    America is a country of fat, lazy, cowards that can’t be bothered to not litter. Much less fight and die for anything besides an 80" tv.

      No, he is a revolutionary, and you are a person with your thumb up your butt. And there’s nothing wrong with having your thumb up your butt, but you are in denial about having your thumb up your butt.

      There is a lot of reasonable doubt: no matching eyebrows, different clothes, suspicious evidence processing, disconnect in time-line, weird arrest conditions…

        I remember a video right after he was taken into custody of inmates yelling out the windows about “free luigi” and “luigis conditions are terrible” of course they love him. He killed a greedy healthcare CEO, you could argue he did the world a favor.

          I hope every inmate makes it clear that Luigi is cool with them and that anyone who does something similar will receive a warm welcome, that might make things interesting.

    The truth is that he may never see daylight. They want to make an example of him lest others get similar ideas.

    People with nothing to lose have little reason not to follow his example and make the greedy fuckers in this society pay.

    This isn’t really abnormal. He’s accused of murder, and a pretty high profile one at that. It’s not uncommon in the slightest for people accused of high profile crimes and people accused of murder to be held in custody pending trial.

      To clarify: There are only two actual reasons that you can legally be held without bail. The first reason is that you’re considered a flight risk. The second reason is that you’re considered a danger to yourself or others if let out of prison before your trial.

      For the first reason, this basically means that the courts don’t believe you would return for your trial, and would flee instead. Maybe you’re rich enough that you can afford to lose the bail money. Maybe you have international connections and can disappear to another country. Maybe you just have a history of fleeing. The Adjuster is 100% without a doubt a flight risk. He fled authorities and evaded a nationwide manhunt for an entire week. And since Luigi is accused of being The Adjuster, he is considered a flight risk.

      For the second reason, this is basically the court going “you were accused of something so violent or egregious that we don’t trust you to avoid doing something similar again while out on bail.” This is most often used with cases like school shooters, serial killers, serial rapists, serial burglars, etc… Basically, the prosecutor argues that if they’re let out, they’ll just fall right back into their old ways again. But a scummy pro-corporation prosecutor could construe The Adjuster as a violent extremist who is likely to strike again.

    I think they’re going to try and find a way to kill him to send a strong example as to what happens to people in his place.

    But then I hope it does happen because it’ll only make him a martyr.

    How do you know that to be true? What evidence do you have to support the hypothesis?

    Even if the outcome you fear to be true comes to pass, that will not mean you were correct today.

    Without evidence to support the hypothesis, you’re doing nothing more complicated than guessing the result of flipping a coin.

    Maybe because killing unarmed civilians is wrong. Maybe because starting armed violence is wrong. Maybe because the number of CEOs didn’t decrease and healthcare isn’t getting any better.

      Anecdotal observation I received from a doctor’s office indicates there may be some change in the insurance industry…

      Last month I saw a surgeon who does not take insurance, but her office helps people get all the pre-authorizations done to file an out-of-network claim. They told me that of the codes they bill, there’s one that used to have a 50/50 chance of getting approved. But after 12/6/24 they see it come back approved every time.

      Without more data to back this up I recognize it’s not enough to say anything for sure, but this does point to insurance companies more broadly approving claims.

        I’m glad you at least admit there is no significance without actual data to back the claim up. My guess is that denial rates are only getting worse with the prevalence of AI in form assessment and documentation industries, and especially with federal funding cuts and freezes to insurers.

            According to historians such as François Furet, the new government gave themselves unlimited power which was immediately abused by it. Only about two thirds of men gained the right to vote, favoring wealth, and none of the women, and the King was still in power. After the second round of revolution France split into three factions fighting internally which led directly into the “Reign of Terror.”

            And then Emperor Napoleon.

            But yes, you could say the French Revolution had some beneficial long term results, now how about you defend the 200+ wars that France has been in over the last two millenium as well?

              Liberty ain’t free dear and boomers being pathetic bootlickers is why the CEO had the to be deposed.

              Unchecked and unaccountable elites is how social unrest happens.

              Or is you down being fucked over as long as we keep “peace”?

                  You got a bootlicker mind set: can’t fight elites because there will be violence

                  No shit sherlock, nobody wants this but if the elites can’t rule properly that’s what happens.

    True. I think even if he gets off, they’ll kill him. Remember all the whistleblower deaths in 2024? Like that.

        The premise of Michael’s tattoos was so much cooler than the actual execution and need for them. His tattoos were basically “here’s a tiny screwdriver shape in this giant demon”, “here’s a number that I could just have remembered but instead put it on a clock”, and so on.

        1. it’s not for naught, it’s for support. if you think support is useless, that’s like, your opinion, man. lots of people disagree.
