Oops. I forgot the /s

Proving Luigi wasn't there somehow would be their job in court. Considering he was arrested, there may not be a clearly provable alibi like in To Kill A Mockingbird.

It also left a great opportunity for someone else to comment and fill in the thinking for other readers. 🫠

The best answer here @qtpie@piefed.social

That could be. I'm still vouching for the "conspiracy" that Luigi actually didn't do anything but was selected as a lookalike scapegoat. The similar looks is what prompted the McDonald employee to call, and they incompetently called the police instead of the tip line.

True. I disliked all his talking points but he hasn't been a part of my zeitgeist.

Yeah, those actions had a significantly larger impact, but don't forget the contribution to stalling escalation some groups like the Black Panthers achieved. Nonviolence often beats out violence, but it won't deter everyone.🩷

America is dark at a ~~non~~functional level. Community is the remnants of the light.

And how beautiful a flame is. Evokes emotion too, like panic. Definitely art.

You should read about the Frontier days in America after the Louisiana Purchase. Might I suggest the testimony of Dee Harkey?

Harkey continued, “Each person pretty much enforced the laws as he understood them. If the strong imposed his gun on the weak, or became ruthless in his dealings with his fellow man, there was always the posse.”

Were the majority of the posses which lynched accused men justified in their actions?

“Regardless of how men are tried, except by God alone, there are possibilities of mistakes. Those people who had to dish out punishment themselves instead of having someone dish it out for them, as is done today after sentence is pronounced, were usually pretty sure of the guilt before the punishment. Naturally, the formed posses were never considered a means to an end. They were just about as unpopular with the law as the lawless.”
