I'm usually a glass-half-full kinda guy but lately, I'm beginning to think that maybe what's left of this Country isn't worth fighting for anymore.
When a guy commits cold-blooded murder for the express purpose of making a political statement and the 'judge' decides, despite the overwhelming evidence, that it wasn't politically inspired.......
No, I;m not talking about Charlie.
Does this story really surprise anyone more than it disgusts/enrages and terrifies, especially in the wake of Charlie Kirk's heinous assassination. In all fairness, many of you thought at the time that the murderer would either get off scot-free or with some sort of slap on the wrist. Truth be told, even I thought that that wasn't going to happen and here I am with egg on my face:
A mob of leftists wearing green ‘Luigi’ caps and waving banners about ‘fascism’ celebrated, danced and hugged each other on a Manhattan street after terrorism and first-degree murder charges were thrown out against the leftist killer of a health care CEO.
Judge Gregory Carro argued that Luigi Mangione was wrongly being charged as a terrorist since the radical terrorist’s objective “was not to threaten, intimidate or coerce, but rather to draw attention to what he perceived as the greed of the insurance industry.”
Luigi’s means of drawing “attention” was murder which is the definition of terrorism.
The dozens of leftists crowding the narrow sidewalk outside the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse less than a dozen blocks from Ground Zero testified to the fact that Luigi Mangione was a political terrorist, part of a radical movement, killing on behalf of a larger cause. Why else was a mob wearing ‘Free Luigi’ t-shirts and caps associated with a Nintendo video game character hanging around an unappealing stretch of Center Street that not even a feeble attempt to stick a mostly unused park between the courthouses and government buildings could make livable.
