Yeah I’m also struggling to see the logic in this.
The dude is already sort of a folk hero. If you kill him you will absolutely be creating a martyr. It’s going to be one of those things that might not make a big impact right away, but the worse shit gets for rank and file Americans the more they will remember Luigi. And that’s when you get copycats…
Exactly! So we throw him in a for-profit prison, where he is essentially a caged animal made to fight with the other caged animals. After a decade or two we put him out on parole with no marketable skills and a felony conviction to ensure nobody will hire him.
Then we act confused about why recidivism rates are high.
Oh for sure I agree.
I was just trying to point out the hypocrisy of jailing the gangbanger or letting him go versus throwing the book at Luigi and trying to execute him.
So riddle me this.
Inner City, poor area, 2:00 a.m.
One gang member approaches another rival gang member, pulls out an illegally modified full auto pistol, dumps an entire 30 round magazine into him.
Does he get the death penalty?
JUST because he’s black?
He would be harshly investigated by internal affairs and severely punished with a 30-day paid suspension. Not saying it’s like that everywhere, but it seems to happen like that an awful lot :-(
