    Damn. Looks like you guys are headed for a system that treats rich people and poor people differently. Where you can get away with countless felony charges just for being of a particular status in society. Where they’ll push for the death penalty for someone that shoots a CEO but sleep when schools get shot up. I feel bad for you guys that all of this is only going to start happening to you on January 20, 2025.

      I mean we’ve always really been that place but at least the 1% had the decency to pretend they were for fair and equal treatment and justice for all.

        Ok, so I was going with the online buzz around Luigi described in this article. According to the article, the claim is debunked but it then goes on to describe how school shooters have received terrorism charges and ended up with life in prison, but gives no examples of school shooters being given the death penalty. So I’m half wrong, as far as I’m concerned. They did almost immediately start talking about the death penalty for Luigi. And they haven’t gone that far with school shooters.
