    Whaaaaaaaaaaaat noooooooooooo, that can’t be right. Who other than every single person alive saw that coming?

    Hopefully, they will televise it and trump will say “You’re fired” right before they pull the switch. That would be on par with the shitshow circus we live in these days.

    Edit: added to the bit

      In Texas, you can shoot a guy in a wheelchair in between child molestations and the Governor while shake your hand while he pardons you.

        Indications seem to be high 8 to low 9 figs. There is a fucking ocean between “not billionaire” and “average guy”. Also, obligatory fuck Brian Thompson.

          Fuck him indeed. He got what was coming to him. I had no idea who he was until he was shot and I instantly hated him.

    If we live in a country where a child can get ran over or shot every day and nobody gets prison time for it, we can set a man free who kills a serial killer that preys on the poor and injured for profit.

    That corrupt piece of shit that dropped the trump University case for fifty bucks and a case of Boone’s Farm wants the DoJ to pursue the death penalty for a homicide. Sure. Best timeline ever.

    Higher burden of proof on a case that already has improperly collected evidence? Sure thing, go ahead and virtue signal to the right that you’re still the party of law and order. The billionaires should still be scared after reading this.

    This has a potentially significant chance of backfiring, as it is more difficult to get a jury to convict when the death penalty is at stake.

    So they basically admit it is about revenge, not justice? How dare someone of the working class attack someone clearly superior! We must punish this worthless creature to put them into their rightful place at the bottom of the taxpaying pyramid!

    Called it weeks ago. He’ll be long dead before then though. Almost certainly due to a prison shank. Mmw.
