The IMPORTANT thing is to KEEP using RANDOM ass UPPERCASE in CLICKBAIT title SENTENCES. That is NOT at ALL irritating.

The most important part is to use MEANINGLESS HYPERBOLE like SLAMMED and EXPLOSIVE

Police misconduct allegations could unravel this case—constitutional rights aren't optional.

😺😺😺

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

They most definitely are

BREAKING: We have an unexpected ruling from the United States Supreme Court today. In a 6-3 decision they have ruled... wait this is really it? They have ruled "Hold My Beer."

Everyday police overreaching actually is a benefit for a change. Cool.

  1. Broad public support for the killing of a CEO
  2. Suspect is a Chad

Most of crime never gets this spicy combo... Gonna be hard to shit on Luigi in court who ALLEGEDLY threw away what is considered peak AMERICA life.

At this point, most people don't care if he walks even IF HE DID DO IT

I'd almost go so far as to say I'm looking forward to the OJ Simpson-esque "If I did it" book in 10 years.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

"If I did it" book in 10 years.

stop... you getting me hot and bothered.

the poetic justice in such a fact pattern is palpable

[–] singletona 245 points 2 days ago (2 children)

oh I absolutely believe the allegation as plausible.

They NEEDED a fall guy for this and they NEEDED it to be so cut and dry that they could quickly make an example of him.

Even if Luigi DID do it? This is railroading for the sake of trying to scare everyone else to stay in place.

[–] [email protected] 133 points 2 days ago (10 children)

That's the thing... Everyone is acting like this guy totally do it.

From the start I had my doubts. Something felt off.

The only thing I know is that the government needs somebody to go to prison over this. They don't care who though. This is the culture of law enforcement, so not even specific to Luigi's case.

So we have to believe that they found this dude in fucking McDonald's with everything on him to get a conviction?!

But people are buying it... Sure he has support but they also believe that he is a the guy who committed the crime. And I am just not convinced.

Government behaviour around this case is suspect.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Imagine if it's actually not him, and the real guy was able to get away because nobody's looking any more.

[–] MumboJumbo 12 points 1 day ago

That would be hilarious if he gets convicted and the next day another shooting happens with the same guy on camera again.

Feels too... Tidy really. Too much like something out of a movie. High profile murder. Killer found. Killer has clear motive and everything is found on or near the guy. Suspect makes statements that sound like something Killer would say in that position.

A line from the Running man comes to mind.

'Once again proving Might and Right are one and the same!'

In reference to a fake staged fight where State Sponsored Execution Reality TV kills a stunt double digitally made to look like the fugitive of the moment that has been making a mockery of The System. very neat. very tidy. Also, very Bullshit.

Edit: For the sake of records. I do believe he did it. I just find it too... tidy that everything was on hand to immediately bring a trial rather than months of legwork to ensure an air tight case.

How would it benefit the rich to have the real killer running lose while a random guy goes to jail??

This is the weirdest conspiracy so far.

It’s him, he did it, and praise him for doing it, he’s a legend. Neither he or his lawyers are denying it.

It’s super weird that people on the Internet are insisting it isn’t him

[–] singletona 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh I ABSOLUTELY am of the belief that it is him. However, I find it strange that so much proof was supposedly found on him to the point that he might as well have been standing in time's square shouting that he did it. There was no need to backtrace through his history, go through his home, interview friends or family. It was all There.

That is what strikes me as ... too convenient.

They don't want to go to the trouble of having this long drawn out process. They want thier gunman handed on a silver platter both to please the corporate overlords, and to show that they are competent.

...when they are anything but.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool 4 points 1 day ago

Oh for sure they fucked around and made sure to plant as much shit to make sure he doesn’t get away with it, there’s definitely corruption around his case but yeah it’s him

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

The rich could have already discovered the real culprit and assassinated him quietly, rather than risk technicalities in court.

How insane would it be if he got off due to a technicality. Not holding my breath, but here's hoping.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

Civil rights aren't a technicality. If he 'got off' it would be a victory for everyone who enjoys not being harassed by police.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

On the flip side, if they illegally discover evidence but can prove an alternative, legal, way it could be discovered it becomes admissible. That's sometimes why they do it.

[–] SlothMama 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It has a word too, something like Alternative Reconstruction. I used to know the term.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

"parallel construction" or "evidence laundering"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

"buttering the goose"

[–] Kbobabob 86 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not really that insane. Cops are mostly useless and fuck shit up all the time.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mostly. Have a look at this chart to see their real impact.

Alec Baldwin got off because of screw-ups like this. Seems like when there's a high profile case, all the big shots who normally don't do any work all want to jump in and be involved. And then make stupid mistakes because they don't have any real experience because they're normally too important to work a case.

Really appears like they planted a backpack full of evidence on this innocent person, cops were desperate for a win

[–] [email protected] 83 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Then botched his 4th Amendment rights and will likely get away with it becuase government needs him in prison for this to make the parasite class happy

There is zero chance any judge going to exclude the conviction starter package the "police found on him"

You don't go through all of that parallel construction to have it gutted like that.

Trust me bro a guy who shot the parasite CEO decided to carry all of the evidence needed for conviction on him for 5 days 🤡
