That's... actually a remarkable idea. Eugene Debs ran for President from prison in 1920, after he was convicted of sedition.

Do I think Luigi would make a good President? I have no clue, but he certainly couldn't be a worse one than Trump. Magione now has international name recognition, and is rapidly becoming our era's Robin Hood. While I'm not certain he'd win, it would send an incredible message to the healthcare industry, and the billionaire class at large. He has the potential to become the figurehead of a revolutionary movement. It certainly would make the 2028 bingo card spicy, that's for sure.

He's too young still. Gotta be 35 or so.

If he announces a presidential bid right now I would shit my pants, in the best of ways.

"No grievance, political belief, or ideological cause can justify murder."

Unless it's sanctioned by the state, of course

Killing other humans is bad, unless its done so by withholding life saving treatment.

Slow painful death

Literally not, in EU at least, the death is legally mandatory to be the quickest possible method. They usually go for a steel stake straight through the brain.

Theres definitely something shady going on. Have you seen the camera footage of the shooting? His head literally became transparent midway trough.

You have a glorious username.

Hitler had a girlfriend. Bin Laden had a wife and many children.

FAFO

Because the media is owned and run by the same class of people as the allegedly murdered CEO.

Because UNLIKE the People He KILLED he had a Wife!

-The Media!

Damage control i guess 🤷

You know what also had a wife? Another CEO.

Except it sounds like this isn't a plea deal. You're describing a plea deal, where the defendant pleads guilty after reaching a deal with the projection. My understanding is this is just a guilty plea. No deal.

It’s not that black and white. The guy that killed my brother had overwhelming evidence against him. 11/12 jurors voted guilty at two trials (22/24 juries total). But both juror pools included one person who would never vote guilty on a fellow native.
Two hung juries, and my brother is still dead, and his murderer is still without consequence. A plea deal would have done a lot for closure in my family.

The man is still in debilitating pain. Suffering through a long trial with all the pomp and circumstances surrounding it would have just been agony I think. Plus, now they can get the state charges dismissed on double Jeopardy so he doesn't have to deal with that. And by pleading guilty he denies the, now completely right wing owned mass media, the circus they were so hoping to be able to monetize.

Guess without any evidence based on the sparse information available…

federal plea + motion to dismiss state case on double jeopardy grounds. If successful, keeps his time federal and makes a possible future pardon less complicated?

I could see pardoning him grabbing a large number of votes based on his popularity?

Just guessing though

Common thing is that they'll go "guilty plea guarantees leniency, as long as you don't plead innocent first", until now he's been intentionally not saying yes or no whether he did it, in court

I don’t know why you got downvoted, Brian Thompson was subhuman scum. There’s nothing sad about his death.
