Comment on The man who owes Nintendo $14m: Gary Bowser and gaming’s most infamous piracy case
Badeendje@lemmy.world 1 year agoI’m always surprised with the enormous show of force in cases like this. I could imagine sending him a letter informing him that he and his lawyer need to show up at the police office on date X would have been sufficient.
Ruby Ridge.
Waco. They sent in fucking tanks, burnt the place down.
Those are two off the top of my head.
With Ruby Ridge the FBI entrapped him, then shot his dog, and then his son who was protecting his dog. Then his wife.
Every cocksucker FBI agent involved should be on billboards, then hanged (the old fashioned way) on the White House lawn.
a religious cult that was armed to the teeth, who refused to surrender to the police in a 50+ day siege and had prepped their own compound with flammables.
That’s all very likely propaganda spread by the FBI after shit went down. Incidentally these two collosal fuck ups is what inspired the unibomber.
Ye, they were a bit cultish, but most of the propaganda definitely came after the fact/during. I remember thinking “where the hell did this cult stuff come from suddenly?”
And even if they were cultish, none of the PR justifies the feds actions.
And Timothy McVeigh.
Don’t worry, if a big corporation would have defrauded him for a few millions, I’m sure they would have gotten a letter.

Hasbro sent the literal Pinkertons after a Youtuber over Magic cards recently.
