    Woah woah woah, slow it down, we don’t know if it was murder yet. For all we know it was self defence.

      I’m not sure what your point is. That’s why there’s a trial. A murder trial. To decide if he’s guilty. Nothing in the story claims otherwise. In fact, they go out of their way to point out that he has only been accused, not convicted.

        Exactly. The media—and people as a whole—need to stop automatically assuming he’s the killer. Even those who support him are still acting like he’s the one who did it. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

          He’s the wrong guy entirely. His build doesn’t look like those earlier NYPD photos showing the dude actually shooting the other dude. Not-Guilty. I think the NYPD picked up the wrong guy on purpose as an, “oops, I guess it’s a cold case now.”

      People generally don’t have time to whittle words about their attackers profession onto bullet casings in a shootout, and fabricating untraceable firearms generally isn’t something rich people do for self defence.

        Yes, but who has the time to do that when they’re playing Battletech at the same time as the murder? Which he totally was with me at that exact moment.

        Yes but no matter how obvious you think guilt is, eveyone has to go through a trial. Cops aren’t the judges or executioners.

        That’s merely your understanding of self defence.
        Other people like those in the jury may have a different understanding - and their understanding is more important here.

    In response to hearing about your 10,000+ individual donations, averaging under $30

    So if that doesn’t send a message, maybe another CEO to spell it out?

      Luigi hasn’t harmed any currently alive rich people, when he killed one another took their place.

      Epstein was a threat to Trump and a UK Prince, among others.

      Epstein had blackmail, and as such was still a danger to the rich, even in jail. On the other hand, Luigi was just some guy with a gun who got lucky, if they can lock him up for the rest of his life, he doesn’t pose any danger.

      I fear that we’re witnessing a concerted conditioning aimed at ensuring the suspension of habeus corpus. At this point, it seems to be a bipartisan theatrical effort. I reallllllly hope I’m just being paranoid because if I’m right, we have no concept of the hell that awaits us (I’m writing this from a quantum decryption proof VPN)

      Likely yes, but everyone has a right to a trial by a jury of their peers and, who knows?

      Political discourse is really poor in this country and they need all 12 to convict.

      I don’t really understand lemmy’s derision for this opinion.

      It’s the obvious outcome. Luigi might be a hero but he’s going to jail.

        I think the random spike in interaction specifically to downvote opinions, counter to wannabe revolutionary fuel, are suspicious af.

        TBH these luigi posts might just be a bunch of Tankies trying to convince us to start violence in the streets.

          When folks are dying so oligarchs can make billions, there’s already violence.

          But folks lionizing Luigi is what bothers you?

          Tbh, I had to look at your post history to be sure you weren’t a propaganda bot.

      This guy is going to spend decades in prison unless he starts running for president.

      People are advertising jury nullification, but that won’t clear him for the same reason that a McDonald’s employee would tell the cops where to find him.

      My fear is he’s going to be used to instigate the social unrest needed for project 2025 to reach it’s goal of suspension of habeus corpus by June 30th. That’s end game and the way they’re concentrating messaging against the judicial branch right now means they’re grinding toward the 6 month milestone right on schedule.

      The fact the most famous dems aren’t saying the above is chilling.

      What if we all got too comfy with our rights and values during lockdown and the tree is about to be shaken so violently that we’ll all be thankful for a low wage job in a few years? I guarantee that’s a bipartisan goal.

      Stay peaceful folks, the future demands it.

        There could be a legitimate conspiracy, for sure, but the Dems aren’t manufacturing this hell. The Dems wanted to tax the rich and socialize healthcare, we’ve just never believed them enough to give them the power.
