What kind of absurd image do the cops think they're projecting here? "Look. We're the badasses who hunted down the nation's #1 fugitive "

Uhh, no. You had no idea where Luigi was and it took a freaking McDonald's employee to tell you that he wasn't even in the state, anymore.

That's the funniest part. They think they look cool.

That's the terrible secret. It's not that the big guy doesn't care about the little guy. It's that they have their own agenda and our only purpose is to be sacrificed to that agenda.

Roof was rewarded because he did what the state wanted, if they could have gotten away with it they'd let him off like they did Zimmerman and Rittenhouse.

Well so far I've gotten none removed, but someone did threaten me privately that they notified the FBI about a post, I have no idea what. Cool.

Damn, you got (fbi) followers now? I'm jealous

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Mine always knows what I’m getting him for Christmas :(

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Pretty sure I'm getting a watch from them this Christmas! They put me on the list for one and everything.

I'm sure the FBI really appreciated that hot tip.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I am a super big threat to the security of CEOs.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago

In another thread someone said the fbi could seize their hardware as part of an investigation as it would contain evidence. Here’s what I’m wondering though, why wouldn’t the fbi just set up their own Lemmy instance. They’ll have access to all the same info. Except for PMs I suppose.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What makes you think they haven't?

Now im wondering which is more likely a honey pot, ml or hexbear?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Considering .ml was the first Lemmy instance, for it to be a honeypot the entire Lemmy network would have to be, it's just a bunch of tankies

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I’m thinking it’s .world, which is why it’s my main instance. Now .world has all of my info, I can rat out the rest of you scoundrels and neerdowells while maintaining plausible deniability.

You guys think there's an element of everyone wanting to be in the picture? As in it only takes one cop to walk him from A to B, but he's famous and this is a huge important case so they all come with just because you want to be close to important things

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

For sure. Look at the guy behind him with full tactical gear, sunglasses and headset.

It's a fucking costume party.

Maybe the theme was "Tactical" in Roblox Dress to Impress. Got the poses right and everything. He ate. So slay.

"I want tell you about the town of Stockbridge, Massachusets, where this happened here, they got three stop signs, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to the Scene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars, being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to get in the newspaper story about it." - Arlo Guthrie, Alice's Restaurant Massacree

Pigs will get six hours of overtime pay for this ten minute perp walk. Anyone depraved enough to be a cop would jump at the chance to steal more money from the citizens.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fun fact: dude to the left of Luigi walking behind him is NYC mayor Adams. His positioning is definitely intentional to be in the shot.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Vultures, someone (parasite or not) died in the street and their concern isn't a lost life or even the motivations of the alleged killer but how can they get their photo op.

I still can't get over the fact the dude's name is "Luigi Mansion."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Die I miss something? That guy is called Mangione, which is: "Gluttony"

But... if translated into German and then to English it's "Wolverine"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the joke is on the pronunciation.

The G is followed by an I, making it "soft" in Italian, so Mangione could sound sort of like mansion-eh.

Not really, but close enough.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah that kind of works in "Nintendo Italian" [=

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They need that many because even cops hated that CEO and the quantity here is to ensure they don't just let Luigi go.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Because if there's one thing US police are known for, it's accountability

The whole thing of "they took him for Burger King" is a red herring. Cops are required to feed you. Some departments have policies about always checking if a new arrestee is hungry, and getting them some fast food if they say yes, so their attorney can't say later that they were coerced during questioning because they had been denied food for whatever amount of time.
