  1. How much is the NY mayor worth? Been noticing a strong correlation between silver spoons up asses and politics.

  3. And the worst way too cuz it made him look cool lmaoo 

  5. Considering he’s had like 4 fucking photo shoots since being arrested, I would say yes!

  7. New York in its majestic equality, will spend vast amounts of resources on the suspect of a CEO killer, regardless of the ethnicity of that CEO.

    (Offer may not apply below a certain net worth)

  8. Of course he is, it’s the perfect opportunity to take the spotlight off his own scandals

  9. If you want a fair trial you definitely maybe shouldn’t piss off everyone who may be on the possible jury before the trial happens.

  10. Ooof watching his lawyer speak was SPICY! Let’s go Karen Agnifilo!

  11. To be fair, EVERYONE whether for or against him is politicizing his arrest.

  12. Well, I could have told you that. Hell, maybe I should be a lawyer.

  13. Stating the obvious. Why would Mayor Adams need to be a visible part of the NY perp walk for the accused, who was extradited to NY *after being arrested in Pennsylvania because of a tip from a McDonald’s worker in Pennsylvania*?

  14. So fucking gross the way the NYPD/FBI/DOJ/DHS etc all conspired for this, yet so goddamn predictable.

    This is how a fragrantly fascist government operates.

    The fascist state, which is comprised of both parties and exists to protect bloodthirsty big business CEO’s and the capitalist machine, and uses militarized police for that – all while waving the flag and mumbling about “our American values,” depends upon major showcases of force, threat and intimidation.

    This was about manufacturing consent in the population. Corporate media has always worked hand in glove with police. They don’t want you to look around and see the sky high approval ratings Mangione has; “just look and listen to what we,” the authorities say, “tell you and believe what we say.”

    But it’s not working anymore the 99%, who are beyond fed up with this system.

    The sleeping majority of citizens fucked over by this system for far too long have fully awakened in this Mangione Moment.

    Is this the dawning of a long overdue people’s revolution by a hitherto sleepwalking population who have been conditioned to believe that they have no say at all about anything substantial in their lives.

  15. Absolutely his arrest is being politicized. And it’s backfiring spectacularly. The amount of cops around him at all times is farcical and all it’s doing is proving just how badly the powers that be want to make an example of him. That the ultra-rich must never be threatened in their avarice and greed and the misery they cause.

  17. We noticed, mayor Adam’s will do anything to deflect from his own corruption 

  19. He’s simply currying favor with Trump for a presidential pardon

  20. With all this grandstanding by the local state and Feds officials I think a change of venue might actually be in order.

    Find a venue in a blue collar area.

  21. Every photo or video I see he is surrounded by the Dildo Squad.

  23. Of course he is. It’s a high profile case that has captured the interest of the nation. This will be a big dog and pony show throughout the process.

  26. Politicians, whether left, right, or anywhere in-between should be very circumspect in publicly opining on pending criminal cases if you ask me.

    Even Obama should have kept his trap a little more shut about some during his administration.

  27. How did NYC elect a corrupt ex-cop who works for the billionaire class to be mayor again?

  28. As a former state and federal prosecutor, his cases are absurd double jeopardy violations. NY state is charging him with 1st degree felony murder but because that state refuses to kill anyone the CEOs aren’t satisfied.

    So enter the US Attorney’s Office who then charges him with federal felony murder which carries a death penalty option.

    [https://www.justice.gov/jm/jm-9-10000-capital-crimes](https://www.justice.gov/jm/jm-9-10000-capital-crimes)

    But does NY drop the felony murder since the feds are indicting? Nope, both jurisdictions are charging him with two separate murder cases for one dead body. That’s some take-commands-from-the-oligarchy in front of our eyes in real. time.

  30. According to the DOJ shooting a healthcare CEO is terrorism but invading the nation’s capital in an attempt to overthrow the government isn’t. As if we needed another blatant example of how the legal system is two tiered in the US.

  31. Wants the spotlight off of him and his indictments. He has been a corporate suck up since he was police chief./Sup. A right wing suck up

  32. The peacocking of the NYPD is pretty sad. They’re boasting about one dude with a bunch of photo shoots when they didn’t do jack shit. He escaped the state and was reported to a completely different police department by some dude at McDonalds. Is that really something for them to be proud of when there are shootings occurring every day?

    Yes yes, I know. He killed a CEO who is apparently more important than the thousands of children who die every year from gun violence. It’s sad and pathetic.

  33. They peraded him around like they do villains in Gotham. No shit it’s politically motivated. I’m half expecting him to escape Arkham Asylum, paint himself blue, and get into a fist fight with Batman.

  34. He’s also a cop, himself. Can’t help but be seen around this, hoping to salvage his image. His chances of becoming the next “America’s Mayor” are pretty slim.

  35. Eric adams is a slimy bastard. He stole millions from new yorkers via campaign donation fraud and abused his position. He is also a serial liar and attention whore who doesnt care about new yorkers. Just know that if his lips are moving, hes lying.

  36. They need to get him on the stand to explain how they “had his name” before they arrested him.

  37. The judge is directly connected to UnitedHealth. We’re about to see how broken the justice system is, for those who don’t know already.
