Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty as early as Friday in the federal case accusing him of stalking and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a stunning development in a case that rattled business leaders while galvanizing their critics, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Even if his defense was that he only killed a CEO and not a person, I’d acquit him.
If I became president, I’d pardon him.
If I became president, I’d pardon him AND give everyone a free yo-yo
I fuck yeah! One Duncan butterfly please.
I want mine to be a transparent blue and light up when I’m yo-ing.
Also, can I get a helmet.
We have Top People working on that right now. It is a major priority for my administration.
I do not take yo-yos lightly.
Kinda funny how when Trump pardons criminals everyone gets mad but here when someone suggests doing the exact same it’s totally fine (because this guy’s on our side…)
Kinda funny that you can’t distinguish between criminal and hero. You need book to tell you who is bad and who is good
This is the issue though. You say he’a a hero and the other half of the population say he’s a criminal. What makes you right and them wrong? Or the other way around?
If he is indeed guilty then that does make him a criminal by definition. As for being a hero, that’s subjective. One can be both a criminal and a hero.
Pardons haven’t only been issued by Trump. They exist because context and extenuating circumstances are important.
Just because they can be abused doesn’t mean every pardon is corrupt.
