In the Netherlands, where lemmy.world is hosted, it’s illegal to advocate violence. Imprisonment is a violent act, so according to the law, the admins should be removing any comments which advocate for imprisoning Luigi. But they aren’t, because they’re biased. They don’t think it’s violence when the government does it.
The government claims a monopoly on violence and the violence of the government is supposed to be well regulated and democratically legitimated.
However this only works, if there is actual checks and balances and the question whether people are held accountable to their crimes does not depend on their income, net worth or connections.
