But what about the "depose" part?
The Privacy app might help in this regard. It allows you to set up temporary credit cards to avoid reoccurring charges and the like.
This deserves it's own post!
I, for one, don't think he did it.
The initial pictures of the suspect from CCTV cameras doesn't match a single picture of Luigi taken after being arrested. Different nose. Different brow line. Different eyebrows. Different eyes... So no, I don't think he did it either. Dude's being set up as a patsy.
Seriously.
All we have are a few grainy-ass photos and a giant fucking "trust me bro" from the cops.
I said something about it somewhere else... while I try not to get my hopes up about things, is there possibility of an imposter thats been thoroughly looked into? Many past high profile crimes have had people eager to turn themselves in for it. This is pretty high profile.
Why does he talk about injustice for the country rather than... Y'know, saying they got the wrong guy? The killer was hot, rich, and hated the Healthcare system. They just happened to dig up another hot rich dude that hated ceos and framed him?
Seems highly plausible. It also wouldn't be hard for them to do.
One that's willing to take the fall for something he didn't do? This is failing occams razor hard.
Who said he's willing to take the fall? He pled not guilty.
Railing about the people is not the same as "I am literally not that guy."
It does seem like they just found a bunch of pics of random guys with a hood and jacket along with some with a mask added to make them all seem linked.
He was with me. We were making sweet sweet love on piles of money and writing a manifesto in a hotel room. I just went out for ice!!
If recent history is anything to go by this guy could be president one day
Compulsory election, anyone?
Y'all had your chance somehow the majority of Americans voted for the rapist
Was it even the majority of voters?

Anyway, it still went horribly wrong.
The plurality of voters.
Distinction accepted
I could see a lot of people drawn to the idea of that.
Did it days ago with picture from CCTV footage. Though, it's obviously not him:

Good on him. If you’re guilty, waste their fucking time. Make it unprofitable to deal with you. Become ungovernable.
Not guilty by way of self defense?
