In December, Luigi Mangione was arrested for shooting health insurance executive Brian Thompson. Last week, Trump’s attorney general, Pam Bondi, announced that she was seeking the death penalty. It’s a highly unusual announcement, since Mangione hasn’t even been indicted yet on a federal level. (He has been indicted in Manhattan.) By intervening in this high-profile case, the Trump administration has made clear that it believes that CEOs are especially important people whose deaths need to be swiftly and mercilessly avenged.

So what are the odds of jury nullification on this case?

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That depends on whether or not jury nullification is in favor of billionaires....which it isn't. So it won't happen.

Ugh, Fender Strat- you're annoying me. I'm a Jackson Guitars kinda guy. Miss me with that single coil shit!

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Okay… I have to chime in here.

I’ll say- it entirely depends on the Strat, and it entirely depends on the player. For instance, Gilmour used a strat for the Comfortably Numb solos. Tell me of a guitar/guitarist that can sing better than that!

But if I had to pick, I’d say PRS are an overall best. It’s just that Mr. Gilmour will always be the exception to ALL of the rules.

DISCLAIMER: I am a bassist of 30+ years and I’ve never owned a fender product in my life.

Oh what I said wasn’t to exclude anyone else at all! SRV is amazing!

just that that solo in Comfortably Numb is legendary.

[–] Lolseas@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)
