        I remember a video right after he was taken into custody of inmates yelling out the windows about “free luigi” and “luigis conditions are terrible” of course they love him. He killed a greedy healthcare CEO, you could argue he did the world a favor.

          I hope every inmate makes it clear that Luigi is cool with them and that anyone who does something similar will receive a warm welcome, that might make things interesting.

    The truth is that he may never see daylight. They want to make an example of him lest others get similar ideas.

    People with nothing to lose have little reason not to follow his example and make the greedy fuckers in this society pay.

    This isn’t really abnormal. He’s accused of murder, and a pretty high profile one at that. It’s not uncommon in the slightest for people accused of high profile crimes and people accused of murder to be held in custody pending trial.

      To clarify: There are only two actual reasons that you can legally be held without bail. The first reason is that you’re considered a flight risk. The second reason is that you’re considered a danger to yourself or others if let out of prison before your trial.

      For the first reason, this basically means that the courts don’t believe you would return for your trial, and would flee instead. Maybe you’re rich enough that you can afford to lose the bail money. Maybe you have international connections and can disappear to another country. Maybe you just have a history of fleeing. The Adjuster is 100% without a doubt a flight risk. He fled authorities and evaded a nationwide manhunt for an entire week. And since Luigi is accused of being The Adjuster, he is considered a flight risk.

      For the second reason, this is basically the court going “you were accused of something so violent or egregious that we don’t trust you to avoid doing something similar again while out on bail.” This is most often used with cases like school shooters, serial killers, serial rapists, serial burglars, etc… Basically, the prosecutor argues that if they’re let out, they’ll just fall right back into their old ways again. But a scummy pro-corporation prosecutor could construe The Adjuster as a violent extremist who is likely to strike again.

        Maybe you and everyone else knows that you committed homicide, and your freedom is worth more to you than any amount of money.

      Even if you wanted to break him out, he’s here:
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Detention_Center,_Brooklyn

      Good fucking luck.

      There’s simply nothing to do but wait for his case.

      Nothing to do but get the prisons blueprints, have said blueprints tattooed onto body but covertly hidden within a being design. Then commit a serious but non violent crime to land yourself in the prison and then prison break

        The premise of Michael’s tattoos was so much cooler than the actual execution and need for them. His tattoos were basically “here’s a tiny screwdriver shape in this giant demon”, “here’s a number that I could just have remembered but instead put it on a clock”, and so on.

        1. it’s not for naught, it’s for support. if you think support is useless, that’s like, your opinion, man. lots of people disagree.

        3. no one will be surprised pikachu, everyone knows that there’s only a slim to zero chance of a not guilty verdict. who doesn’t like to root for the underdog sometimes?

    They would absolutely not allow him to die in prison.

    They want to make a public example of him in order to show the proletariat they are the masters.

    They will find a way to find him guilty and they will execute him.

    They will make sure we all know it.

    Why are people generally in prison? Usually because they’re violent, drug addicted or at odds with the status quo.

    Luigi is in prison accused of killing a man responsible for getting people hooked on drugs, marginalizing the already marginalized and poor, and ruining the lives of millions.

    I think the inmates would be more likely to treat him like a hero.

        The guards and administration want him alive.

        People like Epstein die in prison because showing up in court runs the risk of taking down powerful people. People like Luigi always have their day to be dragged through the mud in court before they rot away forever in jail, with random reminders that they’re still alive and suffering.

          Part of me wonders what discovery would come up with if they got access to united health’s database. If they want to go with the argument that it was justified; they probably could get at least some limited access.

          Generally theyre not allowed to go on fishing expeditions, but they are allowed to seek documents and data directly pertaining to their defense (like a pattern of criminal malpractice.)

    I think they’re going to try and find a way to kill him to send a strong example as to what happens to people in his place.

    But then I hope it does happen because it’ll only make him a martyr.

    America is a country of fat, lazy, cowards that can’t be bothered to not litter. Much less fight and die for anything besides an 80" tv.

      The question is easier to answer with any sympathy and understanding when you ask any given individual if they’re personally planning a jailbreak on behalf of this person. At least that seems to be the calculus for what “tolerate” means here.

      There’s little room for parties not directly involved to work within the system and if the independence of the judiciary is under suspicion then “fight and die” is literally the prospect people would have to face to reasonably do anything about this and that’s a pretty high bar, one which I doubt many would-be critics of the “fat, lazy cowards” would be willing clear themselves.

    I mean he’s accused of premeditated murder, has the resources to flee, and I’m pretty sure “they” want a spectacle to make an example.

    they wont let him get shanked by accident, and they wont Epstein him until they have their spectacle

      There is a lot of reasonable doubt: no matching eyebrows, different clothes, suspicious evidence processing, disconnect in time-line, weird arrest conditions…

      No, he is a revolutionary, and you are a person with your thumb up your butt. And there’s nothing wrong with having your thumb up your butt, but you are in denial about having your thumb up your butt.
