    I get the point but “criminal” isn’t a moral label. Cops are monsters even if they don’t break the law. Similarly, if Luigi did it, that means he committed a crime but it still doesn’t make him the villain.

    I still think it’s fucking hilarious that they tried to make him look like National Threat No. 1 but ended up creating one of the most badass photos of 2024 instead.

    The world needs more Robin Hoods and Ishikawa Goemon. Given increasing inequity and corruption without any real hope at a systemic level, Material conditions are right for the return of the outlaw hero, I think.

    You can agree with the justice of what he did, but Luigi did, in fact, commit 1st degree murder. That’s a crime.

        I am not a court. I don’t have to have a trial to believe in somebody’s guilt. According to the evidence I have seen it appears he shot a man to death.

          They are, by law, innocent until proven guilty. The “evidence” you have seen is certainly not all the evidence, and your beliefs have been swayed before defense can make an argument.

          I sure as hell hope you never serve on a jury.

            I am not representing the law. I am representing my own opinion. I am not a judge or a jury member.

        • You don’t know anything other than what lying American police told you and lying American media reported they said. You have absolutely no evidence or have any knowledge of his guilt or innocence. It appears that way to you because liars told you and now you are repeating it to me like an obedient dog.

                It really seems like it’s human nature to call out bullshit when you see it on your opposing side and then do mental gymnastics when it gets applied to you.

                  This literally makes no sense, you applied nothing to me and you’ve said nothing of substance. You are unable to say anything worth while because you are a moron. You are totally full of shit too in that you believe you have evidence of a murder that you don’t and are sure people are guilty before any sort of due process. You’re just another propagandized American idiot and there is no value to reading anything you ever have to say. Talk to my block list fash

            He still commited a crime which makes him a criminal which is just a fact and has nothing to do with the crime being justified

              What makes someone “criminal” as a quality? Breaking the law? Killing people? Are all health insurance workers criminals too?

                Commiting a crime makes you a criminal, so if you break a law you are a criminal. And if the decisions of health insurance workers are also breaking laws they are criminals too.

                  Then if you have ever gone faster than the speed limit, you are a criminal. That makes most people in the developed world criminals.

                  That aside, the point is that naming someone a criminal has moralistic baggage, and by saying that anyone that breaks laws is a criminal thus immoral, you imply all laws are inherently moral.

          I mean… if you are asking me based on the evidence I have seen… yeah.

          On the other hand, if I lived in new york, and were selected as a Jury… I’d say the evidence is not compelling.
