Would have been unbelievable if the US police wouldn’t have a long history of framing people because they are just too buttfuck stupid to do their jobs.

Wow. That is just unbelievably sketch.
I think the conspiracies that he somehow didn't do it are nonsense, however I think his "not guilty" plea and approach to this clearly shows that he is down to put the whole (corrupt) process on full display and make an absolute mockery of the legal system - a system that definitely needs to be mocked.
Unfortunately for the state, they're doing a very good job of supporting him in his cause.
Our system isn't about guilty or not guilty but "beyond a reasonable doubt"
If there is reasonable doubt then someone can't be guilty (or shouldn't) and the burden to prove that is on the prosecution.
I'm not saying it's a good system, or that I agree or disagree but that is our system.
I’m not sure why you’re splitting hairs when you understand what I’m saying
It's never made sense to me, TBH. I've just assumed he's being railroaded. In his case the cops just planted a gun instead of drugs like they do to every other person they want to lock up without cause.
It seems more and more everyday that vigilante justice is the only justice against this corrupt corporate tyranny. I think we all wish this wasn’t the case but as my dad used to say you can wish in one hand and 💩 in the other and see what hand fills up first
I have worked in private security and law enforcement. I have searched people and their bags at security checkpoints to enter government buildings after 9-11. I've strip searched males in lockup. There is no way a trained cop or even an experienced security guard would miss something bigger than a tube of lipstick in a backpack. Nothing found in the backpack at Micky Ds and then found a handgun after taking it inside of a police station? Sounds to me like the gun was driven to the police station separately to be planted in the bag. A 3D printed gun could be made by anyone, including the cops. #ACAB
But why make a hero and a martyr? Are they stupid?
Vs. What?
Letting the world know that you can walk up to someone in the middle of the day and shoot them and get away with it?
We all know CSI shows are over exaggerated, but they give us a feeling of protection
Without a motive or a link to follow. A random gunman is next to impossible to find after they get away.
This way they don't have to make the charges stick but "they caught" the gunman.
Security theater is important
Because this happens all the time and they are used to just doing it and nothing happening.
I always think about the episode of true detective where they roll with the biker gang. They just do it cool as cucumbers, prep and say "yeah we're going off book." No debate, no explanation, it's just a thing they do.
We all saw how that ended up.
Yes?
When I picked up bodies for the Medical Examiner's Office, we had very strict chain of custody rules we had to follow. If the decedent had any valuables on their person (purse, wallet, jewelry, etc), or any medication, we had to write detailed descriptions of every item found (a gold ring is not a gold ring, it's a gold colored ring), then package it all up with the ranking police officer on the scene as a witness who then signs the sealed bag. Even the slightest deviation from this would get us immediately fired, and even prosecuted if surviving family members made any accusations about theft.
In a capital murder case where an alleged murderer/terrorist can potentially walk free because the chain of custody rules weren't followed, how the fuck does this cop still have a job? How is she not being charged with tampering with evidence and obstruction of justice?
Don't get me wrong, I am all for letting Luigi go free, but this is a fuck-up of monumental proportions.
Why would she be fired for doing what she was told? The fact she wasn’t fired tells you everything you need to know
I don't disagree, but that means the fuck-up goes higher up the food chain. The NYPD has to know this makes a conviction that much more difficult.
Luigi is innocent. He did not kill Brian Thompson. He is a hero by the simple virtue that he is an innocent young man who was dragged through hell over something he didn't do and is having his life put on the line.
As for who actually did it. I hope he lives a long, quiet life.
Of course Luigi didn't do it. He was flying with me to New Orleans from Nashville at the time of the murder. We got beignets at The Vintage then took a ghost tour of the french quarter.
And right after that he went to my place thousands of miles away and we played classic Sierra games together. Given he is much younger than me he didn't quite understand late 80s and early-mid 90s gaming that much at first. But my god was he such a good listener! He listened to all my middle age man explanations and how revolutionary all that stuff was at the time with full understanding. He even figured out the Gold Rush door puzzle from the get go! The guy is brilliant! And so very nice, too.
I still hope this is correct and the real guy starts act 2 during Luigi's trial. Also it's be cool if the next three shells read "super Mario brothers" lmao
We need some chubby copycat so they can be Mario.
So they not only have to find 12 people who haven’t been fucked personally or had friends family fucked by their health insurance, now those 12 people have to be blind Pig supporters?
Anything other than a not guilty (or some insanely strong evidence with a perfect chain of custody) verdict for this guy and the fix is in.
If they convict Luigi get the fuck out while you still can, cause the alternative is guerilla warfare against the Gilead states of orange stupidity.
Plot twist: good guy policewoman deliberately makes it impossible to prosecute Luigi.
