This is a fun story, but Luigi didn't kill anyone. It was the Adjuster

Correct, Innocent until proven guilty.

Got to keep reminding people of that while things play out. I do hope his defense is able to prove that the chain of custody of the evidence is suspect and that luigi isnt their guy, but we're seeing the trial play out through the media anyway, and they seem to have made up their mind...

Luigi is unfortunately more than just a person at this point, theres 'Luigi' the flesh and blood human and then theres 'Luigi' the symbolic martyr robinhood saint of the modern oppressed empoverished.

The actual court case and the real human being have become secondary to the abstract symbol giving a face to peoples frustrations and vengeance fantasies. Many people want him to be the one who did it to make the cultural icon legend a for sure reality. If Luigi were proven innocent many people would believe anyway and go wink wink nudge nudge. If he's proven guilty, it only furthers the martyrdom and fuels the fire which is what protestors ad anarchist really want more. Is a win win from a bystander pov.

People will believe whatever they want until proven otherwise and spout bullshit on the internet anyways but throw a dash of emotional bias into the mix and it really starts to cook.

My hope is that when he gets exonerated, that people leave him alone. Let the Robin Hood-like figure of Luigi be the martyr, but leave the person Luigi alone.

He doesn’t ever have to talk but never pays for a shot at a bar.

Innocent does not mean he didn't do it. You're mixing up different terms.

Besides, unless the police retroactively managed to forge a bunch of stuff online, there's a lot pointing towards him having done it.

The police have done a lot of shady shit that will hopefully free him, but the entire conspiracy that they just picked up some random guy is a bit much.

Luigi has the wrong eyebrows and not enough people are talking about that

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

That point is why I think he absolutely didn't do it.

I would still love to see this person go on the stand to give a victim impact statement.
