See, it’s not for publicity! Eric Adams is there to stop the public from freeing Luigi from law enforcement!

  Well, he didn’t say it wasn’t also for publicity. It clearly was.

The state trial against Mangione will come before his federal trial, prosecutors said.

WTF? I never heard about federal charges-- isn’t that double jeopardy?

Like the reporter said, they might be trying to make it so there are no copycats, but they clearly don’t understand the number of people that wouldn’t want to be making it out alive. Their trumped up charges aren’t a deterrent.

If I were USian, I’d be mega-pissed that they are making the CEO’s death out like Luigi killed the king.

  The federal charges might be the bullshit terrorism ones. Not double jeopardy because it’s a separate charge.

  Oh, I am. We’re teetering on the edge as it is and are scheduled to go straight off the cliff on Jan. 20th. Whatever next year brings, it’s going to be horrific.
