Kill 24 normal citizens in a mass shooting in a Walmart, plea deal. Allegedly Kill 1 billionaire, death penalty
In Texas, you can shoot a guy in a wheelchair in between child molestations and the Governor while shake your hand while he pardons you.
Until of course the guy in the wheelchair is the Governor.
Governor Hotwheels
I don't think a child molester deserves as cool of a name as hotwheels
I have zero idea whether this is sarcasm or not.
Before Daniel Perry Murdered a Man at a Black Lives Matter Protest, He Was Arrested on a Charge He Assaulted His Sister
Thats fucking crazy. Every single time I think the US can't go further, I'm wrong. For like... the past 15 years.

You: the US can't go any further
The US: challenge accepted!

As long as the guy in the wheelchair isnt the governor.
I don't think he was a billionaire. But his job was a nasty one that did please billionaires.
Indications seem to be high 8 to low 9 figs. There is a fucking ocean between "not billionaire" and "average guy". Also, obligatory fuck Brian Thompson.
Fuck him indeed. He got what was coming to him. I had no idea who he was until he was shot and I instantly hated him.
He was nasty. No one who isn't could have done that job.
thompson was a low level ceo, but still he implements the denial policies. the head ceo is ANDREW WITTY, and the bod is hemsely, both british. WITTY made those asinine comments about the healthcare after his death
NYC doesnt have death penalty, so its unlikely he will get one. they want at least life or manslaughter charges on him.
He's been indicted on state charges in NY, and also Federal charges, so he will be tried twice for the same crime, no matter what the NY trial decides. He can't be executed for the NY state charges, but he can be executed by the Feds.
So conceivably he could be found not guilty in NY, and still get executed by a Federal court.
He rejected the plea deal. Taking a plea deal means you forgo trial. Granted actual mass murderers received lesser sentences like LWOP.
