Didn't trump claim he could shoot someone in the streets of New York and get away with it? Maybe it was him.

It's hard to imagine Trump riding a bike.

Perhaps the 9mm pistol is the guillotine of the next American revolution.

NGL if there were copycat crimes targetting other health insurance CEOs, most people would probably herald the vigilantes.

Yeah murder is bad and all but these guys are responsible for so much death and pain and suffering for making a profit.

Killer here is a legit antihero. Like Dexter Morgan. In the earlier seasons.

Really I'm just picturing the scene in Dogma where Matt Daemon and Ben Affleck drop in on a Mooby's board meeting and kill nearly all of them.

Makes sense. 9mm is protected under the second amendment. And our incoming VP says that shootings are a way of life.

Jury nullification, also known in the United Kingdom as jury equity, or a perverse verdict, is when the jury in a criminal trial gives a verdict of not guilty even though they think a defendant has broken the law. The jury's reasons may include the belief that the law itself is unjust, that the prosecutor has misapplied the law in the defendant's case, that the punishment for breaking the law is too harsh, or general frustrations with the criminal justice system. Some juries have also refused to convict due to their own prejudices in favor of the defendant. Such verdicts are possible because a jury has an absolute right to return any verdict it chooses. Nullification is not an official part of criminal procedure but is the logical consequence of two rules governing the systems in which it exists:

  1. Jurors cannot be punished for passing an incorrect verdict.

  2. In many jurisdictions, a defendant who is acquitted cannot be tried a second time for the same offense.

A jury verdict that is contrary to the letter of the law pertains only to the particular case before it; however, if a pattern of acquittals develops in response to repeated attempts to prosecute a particular offence, this can have the de facto effect of invalidating the law. Such a pattern may indicate public opposition to an unwanted legislative enactment. It may also happen that a jury convicts a defendant even if no law was broken, although such a conviction may be overturned on appeal. Nullification can also occur in civil trials; unlike in criminal trials, if the jury renders a not liable verdict that is clearly at odds with the evidence, the judge can issue a judgment notwithstanding the verdict or order a new trial.

Would the CEO have lived if he had had a gun?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That requires a good guy with a gun, so no.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

and in this case, the good guy did have and shot the gun
