    Does everyone still feel the same if he turns out to be a neoreactionary / accelerationist?

    Per The San Francisco Standard

    Mangione gave Ted Kaczynski’s book “Industrial Society and Its Future” four out of five stars, writing that the man known as the Unabomber was “rightfully imprisoned” for “maiming innocent people” but noting that his actions were “those of an extreme political revolutionary.”

    Mangione’s social media accounts paint a picture of a tech enthusiast with a soft spot for conservative thinkers. He has retweeted posts from right-wing capitalists like Peter Thiel and lists an applauding biography of Elon Musk as one of his favorites on GoodReads.

      Have you seen his abs?

      Besides which, it’s difficult to say violence is wrong when we tolerate apatheticly so much systemic violence.

      And with the new administration we’re expecting to see so much more with mass deportations and killing our already meager social safety nets.

      We’re always three skipped meals from mass riots that overwhelm responders. It’s an exciting time to be alive.

      Yes. I don’t understand why the right will excuse pedophilia and mass murder, but the left will throw somebody under the bus if the follow the wrong person on shitter.

      Applaud the actions, do not create a hero. Nobody will live up to those expectations for everybody.

      He comes from money, he won’t be needing free legal help.

      https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp9nxee2r0do

      "He attended a private, all-boys high school in Baltimore, called the Gilman School, according to school officials. Mr Mangione was named as the valedictorian, which is usually the student with the highest academic achievements in a class.

      He comes from a prominent family in the Baltimore area whose businesses include a country club and nursing homes, according to local media.

      He is reportedly the cousin of Republican state lawmaker Nino Mangione."

        Hey genius… Ben Crump is a free lawyer off the internet. Maybe instead of shooting down offers to help you take your head out of your ass.

        Any paid Manhattan attorney has more in common with the CEO. This guy needs a real street fighter. Not some prissy bitch.

        I like that, but there is a major problem with it, and it’s around 2:49 in the video:

        Do you have any beliefs that might prevent you from making a decision based strictly on the law?

        Grey suggests that saying “No” with intent to nullify is lying, and therefore perjury. He is wrong. Where legislated law and constitutional law come into conflict (and they do in all cases of nullification), it is your duty to strictly follow constitutional law. You must judge the case as a layperson. You are constitutionally obligated to follow your own sense of rationality. That means if legislated law provides an undesirable outcome, you are obligated to “strictly follow [constitutional] law”, and refuse to convict under a lower law.

        I can honestly claim to have no beliefs that would prevent me from making a decision based strictly on the law. The 6th Amendment is part of the law, and the 6th amendment requires and empowers me (as a juror) to make whatever decision I determine is appropriate.

            And they would respond “You are excused, with our thanks”.

            Don’t get creative. The only correct answer is “no”.

              I had half a day to think about it when they were selecting jury for a DUI case. I’d rather speak my mind freely for the jurors they’ve already selected, who are present during the full selection process. Normally one might think context doesn’t matter but DUI laws can also apply to a bicycle, which is a perfect candidate for being nullified by the jury.

                  Yeah but I also didn’t really want to be on the jury that much. And I didn’t get called up anyway.

          Earlier in the video he stated that the jurors cannot be punished for their decision, this applies if the outcome results in perjury.

            We aren’t talking about the decision. We are talking about voir dire. You certainly can be charged and convicted of perjury if you lie during voir dire.

            But again: it is not a lie to remember that the 6th Amendment right to a trial by jury of peers (as opposed to professional jurists) is constitutional law. It supersedes any legislated law, or any directive provided by any court. I hold no beliefs that might prevent me from making a decision strictly in accordance with the law.

      Careful, in case you haven’t heard, discussing jury nullification is apparently against the rules of lemmy.world. SMH (at lemmy.world admins).

        The pinned post on lemmy.world right now clarifies that discussing jury nullification for crimes that have already happened, such as this, is perfectly acceptable. It’s only discussing it with respect to crimes which have not yet been committed which is against the TOS.

            If you plan some violence and include jury nullification as some viable part of the plan, and publish that shit online, not only is it kind of useless and lousy opsec, but it will attract heat that is unwanted and unnecessary. It’s literally a conspiracy to undermine nullification at that point, like a false flag. So no, don’t do that, and I back the mods on this.

          If you trust them after having enforced an unwritten policy and still not allowing discussion of something that’s perfectly legal.

        They are certainly empowered to do that, just as I am empowered to block any instance I don’t want to participate in. If they are not tolerant and respectful of my beliefs (even if they don’t share them) then I don’t want to contribute to their community either.

        Layperson juries are a fundamental component of criminal justice. The law exists to serve the people, not the lawyers, not the government. Rejecting jurors for understanding the purpose of having a layperson jury fundamentally violates the rights of the accused in particular, and society in general.

    Mr Mangione worked as a data engineer for TrueCar

    Looks like TrueCar had a decent Aetna plan in his state.

    I was sure this shooter was on United Healthcare.

    I admit I’m kinda disappointed. He pulled out almost perfect assassination that looked well thought out, managed to get away with only a few hickups in his plan as far as his face is considered, and then walks around with a murder weapon and a manifesto in his bag? Shame, really. All he needed was to lay low for a while, grow a beard and he’d probably be OK.
