The guy that got shot (allegedly by Luigi) was the terrorist.
The man is the opposite of a terrorist. o7
robin hood of sorts.
Doesn’t a terrorist have to target an actual group of people? You know, because the “terror” part of “terrorism” is the fear from others that their life is in danger.
What group was he targeting? Rich people? CEOs of bottom-of-the-barrel healthcare companies who cause death and suffering for profit? These don’t seem like the right kind of group to qualify as terrorism.

Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.winEvil bastards. Naturally, this is taken as a threat to the current administration.
targetting a low-level ceo, instead of WITTY or hemsely.
That guy is twenty times the man I’ll ever be.
Does that mean the death penalty is off the table? If so, let’s freaking go!!
No. Luigi is facing the death penalty from the federal case which he currently has to defend against simultaneously, though his lawyers are continuing to push for one of the cases to be dismissed under double jeopardy laws.
The dismissal of the terrorism charges was for the case trial in the New York state courts. While New York has not had a death penalty since 2004, the dismissal of the terrorism charges means that life without parole is off the table.
Double jeopardy argument is DOA. I don’t like it, but long standing Supreme Court precedent says you can face both state and federal charges for the same crime. Unless they have some weird trick, that argument is just an attempt that’s barely worth trying.
I think it’s only the state charges. Feds are yet to have their turn.
Did he get hotter in jail?
i think he bulked up in jail, and you can see he is also physically worn down by the prison too.
This was the state terrorism charges right? At least I thought it was. Honestly NY charges are the least scary. If rather the feds stay out of it though. It happened in NY. NY should be the judge.
They’ll probably still get him on murder charges. As long as they can link him to doing the act itself, he’s not getting away from those consequences without jury nullification or a damn good escape plan.
It’s gonna be hard to link him to the murder when the chain of custody is the shitshow it is. He didn’t do it, they planted the evidence on him and fucked up the planting.
also the fact that eric adams turned it into a perpwalk spectacle too.
Can you stop celebrating a murderer, please!?
He’s not a murderer. That has to be proven by the court.
Nobody here is celebrating Brian Thompson?
Innocent until proven guilty.
I summon pot of greed
Pot of Greed? What does it do?
It sucks
The gun was planted
