This is how you can tell he wanted to make a statement, he went after a Rich. If he was just looking to murder without it being a big deal he could have just killed a few dozen school children.

They're trying to make a martyr out of him, aren't they?
No they are trying to make an example of him, but just like most aspects of life they are hilariously out of touch with reality
It's one fucking CEO. Give him seven years. Suspended sentence.
Doesn't NY not even have the death penalty?? And over a grievance killing? Theres absolutely no way they get a death penalty verdict. If they force a death penalty on him there will be actual riots. They didn't even give the Buffalo mass shooting perp a death penalty. He murdered 10 black people in a supermarket in a targeted mass shooting based on hate and he gets to rot in a cell the rest of his life. This is an outrage, a complete mockery of justice.
The judiciary system is broken and corrupt AF, it itself is a mockery of justice.

But were any of them ultra rich job creators? Checkmate /s
Federal charge doesn't care if he's in NY
At least the CEO got the death penalty too. But his kill count was quite a bit higher than 1.
There is no such thing as Justice, not until the people take it ourselves.
Making him into a literal martyr does not seem wise
They want to make him a martyr? Let's make him a saint. Saint Luigi of Baltimore.
Yeah let's add religion into the mix, that never went wrong 👀
Patron Saint of Adjustors.
A penalty phase will drag out the trial. If NYC was smart, they'd give him a sweetheart plea just to get this man out of the news cycle.
They want this to drag out and make a production out of it to reassure their corporate donors that they have their backs.
I didn't say it was for no reason, just that it isn't smart.
We storming the Bastille then?
You leading the charge?
Just feels like we're at that point in history all over again
From their armchair.
No luigi is!
Hopefully people with terminal illnesses.
Seems like a stretch to file a federal murder charge when it was really only the stalking that can be argued as "cross state". Isn't federal murder charge usually reserved for serial killers or killers that transport the body across state lines?
