I think Luigi needs to do more speaking out. He needs to run for office once he's acquitted.

If there's any sign of that happening, they'll definitely kill him

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago

He has already shown he would die for our rights. If he would be good with it i would still vote for him.

He should run for president then immediately claim immunity based on the courts trump rulings.

Is there a law against running for office while imprisoned?

Eugene Debs ran for president while in prison for sedition for speaking out about the draft during WWI

Ferb, I know what we're going to do today

Missing something here. How are the feds prosecuting for murder when murder has always been a state charge? In any case, is this not double jeopardy?

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think because he fled across state lines. It seems like a stretch to me, but I am not a lawyer.

Not that much of a stretch. Since a state may refuse to arrest someone who committed a crime in a different state if they are sympathetic to said crime (especially a concern when USA was split between slavery and anti-slavery states), the feds can have jurisdiction in these cases, since otherwise it may involve a dispute between states. It makes at least some sense...

If you want to see a real stretch (aka completely made up bullshit), look up how feds justify growing marihuana for your own consumption (not sale) somehow involves interstate commerce.

Double jeopardy does not apply to facing federal and state charges under the dual sovereign doctrine. It does not really make sense, but that's the law.

[–] Sunshine@piefed.ca 33 points 4 days ago

It is banned in most countries. Poor man had to be in America.

Didn't a judge dismiss terrorism charges?

[–] uss_entrepreneur@startrek.website 49 points 4 days ago (1 children)

At the state level yes. This is for the federal charges.

I love how a ceo dies and its federal charges, but a podcaster dies in front of people and even though he's getting way more support as of yet its not federal

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

The feds haven’t found a way to blame trans people for that one yet.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago

he was getting too much support from the right wingers too, so MSM did thier best to not report about luigi.

[–] bluemite@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

Has nobody told him the constitution doesn't matter anymore?

[–] Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

Why's he doing the zoolander face though?
