      Death penalty increases violence because murdering the person catching you becomes a way to increase your likelihood of surviving.

        So basically, killing Luigi would not make copycats less likely, but it WOULD make it more likely for copycats to shoot CEOs AND cops?

        Hmm… The killing of Luigi itself would be awful, of course, but the consequences of it sound like a win to me 🤔

        Death penalty backfires because it demonstrates fear for what this person keeps saying.

          That would make him a martyr. I’m thinking the plan is to lock him up in max for life, then control the media narrative whenever his name comes up again.

            Everyone who saw how this thing went down gonna have to spend their lives correcting false narratives they will weave.

            We didn’t do know for snowden, public opinion got split altht funny enough it seems people have came around on Snowden.

            Either way, luigi did not do anything wrong
