    Funny how he is wearing a bulletproof vest, when at the same time the prosecutor is trying to kill him.
    The death penalty is just so wrong, and obviously immoral, but I guess it makes sense then for USA to have it.
    USA is a country where half the population embrace sociopathy as a virtue.

        True, and they seem to think double standards are twice as good.

          He was a Corporate Serial Killer, who made money on every person he killed. The C-Suite people at every health insurance corporation are Corporate Serial Killers, too.

          If I were them, I would pressure the government to establish Medicare 4 All, so i wouldn’t be in the crosshairs of future American Heroes.

          Then he can go to jail. You don’t fucking shoot him on the street without a court hearing.

          Unfortunately, death is not a case of balance. Any action done with the intent to cause unnecessary harm is evil. However, you could argue that killing someone that tortures many others is less evil.

            If you kill a killer, the number of killers in the world stays the same. Two or more though, and you’re net positive.

        No it’s not wrong because he’s innocent until proven guilty. Please abstain from being in any jury in the future, for all our sakes.

        Was it wrong for YOU to kill a defenseless person?

        Somebody killed a Corporate Serial Killer, who has tens of thousands of victims. The shooter was acting in defense of others, and is a hero. We need more of this, not less.

        The video doesn’t show the shooter’s face, so I have reasonable doubt about it being Luigi.

    It’s only ok to murder if you’re a Republican. That legal precedent was set when Jan 6ers were pardoned. His crime is not murder, but not being a MAGA. The punishment is death.

      I really doubt it’s going to happen. Tucking him away forever vs making a martyr. But I was there and saw the ceo shot himself from guild. Luigi was with me playing Monopoly.

    That’s right, turn him into a martyr, amd announce it really early, so his status as a martyr grows huge before he has a single day in court.

    These MAGA Nazis have no sense of strategic planning. They are like toddlers who only respond to their immediate desires. Not one of them would pass the test where they are asked to not eat the marshmallow, and they’ll get two. They’d eat the mashmallow, and throw an epic tantrum to get the second one, and when they got it, they’d burn the house down to toast it.

          I didn’t say it was. But Lemmy doesn’t allow for advocating violence. That’s why the comment got removed.

    Luigi did society a massive net positive by removing a parasite. It wasn’t so much a killing as taking out the garbage. Nothing of value was lost that day.
