Patrick Crusius had acknowledged he targeted Hispanics on Aug. 3, 2019, when he opened fire in the store crowded with weekend shoppers from the U.S. and Mexico in the border city of El Paso.

    This guy gets no death penalty, for opening fire on a crowd of innocent shoppers…but shoot a CEO, and its death penalty for you.

      Yeah. Plea deal vs trial. The only reason this guy didn’t get the death penalty is because they held it over his head to force him into the plea deal. If it went to trial they would seek the death penalty for sure.

        I think the larger issue is that Luigi will not be offered a deal. He will be made an example.

            How could they convict? Luigi doesn’t even look like the guy from the video. He looks like a saint to me. Not guilty!

          last we heard he was indicted on grand jury charges, they want to drag this as long as possible, so people will forget he exists, so they can fully charge him.

            I have many doubts about his guilt, but the rule of law is more important than any one crime. It is better for a guilty man to get a fair trial and go free than for an innocent man to be railroaded and unjustly punished. To me, it is obvious he has not received fair or just treatment under the law. It doesn’t matter to me if he is guilty or not, he should go free because the prosecution has poisoned the well.
