Trumptard legal defense - not guilty due to "mental disease or defect."

[Straw Man]

I'm sure this is true of most Trumptards

We had the Trump bomber and that idiot who went to Comet Ping Pong with a gun to save the children and now this idiot

How many more delusional Trumptards are out there ready to take up arms against the deep state and other perceived enemies of Trump

According to the defense, Comello tried twice in February to perform a citizen’s arrest of NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio. He also contacted U.S. Marshals to help him arrest U.S. Reps. Maxine Waters (D-Calif., 43rd District), and Adam Schiff (D-Calif., 28th District). Authorities, uh, didn’t help. (The Times said that law enforcement confirmed these incidents.)

I would not be suprised to learn that this dipshit posted on this board. 

Man suspected of gunning down reputed mob boss mistook him as 'deep state' figure

The New York man accused of gunning down a reputed mob boss believed his victim was a figure in the "deep state" and had planned on making a citizen's arrest, his defense lawyer claimed.

The March 13 slaying of Francesco "Franky Boy" Cali, a Gambino crime family underboss, was originally believed to be a mob hit.

But now it appears suspect Anthony Comello, 24, gunned down Cali in an off-base belief that the mob figure was "deep state," a secret organization out to take control of the U.S. government, defense lawyer Robert Gottlieb wrote in court papers filed Friday in a Staten Island court.

“He ardently believed that Francesco Cali, a boss in the Gambino crime family, was a prominent member of the deep state, and, accordingly, an appropriate target for a citizen’s arrest,” Gottlieb wrote, in support of Comello's defense by "mental disease or defect."

Comello, charged with second-degree murder, will also claim that he didn't plan to kill Cali. He actually wanted to take him into custody, but when Cali "made a furtive movement close to his waistband," that's when Comello opened fire, according to Gottlieb.

"Mr. Comello became afraid for his life," the defense lawyer wrote. "He reached into his vehicle, withdrew his gun and shot Mr. Cali in self-defense."

The "deep state" conspiracy theory has picked up steam in recent years thanks to the Qanon movement, which believes President Donald Trump is leading a winning battle against these sinister covert forces.

Qanon activists have become regular attendees at Trump rallies, often carrying cardboard Qs.

Comello killed Cali with the full belief Trump would support it, Gottlieb said.

“Mr. Comello became certain that he was enjoying the protection of President Trump himself, and that he had the president’s full support,” Gottlieb wrote.

At Comello's first court appearance on March 18, he had the phrases "MAGA Forever" and "United We Stand MAGA" scrawled across his left hand.

"Beginning with the election of President Trump in November 2016, Anthony Comello's family began to notice changes to his personality," the defense claimed.

"Mr. Comello, the defendant in this case, became increasingly vocal about his support for 'QAnon,' a conspiratorial fringe right-wing political group. But Mr. Comello's support for QAnon went beyond mere participation in a radical political organization, it evolved into a delusional obsession."

Cali, 53, was shot to death outside his home in the Staten Island neighborhood of Todt Hill. Comello allegedly rammed his GMC Sierra pickup truck into Cali's parked Cadillac Escalade, prompting the victim to come outside to investigate.

Comello had brought handcuffs to arrest Cali and take him "to the appropriate authorities to answer for the criminal actions which Mr. Comello believed he had taken part in," according to the defense.

Previously, Comello had sought to "arrest" New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and U.S. Reps. Maxine Waters and Adam Schiff, both Democrats from California, his defense said.

Cali was then shot 10 times, and Comello was caught a few days later in Brick, New Jersey.

how is posting a current news story about a Trumptard who lost his mind and who is attempting an "innocent by reason of mental disease or defect" plea equivalent to "whining" ?

If you're not interested in current events then don't bother reading it

I'm just trying to help out the Trumptards on this board with a cautionary tale about what happens when you believe the horseshit peddled by the right wing media

You're Welcome

Why do you answer posts in some of your threads and not all? It seems like you’d rather have discussions with idiots/trolls rather than letintimate conversation with people.

I post and then work and do other shit and sometimes don't even come back for a few days (especially true on the weekend)

Kind of hard to have a discussion with anyone on this board given that it's a right wing/Trumptard circle jerk most of the time

In his manifesto, the attacker echoes the language of Democratic Party congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has referred to the detention centres as “concentration camps” and increased her rhetoric against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers (ICE).

sorry but "concentration camps" is not a Democratic talking point no matter how much you wish it was

If these people were dogs the people who run these facilities would be guilty of animal cruelty

Since they are just poor brown people it seems the "sanctity of life" crowd has no problem with the inhumane way they are treated

Absolutely, 100% positively, in no way shape or form, do I have an issue with the way these criminals are treated.

[SOMEPARTS]

Some serious mental gymnastics to get from the factually correct "illegal aliens" to "undocumented migrants" to "asylum seekers" to now to the "poor brown people". That's some 1984 level wordplay right there. Total disintegration of the concept of citizenship and borders in the liberal mind.

Nobody was drawing the false equivalency to concentration camps, at least not on a national stage, until she did.  She was the driver of the term becoming mainstream.  Besides it being completely wrong,  calling them that undermines the legitimate efforts of our border sercurity.

Regardless, you offer no solution.  People crossing the border illegally at massive rates have to be dealt with, and right now this is the result.

Democrats called this a "manufactured crisis" originally, and only recently approved funds.

A stronger border would've prevented this.
