    The problem is, anything Luigi related is actively being memory holed right in front of our eyes. Every big social media has either shadowbanned or hard banned the word “Luigi”, and “mario brothers”. The news all stopped reporting on him and people doing things related to him at the same time a few months ago. They\re very scared of what Luigi has done and they want us to go back to fighting their manufactured “culture war” bullshit so regular people don’t develop any sense of Class Consciousness.

      Reddit just suspended me for liking too many pro-Luigi posts.

      X also bans or shadow bans people randomly for supporting Luigi.

      Same for Instagram, Facebook, and many others. Even Tiktok has suspended people for supporting Luigi.

      I love the movement, but let’s be real here. He killed this guy on camera. The CEO killed thousands more and got what he deserved, but I rather try to eat the rich first, then resort to higher measures second.

        so you saw his face when Thompson was shot?

        I’m not talking about all that came out after they caught Luigi.

        isn’t it funny how they didn’t know who the guy was and immediately presented all the evidence publicly on the news to prove his guilt within 24 hours of taking him into custody?

        I wish I could say I’ve seen sloppier work, but that’d be a lie.

        • George Floyd
        • Michael Brown
        • Sonya Massey
        • Breonna Taylor

        All these victims were judged negatively in the court of public opinion before they even had a case number attributed to them. Their guilt or innocence aside, the general public had already made up their mind on what they did based on the narrative mainstream media sold them.

        in the case of Luigi, public opinion can’t be swayed as easily so they delay, deny, defend.

        hope you enjoy your two minutes of hate, fellow citizen.

      Note that the trial was delayed from mid March to mid April at the defendants’ request to give them more time to prepare their case. That’s the latest update I know of.

          Are they? I just googled him and it seems to be a pretty neutral selection of news article, Wikipedia and even the mentioned link was link four or five (depending how you count the the first news section)

          PS: I’m from Austria, maybe it’s different in the US

    since when do shooters get the dead penalty? does this ever happen when the victim is not a rich CEO?

      Don’t forget the terrorist charge so they can arrest sympathizers with just that alone.

      Depends on political affiliation. If you’re shooting black people protesting, you get the talk-show penalty.

      Mistrial doesn’t mean he gets out. It means that the trial starts over. He gets out with a not guilty verdict, and he gets out if the judge dismisses all the charges with prejudice (which can happen when there’s egregious prosecutorial misconduct, or gross violations of 4A rights).

    Kind of surprised no one has taken a shot at the prosecutors yet. The right wing is always making death threats like that, seems.
