The 26-year-old suspect in the New York City shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been indicted on federal charges.
Luigi Mangione was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury on one count of murder with a firearm, another firearms offense and two counts of stalking. If convicted as charged, he would be eligible for the death penalty.
I’m calling it now: they’re pursuing federal charges so that they can get him into federal custody and then rendition him to CECOT.
Everybody knows he’s enough of a public hero that there’s 0% of him getting convicted by a jury, so the fascists are taking steps to destroy him without one.
I don’t think CECOT wants a person that popularly represents an act of rebellion and defiance. They need faceless individuals who are already in the margins to abuse, not celebrity.
