Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Wow what a shit misleading title

How so? He plead guilty to guilty to federal stalking charges resulting in death, for which he will likely be sentenced to life in prison.

Yes, but his trail is famously a murder trail. When someone says "he plead guilty full stop" you assume it's to the murder charge.

for which he will likely be sentenced to life in prison.

I am guessing you are being sarcastic here, because I assume it is not common to get life in prison for stalking. Even one resulting in death.

Anyways I am not a lawyer, but it is obvious from the beginning of the trail that he is being made example of.

P. S. I don't think vigilantism is a good thing, but the extreme that one can be pushed to when met with so unjust justice system.

I am not. From a CNN article "Federal sentencing guidelines suggest a range of 24 to 30 years in prison. However, because the stalking resulted in death, federal prosecutors intend to seek the maximum sentence of life in prison. His federal sentencing is scheduled for December 18, 2026."

Not sure why you're down playing the seriousness of this news. If you're still holding onto hope that Luigi is going to get a slap on the wrist or something, I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
