This story seems to have faded in the wake of events ad nauseam. We are all aware of Senor Luigi. However, most folks can’t recall the full name of the guy that allegedly Luigi gunned down. Mission accomplished.

    It is impressive how scared the wealthy elite are of this man and what he did.

    He must be aquitted so they finally understand they’re not untouchable. Someone might kill them for the shit they pull.

    That’s the guy responsible for fixing most of the bugs in civ VI. And there is evidence he did that.

    He’s also been baselessly accused of shooting some twat. So the federal prosecution is waiting for people to forget about him so they can drag him through a kangaroo court and murder him for political reasons.

    I think the guy he allegedly killed, had a name that started with… I think it was a d? David? Derek? Dddddouchebag. Douchebag, yeah. I think the person that died was a massive douchebag.

    That seems right to me …

    Takes a while to get a jury together. The legal system is very slow, even in easy cases; and trying to find an unbiased jury makes it even harder.

      they will go through a ton of jurors before they will seat one. they needs one dumb enough to be swayed easily by either side. both the defendant and prosecutors are only limited to amount of jurors that strike from a group during jury summons, so they are looking at biases for him and remove them. what they really want is the ones that dont read the news much, or retireers.

        Especially since I was hanging out with Luigi all evening and into the morning, during the time he allegedly was killing some guy.

        Clearly he couldn’t have done it, we were hanging out.

          That’s a fair point but it is the state’ job to prove their case to throw a jury and their dragging feet and doing fucky shit. After spending a month or two litigating the case in media.

          They acted like it was a proven fact that he did it… They gonna need to convince the public now beyond chain of trust me bros

            TBF there is a lot of evidence against him, such as his social media history, book reviews about how “protesting doesn’t work”, the murder weapon and bag full of $20k, complete lack of alibi, and his traveling in the opposite direction of the crime discreetly by hopping bus to bus.

    I don’t watch mainstream media, but Status Coup News does follow his case and updates when something happens.

    From what I understand, lawyers found a major issue with how he was apprehended. Apparently he wasn’t read his rights before they started taking action, so a fair bit of evidence they have against him may need to be thrown out.

    Also they decided to pursue the death penalty way too fast, among other injustices.

        There is a general lack of body-cam footage to back up the cops follwing procedures and the timing of evidence being collected is suspect at best.

        Overall, there are enough holes in the narrative that was reported to the media that luigi being a scapegoat is not an unreasonable stance.

    Nobody really cares about the guy who died, despite corporate media insisting on our sympathy for months. They figured out we can’t be fucked about the sorry sonofabitch, so they’re hoping we forget about the whole business while trying to censor talk of LM off of all major social media platforms. Sure does help that so much news and social media are owned by the same fuckers.

      Corporations already forgot about the dead CEO shortly after they replaced him and the new guy presided over stock value decreases and lowered forecasts. The only people that care now is the press looking to generate views with sensational news and district attorneys or AG’s trying to please their wealthy overlords for reelection.

    The media understands that giving him any exposure will make people think about his motives, and might generate similar acts from others. The best strategy to keep people from “looking up” instead of looking left/right is to not expose anyone to the idea.

        They glorify mass shootings to perpetuate more mass shootings. There are many mass shooters who cite other mass shooters as their reason to do a mass shootings. A lot of independent groups no longer show names or say the name of the perpetrator, only their victims, as a result of that trend.

        Speaking of media coverage, notice how when an AR-15 is used they always state so, usually in the headline. A shooting with any other gun? Nah.

        Remember the vet who went nuts in Maine and murdered a bunch of people? I had to dig to find what weapon he used. It was an AR-10. Know what an AR-10 is? Most folks have never heard of one. (It’s basically an AR-15.)

        Now why in the world would our billionaire media owners want to turn our opinion against the best multipurpose rifle in the world?

        Anyway, what was the original post about?
