He's not going to be epsteined. Epstein got epsteined because he knew too fucking much. Luigi doesn't know anything more I do, his use for the ruling class now is example.

Exactly. The turtle suit and "suicide watch" is because you get no blankets, the suit isnt particularly comfy, and a guard gets to bug you constantly to "check on you". It's harassment, plain and simple. They don't want to off him, they want to make him miserable.

I think quite simply, it makes him look crazy.

That, and it is torture. Those suits are cold, like you are in danger of hypothermia at all times cold.

Sure but if his peers decide he gets a reduced sentence or walks, he may become a symbol of much much more. Theyd prefer he "suicides himself".

I think it's a mix of powerful people wanting him dead to avoid using a trial as a platform for his beliefs along with the chance he is found not guilty by a sympathetic jury.

[–] Eatspancakes84@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hard disagree. If he goes on trial and is acquitted (or the jury is hung), that puts a target on all their backs. This is potentially much more dangerous than Epstein.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

hmm, that's also right, but I find it hard to believe he would be acquitted

[–] genevieve@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

I have no idea why he was arrested.

We were chilling on my yacht in the Mediterranean that day. Tupac brought the blunts.

Up to the jury, isn't it?

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah more likely he'll get the Aaron Swartz treatment.

I think they actually want to protect him because if he dies somehow, he'll become martyr.
