Anyone got a link to the motion? Surely it's a public record, right? This is interesting if true, but I'd like to check the sources.

Sorry if I missed it in the rest of the comments; I scanned them and didn't see it.

Thank you!

Pages numbered 23 to 26 are the meat of the argument referenced in the image, for anyone else that wants to click through.

"[[l]t can hardly be said that the officer in this case followed the policy [for an inventory search] by conducting a search that included only the glove compartment, and upon finding a gun, leaving it in place."

A second thought - if I was the elite, I'd start panicking right now regardless of the outcome of the trial.

The "assassin" is still out there. He was able to pull this off In front of security cameras, and the only evidence he left behind were three bullets found near the body of the CEO who clearly died of pre-existing conditions.

Uh oh. It would be wild if it was inadmissible. Their whole job is to collect USABLE evidence.

Their job is to enforce, through violence, whatever people in power want enforced

It seems like people are adopting the Catholic doublethink strategy for Jesus about Luigi. Jesus is somehow simultaneously God and not-God, Luigi seems to be the guy who justifiably killed that CEO and was definitely framed for murder.

The guy's got to deal with the legal system and apparently they won't accept self-defense as a valid justification for icing the prick who tried to deny healthcare. So, don't have an issue with it, but it is weird to see.

  • Luigi didn't do it
  • If he did do it, it wasn't that bad
  • If it was, it's not that big of a deal
  • If he was, it's not his fault
  • If it was, he didn't mean it
  • If he did, the CEO deserved it

I know this is the narcissist prayer and he's certainly not a narcissist (based on what I've seen anyway) but can't help but see each one of these lines unironically applies to the situation.

Fact is profit driven healthcare has killed more people than Luigi ever did, allegedly or not.

The point is a sort of doublethink.

Where in private you celebrate Luigi for what we think he did. But in Public we pretend he didn’t do it to help create a narrative to protect him from the police state.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago

You're also assuming people are considering Luigi and the shooter the same person. I don't think Luigi shot Thompson, but I also don't think the shooter's actions are all that bad considering the state of our for profit ~~suffering machine~~ "healthcare" industry.

So there may not be a much doublethink as you think. Because its been fairly clear from the start that the evidence against Luigi is flimsy, and the tactics in use and 'evidence' provided by the police are suspect at the absolute best.
