Next president of the United States. I can't wait to be part of the billionaire extermination task force

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 39 points 8 hours ago

If the US is gonna get out of this mess, it's because they will have rallied behind Luigi's cause, not some left-right bullshit, even with the right being nazi cunts. Hating rich assholes screwing everybody over unites people. It did unite. It united so many people so much that media coverage of it largely stopped. So where do you suppose your power is?

So they actually put a vest on him this time after doing the 20 person perp walk with no vest the first time.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 19 points 10 hours ago

and the clown, mayor adams was walking behind him too.

Judge Gregory Carro ordered him to remain handcuffed, calling it a security measure.

Oh yeah, any second now he'll pull out his ass gun he's been hiding for months in prison and go hog wild. This guy doesn't have a chance at a fair trial.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 hours ago

It's a security measure to make sure no one else gets the wrong idea and emulates him. They have to treat him poorly and make an example out of him.

I hope it backfires.

Kangaroo court.

[–] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 41 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The bullet proof vest is hilarious too. This dude didn't kill a kid and the parent is gunning for him.

A professional assassin hired by wealthy CEOs wouldn't care.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Probably standard procedure for high profile.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world -5 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

TBH probably to hinder escape if the crowd were to riot. They also kept the cuffs on his feet.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

They'd probably just dome him immediately if that happened anyway. The cuffs are just for show.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 hours ago

The cuffs are just for show

Yeah, to show their rich masters how much more seriously they take it when it's one of them on the receiving end for once.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, because the 4 cops standing right behind him staring holes in the back of his head the whole time wouldn't be able to stop that 🙄

Don't make excuses for this kangaroo court demonstrating how much more they value rich people than any other victims.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world -2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

How was that an excuse? They tried to derive a possible reasning. Murderers often get cuffed and noone cares when theyre not goodlooking robin hoods. Noone is questioning the hipocrisy of the court and police but answering it with just as much hipocrisy doesnt help.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, they're NOT doing anywhere near this level of security for any first time offender who's only killed one person who ISN'T a CEO of a parasitic corporation.

Don't pretend that this amount of melodramatic posturing is the norm even in a "justice" system as corrupt as the US one.

Our boy looks good in a vest

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 39 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

It's green. Rumor has it it's a fan nod (on purpose, was being suggested on subreddits).

Given the overwhelming support for him online I'd say his legal team wouldn't be doing their jobs properly if they didn't know.

[–] _wizard@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I'm more pointing out that randos on a sub declaring facts. Course legal knows.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 21 points 13 hours ago

Dude definitely looks good in green.
