I strongly disagree. Laws must be consistently applied.
To set aside the law prohibiting murder in a specific case just because you don't like the victim is the antithesis of a fair and just legal system.
Laws consistently and rigidly applied out of context is how you get to fascist governments.

Nonsense. Laws may be consistently applied by racist governments but it's the nature of those laws (luke ethnic cleansing) that makes them fascist.
Obviously in a vacuum laws should be consistently applied, but we are so so far from laws being consistently applied in the US where bad guys get away with literal murder, why be so upset with a loophole that let's a good guy off for murder for once?
Cops and rich people murder every day and get away with it due to our legal system being broken. The time to put your foot down starts with them.
I can't believe I have to say this but, you can't expect consistent application of the law while arguing that exceptions should be made when you like the perp.
And how do you propose we ensure they are applied to the rich and those in power? Because until that happens they are being forced on the common man much more, as a weapon for those in power.
I don't really follow you sorry.
I suppose wealthy murderers are probably less likely to get convicted due to better representation. I would've thought Luigi had pretty good representation given his gofundme.
Ok if you don't get me, look at Trump. 34 felonies and 0 punishment. Luigi commits one and the whole force drops on him. The rich have different laws than us.
I don't "get you" because your argument is non-sensical.
You're saying that you want a legal system where everyone receives the same treatment but then in the same breath arguing that an exception should be made for Luigi because Trump hasn't been punished.
I'm saying that everyone isn't treated the same and Luigi is a result of that inequality correcting itself. If everyone was treated the same then the Luigi situation wouldn't be what it is.
A concept you don't understand isn't nonsensical simply because you lack the ability to understand it.
