline Avoided #FelonyCharges

"Initially we were charged with #conspiracy. The real conspiracy is between the #prosecutors and the #judges, between the #cops and the #corporations."

By #AppalachiansAgainstPipelines, #CensoredNews, March 3, 2025

"Last Tuesday, 12 pipeline fighters had court in Giles County for charges resulting from three different actions against the Mountain Valley Pipeline in 2023 and 2024 in and around the #JeffersonNationalForest, including one site where #MVP was drilling through the mountain under the #AppalachianTrail.

"Eleven of the defendants accepted non-cooperating plea deals -- all of them were facing absurd felony charges, including
felony abduction and felony 'unauthorized use of a vehicle.' In the end, they plead to misdemeanor charges and there were NO felony convictions. They were sentenced to community service, probation, and to pay restitution. The court room was PACKED all day long with supporters!"

Firing senior #military officers

Firing career #prosecutors

Firing the person responsible for the security of American #infrastructure from attack

Refusing to defend our NATO allies from attack

Cutting off military aid to #Ukraine

The only possible explanation for these actions is that President Fragile Ego Tiny Hands is creating a #dictatorship in which he can act freely to make this country a #Russian vassal state

Replied to Nonilex

@Nonilex sadly…it seems foolish to hope at this point.

But that first shot of adrenaline…
When the righteous stood strong…nothing like it!
To these prosecutors…the “rule of law” mattered …
More their politics…& that…really mattered to me.

Don’t we all long to be worthy when called to…
Fight for the same #principles
Exhibited by these ethical, dedicated #prosecutors

I know I do.
Are we now a country of cowards & gluttons?

NBC News · Trump’s feared DOJ enforcer has a secret: He, too, investigated Jan. 6By Ken Dilanian

When I read stories like this that are feeding demand for recall of our current DA, whose (incumbent) opponent in the last was corrupt, I wonder whether we think of imprisonment more as or punishment. It certainly not so that they can learn to be better people. And I wonder whether getting deeper into the mind at the who make deals would help, if there were more .

In this case, it says pleas were accepted to avoid a negative outcome in a case that was moving "glacially." Would the people who expected a certain label on the or a certain number of years prefer to risk nothing all? I don't understand all of the around it.
