"Priase Luigi but, do you really think this midwit rich kid is going to start a revolution? If so, where is it? Isn't it a bit weird to be cheering for someone whose parent's money is going to get them off, something the rest of us could never dream of?"
Premeditated deliberate murder is a crime in the United States. We don’t make exceptions based on who the victim is or how much you like the defendant. That would be a dogshit justice system.
Yeah money and power get you off the hook on a lot of things unfortunately. First degree murder ain’t one of them when there is clear evidence that the defendant printed off a gun with the premeditated intent to kill, deliberately pulled the trigger with the purpose to kill. This isn’t Trump hush money, this isn’t assault, this isn’t manslaughter. Exceptions don’t happen for crimes like murder. Jury acquittals happen. Juries determine the government failed to carry the he burden of proof. But you have a slightly eschewed view of the court system if you think say Elon Musk does all of this with the same set of facts and would end up being not charged or something. Its the gravity of the crime combined with strong evidence and the sheer publicity of the event that makes it absurd to think an “exception” would be given to someone in Luigi’s position: btw for all the “exceptions” you are thinking of- go read those cases and determine the actual reason why those cases ended how they did. You might disagree with the courts but at least you’ll have something better to say than “yeah those rich people and celebrities are above the law.”
Uh I can have a different opinion. Here have this:
In our eyes, individual terror is inadmissible precisely because it belittles the role of the masses in their own consciousness, reconciles them to their powerlessness, and turns their eyes and hopes towards a great avenger and liberator who some day will come and accomplish his mission. The anarchist prophets of the ‘propaganda of the deed’ can argue all they want about the elevating and stimulating influence of terrorist acts on the masses. Theoretical considerations and political experience prove otherwise. The more ‘effective’ the terrorist acts, the greater their impact, the more they reduce the interest of the masses in self-organisation and self-education. But the smoke from the confusion clears away, the panic disappears, the successor of the murdered minister makes his appearance, life again settles into the old rut, the wheel of capitalist exploitation turns as before; only the police repression grows more savage and brazen. And as a result, in place of the kindled hopes and artificially aroused excitement comes disillusionment and apathy.
--Leon Trotsky
And you call me a bootlicker, with your little fucking popularity contest. While ahit gets worse, because people like Luigi aren't going to feel it first. You're exacerbating the exact problems you think you're solving, it's disgusting

Just wait until Luigi gets out of jail.
