    Hopefully copycats. If defending ourselves from these horrid companies becomes a legal precedent then it is officially open season.

    He’ll be released and probably be offered all sorts of book, talk show, movie deals. He certainly won’t do anything criminal. That would would be cuckoo bonkers. CEO’s of unpopular companies will increase their security and certainly not ever just wander around on their own outside in the street. He will be the subject of all sorts of controversial arguments which will be used to market him. Or… he’ll go into some kind of anonymous relocation program and live a quiet life out of the public eye. Either way it’s going to be one of the most interesting moments to watch in recent history.

    he’ll be swept up by ice for existing, spend 3 weeks in a Totally-Not-Concentration-Camp™ before being deported via airdrop to somewhere in the middle of the Sahara, to far from towns and travel routes to get help before dying of exposure.

    While the Bought-And-Paid-For media spin it as a win for americans by dealing with a “Terrorist” that the “Woke Justice System” let go for woke wokeness reasons.

    The American government is doing their best to make him and his story disappear from the media. The same tactic will simply intensify. Killing him with the classic ‘prison suicide’ will only make him a martyr, so they will silence him and make him as invisible as possible.

      I’m not convinced he killed the first. The pictures they showed as evidence looked like completely different people, his backpack was lighter than his clothes in one, then darker than his clothes in another.

      Then they “caught him” at a restaurant with a backpack full of all the most convenient evidence days later.

      Weird. If I did that I sure wouldn’t be hanging out in restaurants DAYS later still toting around all the evidence just for the luls.

        For his sake, I really hope he did do it. I mean, being imprisoned as he is would suck regardless, but it would suck extra hard if he didn’t do it

    They’ll arrest the jury.

    I mean, yeah, they’re not allowed to do that, but since when has that stopped this regime?

    I mean he literally murdered someone in the middle of midtown Manhattan (I know Lemmy is really into the “Luigi is Innocent” conspiracy theories but I legit think he did it). Even if you think what he did was justified, that doesn’t mean it’s legal. We can’t have a functioning society where you can just extra-judiciously kill people and get away with it even if they’re doing something bad. He knew what he was getting into when he did this, and knew that he’d probably get arrested and convicted. If he gets convicted it will be justified, even though I completely understand why he did it and don’t feel bad for the victim. If he is found not guilty, then the prosecution really fucked up and that’s good for him.

      The extra-judicial nature of our society favours the rich. They get away with murder every minute of every day? Why not Luigi?

      Ok he might have allegedly committed those crimes and killed a man. But doesn’t the actions taken by CEO affect and kill thousands of people.

      People have been complaining about health care costs and insurance companies tactics of delay, deny and defend but noone does anything. The insurance companies and their shareholders never did anything. The government which was supposed to handle this didn’t do anything. At what point is the use of guillotines become justifiable

    He’ll be found guilty in a civil lawsuit and then much later gets attested in Vegas while trying to get back some of his memorabilia at gunpoint. For which he will be getting an unusually high sentence. All the while he will write books claiming he will find the guy who really did it.
