      Nope, I’m saying it’s been prevalent on Lemmy and that everyone who created, shared or upvoted that content has absolutely no basis for going “Presumed innocent!”

      If you think Luigi’s a hero, you have no basis for saying he didn’t shoot and kill thr guy.

          I’m addressing the hive mind who simultaneously believes Luigi is a hero but also somehow did not kill a guy.

          Both of those statements cannot be true at the same time.

          Lemmy loves Luigi and cannot stand the idea that he’s anything but an avenging angel sent from heaven.

          If you believe that, you can’t also believe he didn’t kill anyone.

          This is different from the common phrase “he didn’t do anything WRONG.” Which recognizes that, yeah, he killed the guy, but it was justified.

              I’m open if there is new evidence, so far I’m not seeing it.

              We have photographic evidence, clearly showing his face, of Luigi in the area wearing the same clothing as did in the shooting video.

              Then, on capture, they find the gun used in the shooting.

              So, yeah, he plugged the guy. Criminal liability is a different question. Murder? Manslaughter? Justifiable homicide? That’s where the court comes in.

              You don’t need a guilty verdict to say he killed the guy.

            Wrong, it’s entirely possible for a person to make memes celebrating him as a symbol of resistance while also acknowledging the very real possibility that he’s innocent
