Theater to make him look like a villain that people want to shoot at.
Lol they said that and my first thought was, "what, is there a risk of some billionaire CEO bursting into the courtroom to exact revenge?"
absolutely not. The federal charges have the death penalty attached.
Remember, the rich fucks need this to end. They certainly don't want us getting ideas. And the fastest way to do that would be to have him wind up dead before they can drag his name through the mud in a show trial. that would turn him into a martyr.
Killing this guy is a very good way to piss off a lot of poor people who like him. The rich fucks need this to end in a relatively short prison sentence
he's gonna get eptsteined after the convictions blow over
Hey, it just takes one unhinged rich dude to not think for a second, and I can count many years of combined thoughtlessness from just one idiot alone.
At this point, Musk sending his kid into the courtroom in a bomb vest probably isn’t off the table.
I mean kinda....you know Trump's type
idk even the MAGAts like Luigi
A billionaire can afford a hit man
He should complain that the vest is restrictive and that he can't breathe.
Great idea, cry wolf so that people who really can't breathe are ignored.
His estate is rich enough to hire a hitman... Not that I think it would happen also not that I think that their precautions would prevent that...
It doesn't even need to be his estate. UHC could easily do it
They prefer the more indirect method of killing people
There could be interests making him a martyr of some kind, so CEOs will protect him.
You never know . When your rich and famous you can do whatever you want
Does the court decide that he has to wear the vest, or was that a decision by his team? I know the shackles are typically requested by the court, but my understanding is that the rest of a defendant's wardrobe is their own decision.
Other appearances he's made have been sans vest. I can't imagine that anything has changed so much in the interim that his defense would want a vest on him.
Being in police custody, means they are legally responsible for his health and safety.
They can require something like a vest on those grounds.
So you're saying they have a vested interest in his health?
Yes. Luigi is an investment
It's weird that they don't have a little too outside of the courtroom to take it off. A vestibule, perhaps?
Sort of, if he is hurt or dies they are responsible for it.
(I think you missed the pun)
I'll figure it out eventually!
I hope you do, because it would suck if you tried to play the ignorance cardigan.
I'm rooting for you!
I figured it out! It wasnt as funny as I expected! Probably my fault!
These things never live up to the expectations. It was just a dumb joke.
The guy he killed was someone we would grow to hate. He isn't like JFK who was extremely popular at the time.
Allegedly. Guy doesnt even look like the pictured guy
I think so, too. Enough of a reason to have a shadow of a doubt, therefore a legit acquittal
That, or so the DA could use him as a human shield.
