Realistically? It’s far more likely that they’re trying to send a message considering how many people have elevated this dude into hero status. In their minds, if he’s not put down, a trend is likely to bet set.

It’s because the elite got afraid and they need to set an example now so that the masses don’t get stupit ideas.

Exactly! They’re trying to stop the revolution before it has a chance to start.

(Verse 1) When the kids hit the floor, but they ask us for more, That’s Amer’ca. When the lives of the poor are ignored by the law, That’s Amer’ca.

(Chorus) Watch them plead, watch them die, while the courts close an eye, That’s Amer’ca. If the rich man falls, then the gallows will call, That’s Amer’ca.

(Verse 2) You can slaughter a class, and they’ll let it all pass, That’s Amer’ca. But for one CEO, they’ll demand death row, That’s Amer’ca.

(Chorus) Where the guilty walk free, and the children just bleed, That’s Amer’ca. If your crime’s against power, you’re gone in an hour, That’s Amer’ca.

(Bridge) It’s a system of lies where the powerless die, And their screams hit the sky, unanswered, denied, That’s Amer’ca.

(Outro) So remember the game, it’s a broken refrain, That’s Amer’ca. When a life’s worth is weighed by the dollars displayed, That’s Amer’ca.

I hope you intended this to be to the tune of “that’s amore” because that’s what happened in my head

It’s a bit absurd to me to compare the charges to the end result.

What are some examples of school shooters in a capital punishment state (or who were charged federally) whose prosecutors did not try to pursue a death sentence?

Right, I was asking for a school shooter whose prosecutors did NOT try for death sentence. That’s the weird implication made by the post’s image.

The age/race/economic level/crimes/charges/verdicts graph is one that is…intriguing in a scientific sense and likely necessary to show in crayon picture form to the next administration, but god DAMN do I not want to be the statistician that researches all that.
