That is not a good choice of words to describe an attractive person's time in jail, lmao. I think they meant "everyone wanted to meet a folk hero and tell the tale, including the guards."

Frfr, I was worried there for a sec lol

The whole quote is "Everyone wanted a piece of the biggest crime story in the nation." The headline choice was absolutely intentional.

They knew.

The problem with your title is that you call Luigi a "Folk hero".

You are not allowed to do that on the news.

I mean, I wouldn’t mind being his cell mate.

But what if he radicalizes you?!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He’d have to really shove it down my throat for that to happen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Come now, he doesn't seem like the kind of guy to be a pain in the ass.

Thanks for saving a click. I only read that as murder.

If you expect, or even hope that news will aim to spread truth...

Well, hell. We've got the wrong decade (century?) for that.
