Alright, yes, the Justice system is clearly overreacting to one type of murder over the other, yes. But, just for clarity, those armed guards are not there to maintain control of Luigi like he is a super villain that could take down 10 men with his bare hands. And they are not just there to send a message to the public (although it can’t be ruled out that there may be a conscious component of that going on). But they are there because his incarceration is high profile with a lot of supporters who might wish to attack the guards to free him AND a lot of people who might wish to hurt him becuase of the political symbol he has become. It could definitely be argued that the other guy should be as big of a deal, but he just isn’t as high profile, so the risk is way lower there.

If they were concerned wouldn’t they have him in a kevlar vest?
That’s fair. I’m sure it’s more the concern for someone attacking them than him
Aren’t there politicians in the crowd as well? The mayor?
