Crime Attorney General Pam Bondi directs federal prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione - Mangione, 26, was charged with fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last year.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi on Tuesday directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last year.

Mangione, 26, was federally charged in December with stalking and murdering Thompson after the CEO was fatally shot on the streets of midtown Manhattan. He was also charged with first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism by state prosecutors.

Bondi said that she was directing prosecutors to seek the death penalty as part of "President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again."

"Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America," Bondi said in a statement.

Mangione has pled not guilty to all charges. His lawyer did not immediately return a request for comment about the attorney general's request.

Thompson's Dec. 4 killing and subsequent colossal manhunt for his masked assassin captivated the nation for weeks.

The gunman fled on a bike outside the New York Hilton Midtown, where Thompson was staying for the health care company's annual investors' meeting, police said. City surveillance footage showed the gunman riding into Central Park before disappearing.

Five days later, on Dec. 9, Mangione was recognized in a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and arrested that day.

Both him and the person he off'd deserve the death penalty

"Killing someone who I feel deserves it is justice"

Well, that is what juries say when they return a not guilty verdict.

"Killing someone who I feel doesn't deserve it is murder." Bet you're real fun to watch Westerns with. "It don't matter that he killed yer paw an 'ere's no lawman out here, vigilantism is worse! Y'all just let them blackhats run the town. beat up Miss Kitty and cattle rustle."

If he gets the chair then a whole lot more people should too, if mass murderers escape the chair when a one time murder warrants it then its a clear case of hypocrisy.

 

[Mr. Manchester]

I don't know, maybe he shouldn't have gotten caught. People rolling up and shooting other people isn't the society I want to live in, although it could be argued that it's the society people like healthcare CEOs have built. Shooting some guy in the back is nigger behavior though so I don't know. Fuck around and find out I guess.

 

[Meth Dick]

You gotta kill him.
None of this retarded "murderers are bad but not this one!" shit because ultimately the murder wasn't in self defense or defense of another, he didn't kill someone that was an inherent danger to society, like say a rapist or child molester.
What the fuck did this stupid wop even accomplish besides putting all other shitty CEO's on high alert and just shuffle the deck of United Healthcare?
Point is he's pyscho enough to commit murder over his feelings once, he's psycho enough to do it again, just fucking kill him and wipe our hands of him and that's how every violent schizo should be dealt with.
He's not a hero, he's a mental case with no qualms about resorting to murder if it tickles his fancy.

CEOs adversely affect many, many more people, even to death. Luigi killed in defense of everyone on the business end of United policy.

He put one in the ground. No appeals court can reverse that.

He's not a hero, he's a mental case with no qualms about resorting to murder if it tickles his fancy.

Killing a murderer isn't murder.

create a smokin hot martyr, genius, that definitely always works out

Life in prison would make sure he went out with a whimper, not a bang

 

[Megaton Punch]

Unironically based take. The problem isn't that they're playing fast and loose with the death penalty for Mangione. The problem is that they're letting too many people live who deserve to die.

 

[Meth Dick]

It has some potential to become another Floyd chimpout, but this time targeted to corpos.

Well, anyway...

Not even a chance of that.
Floyd chimpouts were perpetrated by violent niggers with low IQs that live on violence and robbery
Any "riots" over a Mangione execution is going to be done by fat blue haired tranny faggots entirely on the internet.
The retards applauding Mangione like he's a modern day folk hero are either are mostly fat white internet dwellers so the second they throw a rock or cocktail they're getting the shit beat out of them because they don't have the protections the BLM niggers had.

Well, that is what juries say when they return a not guilty verdict.

Except the guy he shot never got a Jury..... just someone who appointed himself that and executioner all in one.

You can't do that and call it justice.

Killing a murderer isn't murder.

It is if you didn't get a jury's permission first.

For being all about the sanctity of the jury? You seem to immediately disregard it once it rules the "wrong" way.

