a true patriot would organize a team to break this guy out of jail.
The best outcome of this situation is jury nullification. If the jury nullifies, we'll have proven the law does not prosecute heroic deeds of this caliber. It would be the biggest blow to capitalism in generations.
i love that too, but they will be anticipating jury nullification, and they have stopped people from doing it before.
i just don't trust anything abut the american justice system any more.
Once the jurors are selected, we need to start a social media blitz in New York around jury nullification. Signs on street corners. Murals. Chanting crowds outside the courthouse on the court dates.
We can do this ๐ช
Aren't jurors for high profile cases typically secluded during the trial? Would they even be on social media or in a position to be out in public much?

i agree, but keep in mind that if the DOJ knows what they're up against, they will pull some underhanded shit to make a conviction unavoidable. don't doubt them for a second.
i honestly have no faith and would rather see us organizing the things that don't interact with the gears of government at all.

Remember then the media was calling him a Techbro instead of a tech worker? Yeah, he was never a Techbro.
They tried everything... It didn't work
Bootlickers eventually fell inline but anyone paying attention saw right through the bullshit.
Anyone with basic vidya game exp knows that you re going the right way when you get this many enemies having a melt down on teevee and socials

This actually makes an incredible amount of sense. Anyone who has played any of the Civs for long enough knows that taking out the right unit at the right time can change the entire face of the map. Imagine having that kind of tactical gameplay drilled into your head every day for 8-10 hours a day as a developer.
At some point, the lines between the game, the job, and real life must have become blurred. Civ is a virtual abstraction of real life. The healthcare industry is a bureaucratic one, twisted from being a service that cares for people to one that only keeps you alive as long as you can pay.
The goal in every video game is to kill the boss. The sad fallacy of this approach to political action is that there's always another boss waiting in line to take his place, and the machinery of evil barely blinks an eye at the average murderous vigilante. If Luigi hadn't have been caught, and just disappeared into the night, we wouldn't be talking about him now - the murder would have faded from our awareness with the news cycle's constant obsession over Trump.
Instead, the police did the worst thing they could have done.
They caught him.
And this meant that the faceless masked murderer became a cute rich Italian guy who had a fire in his eyes and the name of one of the most beloved video game characters of all time. By dragging him out in chains in a performative perp-walk, the cops were demonstrating their loyalty to the oligarchy who run the country (and the Healthcare chuds are a big part of that machine), and at the same time, managed to make him into a living martyr.
Because everyone, everywhere, who has ever played a Super Mario Brothers game in their life, has been Luigi at one time or another.
Now there's no chance at even a semblance of a fair trial, and they've guaranteed that the mere mention of his name will draw eyeballs and has the potential to start a riot, or inspire more gunmen.
All because of video games....
Guess they weren't a waste of time after all, Mom....
Cute theory but Luigi wasn't the shooter
That's for the state to prove and so far they have showed that they are got a lot of propaganda but it is not very convincing
He's the nicest guy around.
Yeah, he was having some beers with me in Baltimore when it happened!

Bruh ๐คฃ
I thought this was The Onion
He has that results-oriented mindset
They need to keep gamers, women, healthcare users and people without an innate sense of justice out of that jury to secure conviction.

No one fixes bugs and problems like Luigi ๐คญ
A troubleshooter, some would say.
So, Firaxis offer shitty medical cover?
He was an intern at Firaxis during college. He spent the past four years working for Truecar.
Well, put their name on the map
Elon Musk the fat roller pays people to get him high scores in games for clout.
Luigi Mangioni fixes 25% of ~~all ~~ UI bugs in Civilization 6.
The difference couldnโt be clearer.
25% of UI bugs
So "Fix Civ Bugs" is new code for "Eat the rich" and it's not even doublespeak.
Civilization has these bugs where some people can get ultra wealthy and ruin it for everyone. As Devs, we need to fix that.
Taking bets on how long before discussing fixing Civ bugs gets you banned on r*ddit
It's a shame those weren't caught in QA and are now in production. Hard to ship a patch for so many platforms!
