Both are technically just suspects. Maduro may be a dictator, but his charges are pretty much made up. They should be difficult to prove in court, though I have no doubt in the prosecution's creativity and imagination.

If Eric Adams was still mayor, he'd be holding a ticker-tap parade for Maduro's arrest.

This has nothing to do with the person in custody and everything to do with the person in Gracie Mansion.

Because only one of these men is a threat to them.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Boring, but accurate reason: Because the rest of Maduro's armed escort are waiting along the pier

By the end he had a similar escort to Luigi. Certainly it's a statement that an alleged international drug lord and terrorist is given the same level of escort as an alleged CEO murderer, but the picture is missing important context - a dozen armed agents waiting to escort him just out of frame

No one is mentioning it, so I will: Maduro's armed escort is just out of frame. There are about a dozen armed agents that escort him to the armed transport. This picture is missing important context in that regard

There is something to be said about the fact an alleged CEO killer is given the same level of armed escort as an alleged international drug kingpin and terrorist, but this picture does not accurately describe the situation

Side note but is Maduro goddamn huge?? Or are those agents chosen for their stature to make him seem bigger

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

He is around 190 cm

So tall but not “god damn huge”

So tall but not “god damn huge”

Maybe if he was European, but for South American standards that is pretty damn huge

Yeah, guess who is never getting his picture taken next to Maduro.

I can't find any detailed data for Venezuela, but for Columbia that would literally be the 99.5th percentile of men

That's what she said

why does the larger one not simply eat the smaller ones?

That counts as a big dude to me. I'm 5' 11" and bigger than many of my coworkers.

Charlie Kirk was CEO of Toilet Paper USA

Another Victim of Communism to add to the wall.

People cosplay as tough guys online all the time. Hardly anyone else has the balls to be like Luigi (allegedly).

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

But all the woke trans assassins committing the violence crimes. Need to deploy US military in the big democrat cities. (Whatever happened with that anyway? Did the cabal decide yeah that was too much of a bad idea, so let’s do Venezuela instead?)

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The military basically just refused to turn on citizens. So they just showed up as ordered and cleaned trash and such

Not everyone has little enough to lose to go vigilante. Many of us have families to feed and can't afford to miss work over shooting a scumbag.

[–] lapping6596@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Most people with a similar background to Luigi have too much to lose. He was educated, knew how to make a plan and follow through, learning what he didn't know ahead of time. He knew how to navigate our systems in a way most people without that background won't. And really, most people with those skills have too much to lose if they're caught. The system protects itself by having us all be dependent on it.

Eric Adams needed that ego boost at the time, lol. Pathetic.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 11 points 6 months ago

he needed a pardon from trump down the line.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Neither deserve that anyway

I see some criminals there and one saint 😇

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 4 points 6 months ago

They are spectators themselves. Fans if you wish. They have seen a thousand dictators, but a Luigi is news to them.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago

Makes me think that one of these is scripted. Planned out WAAAY ahead of time. Just going through the motions now.
