Jack Posobiec used Monday’s Human Events Daily broadcast to slam court rulings in New York tied to the Luigi Mangione case, arguing that judges are allowing key evidence and arguments to be excluded in ways that could affect the trial.
He started by describing what he sees as a broader trend in the city’s courts: “New York City is apparently rapidly legalizing murder, and not just any murder, assassinations. Yes, assassinations, because if your name is Luigi Mangione and you go and commit an assassination in cold blood on a New York City street of an innocent man and shoot them in the back in a way that does not provide you with any self-defense right or claim whatsoever, a judge will still rule for you. A judge, and in fact multiple judges, will say 'you know what, maybe we can't allow certain evidence into the trial. Maybe, you know, maybe we shouldn't allow certain arguments to be made. Maybe, you know, some of the things that the police did—did they search the backpack in the McDonald's or did they search it in the police station, you know, these are very important distinctions and they really have to go in and give us an understanding of how this case came to be.' Because that's what New York City is doing, and that's what this judge, Gregory Caro, is doing.”
Posobiec then focused on specific court decisions from Caro, saying, “he has made, by the way, a series of rulings, a series of rulings in the Mangione case. I'm sorry guys, this guy, I don't like him. I don't like this judge. I don't like where he's coming from. I don't like the cut of his jib, this guy is a leftist and when you look at the twisting that goes around, the play of games the way that 'oh well you know he made that statement to police before he was mirandized even though he wasn't in custody because the police had him surrounded so you can't use this statement and you can't use that statement, improper warrant.' They called it unconstitutional because the police searched his backpack inside a McDonald's to make sure he didn't have weapons or anything threatening in there.”
He went in on evidence recovered in the case, saying, “And oh by the way, he did have a weapon in there. He had a gun in the backpack, the same gun that he used to kill Brian Thompson, it's on video, and he had a manifesto in there spewing full of his liberal Marxist ideology for why he killed a white Christian man, a husband and a father of two boys, in cold blood.”
Posobiec also criticized media coverage and commentary around the case, saying, “he got the New York Times up there with Hasan Piker talking about 'oh well he committed social murder because he ran a company and the company had done wrong and all the right'—no, no, no, you don't run a society like this. You don't allow things like this to occur in your society, and when people become animals and act like animals, like Luigi Mangione did, you execute them and you do so publicly, after a trial, you do so publicly so that everybody else who thinks that they might try it gets to see as well.”
He concluded the segment by warning about what he called broader cultural trends, saying, “What do we have in America? We have assassination culture gone crazy. There's a musical about Mangione. It was in San Francisco, they're talking about bringing it to New York, they might even hold it a couple blocks away, they might even hold the musical just a couple blocks away from where Luigi Mangione's victim bled out on the street.”
He closed by saying, “They are normalizing political violence because they want it.”
