The 26-year-old had a three-page document with writings suggesting that he had “ill will toward corporate America,” police said.

Cue the next three months of continuous 24/7 media smear destroying his entire family and anyone remotely connected to him to make an example out of the man who dared show an ounce of resistance against the capital holders. Regardless of whether he is found to be the perpetrator or not.

I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t die by “suicide” mysteriously.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They got Epstein while he was in solitary and on suicide watch.

“ill will toward corporate America,”

The only difference between him and everyone else not part of the elite is that he wrote it down and police found it.

He stopped a mass murderer running amok

Is there anything normal people can do to support him? Any bail/defense fund set up?

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Post bills about jury nullification all over NYC

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Even better if the jurors leak and we can contact them directly

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only if there's no intimidation, and simply education.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course not intimidating. Only reassuring the jurors that they understand that they can refuse to convict for any reason, including just because they feel like it, even if the evidence is overwhelming

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jurors can be excused by the judge if there is evidence that they are either being coerced or have an alternative agenda. But that's really rare.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a mistrial to me

[–] ramsorge@discuss.online 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Copycat and throw off the scent.

[–] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 1 year ago

If it is a copy cats that's strong conviction.

He will get charged with something for this... It would be beautiful if he had an alibi.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's not surviving to a court date

A Michael Reinoehl situation most likely

[–] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 12 points 1 year ago

ill will toward corporate America

No way to know why anyone would feel in such a way.

I believe it's a witch hunt in search of a scapegoat. I can't wait until they provide a "voluntary confession" from the poor bastard. The system will do anything to ensure the continuation of the system.
