I sure hope so. The last thing China needs is a generation of liberals interrupting their progress

What's funny is the author is Chinese and faculty at Peking University, but went to US universities up to the PhD level.

This still feels a touch biased -- there's no explanation of how China's democratic process works, for example. But at least it admits that the system is working.

Is he going to build from the bottom up?

I don't understand the appeal of Vtubers, but I'm also not obsessively attracted to anime women so I guess I'm not the target market.

Quite a lot of cope in this article even as it acknowledges China as a threat to US naval power...in self-defense.

The pigs also claim he had $8000USD in cash on him and $2000 in an unnamed "foreign currency". Luigi said himself in his bail hearing that he did not have that much money with him, and suggested the additional amount was planted. How very convenient for the police and the prosecuting attorney, because they used that money they "found" to successfully convince the judge that Luigi shouldn't be granted bail.

I hope every juror who has ever had a claim denied by health insurance lies about it in the interview.

This is the one I'm thinking of. Gotta be magic medial eyebrow growth in a week for those to be the same guy.

Edit: Also his nose bridge isn't the same and the guy's nose looks smaller than Luigi's overall even behind the mask.

His wanting to be caught would answer several of my questions, but makes me question his motives and plans even more relative to what happened.

If he wanted to be caught, why even flee New York? Why visit multiple cities in Pennsylvania after leaving NY? Why use a fake ID at all?

Yep, he's already been charged with 5 separate crimes in New York and at least two in Pennsylvania. It happened about 6 hours ago. That's lightning-fast, isn't it?

 

Too much stuff just doesn't add up to me.

  1. His family is very rich. They own at least one country club, possibly multiple, and he graduated from an Ivy League school. The wealthy class have phenomenal healthcare in the US so why would anyone rich want to whack a healthcare CEO?
  2. Why would any intelligent killer keep the murder weapon, the jacket he was wearing, the fake ID he used near the scene, and a manifesto on his person a week later? How incredibly convenient for the pigs to find.
  3. Why would any intelligent killer, with a wealthy family, be out in public at a McDonald's less than a week later, and not lying low on family property somewhere for months?
  4. Why does Luigi have such an obvious digital footprint when the Adjuster planned so well? In less than a day the media dug up stuff like his Goodreads account.
  5. Why do the photos the NYPD released look like at least 2 different men?
  6. Why did a grand jury indict Luigi so fast?

I think the real Adjuster is still out there and the pigs are absolutely desperate to have a "solved" class warfare incident. Luigi is either a plant or he's unlucky to have been nearby, doing "Suspicious Stuff", and is being framed with plenty of planted evidence.

Edit: Luigi claimed in his bail hearing that he had no clue where the $8,000 in cash he was "arrested with" came from and suggested it was planted on him. The prosecutors used it to deny him bail on the basis that he was "evading authorities". The pigs also claimed he had an additional $2000 in "foreign currency" on him, and that to me sounds like an obvious lie or plant to make him look like he intended to leave the country and get his bail denied
