So, I was watching Dark History, and realized that this very situation in the beginning of the story is eerily similar to our current day Luigi situation. A "respected white man" gets killed, and the rich-folk go NUTS... and wouldn't you know it, that's a very Italian name on the guy they're claiming is guilty without even being close to a hint of a trial - and the cops couldn't blame a black or brown man this time, after all.

Anyways, you should watch this incredibly well-researched video about the Sicilian lynchings. Do be warned that some of the descriptions of the deaths of Italians are gruesome - the depiction of racism is EXTREME at some points (but she never once repeats any slurs used!). But it is American history...and we should strive not to repeat it. Oh right - they also, after all the hate crimes were committed, said they should make immigration laws tighter... they don't want more 'criminal Italians' coming into the country. A rhetoric that sounds familiar, just re-contextualized, in the modern day.

Obviously I don’t love that the UH shooter is an alt right shithead, but I really don’t think we get to be surprised. Nobody does vigilante violence quite like young men who think the Joker was literally about them. That doesn’t change the fact that this one, individual act was based as hell.

I would think a non-Antivan Rook would have to be taught from like Teia and Viago on how to care for Lucanis and learn the Antivan Depression Signs(TM):

Depression spaghetti (made it hastily, used cheap ingredients, did not make it like nonna with love and care, just Did Not CARE, lowkey almost crying over it because he knows it's bad, does not want Rook eating his depression spaghetti because it was not made with care, it was not made with love)

Depression wine (the cheapest wine to be classified as wine)

Depression eating (has not eaten a homemade meal in a week)

Depression Not Even Cooking (cooking is love, how can he cook when his heart is so sad)

Teia and Viago have to stage an intervention over his Depression Spaghetti, non-Antivan Rook is simply amazed by it all
