Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Let's be clear here for a second:
Assuming Luigi did what he's accused of, then he is a murderer and a vigilante, and both are bad things that you do NOT want in a healthy society and in any normal moral society his ass should belong in jail
Luigi is like Batman. You don't want a (or multiple) vigilante justice warriors rummaging around your cities. They'll play their own judge, jury and executioner and it's all but guaranteed that innocent people will suffer. Take a look at the pedo hunter gangs that just keep hurting innocent people whilst ensuring real pedophiles stay out of jail because, well, most of them are just plain dumb and taint or destroy real evidence whilst fabricating whatever stupidity because, again, they're dumb and just looking for sensation clicks, money.
You don't want any of that in a normal functional and moral society.
Having said that...
The USA is a corrupt third world shit hole that only cares about the rich. If you're rich, laws no longer apply to you, which has been proven over and over and over and over. And over. ...... And over.
Take a look at Elmo Musk. You buy votes, don't go to jail, don't even get called out for it by anyone who could do something about it. You're right you do whatever the fuck you want.
Take a look at Cheeto Trump: you plan and execute an insurrection and for four years nobody does anything. Four fucking years, you cannot tell me you couldn't nail the fucker, but nobody did anything
Take large corporations that cheat and break laws like there is no tomorrow on a daily level. At best they'll get a small fine that is a fraction of the fortune they gathered by breaking the laws continuously.
So yeah... I don't want violence, I don't want vigilantes, but it's not like there are many other choices left if you want to stay safe.
Luigi is not the man anybody wants, but right now, Luigi is the man the USA needs.
Free Luigi!
Clearly we DO want this. Have you seen the internet?!
I think the most enthused luigi supporter would happily trade the United CEO's slaying for HEALTHCARE THAT ACTUALLY CARED FOR PEOPLE'S HEALTH.
It's not like there's a crowd outside screaming for blood, just fucking blood.
No, they want the healthcare they paid for - for decades in most cases - healthcare they invested in - to actually CARE FOR THEIR HEALTH.
So no, we don't want this, but it's the outcome we're fucking left with.
Acting like it's the public's bloodlust to hurt poor innocent ceo's is ridiculous.
Well... Gimme that and maybe we can reevaluate.
