If Luigi dies, he won't be the only one

[–] [email protected] 131 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (8 children)

He's not going to be epsteined. Epstein got epsteined because he knew too fucking much. Luigi doesn't know anything more I do, his use for the ruling class now is example.

[–] [email protected] 112 points 2 days ago

Exactly. The turtle suit and "suicide watch" is because you get no blankets, the suit isnt particularly comfy, and a guard gets to bug you constantly to "check on you". It's harassment, plain and simple. They don't want to off him, they want to make him miserable.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think quite simply, it makes him look crazy.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

That, and it is torture. Those suits are cold, like you are in danger of hypothermia at all times cold.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago

I think it's a mix of powerful people wanting him dead to avoid using a trial as a platform for his beliefs along with the chance he is found not guilty by a sympathetic jury.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

I think they actually want to protect him because if he dies somehow, he'll become martyr.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago

Sure but if his peers decide he gets a reduced sentence or walks, he may become a symbol of much much more. Theyd prefer he "suicides himself".

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Hard disagree. If he goes on trial and is acquitted (or the jury is hung), that puts a target on all their backs. This is potentially much more dangerous than Epstein.

They're already being so awful at such a massive scale that it's highly unlikely something similar won't happen again. The worse they are to Luigi, the more fuel they throw on the fire that they created.

It's always an option for them to stop doing terrible things systemically. They're the ones who control that, and it's up to them to do it.

So they’re basically low-grade torturing him just because they can?

Disgusting.

[–] DarkSirrush 172 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not low grade, its straight up actual torture.

Solitary confinement (which he has been put in unprompted multiple times) can make a person go insane, sleeping on a concrete floor with a back that had to be reconstructed can and will cause irreversible damage.

Just because it isn't visible damage, does not make it a lesser form of torture.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago

Sounds like he must have been right about something.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla 110 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm sure the CEO has been replaced after his death, so the same should happen with Luigi in the event that happens.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Doesn't seem like we've had any copycats yet despite how many healthcare CEOs out there?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They all hired private security, many left the country and almost all are avoiding appearing in public or having their names known.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ooh nice, chase everyone off to their own private islands.

People need to show up outside the courthouse and educate anyone who enters about jury nullification

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Knowing about jury nullification is grounds to get you off the jury. Juries are already instructed they have that choice (in different words)

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (15 children)

It's enough to get you excluded from the jury, but if you are already chosen you deserve to be told explicitly: you can nullify this prosecution if you think it is wrongful

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is jury tampering. As long as violence is not involved, it is only a misdemeanor punishable by a $1000 fine in my state

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Ew, I totally would never crowdfund for that kind of behavior. We should share it around if anything so depraved were ever to surface so we never accidentally support doing such things. Despicable.

I just floated the idea of flying to protest to my partner. 21st is a Friday. We could make it a weekend trip and be stupid tourists (we’ve each been multiple times, so there’s really no motivation to go other than Luigi). We’ll see what she says.

Epstein knew too much. Luigi is just hot.

If I lived anywhere near New York I’d be there

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Like they're gonna be able to make Saint Luigi disappear.

Lol.
