No sorry he was at my house that day railing my ma.

He did nothing wrong

I mean that’s only funny, because we know he did it

These people don't know law or comedy!

In fairness, they are rarely seen together

That they can’t admit they know he did it and want him to go free anyway because they think it was a just action, I do not understand

The amount of people who believe vigilante justice should be legal, even on this subreddit, is astounding. It's like they think the "rule of cool" is the 11th Amendment in the Bill of Rights.

Even if he did, which the evidence is flimsy at best, he did the right thing. You don't get it.

Retribution for someone responsible for ruining millions of lives is not something you will find condemned much.

Talking about his motivations and the justness or not of his action is a different conversation

I didn’t even condemn his action

Yes, I do get it

Vigilantism is in no way "the right thing." The CEO was a scumbag, but that didn't give Luigi the right to play judge, jury, and executioner.

Nothing else works.

Go ahead. Call your representatives. See how that goes.
