  Hoenstly, probably better than being homeless. Life in prison as a local hero among inmates for deposing a capitalist.

    I was homeless, and also briefly in jail for doing something others had respected; jail sucks and is never preferable, but it certainly made things a lot easier than it would have been had I not entered with respect. On my first day I was receiving gatorades, instant noodles, and muffins from people stopping by my cell. I even was given all the paper and pencils I wanted to do my art.

    Homelessness was risky, but I would still choose it over jail with respect. Not to say that the sacrifice wouldn’t be worth it if you did the right thing.

      Just out of sheer curiosity… What’d you do to get respected right away? Aside from merc’ing a CEO or a pedophile, I can’t think of many other things.

        I really don’t want to describe too much as my identity could be found from it, but it helped that it was all over the news. Before anyone realized that it was me, people were trying to intimidate me from the cells by yelling things at me. Once people found out that the news was about me, things turned around fast.

        Better is one way to put it. Though I may end up homeless again if I can’t find some work soon. I just had a ton vet bills for a sick pet come in and I injured my leg, it’s not super great prospects at the moment. :(

  There’s not a lot of overlap in the Venn diagram between the type of person described in this text and someone like Luigi. Remember, Luigi was the Valedictorian of his class. To do what he (possibly) did requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, and skill. You’re talking about someone that allegedly manufactured their own weapon from scratch, tracked down the CEO of a fortune 500 company, plotted for a moment of peak vulnerability, and was able to escape the scene of the crime in a daring and intricately planned escape. Oh, and he also managed to do it all in a way that turned him into a beloved folk hero.

  With Luigi’s alleged crime, you’re looking at the work of genuinely skilled and intelligent person. Someone like the guy in this green text isn’t going to be taking down any CEOs or politicians any time soon.
