This image is so ridiculous. Like he’s a danger so much that it took a platoon of people to parade this dude in cuffs. He allegedly killed one dude, he didn’t EAT the guy. It was blatantly obvious for everyone that this was a show of force, and it ironically makes them look weak as fuck.
You want me to respect your strength? Go put handcuffs on Trump. The rule of law is broken. The weak suffer the most and the rich pay to stay out of it.
I’m not a violent man. A death of another human is a complicated introspection for most people. Then there are others who don’t even consider the value or even a difference in perspective. Luigi is not some psychopath. Allegedly, he deliberately chose impact at the highest level he could. The representation of a broken and predatory system. It’s not ok that faceless entities who aren’t doctors can choose the life and death choices over the recommendations of doctors.
Stop saying this shit.
Thank you! Everyone has been saying this and it's so cop-brained that it's frustrating.
They have not proven that he killed anyone. He is innocent until proven guilty. When you accept that he actually did anything before he is convicted, you are aiding the police's and prosecutor's job by making the assumption that arrest = guilt.
Yep. He didn't do anything. Innocent into proven guilty.
If you want to be accurate, he was the primary suspect of the CEO shooting.
Why, is the court going to use random Lemmy comments as evidence?
It's about being factual. Let's not make this Reddit 2.0 with bs.
Reddit is where the wackos who will cancel you for suggesting any hint of "guilt" are! How is this any different? You can think the guy did it without believing he is guilty of murder or manslaughter.
Also yes. Reddit is terrible at decided how crimes must have happened from an AP article with nothing but the main people's names.
Police in the US don't investigate killings, they find a person they feel comfortable pinning it on, and hope the trial works in their favor. We really don't know if this guy is the guy who shot someone, and NYPD has a long history of picking the wrong person to accuse based on their bias and not on facts or evidence. There's every possibly he's actually, in fact, innocent. So far all we've been told offically is largely circumstantial.
Why, are you in favor of spreading misinformation?
this. I am tired of people saying "what if someone sees it!?" Because potential jurors are browsing reddit Luigi fan forums, a rando Lemmy server, Instagram Luigi fan accounts, or rando substack comments all at the same time. People are allowed to have opinions about the case. I think he did it. I don't think he committed murder. He did a service and sacrificed himself. That's the whole reason for the season.
That is what gets me, all these people who need guns and such to feel strong and tough. The pirates did that. The purpose of the Jolly Roger was to instill fear, but ultimately they wanted the other ship to surrender quickly and without a fight. Pirates were all about show to make victims be afraid of them. But ultimately they were just men in poor health.
