"You mess with Luigi, you mess with New York!"
"You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!"
The Murphys St. Patrick’s concert this year had two guys in Luigi merch. One with a “Deny, Defend, Depose” shirt who got on stage and another in the pit with a Luigi hat.
This might be the thing that unites New York and Boston.
Temporarily.

Sounds suspiciously like a sibling rivalry more than anything else
Wishful thinking. Americans won’t even fight for their own children.
Yeah, some of them won't... Countless others will, though.
Our problem is not uniform, or simple. We are a nation divided against itself. Trump finally did it.
Trump is a symptom. American culture is the cause. The US made Trump, not the other way around.
Weird, shouldn't they be trying to find the guy from the shooting video instead? Mangione looks nothing like him.
What's weird to me is that if this were any other person, there wouldn't be a potential of death penalty. We wouldn't have heard about it. Also, nobody would've fucking cared.
The was a video that was up on Instagram for hours of a man walking up to another guy in front of a convenience store and shooting him in the head. Face was very clear in the video. Guy died. Attacker wasn't found. Still waiting for the nationwide coverage
It's about to happen, just you wait. They just have to make us believe that that dude dying was a benefit to us nationally. Once they realize that it's a good thing, they'll take it away from us.
It's how the world works, the system is trying to protect itself by setting an example. The question is if it should deter us.
I'm calling it now: they're pursuing federal charges so that they can get him into federal custody and then rendition him to CECOT.
Everybody knows he's enough of a public hero that there's 0% of him getting convicted by a jury, so the fascists are taking steps to destroy him without one.
I don't think CECOT wants a person that popularly represents an act of rebellion and defiance. They need faceless individuals who are already in the margins to abuse, not celebrity.
Run for office, then they can't convict
Let's run him as a presidential candidate for the next 3 years. Would be a hiliarious message for the establishment. I'm sure he would poll well.
I was trying to remember what it means to be indicted by a grand jury
In a grand jury, they are simply determining whether there is enough evidence to even seek a trial in the first place and to bring these charges on behalf of the people. Because of that, the standard is much lower. The standard is probable cause
Also it just requires a simple majority
Very weird that they would do this considering NO LAW MATTERS ANYMORE, IF OUR LAWMAKERS DONT ACKNOWLEDGE THE LAW, WE DONT EITHER.
Glad to see someone else is waking up to the nuances of post-law society.
Thank you!
It's basically "do the cops have enough to be harassing / jailing this guy?"
Death penalty? People done worse that that and didn't get a death penalty. This can't be right
Guy in El Paso killed 23 people and said he thought he was doing daddy Trump's bidding; no death penalty sought.
New York State doesn't have the death penalty, they moved his case to Federal Court specifically so they could pursue the death penalty.
The US hasn't had the rule of law for a long time, if ever.
There’s a guy who killed 23 people in a Walmart in El Passo in 2022. Got charged with hate crimes on account of…he’s openly racist and said that’s why he did it.
That guy just got a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.
Nobody should identify the criminal justice system in America as anything else but a mechanism for protecting the rich.
Hopefully we get more luigis
be the change you wish to see in the world.
I think if they keep playing these games with his case we'll see more. That Ohio (?) workers comp guy could have been a follow -up.
I was on a jury for a workers comp case. Guy was suing some corpo because they denied his workers comp just because. Our entire jury was like "fuck that scummy corpo lawyer" and we sided with the guy who was a dedicated rail worker for like 20+ years. Felt like a small win.
exactly people aren't going to side with these guys if they actually started getting hunted
I am Spartacus!
Found with ghost gun in silencer. Over a week later, that's kind of like the passport at the trade center.
Let me remind you of an event from not so long ago:
"Here's to you, Nicola and Bart Rest forever here in our hearts The last and final moment is yours That agony is your triumph"
Next up, military tribunal!
Why?
Because imaginary line must go up!
