What we could use less of is the association of Luigi with *the deed*, otherwise its a continuation of state narrative with deadly consequences as they want him executed. Government lies, so do cops, don't trust their word.

Do we need more action against the rich and powerful? Yes. Whoever acts may their identity remain secret and the person free.
