Judge Gregory Carro said Mangione's lawyers have informed him they will attempt to show that he was suffering from “extreme emotional disturbance at the time of the occurrence.”

Isn’t that convenient? And what will all of his followers think about this? They see him as a hero for his valiant actions but claiming insanity will mean he is just another nut job. What a disillusionment!

>> “extreme emotional disturbance at the time of the occurrence.”

Ah, the old “I was VERY EXTREMELY SUPER pissed off at him, so I killed him” defense.

Due to his extreme empathy, Trump's America made him go starkers.

Luigi is going to have to explain how he conspired to kill Thompson,
stalked him, wrote a manifesto, ambushed and killed him, fled for
several days all while being under the influence of an uncontrollable
rage.

This was craftily pre-meditated. He stalked the CEO.

Exactly.

You’d think a full grown man would be ashamed to adopt such a womanly argument.

The transatlantic meaning of that word means something else. Spare us the pictures.

Mafia has traditionally been linked to the Democrat party. They saying in Rhode Island is that the state is run by a consortium of Catholic church, the mob, and the Democrat party.

“I’m nuts. Very attractive to women, to be clear, just nuts”.

Similar to the Blonde Defense.

Severe pain without any relief can indeed be psychologically traumatic. I was nearly bankrupt and suicidal due to nerve pain that was extended for years due to incompetent doctors and insurance. It was a miracle I came back but many people do not. People in such a situation can be very desperate and I suspect the reason so many hospitals have metal detectors now.

Imagine being a young man with a whole life to live and your treatment is being denied by an insurance company with record profits and CEO making many millions. While there is no other recourse and government thinks your suffering for profit is fine. You would be LIVID and do whatever it takes to end such a system

He needs to face the death penalty for what he did. No politics, no race, just justice.

I was young and now I am old. I have been mistreated for YEARS by liberal leftist Democrats and fired from jobs repeatedly because they hate conservatives. I have suffered beyond what you can understand and haven't conspired to kill anyone.

A man tried to steal my pickup in 2023 and I shot him in the parking lot during the attempt and hit him in the thighs (2 hits each leg from four shots) with 9mm hollow points. I specifically aimed low while shooting from the hip (tried to hit his kneecaps, but missed) to keep from killing him. I was no-billed and he was charged with attempted robbery. The state already let him out.

Mangioni is a pre-meditated murderer. Execute him.

Someone in extreme chronic pain would see you as blessed to have been able to work any jobs at all or even raise a weapon long enough to defend yourself. Compared to pain, democrats aint shit since you still have the ability to think clearly, fight back and do anything else you desire.

Many people live in agony unable to do any of these things or even think clearly. They are thrown away by the system literally into the streets when they are unable to work or get help. I cant tell you how many times I was treated like I was faking it and I didnt even ask for a single dollar in welfare.

I feel sorry for the sick people who truly need it to survive and the most surprising thing is that we don’t have many more Luigis acting out in violence...
