For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.
I am now imagining that the trial starts... The jury walks in... Each and every one in that same sweater...
I bet the entire court will start sweating bullets 😂
“They are literally treating him like he is some sort of political fodder, like some sort of spectacle,” Agnifilo said. “He was on display for everyone to see in the biggest stage perp walk I’ve ever seen in my career, it was absolutely unnecessary. He’s been cooperative with law enforcement... There was no reason for the NYPD and everybody to have these big assault rifles.”
“It was perfectly choreographed, and what was the New York City Mayor doing at this press conference, your honor? That just made it utterly political,” she continued.
His lawyer seems to not be afraid to pull any punches, I like her.
She's far from unknown. She was high up in NYC for a while second to the ag. You can find videos of her on the midas touch network on YouTube.
I am legitimately shocked they're gonna let him go to court. The risk of jury nullification is too high, and people are ready to give him romantic power. If he ended up dead in his cell from a toilet paper noose, that would be a warning to the plebes to get back in line.
You mean when that happens. It's only a matter of time, unfortunately.
that would be a warning to the plebes to ~~get back in line.~~ bloody their guillotines.
FTFY. He won't get so much as a hangnail awaiting trial.
What? You're shocked they gave him due process? What was the other option?
Oh I see, are you saying they should have killed him in jail or something?
Are you saying that won't happen mysteriously in a few years time?
I don't doubt it at all that it would happen and that there would be no consequences. Which would ultimately lead to more ceo deaths imo. Would be a bad move.
Capitalism working as intended.
Intended is the next part where they roll out a premium line called LM
Then the scam cryptocurrency hits, what am I saying? that's probably already happened.
Jesus christ guys, does it get more vapid than consumerism as revolt?
People are conditioned to their environment. It's like the far right assholes who hate the system but don't understand that the real enemy is the rich and instead think we need to attack government. Yes, that's bad too, but class warfare is the real answer while they suck off Musk for his "epic posts."
I'm relieved that some amount of awareness is blooming. We can hope that it continues to develop.
I agree with what you're saying regarding consumerism, BUT...
I think it's way more important that people are showing support for Luigi. The elites can see this shit. If this is all we've got, I'll definitely take it. Just something to think about.
This is a disaster for the CEOs. Homeboy is going to get ended if the jury finds him not guilty.
Find him not guilty, the world celebrates the jury that spared Luigi and he goes onto become a hero.
Find him guilty, the world shames the judge that killed Luigi and he goes onto become a martyr.
There's no winning for the corporate elite here
The darker part of my psyche is a little giddy at the idea of CEOs shitting their boots cause there's a man on the loose in the world who is willing and able to murder them and that no one will ever convict him.
unfortunately there always is, and it's almost always the same. wait for it to die down.
The civil suits will destroy him even if he's found not guilty. He doesn't win either way either.
How do people even find out this stuff? Is there a reddit post saying I FOUND HIS SWEATER or something? Same with the backpack.
Even here there were people that were talking about the exact backpacks details. If you own the same thing you'll recognize it.
Here I am wondering how people afford to shop at Nordstrom while also being annoyed by the consumerism bullshit that is a blight on us all.
We don't have to solve every problem at all times. We are certainly allowed to narrow our focus here, from "everything that has ever sucked" to "enact universal healthcare now".
Let's keep our eyes on that ball.
I have one thing from there.
A company branded sweatshirt.
When I got hired they sent me the catalogue and said “pick something”, and I went “surely not, no, this is far too expensive for the one time I’ll wear it..” and they said “you need something for twice yearly meetings with the ceo, so just pick something.. ok?”
And so I got the absolute loudest (that I liked) multicolored zip front hoodie I could find and those bitches paid to have that shit embroidered with a logo nobody cares about or recognizes, and now I have a ridiculous sweatshirt that’s much higher quality than it deserves to be but cost THREE HUNDRED FUCKING FREEDOM DOLLARS, and thus occasionally gets worn even tho I don’t work there anymore.
I felt the same way about having to buy a suit for my sister's wedding. The bridesmaids will be able to wear those dresses again they're nice dresses and they don't obviously scream wedding, but when am I going to wear the suit again?
Wait, what? Usually the complaint is the other way around. A suit can be worn time and time again, in all kinds of occasions.
Just curious, how does your suit scream wedding?
I've used the suit I bought for my wedding countless times, just ditched the embroidered vest.
Are you saying that only poor people hate consumerism? Rejecting consumerism is an indirect way to gain wealth though frugality.
We are living in a simulation, truly.
Confirmed.
