Why not both?

For real: Let's not forget that it's still quite likely that he's being framed.

I read a good fan conspiracy theory, that it was a two man job they planned together, and they kind of looked alike- one dude did the deed, the other sloppily went on the run while the first one escaped. Luigi was the fall guy, but is actually innocent, and he can prove it in court, while the actual killer is chilling on a beach somewhere. And that would, allegedly, be why Luigi seems so relaxed about the whole thing. Because he knows he's gonna walk. Kind of like an inverse "The Life of David Gale" maneuver.

I don't know if I believe it, but it's surely a possibility, and it's an interesting take. :)

Like I unironically believe it. At first it was "of course he didn't do it" wink then I actually heard things about the case.

What? I don't get it. What's going on? Why is Luigi back in the limelight?

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 7 hours ago

He was never out. None of us were.

[–] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

Why shouldn’t he be. Allegedly.

[–] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What happened to the guy, anyway?

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

still being tossed around in court.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 7 hours ago

Yeah I think next time we see him is in his NY June 8th trial.

Idk how to describe it, but that's not Luigi's posture. That's the posture of someone much older and possibly foreign.

lol the Luigi is innocent people are so weird. It’s such a fringe theory that not even Luigi subscribe to it.

He did it, and hes a god damn hero and martyr for it. Don’t minimize his sacrifice and message.

It almost feels like a right wing conspiracy to take power away from Luigi and the people, to say “regular people can’t do this, it was a foreign spy and a massive coverup!” And give the power back to the government.

No, Luigi did it, just like you can and like every American should against ice and capitalism, but Americans are cowards. Luigi is an example of what you should be, not a stupid moron who is nothing but a fall guy.

He has pleaded not guilty, brother.
