Edit: I heard he plead guilty which is not the case. A lot of what I say presumes that was how he plead. Leaving up my comments for completeness of record.
Naw, and I def agree we're all just armchair lawyering until the case actually hits court.
But I've seen the video camera footage. Someone definitely shot and killed the United Health CEO. It seems a logical conclusion (based on what's come out PLUS LUIGI PLEADING GUILTY) that Luigi did the act.
To argue that it wasn't him in that video feels the same as arguing that the guy we need to be supporting is still at large (and thusly the supportive sentiment online should be sent to someone else).
I feel like there's a logical gap here. Either he did it and deserves support for taking out a petty oligarch, or he didn't do it and there's a hero still out there in hiding. It doesn't seem.like this community is arguing for that latter option.
Am I missing something here?
Edit: just saw your down thread comment. So it sounds like you're thinking this was some kind of glowie op? I've actually not heard anything to that effect. Can you explain how you think that all came together? I'm genuinely curious.
He pleaded NOT guilty.
........how tf did I hear that wrong. Wow, thats my bad.
The regime is unreasonable... Plebs can be unreasonable too.
Mkay. I don't agree with the "he didn't do it" sentiment, but definitely sympathize with the "he did nothing wrong" side.
Suppose we'll see how the courts play it. I'm confident it won't be a happy time if they throw the book at him.
