There's a part of me hoping dudes going along with it to aid in the others escape, solidarity style, and he's got some iron clad alibi his lawyer plans to deliver in the courtroom that means they can't convict him.

As if they would care. There will be no justice here.

Luigi is player 2.

Plot twist: this was a group act all along. The murderer flees the scene. Once the image gets released, a second actor shows up at a McDonald's, a public space. Gets reported to authorities by a third actor, who does actually work at McD's. They waste the authorities' time, and the second actor, having commited no crimes, proves his innocence. The actual murderer, in the meantime, disappears for real, benefiting of the time wasted by the authorities. Second actor represents something, and gets some cool pics getting "arrested"

Idk, the idea just came to mind seeing the comment above

the second actor, having commited no crimes, proves his innocence.

Here's the flaw in your plan: This doesn't actually work in the US.

if luigi hypothetically did participate in this plan, wouldn’t that itself be a crime (accessory to murder)? so they could still get him for something if they found out about the plan, but probably for less than if he did actually kill someone. i’m not a lawyer though so i don’t really know how this stuff works or if it would even be feasible to prosecute him for any of those things (if he did them)

[–] MacAttak8@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah I think they could still charge anyone who was in on the plan with conspiracy to commit murder whether they pulled the trigger or not.

Edit: at minimum

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 14 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

They'd have to prove there was a plan.

[–] MacAttak8@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Oh absolutely!

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 4 points 17 hours ago

How easy would that be to prove though?

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 1 points 16 hours ago

That's only something that could pretty much only be proven with a paper trail, which isn't necessarily possible.

Also McD actor gets a small reward that takes care of some expenses for the group

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

The feds, and state of New York, already said that the informant wasn't going to get a dime of the posted reward.

The only class solidarity that we have seen systemically is for the owners.

I knew this was how it would go down. I'm guessing they're saying since they didn't go through crimestoppers they can't get it?

I love it. Snitch gets their pretend cash snatched. Makes it less likely for people to snitch. And that fucker is going to be mad about it every day for the rest of their life.

I want this timeline so damn bad

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 31 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

In which timeline are you? Harambe alive or Harambe dead?

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 31 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I never put my dick away for Harambe. Does not matter what HR has to say about it.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 19 points 18 hours ago

HR stands from Harambe Repressors.

[–] HowAbt2morrow 3 points 16 hours ago

As long as you keep the cheese scarf in check, HR is typically ok with it.
