None of the 23 was a millionaire.

Real estate is ALWAYS part of wealth. Most people want to tax wealth starting at 500k, so your parents will pay it 100%. But here’s a trick, wealth estimations will be done by the government on an annual basis and will change based on who’s in charge. One year you might have 1m wealth and next year you might have 2m out of thin air. Because wealth is not money, it’s an imaginary number.
P.S. And it’s more like your parents don’t speak to you, because you are a 13yo kid in an adult body.

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.
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.
It’s been pretty clear for sometime that in the US laws don’t apply equally to everyone.
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”
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.
Yes I know, I’m a lawyer lol. I’m just saying that, in effect, lower courts split frequently, and even when they ostensibly don’t split they interpret SCOTUS decisions in sometimes very different ways.
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.
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.
Depends on the net worth of the non-billionaires. You get even more if you go after those with negative values/s
“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.”
NPR news
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…

It’s alright to put a person in jail for 90 consecutive life terms and never look back. Feel good about ourselves because if we got it wrong, we “could” look into it.
Death penalty should be used sparingly
Wife poisons her husband? No because there’s never going to be 100% proof
Kid shoots up a school? Yes because you know it was them 100%

Yeah, I’m not trying to argue either
The perfect world wouldn’t need a death penalty, yet we don’t live in a perfect world.
To me, spending ~50k a year to keep a person behind bars is not worth it.
An 18 year old school shooter has ~60 years behind bars.
That’s 3 million dollars
Do you know how many lives you can save or improve for 3 million dollars?
Thats if the cost of incarnation doesn’t increase in 60 years…
Thats not counting all the interest you could earn from investing the money for 60 years…
It’s millions of dollars
That school shooter is 100% guilty and will never, hopefully, get out of prison.
It’s inhumane to just keep them locked in a box for 60 years
But if you want to pay millions to a private prison because “The school shooter might be innocent”. Even with videos, eye witnesses, and cops arresting them with a gun.
Then okay. Doesn’t make sense to me.

To play Devil’s advocate, the bottom one was offered a plea deal. That’s different than not pursuing the death penalty.
And why was that not offered to Luigi?
They think they have a solid frame-up
