Dad, Husband, Gen-X, Hoosier. We hold these truths to be self evident, that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. This means EVERYONE! When the Law only protects the rich from the poor, or the majority from the minority, there is no justice. It's just us.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
"They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head."
An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

Democrats in Congress have thus far failed to make a stink out of Pam Bondi's ethical conflicts (some of which she tried to hide during confirmation), most notably w/GEO and Qatar. But Luigi Mangione's defense team may force that issue, claiming she had conflict bc of past ties to United Health.
from Ballard in the form of a profit-sharing plan from Ballard’s professional association with all
of its paying clients, including UHG. These benefits—along with the financial benefits the
Attorney General derived from Ballard while she was a partner and while the partnership divided
up revenue from UHG—show that the Attorney General has a personal and financial interest in
the work Ballard has done on UHG’s behalf. Further, as the Chairperson of Ballard Partner’s
Corporate Regulatory Compliance practice, the Attorney General knew or should have known that
UHG, the largest and richest health care company in the world with annual revenue of about
$400,000,000,000 (four hundred billion dollars), was one of her partnership’s clients, and that she
personally financially profited from Ballard’s lucrative relationship with UHG. 
When Ms. Bondi left Ballard Partners to become the Attorney General in 2025, the very
first defendant she personally selected to be executed was the man accused of killing the CEO of
her former client. The Attorney General’s financial connection to UHG represents a conflict of
interest that should have caused her to recuse herself from making any decisions on this case. Her
failure to do so clearly violated the due process rights of Mr. Mangione and provides yet another
reason why the Notice of Intent should be stricken.2

2This reply is limited to the due process implications of the Attorney General’s actions personally
directing the Department of Justice to seek the death penalty for the alleged murder of her former
client’s CEO. The defense will move separately to address the profound conflict of interest
implications of this situation. As part of that motion, we will seek discovery, including but not
limited to: all communications between UHG, UHC, and Ballard Partners with any employee or
representative of the U.S. Government relating to this matter; the terms of Ms. Bondi’s
compensation from Ballard, including the revenues that Ballard deri…
