    Honestly he was so smart to be able to get away basically undetected. After I reflected on it for a bit, there’s no way he would unintentionally be presenting the same fake ID, manifesto and carrying all the stuff he had. It seems deliberate.

    Luigi will be remembered as the one who took on American Healthcare and actually did something about it, even if the full weight of billionaire-owned media and the full force of the law is going to be dumped on him.

      I still don’t get this play here…

      Why have all that shit on him.

      Just go back and act like nothing happened.

      I guess time will tell.

        I can’t say for sure whether it is the right decision.

        Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for obeying just laws and disobeying unjust laws openly. This could be in the same vein.

        Of course it could be in vain but I don’t know. For sure I would have liked him to get away undetected. But probably knowing that he would eventually be caught regardless, to do it on his terms while he has a broad swath of support might have been his decision. He already humiliated the police from being able to catch him long enough.
