The reason cited by the mods is misinformation. Not supporting violence, or any other reason. Saying that Luigi isn’t the shooter is considered misinformation and trolling.

In America, the law is innocent until proven guilty. But on lemmy.world, the rule is guilty until proven innocent, and anyone saying the accused is innocent is a troll.

    They didn’t presume, they stated it as a fact. As he’s in court, his innocence is obviously being questioned and consequently cannot be ruled out anymore. And that aside, the evidence against him is more than just crushing.

      Thankfully, that’s not actually how criminal justice works in the US, and it would be really fucked up if it was illegal to say that a defendant is innocent of the charges.

      A reminder that your original post was that you thought it was necessary to remove posts saying Luigi is innocent in order to follow the law. It’s a good thing that’s not actually true, because it would be incredibly dystopian if it was illegal to even say you think that a defendant is innocent.

        The law part was about their complaint about glorifying violence (see some of his past stuff he complained about, though I think the last one I checked he deleted).

      Even if he’s in court he’s still innocent, until (or even after) the court pronounces themselves. Courts don’t somehow magically generate a quantum state of truthfulness, they only declare legal terms.
