Those in power are joining together to seek the death penalty for Luigi. They're trying to erase his impact by going after any street art that represents him and kill him as quickly as possible without igniting a riot.
Stumbled upon this take and just enjoyed the perspective. The person goes on to outline wording that should be used if someone is wanting to get onto the panel. I didn't include that but I can if folks are interested
"Announcing the death penalty in a super liberal city isn’t just performative, it’s a tactical move to shape the jury pool. Since death penalty cases require death-qualified jurors (anyone fundamentally opposed gets removed), this effectively narrows the pool to the most conservative-leaning people in an otherwise liberal area.
Prospective jurors will need to speak very carefully about their capital punishment beliefs in order to make the cut. Not just in juror interviews, but online and in public as well.
If they can’t find enough jurors who are open to the death penalty, prosecutors can push for a venue change, arguing that the city is too biased to seat a fair jury. That could move the trial to a more conservative jurisdiction, making conviction (and a death sentence) far more likely."
