Why be bothered with doing it right since all you want is punishment regardless of how they get there?
I’m guessing you won’t be on that jury.
mmm
Southern people love them some lynching, she can’t really help it.
I believe Luigi Mangione should receive a fair trial and be promptly acquitted by a jury of twelve people who have been screwed over by the health insurance industry.
And I believe you should fuck right off with the jury nullification bullshit that you bring into every single fucking thread on the topic in what is becoming a clear pattern of trying to derail them.

… thus ensuring that the USA, even in these uncertain times, is firmly established as a nation governed by the rule of law. 
It is pretty amazing to have pro-lynchers on both sides of a argument.
Like you said, (imagined) lynching is a popular pastime among certain elements of the population, and not just in the South. Fortunately, most of these people are gormless cowards who don’t have the stones to follow through on their fantasies of vigilantism and subverting jurisprudence.

Because when you’re on the losing side of a civil cold war, the most important thing that matters is preservation of norms.
Let him(her) be rich?
Versus just killing people in the street in extrajudicial fashion because it satisfies some bloodlust even if it accomplishes nothing? Yes, let’s preserve the ‘norms’ of jurisprudence and law, and actually deal with the fundamental problem of politicians being bought and paid for by insurance and medical provider lobbyists rather than gunning down interchangeable management cogs in a machine that will grind on even if you rounded a bunch of c-suite execs up and lined them against the wall for summary execution.
Wealthy people can afford cake.

What a bizarre, totally fucked-up thing to say! WTF is a “civil cold war”? Sounds to me like something you made up to justify illegal things that you want to do or to wish for. These are the times when everyone should be calling out the illegal actions of government and working toward a return to norms, not the other way around, not trying to trash all of society and all social institutions in some catastrophic cleansing inferno and starting all over again, like it was 1776 again. Those are the ravings of a lunatic.
I figure if we can get all of the attention whores focused on one Pit thread then they’ll stop polluting the rest of the board, at least for a few breaths. Now, if we can just get @Aeschines, @aceplace57, @DrDeth, and @HoneyBadgerDC drawn into here…
I was going to say an idiot but if you want to give @Smapti the benefit of the doubt…

What we’ve been losing since November 5th.
It’s not 1776, it’s 1933. I thought the reason we didn’t like me was for not taking that seriously enough. Either I’m a fascist bootlicker for not believing that there’s never going to be an election in this country again, or I’m a lunatic for saying we should act like there won’t be. Can’t catch a break.
Non-answer.

Exactly what I said it was. The Trump regime has declared war on us and we’re losing.
