Rich fucks are afraid he might go after them if he gets out of jail one day.

The order was supplying states with lethal injection drugs, had nothing to do with Luigi in particular.

Even moreso, I think they're worried this will normalize violence against their class, so they want to make an example of him. One Luigi can be imprisoned or executed; a thousand Luigis is a bigger problem.

they had to consistently astroturf him on MSMS and some anti-luigi comments on places like reddit to bring conservative back under thier fold, not even the grifters were fooling them at the time, it took like a month later to use one russian issued grifter, jack to do it.

Would you rather fight a Luigi-sized duck or 100 duck-sized Luigi's?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think Luigi is like Batman. As long as they have time to prepare and strap up, my money is on the 100 duck sized Luigis.

isnt he more like punisher/dexter. Batman is a goody two shoes, vigilante.

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

Well yeah certainly not like Batman in all respects. But kinda like Batman in the sense of a well-off white dude turned vigilante who goes after criminals that the standard justice system methods aren’t equipped to handle.

Ironic point, given making a martyr of someone is a better way to galvanize supporters. Big reason we... er, people, haven't assassinated Trump.

I like the sound of one thousand Luigis
