Good. You know the cops are going to hide everything they can and hope he’ll just get buried under assumptions and persuasions.
Remember:
- Luigi is innocent. The state and federal governments must prove to a jury he’s guilty.
- disinformation is rampant.
- both governments NEED a scapegoat to appease the rich, who are actually afraid of a movement.
- cops, the NYC mayor, and the prosecutors are sloppy. They’ve already made mistakes, and want to hide them.
Free Luigi!
“FOIA” - “Freedom of Information Act”, for anyone wondering
Fun fact: Anyone can file a FOIA request. You don’t even have to be American.
I don’t know why all of that information isn’t just public to begin with.
Because it would cause too much societal whiplash to, all at once, we see a transformation from a world where information like this is closed away, to a world where it’s all public. Often the accessibility of information depends on logistics like where data should be stored, and whether something counts as “public” if some information can only be accessed by, let’s say, booking an appointment to see paper records only available at an archive.
FOI are a concession. Legislation that allows them is how we bridge the gap between the abstract political ideology of “this information should be public”, and the pragmatic challenge of information infrastructure. That is to say that you’re entirely right, and that information obtainable via FOIA should just be public info. However, submitting skillful FOIAs can be a powerful tool towards making more information free generally — more FOIA requests being made can encourage organisations to revamp their information management such that they can fulfill FOIA requests more easily (perhaps even making information available to pre-empt such requests). Repeatedly non-compliant organisations may be forced to comply, if held accountable by an effective information commissioner or ombudsman. (That’s a big “if”).
In short, they’re a step towards pushing for more widespread, public information
Thank you !
They had to try to convince me to be religious.
At some point I realized they weren’t trying to “teach” me. They were trying to “convince” me. All while clearly unconvinced themselves.
I began equating “sales effort” with “lying” at a very early age, but i digress
So they tried to convince me to be religious. No one tried to convince me to be atheist. I just was.
They are really trying to convince me that Luigi is some bad dude.
No one is trying to convince me that he’s a hero. He just is.
Good! Go for the source
Hottaketimes for the winThey keep showing a picture of someone that is supposed to look like a criminal. All I ever see is a hero.
Malfunctions/Misplacements incoming
Lmao even his goons admit he’s got no chance in court.
Being judgemental filth ignorant to the facts on hand won’t serve you well. Not here and not elsewhere in life.
That’s their default position, they’ve previously defended Nazis ffs
I’ve never defended nazis.
You’re such liberal filth, any change in global order makes you disgusted, I haven’t seen you say shit about Palestine yet you yap in about the Ukrainian war, even donations to the Lemmy effort make you mad, fucking bastard
Lmao, you’re trying so hard to make a martyr out of some guy who didn’t even bother to take aim at one of the politicians responsible for the industry.
Really letting the cat out of the bag that you don’t give a f about this case and just want to use it to push your agenda.
