"Killing evil people is only okay in theory, putting it into practice is a step too far"

This is hilarious because when my Dad was alive, a long pause like that usually meant he completely agreed but felt like a father shouldn't say that.

Luigi was just being sarcastic.

[–] blujan@sopuli.xyz 15 points 7 months ago

Luigi didn't do it. He was with me in Mexico.

Who's joking?

No joke, the allleged shooter Luigi was right. Except it wasn’t him, he was playing poker with me in Arizona on that day.

Luigi was just saying the quiet part out loud.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

not that loud; the sound was allegedly muffled by a silencer.

Loud enough to be heard, but quiet enough for the bougie mouthpieces of the MSM to miss the message apparently

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

i think the panic they're showing is precisely because they did get the message.

They eventually got it but at first all the propaganda outlets were parroting “what possibly could have motivated such a cold blooded act?!?”in unison with Surprised pikachu face energy

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't think any of that was genuine to be honest

I think people who spend more on weekend vacations than you or i could earn in a dozen consecutive lifetimes are so vapid and unable to read a room without their army of advisors to tell them which way the wind blows that it is very likely they did not adequately assess the situation until the second news cycle
