According to the Left, the death penalty is unfair, unjust, immoral, and

Unless you have the opportunity to walk up to a rich guy you don't
like on
the sidewalk and shoot him in the back. The only form of the death
penalty
that's okay for the Left is the form that doesn't include a judge,
jury, or
court, and where the executed person has not been charged with, convicted
of, or even accused of any specific crime.
 
This is the actual position of millions of leftists in this country.
Not a
straw man. It's what they believe.

 
Why do you presume Mangione's fandom is "leftist" exclusively?

 
Because you leftist types love anything that can be portrayed as a blow
against capitalism and assassinating a CEO absolutely SCREAMS "Down with
Capitalism!"

 
The only people I see supporting Mangione were just average people on
Twitter. While I'm sure some would be considered on the left I
couldn't tell you if they were all on the left or just partly on the
left. I don't see any media types on the left or right supporting him.

Taylor Lorenz, of Washington Post, said she felt joy when she heard who the
victim was.

No idea who that is. What else did she feel? It's possible to feel joy
over something that you consider wrong and then feel guilt over that
momentary happiness. Whether that happened in Ms. Lorenz case is
unknown.
