The aesthetics are incredible. It's one of the best looking movies ever. But the plot's got some holes. It's fun and pretty but not great.
So I just finished reading the motion filed by Luigi's lawyer and it kind of sounds like this warning might be in response to that. One argument put forward is that the only evidence of an attempt to cause fear in a generalized population (justifying the terrorism charges) is actually information that the police themselves publicized. The lawyer argues that the only atmosphere of fear in the case was created by the police. So it seems the judge may want to remind officials that they are fucking this up by bragging about it so loudly.
Imagine being a person whose family member was killed by an immigrant or something similarly horrible. Imagine the government just shipping that guy off without a trial, without a chance to put the evidence on the table and show beyond a shadow of a doubt they killed your family member. Is that justice?
Yes, they often take the form of shields, seven pointed stars, and Punisher skulls. These things identify them as street-roaming gang bangers and armed thugs.
As a bi guy, it doesn't work any different for us. We're attracted to men and women whether we like it or not. We don't choose our attractions. We don't think it's a choice.
Did not read the entire article, but the first thing that stands out to me is the survey question itself:
Because things have gotten so far off track, true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.
This language is extremely in line with fascistic rhetoric. So the people agreeing to this are likely Trump supporters. Maybe this is a good thing that most people think democracy is in trouble but only 23% of them think fascism is the solution.
I quote this movie weekly at least, often with sound effects that make people think I'm crazy. Love this live action cartoon.
