In 1943, #SophieScholl, who was never about to kill or injure anyone, was faithful her decapitation would trigger a national revolt. She was wrong. @MikeDunnAuthor
Nazi Germany had murdered so many people by 1943 that one more murder got little reaction. There were good reasons members of the armed resistance groups in Nazi occupied Europe often carried at least a pistol on all operations such as running radio links to summon airdropped aid from UK sources. If cornered they quite often fought to the death.
By comparison, a very determined mid 1990's effort to execute Mumia Abu Jamal may have been sunk by deterrence. Members of powerful street crews showed themselves in the big Mumia marches, which included the chant "if Mumia dies, there will be fire in the sky!" This was a direct threat to meet any execution by burning down parts of Philadelphia. The execution was never carried out. This was diplomacy backed by armed force, and it got results.
I do believe if Luigi is executed and especially if Trump plays any role in that execution, there will be consequences. What they will be is difficult to predict from this point, but they won't be pretty.
