Planting a gun to ensure a conviction? I think the whole “Luigi didn’t do it” conspiracy is silly. Yeah he did it, for sure. And he’s a damn hero for doing it. I don’t see how the ruling class benefits by throwing the wrong guy in jail and letting the killer go free. If there was a non Luigi killer he would have claimed responsibility by now.

And yes I’ve seen the photos of his eyebrow in a shitty security cam, hairs reflect light or become invisible depending on the lighting and camera quality. Luigi hasn’t even denied it flat out. But yes, Luigi did it and praise him for it.

How is “Luigi didn’t do it” a silly conspiracy but saying "Yeah he did it, for sure." not?

Why would the real killer have claimed responsibility? That's assuming the vigilante is serial killer adjacent and was aiming for notoriety thwarting police by killing CEOs instead of normal people.

And why are you assuming that the cabal of rich dickheads could have apprehended the real killer but chose Luigi regardless? Instead of having no reliable suspect and being given a effigy to burn publicly because of a call-in and an over-eager (and corrupt), local police force?

Conspiracies make people feel smart and special, like they know THE TRUTH about something that everyone else isn’t aware of. The real world is more straight forward and not a spy thriller. He did it, and he’s a damn saints for doing it

Okay, nice move: in one play, an oblique dig at my intelligence and dismissing valid questions out of hand without addressing anything.

It isn't a spy thriller for cops to grab the wrong guy to quickly close a case. It happens to black people all the time.

Here's the thing: they're saying it's him, but the evidence is poor and suspicious, and they've been making lots of procedural "mistakes" trying to put him away. Like way too many obvious mistakes that you just can't afford to make in a case like this.

Maybe he did it, maybe he just vaguely looks like a guy in a low-quality photo near the scene of the crime.

I think there are enough issues with the entire process that I wouldn't assume he's definitely the guy. But he's the face that's been associated with the so called crime, and it gives people something to rally around.

No he’s definitely the guy. I can see them breaking rules and jumping hoops to try and throw him hard under that bus, but it’s most certainly him

The police worked very hard to make you think it was him. Like planting all this"damning evidence" on him for his... trip to McDonald's a week later.

Sounds like somebody is gonna get summoned for jury duty.