I feel this. Murder is wrong. But because of personal experience that was taking place in my life simultaneously with this event, I’m finding Mangoni to be a sympathetic defendant. Insurance companies have never been sympathetic victims.

I’m aware that my difficulty coming out and saying this is wrong makes me a hypocrite on the issue. But, it is what it is.

 

[m1ddl3m4rch]

Mangione will get one, and if they say not guilty then it was justice.

You can't do that and call it justice.

Half the country disagrees.

CEOs, especially health care, are scum of the earth. But murder is still murder. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. And/or frying your brain on ayahuasca.

Decorum, decorum!
Just a wee bit of decorum.

Real though, I like how the courts allow hoodlems, crack heads, corrupt cops, abusive spouses to murder each other in the most brutal ways possible and struggle to even give them more than 10 years in prison in most cases.

But you shoot one rich guy and a woman who looks like a prostitute but is allegedly the attorney general wants you dead now. I know British people like the whole two tier justice term but it's the same here, just rich people get priority.

Part of this is the fact that, frankly, death penalty trials are a pain in the ass for courts. If you don’t know, ever since a Supreme Court ruling in the ‘60’s all death penalty trials have to be conducted in two phases: the first to determine factual guilt and the second to determine whether the defendant is worthy of the death penalty. Now consider that the courts tend to not want crimes to go to trial due to the costs involved, hence the prevalence of things like plea deals, so having to deal with what amounts to two trials is even more daunting. Even if the death penalty is successful imposed the court then has to deal with a entire cottage industry of lawyers who will search for the most minute technicalities in the world in order for the death penalty to be overturned on appeal (which could even result in having to conduct yet another trial) just to get the prestige of successful overturning a death penalty conviction. And apart from just the appeals, there is a good chance that every four years a new administration could come in and issue clemency for death row inmates (as happened towards the end of Biden’s term) and all that effort was essentially for nothing. This is the reason why the criminal justice system typically reserves the death penalty for “special” cases.

Mangione will get one, and if they say not guilty then it was justice.

And his victim never got one, that's the point...... you are being willingly blind here. You can't hold up the sanctity of trial by jury on one hand, and on the other say "well, he didn't get a trial, but, hey, his kind don't' deserve it"

Half the country disagrees.

Justice is not a popularity contest.


All this comes across as is "Justice is when I get the outcome I want"

 

[AllieKat]

"Killing someone who I feel deserves it is justice"

"Killing Trump because the Democrats are too chickenshit and do nothing about his dictatorship is justice"

"Killing Tesla drivers because the law does "nothing" about their support of a Nazi is justice"

Nah.

First sentence: based.
Second and third? Gay

If the jury assigned to an extrajudicial killing case gives a not guilty verdict, then he's not guilty of murder for committing that extrajudicial justice.

Justice is not a popularity contest.

Not guilty is an option, and unanimously given is the result of a popularity contest. Frankly it is that popular and popularly sympathetic that Thompson was killed. Mangione did nothing wrong at all.

 

[Autistic Integrity]

This was a political protest conducted by way of premeditated murder just to bring attention to a cause. I can understand the use of the death penalty. In a civilized society this type of behavior cannot be tolerated.

CEOs adversely affect many, many more people, even to death. Luigi killed in defense of everyone on the business end of United policy.

A guy just got ran over by a dude in a Lexus. THE CEO OF LEXUS IS A MURDERER!
The CEO doesn't do jack shit about individual cases, he runs. The guy wasn't responsible for people's deaths when he's just a figurehead. A lightning rod for dumb fucks like you to aim your ire at.

He put one in the ground. No appeals court can reverse that.

In other words killing without due process, no trial, no defense, that's what we call a "lynching". An unjudicial killing is the same as murder. This shouldn't be difficult to understand.

Killing a murderer isn't murder.

Name one person that Brian Thompson or whatever the CEO's name was personally murdered. One person he looked directly in the eyes and said "suffer, peasant."
Your hero is a mentally ill spoiled rotten man child.
