Because it’s about sending a message. They’ve seen how popular this guy and his actions have become and are trying to throw everything at him so it puts off any copycats.
Except all they have done is make him a martyr, and now anyone who wants to be infamous is more likely to do something.
The death penalty has not been executed in NY/federal court for decades right? Doesn’t seem like an actual threat. What they want to achieve is a good negotiating position for a plea bargain because they known a trial will be a shitshow.
True, hopefully it will backfire.
Haven’t seen any copycats yet.
Plans take time. Better wait a few weeks until the CEOs start to relax again
Death penalty increases violence because murdering the person catching you becomes a way to increase your likelihood of surviving.
So basically, killing Luigi would not make copycats less likely, but it WOULD make it more likely for copycats to shoot CEOs AND cops?
Hmm… The killing of Luigi itself would be awful, of course, but the consequences of it sound like a win to me 🤔
No, the death penalty increasing violence is about incentives.
If I shoot someone dead and you are the only witness, I have a choice to make. If I do not want to be executed, killing you is the best chance for escaping punishment.
The more severe the punishment the more desperate one will become to avoid it.
[oh no… Anyway. PNG]
Death penalty backfires because it demonstrates fear for what this person keeps saying.
That would make him a martyr. I’m thinking the plan is to lock him up in max for life, then control the media narrative whenever his name comes up again.
Everyone who saw how this thing went down gonna have to spend their lives correcting false narratives they will weave.
We didn’t do know for snowden, public opinion got split altht funny enough it seems people have came around on Snowden.
Either way, luigi did not do anything wrong
