Here's my guess as to what's going on. We all knew that the picture they posted of his face last week was a different dude. Half the internet was saying that. But Luigi realized it looked like him and skipped out of town so he didn't get in trouble for something he didn't do. That would explain why he looked sketchy when he was in the McDonald's. Dude was probably shitting his pants. He was just trying to get out of town before he got falsely ID'd as the culprit. He's been saying that they planted evidence on him which totally makes sense. What are the fucking chances he had literally every piece of evidence on him that they needed when he was just at a fucking McDonald's?

This just sounds hella suspicious. But I guess they found the scapegoat they were looking for.

Highest profile case in a century and prosecutor gets iron clad convication starter pack?

They don't care about justice... Who ever killed the parasite sent a message...

The elite is returning a favour and there is a chance Luigi is being framed.

This whole thing got psyop written all over it. We just don't know which part which is tell tale sign of a psyop lol

If this ain't the real guy then all that he really needs is for the real one to pop off another CEO and take credit that time.

Or maybe he wasn't the criminal mastermind everyone was jerking themselves over?

[–] A7thStone 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You don't have to be a criminal mastermind to not go to mcDs a week after you committed a crime, with all of the evidence needed to put you away. This is either a setup or he intended to be caught.

So they did arrest the wrong man. How long before they "sucide" him?

I'm unsure if he means his arrest is unjust due to the order of magnitude worse injustice of the healthcare system or Luigi stating he's not the culprit (vigilante, hero, The Adjuster - whatever noun floats your boat).

It seems like the former? Annoyingly unclear.

[–] givesomefucks 62 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The cops leaked/released a picture of him in jail after he peed his pants, likely from being teased or something.

And multiple of him in the suicide prevention room, which notoriously doesn't prevent suicides, and is complete 24/7 isolation with only a weird smock.

It's not to prevent suicide, it's torture. So he's likely screaming about how he's actively being tortured.

He's rich tho, his lawyer will likely get him bail.

It's like insane this is the standard and no politician ever wants to address our system.

His grandparents are wealthy. His parents may be rich but might not be wealthy (they may or may not be, we only know about the grandfather’s extensive holdings and the expensive schooling).

It may sound like bullshit to people stressed about making rent, but middle aged people worth a few million aren’t wealthy. Like if you’re super lucky you can work for 20-30 years and own a house in or near a major city and have a enough of a retirement or pension to quit working when you’re old and have a reasonable lifestyle. I’m in a mid tier city and even here paying off your house or condo means you’re worth at least 500k. That isn’t “buy a politician” money. That isn’t “live in any country I want because I’m rich enough that everyone gives me citizenship” money. That isn’t “immune from health insurance fuckery” money. That isn’t “get away with murder“ money.

Anyway. A wealthy grandfather may be willing to help out with or pay for schooling. But it’s a coin flip on whether he’s gonna shell out hundreds of thousands or millions for a legal defense (and if he did, would he pull funding if the defense wasn’t to his liking?). From the granddad’s perspective, the kid is a class traitor.
