    You seem to not understand the deterrent effect of being the target of a murder while somehow fully understanding the deterrent effect of being the target of a murder trial.

    I’m having a hard time interpreting that position as anything but a bad faith argument.

      I seem to not see the deterrent effect of being the target of a murder because there demonstrably is no measurable effect.

      Promoting Luigi as anything other than a guy who killed another guy is a bad faith argument. People should go donate to Bernie Sander’s organization to elect young competent progressives, or give to a children’s hospital instead, do some actual good. Luigi doesn’t need your money, he has his own.

        I think your jumping the gun on saying that. Changes take time and ripple out from many different events.

          You think I’m jumping the gun to say donating to a Children’s Hospital would be better than donating to a rich man’s defense fund? If that’s what you think then I hardly care for your opinion, tbh.
