within the public stockades festooned with Christmas ornaments beside the bull of Wall Street?

That earlier perp walk display is going to earn him a mistrial at best and a jury nullification at worst for the prosecutors--and that is before the jury considers the overcharge of terrorism (when we don't even have a specific Federal DOMESTIC terrorism statute).

They are certainly giving his lawyers a lot to work with (and it appears he has very good lawyers more than ready to take all this on).

(which I figured would be filed but was also surprised had been done FIRST) and for Adams to tail that parade of folks was a bit odd but I guess as a former cop, it's habit...

I guess this is what happens when 50% of Congress doesn't do their jobs and deliver the laws we need to hold for-profit healthcare accountable.

Other people get gunned down like dogs all the time and there is no multistate manhunt or terrorism charge. 1 CEO for once. Boo fucking hoo. The 50 armed guard perpwalk seemed designed to make him look like a supervillain from Batman instead of some actual dude who committed a crime. Gimme a fuckin break. It all goes to show who matters and who doesn't in this country.

The really insidious thing is that as you say they act like the victim's life in this shooting was meant more than your run of mill hundred or so people who are gunned down every day in this country. Add to that the tabloid superhero coverage of this lunatic Mangione only adds to his hero status amongst the morons in this country who think the murder was somehow justified. It is a perfect example of what's wrong with the corporate media in this country, divide, concur and appeal to the country's lowest instincts and ideals.

unless they can find a jury of folks over 50 who have wonderful private insurance and have never had claims denied. Finding a jury for this is going to be ridiculously difficult.
