Someone, anyone....

Can anyone explain why this murder is so different than any of the other 1000's of murders in the US?

Why and how does this reach the Federal Murder level?

Luigi Mangione hit with federal charges, making him eligible for death penalty, as he arrives in New York

Federal authorities unsealed the complaint Thursday in the high-profile case, which will proceed in parallel with the New York case in which he’s facing 11-counts at the state level.

Because he plotted, planned, and crossed several state lines to commit the crime. Besides, like so many others, he may actually be brought to justice if tried federally. If tried in NYS, he’ll get Yankee tickets, a free cellphone, and given the key to the city.

Too many federal laws unconstitutionally usurping the rights of the states, usually resulting in a politically motivated federal show prosecution or is it persecution, which is a de facto Double Jeopardy, and I don't give a flying fuck about all the contrived legal bullshit arguments, its still Double Jeopardy!
If NY won't do the proper job then maybe enough voters will wake the fuck up and help get these filthy scoundrel's out of public service all together.

So, how is this Federal law? Crowing a State line makes it federal?

Plotting a crime makes it federal?

Planning and committing intrastate felonies can be taken over by the feds; so yes

Just digging into this..... Not arguing or sticking up for the suspected shooter...

Are you saying it is a Federal crime when a person leaves one State, goes to another and commits a crime?

It depends on the level of crime. Speeding across the border is not a federal crime. Speeding across three states being pursued by law enforcement after conducting a mass shooting can be. Planning a bombing, making the bomb, going to another state can become federal. Making it federal lessens the jurisdiction fights between states.

I just find it interesting that the Feds decided to get involved in this case....

Less than 1/10 of 1% of murders like this get charged at the federal level.

Gotta ask why now? Why this case? Because a wealthy was involved. Weird.

While this may be true I have to think its more because of who the victim was like @GOPerfect has mentioned.
Last year that dude from Nevada rented a UHaul in Florida then drove it to Brooklyn and decided to drive over people there. That panned out as a State crime not Fed. One might speculate it was because of his mental state at the time, but the shooter in this event does not appear to be in a proper mental state either.

Non-registered NFA item used in felony murder = federal charges.
