Woah woah woah, slow it down, we don't know if it was murder yet. For all we know it was self defence.

Exactly. The media—and people as a whole—need to stop automatically assuming he's the killer. Even those who support him are still acting like he's the one who did it. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

He's the wrong guy entirely. His build doesn't look like those earlier NYPD photos showing the dude actually shooting the other dude. Not-Guilty. I think the NYPD picked up the wrong guy on purpose as an, "oops, I guess it's a cold case now."

Even if he did do it, it looked like a clear cut case of self defense. Brian was coming right for his throat.

But also, there wasn't a shooter. If you watch the video, Brian trips and falls on his own gun, shooting himself in the back 3 times

Jury nullification would send a very powerful message .

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

Also the law doesn't matter anymore anyway, so nobody should vote to convict because they're concerned about the rule of law.

look, im not a fan of Luigi. im a fan of justice. and i aint seen shit in that video where the CEO falls over

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In response to hearing about your 10,000+ individual donations, averaging under $30

So if that doesn’t send a message, maybe another CEO to spell it out?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Every Luigi needs a Mario.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm just waiting for someone to decide that "Mario Party" is a good codeword for "conspiracy to murder the wealthy." After all, it's a group activity where someone plays Luigi.

It's a shame he even needs the money since it's so obvious he's innocent.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He was chilling with me, hanging by the sea, in a country with no extradition treaty.

Obviously! He was hanging out with me we were exploring this spooky house.

I don't think 300 million would even be enough. They want to make an example of him.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They're not self aware enough to realize they're going to make a martyr out of him

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

How do you figure? The US has handled a lot of notorious cases, and most of them get quietly forgotten in prison.

Hopefully he's got a cousin named Vinny.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

What's a yoot?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago (7 children)

I'm surprised they kept this guy alive. Maybe they figured out how obvious epstein looked and didn't risk it with this guy

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Epstein had blackmail, and as such was still a danger to the rich, even in jail. On the other hand, Luigi was just some guy with a gun who got lucky, if they can lock him up for the rest of his life, he doesn't pose any danger.

Didn't see any bullets in that video. The CEO probably just tripped over something on the ground and fell over.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

tripped over something

Greed.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

He’s already on a path to martyrdom.

They kill him, 100 more will take his place.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Luigi hasn't harmed any currently alive rich people, when he killed one another took their place.

Epstein was a threat to Trump and a UK Prince, among others.

Luigi looks like he's about to drop the most 🔥 rap album of 2025 in that photo.

He didn't do anything wrong! The CEO just became permanently neutral to all future endeavors.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Free Luigi, DDD

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Maybe he can plead guilty and have zero jail time, like Steve.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (11 children)

Good luck with that. Unless they legalize murder he's pretty much fucked.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Look up Gary Plauché. Dude put a bullet at close range into the temple of a guy being escorted by police, got a suspended sentence. But we can dream

This guy is going to spend decades in prison unless he starts running for president.

People are advertising jury nullification, but that won't clear him for the same reason that a McDonald's employee would tell the cops where to find him.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (33 children)

I don't really understand lemmy's derision for this opinion.

It's the obvious outcome. Luigi might be a hero but he's going to jail.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Innocent until proven guilty.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

"well akshually" comments are poorly received everywhere.
