  True, hopefully it will backfire.

    Death penalty increases violence because murdering the person catching you becomes a way to increase your likelihood of surviving.

      So basically, killing Luigi would not make copycats less likely, but it WOULD make it more likely for copycats to shoot CEOs AND cops?

      Hmm… The killing of Luigi itself would be awful, of course, but the consequences of it sound like a win to me 🤔

      Death penalty backfires because it demonstrates fear for what this person keeps saying.

        That would make him a martyr. I’m thinking the plan is to lock him up in max for life, then control the media narrative whenever his name comes up again.

  The death penalty has not been executed in NY/federal court for decades right? Doesn’t seem like an actual threat. What they want to achieve is a good negotiating position for a plea bargain because they known a trial will be a shitshow.
