These images could be false leads just as much as Luigi could be a false arrest. People assume these pictures are "the guy" just because they were presented first.

We don't have all the evidence.

If he checked into the hostel with the same ID that was used to get the bus out of the city and they weren't his identity, then there is the manifesto that may or may not have been planted in the gun that may or may not have been planted. Then there's the manifesto in substack from before the event, well before the event.

Together that's probably enough for a trial.

He has not once said he didn’t do it has he? I think this whole conspiracy theory like most is silly.

Yeah he did it, that’s why he’s a hero.

I mean, people from the dark corners of the internet are probably pretty good at finding polls about things they're interested in, lol

not killing loved ones

exception is CEOs

You are repeating yourself

My thoughts: Completely and utterly acceptable without hesitation and the only nuance here is that it's a shame it didn't become a trend. Not that I'd condone violence. I clearly don't, I condemn the violence these rich fucks inflict upon society

If we had a justice system (one that actually uh, delivered justice), then letting the courts deal with the CEO(s) would be the correct thing to do. We absolutely don't have such honorable courts and have little other recourse except this.

I agree somewhat, that 'an eye for an eye' is just awful. Violence begets violence. However, as the CEO was single-handedly responsible for the deaths of a whole bunch of people, the only way to stop him from doing more harm was to rid the world of him. There's a line, and he crossed it. Society, and our justice system, would never have a trial for him, and would never sentence him for his crimes. Luigi was the one to force him to face judgement for his crimes against humanity, and as such I fully believe he should be set free as a result.

It's kinda like Trump and Elon in my eyes. These two have done immeasurable harm and our justice system will never hold them accountable. To allow them to live is to allow them to continue perpetuating their crimes. Now, I'm not saying by any means that I would be the one to 'do the deed' as it were, but I sure as hell would look the other way if someone else did.

But there is still a cost.

Why though? By attaching an inherent moral cost to opposing the status quo you raise the bar necessary for resistance, which only benefits the powerful.

I wonder what the options were

Shaggy defense:

It wasn't me

It most likely was him. And the prosecution likely has solid evidence

It's just they likely didn't get that evidence thru legal means so it won't be admissible.

Like, at first they said a fast food worker recognized him, then she said she didn't. She said someone walked up to her. Told her it looked like the shooter that has a big reward, and left

That 100% smells like law enforcement needing a legal way to say he was found when they 100% knew it was him and where he was.

So you attack the evidence they can share with a jury. Which isn't great.

You attack all the shitty things the cops did, like tazering him till he pissed his pants and then releasing a cell phone pic to taint the jury pool.

His family is loaded as fuck, they're gonna be able to afford good lawyers, it's very likely he's not found guilty

Eh, to be fair, I get it after looking through the modlog. The implication that you wish far more people were okay with an assassination and that there is no other recourse is absolutely advocating violence. Now, whether or not it's acceptable to think that way is a whole other topic, but I don't think it's fair to say you weren't at least speaking out in support of violence.
