    He has admitted in court that he purposefully killed Thompson and has pled guilty to stalking causing death.

    I shot Mr Thompson and he died. I understood that my actions would place him in fear of death or bodily injury. I knew what I was doing was illegal.

    His murder trial is up in the air because of rules around double jeopardy, but the fact that he did purposefully kill Thompson is no longer alleged.

    Allegedly admitted in court

    /s -- I have not been following the trial, had not seen he confessed to it. I still think they fucked him on procedure, and even if he's guilty this is one case where I would like to see those procedural violations result in acquittal.

    Luigi's method is what's needed and inevitable when the rich and their pet politicians stop Mario from fixing things the polite way for long enough.

    And not only that, Mario’s method only works because of the threat of Luigi.

    The only reason why we have worker rights is because communist scared the shit out of FDR.

    So it’s fully reasonable to condone the Luigi method but support their desire to make positive change.

    I like the two-prong approach to civil rights. It gives a carrot-and-stick incentive to our oppressors. If you pay attention and give us what we want when we ask nicely, the other wing of the movement won't hunt you down like the vampires you are.

    Violence isn't the answer but it has to be an answer. A possibility. The last alternative. It is the reason peaceful resistance can work.

    Violence isn’t the answer, it’s the loss of hope.

    Okay but violence built the success of modern Germany. Hitler utterly trashed the economy, and did some other bad things too.

    Yes, when the hope that leaders would listen vanishes, it becomes a viable way to reclaim control of the country’s path. The problem is when people appropriate or misrepresent it to mean that it’s an answer to when you’re losing or insulted.

    Luigi is going to be a very successful celebrity when he gets out of prison. I know I'll be sending him a few dollars once he gets out and starts a patreon.

    He's pretty successful now and you are welcome to add to his legal fund or his comissionary in jail.

    Oh, I'm outside the US so I'm sure giving money to a US prison for his account would be needlessly convoluted, not to mention My ethical issues with paying a prison. I'll wait until he's free so he can spend every dollar I give him on whatever he wants, at the same prices free people pay.

    I just think you don't care enough.

    Words are cheap without action.

    UK here, happily gave money to the fund (don't care about the taxes)

    They have a really good point, and it's super clear neither of you have been to prison. Money in commissary at one place not following when you get transferred and money staying with the prison when you get released are both real problems. More than ~$1k on your books really isn't an advantage, can't buy much past snacks/hygiene/sometimes very limited entertainment stuff anyways. Withholding entirely until he's out is pretty lame though, being able to buy a toothbrush and a tiny bag of chips for $25 is the least he deserves. I've never dealt with someone famous being locked up, but usually you try to get money to someone outside they trust who can pay lawyers/put it on books as needed
