Personally, I'm at the point that I'd vote not guilty for just about anything except the most egregious shit. Until we start getting a fair and equal system across the board, I don't see the point in punishing some people for actions that are too often started and created in board rooms. Politicians and corporations want the metaphorical wild West, who am I to argue?

Murder is pretty egregious. But if I were on this jury, there's no way I'd vote guilty.

Murder is the unlawful killing of a human by another human.

As the CEO was a mass murderer, Louigi was acting in self-defense, which can also be done in the defense of others.

Fucking thank you! It's awesome seeing someone else with this take. If corporations are people then it's self defense when you eliminate the person who is actively harming you and a fuck ton of others. Easiest way to get rid of them is to aim for the head e.g. the CEO.
